what's worse than airports that have scant dining options before the check-in counters?

nothing. my brother-in-law dropped me off at dulles at 4am and my flight doesn't leave until 9pm, so i've got thirteen hours before i can check in. napping on the concrete floor and choosing between the absurdly expensive chop house and the convenience store where i can get a bag of skittles. where's a fuging wendys when you need one? there's probably eight on the other side of customs.

i was going to take a bus up (far cheaper than flights) but my brother-in-law offered to drive me for free. i just had about $9000 of expenses broadside me in the last two weeks (blown HVAC system, blown sewer/drainage line, and car repair) so i jumped on it. i'll just sit here and work on thesis poo all day.

 

this cheddar burger is some good poo though so maybe i take back the thread

All those flyer miles and you haven't scored one of those Club/Lounge passes?

 

I'm sure you could talk your way into the United Global First lounge, drink some scotch and hors d'oeuvres. Heck you might get lucky and meet some of those leech lobbyist or strike gold and handshake with some Congress Critters. Just pretend to be one characters in the Tinderbox spectrum (except Pstall, cause neither side really cares about independents) and you'll have another chapter for your book.

i spent 60 hours at the airport in kuala lumpur a few years back when i had a rash of bad luck with flights... but they had big cushy bench seats with low lighting on an upstairs terrace and ten restaurant options in the flight checkin terminal. take some lessons IAD

i've been doing long-ass layovers for the past six years. i slept on the concrete walkway in front of the departure terminal in sulawesi, inside kuala lumpur intn'l, at the taiwan airport, LAX, in baltimore... i have found over the years that the back brace on my backpack makes a kickass pillow. long layovers are fun because i pretty much get a dozen straight hours reading, writing, or sketching maps in my journal. it's a vacation all its own.

 

i just want some goddamn cheap food, that's all

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
