last-minute tickets

Suppose I want to fly somewhere on Monday. Can anyone recommend a web site for last-minute ticket deals?

Location aside, they have ribeye for dinner. They could probably get one out for your breakfast. If you're nice.
I neglected to do that with my pets last night. Maybe I will go there for dinner. I don't think I've had ribeye since I moved here.

Too much work? Does NY Strip give you TMJ as well? To recap: Strip and prime rib are both out on account of jaw pain.

Fat's what makes it taste good, which is the problem with filet. Agreed, it's tender like a ribeye, but without the flavor or either a ribeye or a strip. You may not want it with sauce, but you might as well eat a portobello at that point.

Not very hot.
Hmm. That sounds very, um, acrobatic!

On your next romantic night out with Sebby, you can split a porterhouse. You'll both be happy. Just don't expect him to go down on you.

No, no, fringey...

The WB (I'm practicing to be a swinger) must take its name from the position you would be in while doing a wheelbarrow race in elementary school. No, wait. I think that was the "crab race" -- ok, I think the namers used the wrong elementary-school race as their inspiration.

Things that suck

I just noticed the thead title, and am reminded of a horrible event that happened to me. I typically try to avoid shit posts out of deference to the weaker stomached posters, but I recently had the worst shit of my life, and it was definitely a Thing That Sucked. I will provide space for those who do not wish to read about it so they can scroll by or put me on ignore.

It started promisingly enough. I found a good stall, with no one on either side and a current sports page. I grabbed the paper, settled on my throne, and started the business at hand. I leaned forward while turning the page, and this activated the automatic flusher. While I still find this disconcerting, I have gotten somewhat used to this happening and didn't think much of it.

Then, gradually, my balls started feeling a little cool . . . a little wet . . . higher and higher and . . . HOLY SHIT! The toilet was overflowing! I jumped up, shocked and disgusted, still confused and amazed at what was going on. I struggled to keep my pants and shoes out of the overflowing foul water. Mortified, I struggled with the tp as I contemplated how to clean myself. Could it get any worse?

Yes. A maintenance guy walked up to the stall, and said, "Oh, man, you didn't flush that, did you?" I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe he was talking to me while I tried to fix myself in the stall. Nobody had ever talked to me while I was in a stall.

And what a stupid question. "It flushed itself." He just muttered, "Oh, no. Oh, no. It was broken." I couldn't believe I had to have a conversation with someone who soon would be cleaning up my waste, and I grew infuriated.

"Why didn't you put up a fucking Out of Order sign?"

"We don't have a sign."

"Well, why don't you fucking make one?"

I finished drying my balls, feeling sick in my stomach. I stormed out of the hall as quickly as I could, trying to have as little face-to-face time as I could with the maintenance guy, who was still muttering, "Oh, no. Oh, no." I couldn't get too far, though, because, fuck, I had to wash my hands.

Shaken and completely traumatized, I made up some excuse about feeling nauseous and went home to shower, feeling dirtier than Charles when he lost his virginity. I should sue.

Depends on where you're going. Southwest has "Ding" specials that are usually last minute, but also usually mid-week. Sometimes weekend specials.

Alaskaair.com has web specials that are also pretty last minute.
Again, depends on where you're going.

I was told that Priceline lets you pick your flight and whether you want non-stop or not, but I've never used Priceline. Orbitz or Expedia sometimes have some last minute deals. But not often.

Nobody in their right mind is going to name a sexual position after a "crab race". I'm just sayin. . .

I agree with you. But the wheelbarrow race position is what raouaouoauaoal called a reverse wheelbarrow. I'm sure everyone will agree I am mainly correct when I say he's full of crap on this.

I am. A quick scan of a sex position website has informed me that what I had considered the wheebarrow is NOT the wheelbarrow.

And I still can't figure out what the face to face position I descirbed earlier is called...

My sister sued for something like this. She was kicked out on a motion to dismiss. "The court finds claimant's delivering of a 'blumpie' was not a reasonably foreseeable activity in the area of a Flushmaster 1900."

Quest

best olives for a martini, for someone who likes olive-laden martinis. This is for a gift. The person prefers their martinis made with vodka, not gin. Yes, I realize this is a travesty to many. However, as this is a gift to a person sorely in need of an alcoholic gift, I feel it is not the time to try to show him the error of his ways. No, I am not going to switch the gift to scotch to avoid the issue.
