    bear,
    bear, I reckon, if memory serves, you were in on the chat where we started talking about fishnets and garter belts, and how iknowUrider thought them sexy... she has told me, a while back, her place with her husband; they call it the 'love shack' a bit of an inside joke there. peace.

    and then
    the airlines usually respond and give 'something' even to semi-legit complaints like that one with the phone being dis-connected. there is a lot of competition in the air these days. and there are other choices. we do fly A LOT, so they also tend to 'respond' to steady custom, especially when worded so sweetly lke in my letter. ( -; and then there was the time I bitched, nicely in a letter, to NW about the fact there was no pillows, and got 10,500 miles, the time a reservation agent laughed at me, (well, she chuckled...) and I got 10,000 miles... I was pointing out a problem with a reservation. in a totally serious tone of voice, and she just chuckled. 'you think I'm funny? what am I? a clown? here to amuse you??!!' Pesci in Goodfellas I AM one of those guys who just tries to ek out as many miles as possible at every occassion. I even take convuluted, extremely time consuming routes because it adds up to more miles at the same fare. peace.

    squeeky wheel
    I grew up in the back room of a saloon, learning that 'the customer was ALWAYS right' this is a case of how I got 5,000 bonus miles just for sending an email to explain what happened when I was trying to buy a tix online... being the squeeky wheel, so to speak. I refrained from using cuss words, and had my old lady edit up my shakey grammer and spelling... ( -; Message: To Thai Air: I would like to explain what happened when I spoke with reservation agents on the telephone yesterday. Online, I was trying to book an e-ticket, and I had an e-cert certificate that I was trying to use. I was unsure of the procedure, and called to inquire about it. I had searched for a flight and a price, but even after I had put in my e-cert number, and even after an E-Coupon icon appeared, the price remained the same. I did not want to click Purchase this Ticket before I saw the changed fare. I asked why the price had not been discounted. She asked if the ticket price was over 100 US$, and yes it is because this is a long flight. I was placed on hold (there is a timer on my cordless phone, so I am quite sure about the times) for 8 minutes. When the reservation agent returned, she told me she did not know, and I should use the information portion of the website to ask my question. I told her I wanted to book the ticket as soon as possible to get the best fare, because sometimes discount fares become sold-out, or lower priced seats suddenly become sold out. She told me she could not answer any more questions and my only option was to use the site. I tried to read through the FAQs, and so on, but could not get an answer to my question. I wanted to book the ticket before any discount fares were suddenly sold out. I called Thai air's ticket line again. I explained again. This time, the reservation operator asked for my schedule and flight numbers, etc. I was placed on hold for 9 minutes, when suddenly the phone line went dead. I immediately called back but getting a different person on the line, I asked to speak with the person I had just spoken to. I told her this was a flight ticket, and again gave all of the flight numbers. I was agian placed on hold, and after 13 minutes the phone line went dead again. I called again, and again, I told her how I had been on hold before and cut off twice, this time, she had the common sense to ask my telephone number in case we were cut off again. But, I had to explain everything again, and I finally learned that I am unable to use the e-coupon. I clicked on purchase this ticket, but the session had timed out, and I had to go back and re-enter all of the information again. Needless to say, it was a very long and frustrating experience trying to book this ticket, a major bummer, and a total buzz negator. Is there a problem with the phone lines? Essentially, it took me more than 90 minutes to finally book my ticket. The time to call, the time to explain, the time to wait on hold, and the time to enter all of my information again. It was all rather vexing. Sincerely, CC Joe Dear Mr. CC Sawat Di Ka. Thank you for contacting nwa.com Customer Service regarding the difficulty you had booking a reservation online with an e-certificate. We appreciate the time you took to write and tell us about your experience. On be half of Thai Air I apologize for the amount of time it took to get an answer to your question from our agents. I can understand how frustrating it would be to desire assistance and each time be disconnected. As our customer, you are in the best position to point out areas that need attention. Our goal is to provide consistent and accurate information to our passengers at all times. I am sorry that in this instance you did not receive the service you expected and should have received when you called the Customer Service to inquire about the use of the e-certificate. Feedback like yours will help us improve our process and overall customer experience. Please know I will be sharing your comments with the responsible leadership team for internal follow up. Please know we greatly appreciate your business as a Platinum Royal Thai Air Silk member. As a tangible expression of our appreciation and as an apology for the poor service you received I have added 5,000 Bonus Miles to your account. Please allow 2-3 business days to see these bonus miles added to your account. Again thank you for taking the time to write us about your experience and I am confident given the opportunity to serve you in the future, Thai Air will not only meet but exceed your expectations.

thanks deadicated!! in a private message deadicated suggested "The Scratch" I dig that name! thankx! I got plenty of calls coming up to see if this will really happen and where. might be La La Land or Las Vegas which will be a minefield of licenses and red tape but would be cool. might just be a parlour inside a casino, working that angle, too; then the gambling licenses will be there already. got some contacts out that way, and a few people who owe me favors. depends on if/how I'll put it together, and how much cash the people actually throw my way. I got a 'mass market' idear in mind, but that would definately get me some boos and hisses from this crowd. though the franchise rights alone would make a fortune if it got off the ground. '( -; $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$  ( either LA or Vegas will be mass market type joints no matter what, this is, after all a 'business' I'd rather make it a snmokey dark place for real players, but those join\ts dont make too much money, but I'm getting too old to keep being a road player. don't know if I'm ready to 'settle down' just yet, and if I can get it up and running, might not really want to 'work' there... oh the trials and tribulations.

