Updates will be here as I get a chance (between making fun of Sean's accent and getting beaten up by Hadley)

Ok...

So United Air SUCKS. Two forks...they weigh less than 10 pounds combined...are $260 to put on the plane.

$260.

Less than 10 pounds.

"You're kidding me right? That cannot be correct..."

The UA rep is quick to help..."Sir, it's because of the length. If it wasn't as long, it wouldn't cost as much."

"M'am I can read. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Do y'all charge extremely overweight people more do you? What about extremely tall people? God forbid a freaking basketball team flies United."

Walking away almost $300 poorer, I managed to find the men's room to wash off the rage sweat. Exiting I hear a man telling Akbar at the newsstand (I checked his tag) how amazed he was the bathrooms here are called "Toilets." He was looking at the sign like it was the fakking Ark of the Covenant.

"Thanks man...I'm gonna check it out."

WTF'n F?

THAT is why I cut my fork down to where I grip it. :)  (That and why have un-needed weight to push and pull.)

Pop the tines of and put them in your box.  Buy a handle from the local HD or Lowes. They are the same across the country.  Saves at least $50 round trip every time.  or, $260 one way.   OuchOuch

Your math teacher must be so proud!

Why not just cut the handle down and make it removable.
lt'd be way cool and avoid those extra charges!  Cool

Wally, Wally, Wally. Your English teacher must be so proud. Haha

Duncan just told a story about paying $260 to check his forks . . .

I've found that checking my fork was usually $25 each way.

Kasson actually took second in Braemar. Wob was a 3 way tie for second with Ryan, Dunc, and myself.

But like Duncan said, most importantly....The team won.... Pew pew pew..
