  1. Don’t no airbag got a head, torso, and 4 flailing limbs.
  2. And if said wifebeater has chicken grease stains? The swearing requirements go through the roof.
  3. How does HBO or IFC also “get away” with it? Essentially, the FCC rules for this apply to OTA. To get something like ESPN, HBO, or even Comedy Central, you have to pay for that in one way or another. OTA can be grabbed by anyone, obviously. That leaves your “local” channels that also broadcast OTA bound to that, but “cable”, not so much. Now way back when, the original cable channels had some type of agreement amongst themselves that they would abide by that same guideline (probably for the children) in their offerings. How it’s all played out and the finer details, beats me. But that’s the gist of it all.
  4. Slider showed up today. Cabinet probably won’t ship for another week to ten days. Probably better that way; I still have to figure out where to put it until the floor is done.
  5. What do you mean by “getting away with?”
  6. Scottie is -2 -> 8* Leaders at -4, for now.
  7. Well it sure isn’t, “Flock of Seagulls.” Degenerate Seagulls, maybe.
  8. If you fly domestically with any frequency, even 3x-4x/yr, and would be interested in how to game AA's system domestically, holler and I would be happy to go through all of it again. It only works if you travel abroad annually though, as you need 4 flights (individual, so A->B with a layover is 2, so r/t w/ a layover each way makes 4) on either BA metal, or a codeshare, and BA can't sell domestic US tickets as a codeshare. But, the end game is free, full lounge access (yes, even Flagship Lounge, and even if only flying domestically) as well as some other stuff. But the above is the big thing. Why? Because when you get in a bind, the agents in the lounge are far better equipped to fix it, and fix it well. They have user permissions well above the agents available to the plebs. Plus, you know, self-pour at the Flagship Lounges kinda rocks.
  9. 203mph is the converted value. Guessing he was on the autobahn.
