QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 07:39 AM) Yeah, you can check in online at (I think) 12 a.m. on the day of your flight. I haven't flown in a year, though, so it may have changed. Ah ok. But I still haven't heard any reasons why their system is better for a frequent business traveler.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I think Smith a terrific writer, but as a director, he is below average. Always has been. You're being generous.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) What about online check-in? You can bypass the entire line for SW by checking in online? Wouldn't everyone just do that?

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) Interesting, so if no one checks in, they would have empty seats? In theory, yes. But those seats always seem to be taken by people choosing to pay a few extra bucks at check-in for the better seats or standby passengers for other flights.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) Well, sorry to be an asshole back, but you are being an asshole, and you're wrong. I dunno how you can claim that a scientific theory that attempts to explain the origin of the building blocks of life doesn't deal with the origin of life. Well, I dunno how old you are, but I'm not that old (near 28). I was taught in school that life was created by a big explosion in the universe which created elements, which by hundreds of different means formed, multiplied, split, connected, molded, morphed, grew, blah blah until my beautiful face came into the world. When I asked where those elements came from, I was told "we don't know yet," an answer I continually see out there which is just crap. I am not, and have not, argued that science does not help us explain the means of we got from that stage to this stage, but it's incredibly narrow minded to claim that science doesn't try and answer the question of creation or that it's just a "blurb" in the text book. It's the f***ing essential question that science in this arena attempts to answer. Like a religious belief, however, it's untestable, unfalsifiable, and therefore unscientific. And that's my point. You can either believe in a book, or you can believe that there's an answer, we just dunno what it is yet, both are equally "unscientific" and both require some leap of faith. Yet one is considered to be moronic (clearly your opinion), but the other is perfectly acceptable. Clearly you didn't read me qualifying my answers to a specific issue here, which is the unanswerable and unproveable question about creation, and how science still thinks its got the right answer, despite not having any answer (oh but we have a methodology!), and it poo-poo's everything else. /participation in this thread. I'll go back to the Republican thread where us unedumicated folk gather and talk about people in the clouds. What grade did you get in science because you didn't seem to retain anything resembling what I've been taught.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) Which seat are you trying to get? Does United hold back some seats for Economy Plus flyers? I was always on either Continental or American if I wasn't on SW. Every seat on their planes are up for grabs, first come first served, and up front aisle seats fill pretty quick, followed by the windows. I think they keep economy plus seats open on United for those with status. They also allow those checking in on the day of the flight to upgrade to any available economy plus seating.

They were the source material for the sleeper hit "Three Men and a Baby".

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) I know how that goes. Is Fiat making cars for the U.S now? Yes. The CEO of Dodge was the guest speaker at the luncheon I attended last Thursday. There will be a pretty big Fiat presence in the US by years end.

Went there last Thursday for a private event. They wore white that day as well.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Nice. The Jon Stewart line of reasoning. Instead of debating an issue, just make a joke and you win. Not sure why you're in the Dem thread trying to convince me that the bible is fact.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) Who is 'Vizquez'? My Dominican neighbor.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:37 PM) And the right is the close-minded side, I forgot. Right. I'll come back after I round up 2 of every species and build an ark.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) How could you forget Kotsay for Kong at 1st base? Unfortunately we all know we'll see that line up a little more than we'd like to.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) I see zero difference between a book of ancient history......and the Bible. Then there's nothing else for me to say.

I think the only question left is will he go into Cooperstown wearing a White Sox cap?

Those theories comprise of facts while the bible includes none.

When the bible is a big portion of your facts then I understand why that would come off as preachy.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 01:09 PM) *vomits* I couldn't remember who are backup catcher is otherwise he'd be in there too.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) You must be flying some unpopular routes if only two weeks out gets you a great seat. That was never my experience. Two weeks out and all the aisle seats from the wings forward are gone. I have status with United. I rarely have trouble getting economy plus seating even if I'm booking within 2 weeks of the flight.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 12:54 PM) How come you didn't take any pictures of them? Are you holding back? I went with my wife. I didn't feel like getting slapped.

woohoo Steve!

*raises hand* astounding to say the least
