QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) I watched Open Water last night. I was a little disapointed in it but it was a relatively fun movie and considering how little it was made for they did a good job. I also didn't like the ending. Anyone else seen it? 6/10 I agree, the real story that it's based on is FAR more interesting.

Priceline.com sucks
QUOTE(SAVVY18 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) Southsider, take a look at biddingfortravel.com. It is a site that lists out what people paid for their rooms/airfare/cars on priceline. They have an excellent FAQ which addresses bidding, re-bidding and general tips about priceline. It is broken down between Air, Hotel, vacations and rental cars. They do list out the zone's and what hotels are in those zones. This can be used to your advantage with the issue you are having. Let's say you are bidding on a 4* hotel in Clearwater Beach, for example, and don't get it for the price you bid. You can look and see if there are any in the St. Pete zone. If there aren't, you could add that zone to your bid. That would be a change to your bid, but since there aren't any in that zone, you would never get a hotel there and would still get a second shot at bidding the zone you want to be in. **** Before you do this type of thing, make sure to go to biddingfortravel.com and read up on it. I don't want you to get screwed if you make a mistake. ******* They also have a service where they ask you to fill out a template for them and then you can ask for "bidding assistance". They will use their experience to suggest the price you should bid. Again, make sure to read up on this before doing it. I booked my sister-in-law's honeymoon using priceline and we got her a room on Kanaapali beach in the Sheraton for $140 a night. The rack rate is $270 a night. If you know how to use priceline and know the tricks, it is a GREAT thing and a GREAT way to save alot of money. If you need more info about this, just PM me. But isn't Priceline set up to where you book BEFORE you get to see the travel details? In other words, if they match your bid, you are stuck with whatever they give you.

Orbitz.com rules. There's no guessing or bidding, the detailed intinerary is right there. The total you see on the screen is the grand total including taxes, no hidden costs.

Amazing Race 7
QUOTE(winodj @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) I always thought it would be great to have a couple that is more interested in the travelling than the competition... just doing enough to stay in - and see if they have a shot half way so that they can "take over." That'd be my strategy. You might get bounced pretty quickly with that plan.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) OMG, I'm sorry you guys, but I'd rather punch myself in the face 600 times than watch a Grateful Dead/Pink Floyd cover band. Two of my least favorite bands ever......I honestly can't find ONE song I like between the two groups. If you go, have a great time, I mean that sincerely. But I would NEVER. I doubt I'm going, enjoy the punches though.

I saw 'Buffalo 66' a while ago and then again last night on IFC, it is hilarious. Anyone else seen this?

What restaurant would you eat from everyday?
QUOTE(3E8 @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) It's usually half-price at lunch. You could probably eat there for $20-25 per person in the afternoon. Nice once a month treat or something. That's true, but I think they don't take lunch reservations. Yeah $25.00 for all you can eat definately beats the $50.00 for one small steak that most places are charging now.

Martha Freekin Stewart
Ok, I can kind of see why her legal troubles made headlines, but she was MEGA huge even before that. Why exactly? Is she the 1st successful female? No. 1st person to go from rags to riches? No. Help me out here. Just wait til the book and movie come out and she does the talk show circuit. We'll need the Martha channel.

Comcast Sports channel
So, I just looked at what's on after like 6:00 on Comcast, figuring it must something popular. BOATING......AND SKIING.

That's great, but no replays sux.

Who's going to the sox-brewers games?
I'll be at Saturday's game. Anyone know of a good music venue in Milwaukee. Not a sports bar or hole in the wall tavern. More along the lines of a bar that has live bands, more underground 'indie rock' kinda stuff. Anyone?

Comcast Sports channel
So, I was all geeked up because I heard the Comcast station was gonna televise every ST game in Chicago. So far, it looks like they show one or two a week and they don't replay them at night. Anyone know the deal?

interesting pic
QUOTE(Carlo Paz @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 05:14 AM) Paulie as a catcher...yeah, that would be great. He's not nearly slow enough now. With the added wear on his knees, he would make Smokey Burgess look like B. B. Richards. A Dennis Miller-esque reference, nicely done.

Serious Note
QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) I've never had a gun pointed at me. I would probably piss my pants if I did. Good to hear you are ok and no one was hurt. I seldom hear of bank robberies in this country any more. It just seems like no one can get away with it any more. Fairly recently, TCF banks were being held up left and right.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 06:30 PM) Or it might have been 75 without crack. You're probably right, if I remember correctly, he had serious gas on his fastball. That's like 5 seasons of 20 victories.....at 24!! Wow.

Amazing Race 7
QUOTE(Purdue129 @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) I've actually caught most of every episode, of every season. I've enjoyed the concept from the beginning. They did go to Peru and that's where the pitstop was. My only problem with the show is that devote SO much time to them finding that 1st flight. That's 90% of the battle, if you book a good flight, you're almost home free. Cool show anyway.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) Love it. You get enough cholesterol for the month in one sitting at this place. LOL, it's a meat eaters paradise. I've been to lots of steak places and 'Fogo' blows the panties right off of them all.

Unfortunately, I've had a gun pulled on me before and you find out a LOT about yourself in those few seconds, don't you?
