Well another bastion of web-free space bites the dust.
American Airlines now offers inflight broadband on certain flights.
On right now: seems to work pretty well.
Now I can never be away from talkbass. 
I can only pray they don't offer cell service. I can only 6 hours of blather.

Carry on!!

|  | The Lowdown Diggler | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Huntington Beach, CA | | The mile high club is overrated. Have you actually tried to hook up with a chick in those bathrooms? Talk about cramped. Plus you're banging around, making a lot of noise, then there's a line of people waiting outside, and if you got in after a long line of people then, then you can be guaranteed there are little yellow dribbles on the floor from some dude trying to pee during turbulence. Ugh. I've done it a few times and now I'm over it. I don't like loving under than kind of pressure, unless we're talking about the mile-high blumpkin.
Wait, what were we talking about?

I can never be angry at Playboy. They've given me so much over the years.  |

It's kind of a fine ballet trying to coordinate your ebb and flow if it were. You don't want your "ebb" to cause "flow" to accidentally [shudder] brush against the cold dirty plastic of the inside of that toilet bowl. That's one of those feelings that just comes automatically with it's own built in fail trumpet. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
