I have several neighbors who are very -obnoxious- Gator grads, so I only root for the Noles to pizz them off and make my wife happy.

How can you not have Hunt for Red October in there?

Scambo: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
tsquare: I suppose.
Scambo: No papers?
tsquare: No papers, state to state.
Scambo: Well then, in winter I will live in... Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives.
tsquare: Oh, at least.
Cheers
George

Had a FEDEX guy in the jumpseat today. He just got hired this summer but based in ANC on the MD-11. $60/hr first year pay jumps to $150/hr for 2nd-5th year. Capt got upset because a 2nd yr wide body FO gets paid more than a 14yr narrow body Capt. Plus he said the retirement numbers next year are significant and that FedEx will be hiring so all you disgruntled people(only if you're senior to me) can go apply there!

Some things in here don't react very well to bullets.

Now I am very confused. Your wife likes "The Notebook", but will let you watch football?

And people who think Rocky Top is obnoxious have never been to a FSU game..

It just isn't the pay per flying hour. The retirement and other benefits also blow the majors away.

That's cool.. You can be Sean... I like Sam Neill just as well. Watched the end of Dead Calm last night.. Nicole Kidman was just a.. well.. kid. He was pretty young too, but it reminded me of Bogie and Bacall.
