COLUMBIA, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE QUEEN.

How exactly does she need a thighmaster? Or what is a thighmaster for? Maybe thighmaster = Columbia? Is that what you meant? :D

Are those car keys in her hand? She won't be needing those either.... nor the wallet that probably resides in that European shoulder bag. Good for her, but did ya'll know they awarded a CMOH yesterday too? To a guy that is still alive. Here's raising a glass to him and all those like him...

Hear, hear! Four MOH's since 9/11 and he the first to be awarded the CMOH while still living!! Should be many more in my opinion. Check out the story of Rafael Peralta, for example. I'm carrying his torch out here in So Cal.

Both of those pairings would have worked on my schedule and my trip on the 26th would have work on both of their schedules. My request was denied, but the pilots junior to me were granted the days I wanted... Does unstacking just say FU to seniority?

This is all conjecture but I think PBS looks at the trips available when it is processing your bid. If it determines that unstacking needs to happen, then you are unstacked. Probably, by the time PBS got to the junior guys bid, no more unstacking was needed on the 26th so voila!:rolleyes: They get the days off and you don't.:( Again, this is all conjecture on my part!

I'd vote her for Queen.





hopefully FTB doesn't get another infraction over this video... :D I mean the last one was a Soprano's video with two mobsters taking out lawn workers working in their "neighborhoods".

I agree, that's what would happen in that situation.

Anyone have a solution to a AK merger that, if forced to merge, we could find palatable for our brethren in LAX?

DOH? Naw.....what a concept

This is why NWA had 10 day orient trips...didn't need a NRT base. Once ypou were on the road you were on reserve!

Really? You want that to happen in a merger with AK? Me thinks you'll have a different approach if/when that might happen. Take a look at their list....and I think you'll come to a different solution.;)

Vodka eyeball shots a dangerous way to imbibe

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
College students have long done crazy things, from swallowing gold fish to jamming themselves into telephone booths. Not all things they try are dangerous, but some are.
Two new cases in point: consumption of controversial alcoholic energy drinks likely to be banned today; and a bizarre method of trying to get plastered by absorbing alcohol through the eyeball.

The eyeball shots don't succeed and definitely fall in the category of risky behaviors, experts say.

"This is an activity that has no upside to it," says David Granet, a professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, San Diego.

The theory among the students seems to be that alcohol can be absorbed through mucous membranes, and the eyeball and inner side of the eyelids are covered in mucous membrane, so, voila!— vodka eyeball shots. There are more than 30 homemade videos of young men doing this on YouTube.

Not only does it fail to get someone drunk, "it hurts and it will cause permanent damage to the surface of the eye," Granet says.

Ophthalmologists have been speaking out against this trend ever since it appeared on U.S. campuses last spring. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, it appears to have begun in England.

"There is absolutely, positively nothing that can be construed as fun about this," Granet says.

These kinds of stunts are "a normal reflection of this developmental stage," says Paul Lyons, a professor of community medicine at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Drinking pranks are really just experimentation by young adults who are not at full adult decision-making capacity, he says.

Another generally ineffectual means of becoming inebriated is the use of vodka-soaked tampons for both women and men (used as suppositories for males).

Here are some boys that were completely failed by their parents, and are in serious need of mentoring. "OK son, first things first...the vodka goes in your mouth..."
