  1. That's a pretty small airport, so options are going to be limited, though it does appear that there's a daily AA flight from Dallas that goes there. Still, I think the San Jose airport is going to have more (and probably cheaper) flight options, and it's an easy 90 minute drive from that airport to Carmel down the 101 and the 1.
  2. Only needs a "that was cool" comment from Butthead to be complete.
  3. When I hear "don't take [*insert drug name here*] if you are allergic to it," I always wonder to myself, "How the hell am I supposed to know if I'm allergic to it?" I suppose I could try it and see. But if it turns out I'm allergic to it, then I'm fucked.
  4. What a difference one errant key stroke makes.
  5. What acting? I'm sure they told him, "Just be your usual asshole self," and he took that and ran with it while the cameras were rolling.
  6. You are doing this thread correctly.
  7. I had to chuckle when I saw KOTFM got nominated for best editing. Scorsese is a legend, but he and Thelma Schoonmaker have fallen off badly in that department, IMO. I liked KOTFM in general, but thought it was bloated with unnecessarily drawn-out scenes as well as scenes that didn't advance the plot much. The Irishman had the same problem -- even worse, actually. I guess I'm in the minority with this opinion.
  8. Screw all four remaining teams. I'll be rooting for entertaining games and two meteor strikes.
  9. Season 2 was completely implausible with some terrible acting to boot, but the worst part is that Serinda Swan never got nekkid. All that said, I'm in for season 3.
  10. If I was to add Waipi'o Valley to your list and drop the National Park (we're going to devote a full day just to seeing the Park), would it all be do-able in one day? (We'd be based out of Hilo in this particular instance.)
  11. Pretty much agree with everything you wrote. Things happen. Fan should have checked on Clark to see if she was okay. I think the fan probably would/could have avoided the collision had she not been filming, though.
  12. The idiot fan was videoing while she was running onto the court.
  13. Thanks. In looking at some websites (including the one GenXer linked), it appears now that only 4WD vehicles are allowed on the portion of the road above the visitors center. If true, that might be enough to get me to spring the extra $$ for a Jeep.
  14. Guidebook (Big Island Revealed) strongly recommends renting a 4WD on the Big Island. We haven't yet nailed down the exact attractions we want to visit (aside from Volcanoes NP and a helicopter tour), so I'm not sure at this point whether 4WD is really necessary. Was wondering whether those who have visited the Big Island found 4WD to be necessary and/or helpful.
  15. Vegas from about Oct. 15 to May 15, and then somewhere at elevation (e.g., Mt. Charleston area) during the hot months would be a pretty nice situation, IMO.
  16. Well, yeah, it's the Clippers. Did you really expect something different?
