You dont tip. Act like you have been there before and try not to wear sweatpants and a t-shirt. If you can hold it together and not act as drunk you really are they will take care of you.Have a good time, first class is the only way to fly.

That's exactly why I wanted to know about the tip thing, I didn't want to try handing them cash and look like a noob.I thought about dressing nicely but in flying out on a Sunday, I kinda planned on wearing rags. Fml.

:flashesshaka: \nnn/I like the Tigers. Verlander will win two...or three if he has to (figure he could start 3 times with how they stretch this #### out...but either way). He looked possessed the other night, guy's on a mission. I like how he doesn't go against CC, too. However, I am a Yankee hater so...Hey good budMornin!

You dont have to dress to the 9's, but try and make it look like you are not headed to the closest walmart when you get to Cali.You are talking mostly about businessmen that paid 4 figures for this flight and the flight attendants aren't making $3 an hour. This isn't a tipping situation. I don't get why airlines dont rip out a few rows of coach seats and put in more first class seats, but make it a little more reasonable. I'd gladly pay 50% more. Coach sucks.That's exactly why I wanted to know about the tip thing, I didn't want to try handing them cash and look like a noob.I thought about dressing nicely but in flying out on a Sunday, I kinda planned on wearing rags.

Last year, Lelyand refused to let him start on short rest IIRC. Which means he will start game 3 and possibly 7 if Leyland decides to stop being a vag:flashesshaka: \nnn/I like the Tigers.

Seriously. Even w an aisle seat and good movies on iPad I'm getting so sick of flying. I did well in poker this year, it's time to be comfortable on flights,Might as well fly surrounded by livestock.

For the record - Spirit airlines does "First class seats" sans the free booze for $75 more on long lights. It's the best kept secret in america. First class to Boston is like $1,200 round trip. "Big front seats" on spirit is $400 roundtrip.

I found a flipped line last season that had Mark Reynolds YES K at +160 and took it big. Somehow, Reynolds didn't strike out that game. Do you know how rare that is?Be careful guys. Hitting line errors is even much more dangerous than hitting your average "bad" line early. bmj can testify to his Scotty Podsednik experience. I've learned the hard way myself.
for the record, I lost that Podsednik bet and still got cut.

This Sept is my 10th anniversary. Mrs Ref and I are going to Vegas and then to Nappa and back. We are going to fly "sprit first class" on both legs. The whole trip without bag fees is going to be less then $800. I'll probably shove that much on a OESF draw at some point.Really great posting,God I love this thread.Thanks Ref.For the record - Spirit airlines does "First class seats" sans the free booze for $75 more on long lights.

Wow, I can't believe they start the ALCS right away, tomorrow?! I figured it would be at least a few days rest, although not like they need it. Shows you how much I'm paying attention. Anyway, Detroit's got to win two with the way Verlander looks, imo. They'll do that, it's time.

Here's another tip.
If you're ever in Vegas, avoid the puddle-jumper, sight-seeing planes which take you over the Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam.
Like this one
I took an ex there a several years back, and lemme tell ya.... I'm happy to be alive. I'm not scared of flying in the least, and I'm not a religious person at all, but I must have done the sign of the cross about 50 times.
Feels like you are in the back of a chicken truck, only you're in the air. Whatever the opposite of "first class" is, this was it.

I'll pass on your ball but thanks.I'm a Broncos fan actually, and I head back to the island soon anyway.
Let me make a STRONG suggestion for SF next weekend. My favorite music festival -- Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit. At the house the Dead built, Shoreline Amphitheatre, just south of SF. Change that ticket to Monday, gb. Not the best lineup this year but still. AXL ROSE??? Coud be disastrous, which would be awesome.
This year's lineup:
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jack White
Guns N' Roses
The Flaming Lips
Sarah McLachlan
Foster the People
Lucinda Williams
Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers
k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang
Gary Clark Jr.
Ray LaMontagne

And I'll just come right out and admit. I really like Sarah McLachlan. I'd prolly go for her, Neil Young and to see how fat Axl is now

Lou Holts is 25-6 picking college games this year. mark may is 12-19 
John Bender
Footballguy
This is a judgement free zone.I do too.
Jesus, I did not think I'd be saying admitting that in here tonight though...
Except that as a dog owner that humane society commercial makes me
I would take some time to check out SF if you haven't been there before - I think it's a city everyone should visit.That being said, I'm researching ticket availability for the 49ers game Thursday and Giants (if Washington holds on) Friday.

Couple things this morning.
Went on a nice run this week with baseball, parlays, etc. If I don't post plays here, they win. When I post them here, they lose. Funny how that works. Yesterday I had a 2.5unit parlay on Yankees -200 with Cards +1.5 (-195).
I wanted to bet the Pistons to win the Central Division but the odds on RB appear to be out of whack right now. Not going to touch it and risk getting canned there. Those can't be right.
I'm not sure Rutgers should be giving more than a touchdown to Syracuse

For some reason just not feeling it and passing today.
Just noticed that there is almost nothing teasable tomorrow.
