Right now I'm ... Janine awesomeness
I would like more options than flying to get around this country quickly than just planes. I know, I know, Amtrak is a joke....But after my last vacation, where the folks were herded onto the planes and packed like sardines into rows with inadequate legroom (yeah, just TRY to reach your carry-on bag under the seat in front of you!), beverage carts steered by tired flight attendants who just don't care anymore blocking the aisles, and other passengers trapping you into those seats (my ankles swelled up going and coming back), combined with inadequate air filtering, I'd like an option where I can move around more freely and avoid coughers by going to the snack bar if I need to.
They're charging us for snacks now, anyways, why DON'T they have snack bars on planes? I hate those carts.
Wait, where was I? I got distracted by the snackc thing. Oh, yeah... trains. Fast trains, and more of 'em. That's what I want. Fast trains with good snack bars.
Yes, fast trains would be awesome. Didn't we talk about that in light of the stimulus package a couple weeks back?I have shared past Amtrak horror stories before, so let me share a good one. There's a dedicated track between Chicago and Milwaukee, so freight trains can't mess up the schedule...that train is fantastic. 22 bucks one way...a little over an hour...downtown to downtown...perfect.
i want to be on a steam train headed out west that potentially could be held up and robbed. plus i want to shoot buffalo out the window while riding. with wireless internet of course
There might be a Wii game for that, Kevin. If not, there should be. Instead of Grand Theft Auto, it would be Grand Theft: Wild West.
that would be cool until PETA protested the game for the bison slaughter and they protested in front of my house and then i would have to eat a live pigeon in front of them in retaliation and then i am tazed by an overzealous cop and my arrest picture winds up on the internet with me looking like a bald nick nolte with a few feathers stuck in my teeth.....
I just went from one office to another and stopped in between to buy Easter shoes for my kid. Man, that girl is getting some big feets! And, of course, now I'm picturing what Kevin just described....
Two words (okay, well, maybe 3): DOGWOOD TREES! OMG!
Don't eat a pigeon, Kevin!!They must be crawling with disease. You would get some kind of rabid bird madness.
And then what would you do?

Well my first thought was a bat but where would one get a bat in a pinch
Sally - just to spite PETA which I now realize I could do with a fur coat I suppose
Right now I'm thinking about pigeons and waiting for the coffee to finish before heading to the gym. I'll be in Chicago with the family (Lincoln park zoo, see my godson, etc.) until late tomorrow night or early Easter morning. I'm leaving the laptop at home, so unless the hotel has good computer access in the lobby, and I can't sleep, I'll be offline until I return. Have a great (early, I hope) start to the weekend, everyone!

Have a great weekend RA.
Have a great weekend RA.
Packing a couple things. I've got two hours of class, and then I'm going home for the weekend. Yes.By car, which means 5 hrs+ both ways, but there will be cookies, music, and good company. So worth it.
Sorry about that, Julie. I enjoying a day off with gorgeous weather here in Omaha. Greening up!

It really is.Good luck with that, Joi.
Right now, I'm waiting for a fax and reading and eBay listing by Hank III. I'm sure you were all dying to know.
What will be on the fax? Something exciting?
Have you ever sent an exciting fax?I haven't.
Exactly, Julie. It's an extension for an inspection period. The ebay listing is far more exciting.
Tell us more. Give us a shot at excitement. How about a link to the listing?

Yeah, we always call her Larry's mom.
Yeah, we always call her Larry's mom.
Like she really enjoys being reminded of past mistakes.
Right now I'm deboning a giraffe. My wife's in Egypt at the moment, so it seemed like a good time to get the job done. Sorry for butting in. Please continue.
Isn't that what everyone does on Good Friday, Richard?
I don't think everyone goes to Egypt. Do they?
If they do it will get pretty crowded.
Israel would be more appropriate. Maybe everyone treks across the desert from Cairo. Doesn't sound a like a very Good Friday to me.
This instruction manual is a joke! "Here's one we completed earlier."

You make your point forcefully, Larry.
I've been spending the day cleaning out my computer, deinstalling stuff I never installed in the first place, but that snuck on somehow. Isn't McAfee supposed to stop this kind of thing?Interesting hobby you've got there, Richard. Be careful PETA doesn't come after you, or you might have to eat a pigeon like Kevin did...
We don't have PETA here, Jackie. And I think they'd only protest if I tried to debone a live giraffe. And we all know how ludicrous that would be.McAfee actually scours the web in search of "stuff" to install on your computer. I thought everyone had received my message.
Message, Richard? What message?
Mod
The one I just made up about McAfee scouring the web like a spam-seeking missile.

I'm with Larry on trains.
Well, we're not actually "on" trains...because then I wouldn't be with Larry.
You know what I mean.
