- If you have a requirement for you and your daughter to sit next to each other on a flight that is 100% sold out, please do the rest of us a favor and get to the gate early.
- I appreciated the extra 20 minutes at the gate as the flight attendants shuffled the rest of us around. Thanks.
- The correct time to realize that you forgot your bank card in the ATM at the airport is before you go through the security checkpoint, not after.
- If I’m trying to give you money so that I may rent an automobile from you, you surrender the right to be a raging asshat while you find me a car.
- Just for future reference, a Hyundai hatchback is not a ‘bigger’ car. It is only slightly less small.
- Just for future reference, your service sucked so hard that I was willing to take an hour out of a busy day to go back to the airport, turn in my rental car, and buy a multi-day ticket for public transportation. It’s more convenient than driving in Las Vegas, and that way I don’t give your company any money.
- I’m not going to name names here, but I wouldn’t rent a car from this company if you’re trying to stay on your vacation budget.
- Standing at the back of your shuttle bus and complaining that nobody will let you take their bags off the racks so that you can get a tip is counterproductive to the goal of getting tips.
- I have discovered the younger, thinner brother to the neckbeard – the Rasputin. This is a youngish guy with long, scraggly hair, a painfully thin physique, and a full beard that goes down to between the nipples and the belly button.
- Last weekend I was a gun geek. Last week I was a history and politics geek. This week I am a technology geek.
- I’m starting to see a pattern in my life.
- I now remember why it’s been 20 years since the last time I came to Las Vegas.
- Overall, the people I’ve interacted with are nice, but the Strip is a dirty, cheesy, unorganized mess.
- Difference between NRAAM and a densely packed technology conference: manners.
- I never considered punching anyone in Indianapolis in the back of the head for cutting in line to get a cup of coffee. Just saying.
- Shoutout to the guy who cut me off at the top of the escalator this morning: Sorry about that, dude. I hope they can get the coffee stain off of your nice white shirt. It was totally accidental. Seriously. Maybe next time you won’t elbow me in the ribs so that you can get two feet in front of me.
- I’m not saying that I threw the coffee at him, because I didn’t. I just didn’t work too hard to keep it from spilling as I got my balance back.
- I had an interesting talk at the monorail station this morning with a nice British family.
- I had to convince them that Las Vegas is not representative of most of the United States.
- My explanation was to take the most godforsaken former industrial wasteland in the UK, bulldoze it flat and pave it, then erect hotels and models of Big Ben and Stonehenge. Then have tourists come from all over the world and tell them that this is Great Britain.
- Note to tourists to Las Vegas from the British Isles and Scandinavia – sunblock is your friend. It hurts to look at most of you.
- The soles on Doc Martin boots do not grip too well on polished marble tiles. I might as well have been walking in my stocking feet at several points in the past couple of days.
