and that means what to me?

EW- well if it makes any difference, I'm a local celebrity in Arizona.
Me- and I've never heard of you... so that doesn't help much.

Fail on all accounts! I love those customers, I get those "i am so "well known" here excuses whenever I ask for ID when cashing a check so I loved that you had put him in his place.

EW- well if it makes any difference, I'm a local celebrity in Arizona.

And I'm a local celebrity in my neck of the woods. That and a dollar will buy me a soda out of the coke machine at work.

Seriously, down here, working at the paper where I work does basically make you a celebrity because your name is in their house on a regular basis or something. It's kind of goofy, actually...

Anyway, no. It makes no difference. Unless you're a celebrity I don't like. Then I'll try even HARDER not to help you.

and if smileyeagle's hotel is in the business area where I think it is (street names of famous aviators),

pretty close actually... we're about the same distance except on the east side of the airport instead of the west (actually, and this is a really obscure reference, we're only two blocks from the hotel that C. Jay Cox thought wasn't a real hotel name until after releasing his movie)

Reminds me of the story about the Princess who goes to see the famous doctor. The doctor tells her to take a seat and he will be with her in a bit. The Princess says don't you know who I am, I am princess XXXX of YYYYY.

The Doctor says "oh, excuse me. Take 2 seats"

Let's just hope that despite his shuttle victory he still missed his flight.

Let's just hope that despite his shuttle victory he still missed his flight.

That is what I am hoping too, and that he has to wait in an area where an army of soccer-mum's with their colicky babies are... and some half-insane evangelist stalks him across the terminal... then the fleas of a 1000 rabies stricken llama'a infest his....okay I am done now

[Belari]

I would have "forgotten" to talk to the parents. But then again, I'm a huge jerk when I encounter EWs.

[Damien]

if i was one of the parents, i would have told him to flock off with the pigeons

[nomorecarts]

That's 7:10. I guess he could make it

nope, 7:15 is push back time and they have to allow for the safety speech


random airport tip:at O'Hare if you fly American walk down to the security checkpoints by Alaska and Delta, I've been through there every year for the past 4 and the lines are always short

EW- well if it makes any difference, I'm a local celebrity in Arizona.

Ha ha!! Hell the guy with no chin that sells appliances in Tucson could be considered a "local celebrity".

If you ever get that you can pm me for my phone number and that way you can ask them to hold so you can confirm it with someone in Arizona. Then we can both have a good laugh.

[deafcat24]

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I've never flown before.

But shouldn't the guy have been at the airport FOR 6:30 or earlier, not leave the hotel at 6:30.

I know international is over 2 hours, I'm not sure about domestic.

[nomorecarts]

it's 90 mins to 2 hours for domestic, I've seen long lines that may take a half hour to get through security by the American counters at O'Hare. he should have been at the airport by 6 if he wanted to make his flight, 5:15-5:45 is reccommended

[Evil Queen]

EW- well if it makes any difference, I'm a local celebrity in Arizona.

And I'm a local celebrity here. What's your point?

[Mordecai]

So do I. And being a local celebrity can include being a male stripper.

True, true.

[wraiths_crono]

Being from AZ myself, please allow me to apologize on the state's behalf, but for what it's worth I'd never heard of him either.

Same here!
