OT: 108th Obsequious Banter Thread: Nine dozen eggs and not one broken

[BernieParent]

My brother got my kids tickets to Disney on Ice Tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. Do they serve liquor at Disney on Ice and is there a limit?

They only serve liquor at Disney on the Rocks.

Disney on Ice is a racket. Just spent $20 bucks on one bag of popcorn. Almost got through the whole thing without buying any of the overpriced wands/light up toys but they got us just before the exit. $40 for a "Frozen" doll.

Yeah and the flights they do have are all at really weird times. Seems like Frontier establishing more of a presence at PHL has kind of pushed Southwest out though.

And Frontier sucks because they charge you for literally everything they can. I have like 120,000 Southwest points and I can't even really use them because their flights out of Philly suck so much.

Ugh....wife gets a call at 12:30 from nurse at hospital. "You may want to try and get down ASAP as your grandmother's BP has dropped so low it won't register".

So she calls her mom, packs a bag, and is off to pick her up and then has a 2 hr drive from approx 1:30-3:30. Not going to be a fun drive for them....luckily no snow in forecast.

So much for "holidays"

I’m sorry man. I hope it’s just an asshole nurse that didn’t read shit right

Baltimore is not too far away and neither is Newark.

That is true. We did fly out of BWI once, and it was great, but it's hard justifying the 2 hour drive when we're like 30 minutes from PHL. Never flew out of Newark and I don't know if I ever want to lol. Fingers crossed that maybe someday Southwest will return to having direct flights out of Philly again.

My niece is graduating from college in May and I looked at Southwest about a month or so ago to see what the schedule was like. I am 99% sure I saw a non-stop flight to both Tampa and Orlando listed and was like, great, I'll book the flight using points. I looked about two weeks ago and no such flight existed any more.

they stopped non stop to all of Florida and no idea why. Still some but not many.

Going to Baltimore is an easy drive (for me) and flight's are cheaper.

New airline of of Newark Delaware - Avelo Airlines. they have cheap flights to Florida.

I mean I know it is nipply out but whoever lit the car on fire across from Dalessandros today for warmth is a bit extreme....View attachment 626842

If you stick around, once they crack the hood and hose things down the battery sometimes explodes which is very cool

 

[Beef Invictus]

Southwest sucks anymore. The lack of nonstop flights out of Philly nowadays is just embarrassing

Southwest always seems like they could be on the verge of being a dominant airline but they just can't manage to get out of their own way.

I feel like I need to beat things up for you and your family

Was too busy when I first saw this, but this is absolutely glorious and I must show my wife when I can

A free round trip justifies it I think.

I flew out of Newark a few times. It isn't bad

1) Disney is the most expert company and at separating their customers from their money, and making them like doing it.

Airlines. Try Trenton airport for Flordia. Also had a good experience with Atlantic City 10 or 15 years ago

always have good flights with southwest. I would prefer to fly only them. Just never any hassle or issues. Will try the new airline of of Delaware in feb to see how that goes. Hopefully they dont try to nickel and dime me.

The commercial airlines out of the New Castle Airport never last. Frontier failed twice, Avelo likely wont make it longer then two years.

Their service is top notch. They fall apart under the hood.

My favorite SW flight was from Denver to DC. Because of weather all the flights connecting to feed that plane were cancelled. So there were maybe...ten? people on the whole plane but it still had to fly to place it in the right spot. We got all the snacks we wanted. The staff gave us all free booze; the flight was a pure loss for the airline anyway. They kicked back and relaxed with us.

agree. though where was Frontier flying to out of their? Did they have Florida only flights? This is all Avelo is doing for now.

I just prefer the straight forward approach. Had something similar happen many years ago.

Out of Baltimore they just seem to have cheaper flights as well.

Yes - for $39 bucks one way to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando.

Russian Lawmaker Who Slammed Putin’s War Dies in Window Fall

Two days before Pavel Antov fell out a window, a Russian businessman he was traveling with was also found dead, according to local reports.

www.thedailybeast.com

A wealthy Russian businessman and regional lawmaker from Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party plunged to his death from a hotel window in India over the weekend—two days after a fellow Russian he was traveling with was found dead in the same hotel.

Pavel Antov, 65, who topped Forbes’ list of the richest Russian lawmakers in 2019, thus joins a rapidly growing list of prominent Russian figures found dead in mysterious circumstances.

I think there's a list of like 20 or more prominent Russian politicians/media/wealthy since the Ukraine invasion who criticized Russia's actions in it and have died under mysterious circumstances with like 10-12 being the 'fall from window'

That Jennifer Lawrence russian spy movie was so badly made. They should have spent at least half the movie learning how to push people out of windows.

Well she made it thru the night but today has fever, cough, molten hands. Has not eaten in 3 days. Only a matter of time.

@Lord Defect you ever use the Ryobi hobby station? It looks pretty great, and I got a home depot gift card. Been trying to make a cutting board and hand chiseling the juice grooves is looking like shit because I am shit, so I figure I can rout with that and do tons of other stuff.
