I'm telling you, this is a farging sign of things to come.  It's snowing in hell, thus the Eagles are going to win the SB next year. 

See Kevin Curtis will lead us to the SB with a HOF year, it's all clear now.

White Lightening...White Snow??? Peace in Hell? Coincidence>?

"This is so unusual, and I don't know whether or not it's a lesson from God," Karim said.

Yes.  It's a sign from God that you should kill yourself, Karim.  Now strap that C-4 on and get cracking...

I think he's already at the back of the line.

Meant to bitch about this last weekend but got side tracked.....

So this passed Sat I took my mom and kids to the airport to send them back to their respective homes.  I pulled up to the skycap so that we could get their bags checked and I noticed a sign that said it was a $2.00 fee per bag to check it with the skycap.  So I looked at the guy standing there and I asked if they were serious and he said "Yeah, it costs 2 bucks a bag plus tip."

First off, I'm all about tipping the skycap.  I typically give them a buck a bag.  But the way this douchebag said it, as if a tip is required, pissed me off even more.  So I threw the suitcases back in my car, went and parked and had my kids drag them through the airport for free.   

But the point is that as I was leaving the airport I noticed the signs at the skycaps for each different airline "$2.00 per bag."  Farging greedy ass airlines.  

Are they doing that everywhere now or is it just KC?  My mom said when she flew out to KC to visit, they didn't charge her for skycap services in B-more.

Last time I flew out of BWI (early November) they didn't charge for bags.  Nor did they charge in Austin come to think of it.

I haven't noticed.  I last flew in November, though, so maybe things have changed.

Coming attractions: The Hooters return with less hooting

By Brian Mansfield, Robert Bianco and Jocelyn McClurg, USA TODAY
Music

Fourteen years have passed since The Hooters last released an album of new material. But Eric Bazilian, co-lead singer of the Philadelphia-based band, says Time Stand Still should strike a familiar chord with listeners who remember the folk-influenced rock of the band's mid-'80s hits And We Danced and Day by Day.

"This certainly is an evolution, but it's not what you would call a radical departure," he says. "We know what our wheelhouse is."

The album, out Feb. 5, features nine new originals, a hidden track about the band's formative days and a cover of Don Henley's Boys of Summer.

One thing that has changed: The Hooters use the instrument that gave the band its name — the melodica, or "hooter" — a little less these days.

"We pull it out every once in a while," Bazilian says, "but there are a lot of instruments that do what the melodica does that aren't quite as limited or out of tune. So where the melodica might have done something before, there's an accordion to play that, or a vintage organ."
