  1. What a great winning goal by Brown! Way to stay with the play. What a big win to kick off this trip. Have fun at the White House tomorrow, boys - you earned it.
  2. Gearing up and gathering info. Going to fill out my bracket this coming Friday. Wish me luck!
  3. It's Mountain Dew. It's worth it . . . for a couple more months.
  4. Right actor for the right role. Makes a huge, huge difference.
  5. They shoul hire mike kryszshewski.
  6. I was in the lobby of our hotel in Orlando when the storm just rolled in from nowhere. A ton of lightning followed by winds that were 85 mph. Rained hard like you can't believe. We were right in the middle of a tornado warning and feel blessed that it didn't get worse. Severe winds finally calmed down but the rain didn't let up for awhile. Had to walk about 150 feet to get our car and got drenched. We got 1.5 inches of rain in about ten minutes.I'm more than a little impressed that they had that course anywhere near playable today. Hats off to the grounds crew.
  7. Several of my friends have been raving about he one in either Palm Springs or calimesa (or maybe in both places).The Veggie Grill is also very good. I know glaus girl likes to eat there, and it's all vegetarian. Ate at a pizza place in Fort Lauderdale last week called Sir Pizza, and it was excellent.
  8. Veggie curry chicken in a mushroom soup sauce. Veggie chili, which is sweet and not terribly spicy. Toast.
  9. No. St1ck promised to bring me a suitcase full of Mountain Dew at fanfest, so we need to him around at least until July. After that, we can talk.
  10. 15-3. I thought a couple of the questions were a little obscure, like the one about Amos.
  11. CS at the Grand Floridian Hotel and Epcot were exceptional. CS at the grotesquely overpriced Rainforrest Cafe was not - $63 for four veggie burgers, plus if you want to switch your potato chips (standard with each burger) for fries, they tack on an extra $1.99. Are fries so rare these days that we now need to charge extra for them on a combo burger meal? Pound sand, Rainforrest cafe.
  12. Just refill the empties with something else, and seal them back up. Seems like it would've been easy enough to do. Allegedly.
  13. Not quite. Have seen a ton of their fans roaming here in Orlando. Unfortunately.
  14. Personally, I would have named the main character Judge, Reinhold, or Brad, but maybe that's just me.
  15. According to a recent survey, those are usually people who are way too cool for most of the other rabble in the office. They certainly have my respect.
  16. He's wearing a red and white striped shirt, and big thick bifocals.
  17. We watch chopped all the time. I like the all stars edition, when the judges themselves have to compete. Scott Conant is always described as a brilliant chef, but no ones ever seen him cook. Put him on the line with a mystery basket of ketchup, Brussels sprouts, egg nog, and won ton wrappers.
  18. This quote alone made this thread completely worth reading. Brilliant, DR, just brilliant.
  19. Bloomberg now focusing on hiding cigarrettes in stores. Gotta admire his tenacity.
  20. So here we are in florida on a singing tour for nine days. Trouble at the rental car window at the airport because of some agent with a crappy attitude. She neglected to tell any of us that some of our cars are equipped with a Sun Pass, florida's electronic toll road pass so you don't have to pay. A few of us had to pay $15-20 cash in tolls before finding out we could have skipped that part. Thanks to the kind toll collector who pointed this out to me I was finally able to save some cash. Budget also equipped my Chevy impala with XM radio. The radio signal for it suddenly quit. Couldn't reset it either so I called Budget to ask for their help. After being transferred/handed off to someone else, I finally found a terrific lady who told me their initial contract had expired and there was nothing they could do about it. However, if I wanted to come in they would give me a small handheld unit . . . for a small fee. God job, Budget. At downtown Disney yesterday, we're at Portobello's Yacht club for lunch. My daughter has to go bak to the car for something but gets something in her eye and is in a lot of pain. We can't find it or wash it out. The restaurant manager tells us about a walk-in urgent care place and gives us directions to get there. We're clearing out and paying our bill and she asks how our food was. Told her we'd really been looking forward to the creme brûlée for dessert. She tells us she'll be there all day and f we come back, she'll take care of us. Things work out okay and my daughter is ine (very small corneal abrasion) so we return to the restaurant. Manager honored her word and she comped us almost $30 of dessert. Sorry for this being so long, but it sure got me to again wonder why some companies are so good at customer service and others are so crappy about it. Why would I ever want to rent another car from Budget again? Yet, I can't wait o return o Portabellos and tell all of you about it. What gives?