The Rack Shack? Or maybe, if you also wanted to also do food and hire statuesque waitresses you could call it The Barbie Cue Pit. Or maybe just stick with Joe's. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Or maybe, if you also wanted to also do food and hire statuesque waitresses you could call it The Barbie Cue Pit. thanks, man, these are also really good! in Vegas, the Rack Shack would go over well, for those that remember the Rat Pack... I also really dig the Barbie Cue Pit, that is grate. thanks for the suggestions. you know, I was actually looking to put in a secret dead 'homage' or a secret dead reference in the name, which is why I asked here. but, all ideas are most gratefully appreciated and I thank you. peace.

"Slipknot" is a mystery featuring County Sheriff Gavin Pruitt, Deadhead. Set the year before Jerry Garcia's death, "Slipknot" takes place in picturesque rural Washington, and revolves around the murder of a politically prominent environmentalist - who was going to decide whether a local forest is logged or not. The future of the local logging industry is dependent upon the decision - but so are the lives of the wildlife within the forest. Gavin must figure out who the killer is, all the while quoting classic Grateful Dead songs, taking up jamming sessions, and dealing with his daughter's new "hippie" boyfriend.

well, I haven't been to that part of the world for decades so I'm sure it's changed a bit, but do the Waterford factory tour for molten glass etc. at its finest. I was sad to discover that circa 1978 at least the prices in their gift shop were no bargain, but these days who knows. As I recall Cork itself has some very nice architecture and a pretty good culture scene. And of course take the train to Dublin, which is a stunningly good music town unless something has changed radically.

more good idears there, thanks. for a dyslexic like me, I got no problem with reading backwards. I am just feeling a little backwards these daze... still in conversation with the backers. didn't really like hearing the 70 - 30 split (their way) but might go with it anyways... ok, how about 'Nice Rack' about 10 pool tables. food available, of course booze, and legal betting! lots of large breasted model types (a strict no silicone policy) in skimpy outfits to be the waitresses / rack girls... slit skirts, garter belts... fishnets. cage dancers like the old go go days. you get the picture. figure if I can get Paul Newman or Tommy Cruise to make another Hustler movie, to add to the general 'marketing' will make it a lock. ok, please proceed with the boos and hisses and damn joe, what a sexist pig you are!

can anybody spell federal indictment for income tax evasion backwards?? might as well call the place 'Skim City' or 'The Laundry' sheesh. some folks think I was born yesterday. no fall guy, I. not a patsy either. the deal is dead in the water. could have worked, but the risks of doing serious federal time were too great given the 'set up' so to speak.

thanks iknowurider... the thing is, getting in deep with certain organized crime types is a recipe for personal disaster. it is one thing to have bets laid, and to have people stake you for a few pool games, but another to sign papers and be the guy who would take the fall if shit turned sour... guess who would have done the time for some other fucker's crime?? the deadnet grand opening may very well have been at Nellis rather than in Vegas. what chick wouldn't dig a nice rack?? those who think that more than a mouthful is a waste.

As promised to folks in the chat room Years ago (1981 or 82) I worked from time to time as stage crew at the old Hammersmith Odeon theatre in London and was called up one day to unload trucks for a gig by Rick Wakeman, rather a fading star at that time, what with punk and new wave taking over. Rick’s stage set up, as well as the usual banks of keyboards, included a thick pile white carpet covering the entire vast stage. It was a nightmare to unload and lay all this in time for the show, but when the time came for Rick to appear on stage no-one could find him. The tour manager was running around shouting and as half an hour passed the crowd was becoming restless. Finally after about 40 minutes Rick was located in the pub across Hammersmith Broadway in a very well lubricated state and was dragged by his tour manager back to the Odeon to perform. As he lurched into the wings the superstar declared that he was not prepared to go on stage because his white carpet was dirty. One of the theatre staff was sent on a desperate search and returned with an old fashioned upright vacuum cleaner..a real museum piece. This was shoved into my hands by the tour manager and I was ordered to vacuum the carpet. Meanwhile things were getting quite ugly out front, and as I hesitated the tour manager said “there’s an extra tenner in it for you”. I was really broke at the time so off I went, pushing the ancient machine back and forth across acres of white carpet while the angry crowd stared, laughed, shouted, booed and subjected me to a torrent of abuse. Meanwhile in the wings the tour manager was frantically giving me hand signals, pointing out bits I had missed, until at last Mr Wakeman finally declared himself satisfied and I was able to retreat, my humiliation completed by a sarcastic round of applause. I collected my ten pounds and went straight over to the pub Rick had just left to drown my sorrows. This incident deeply scarred me and gave me a lifelong psychological aversion to vacuuming, but Mrs Badger will not accept that as an excuse!!!!

I love his 7 words act. ive considered playing it during my radio show, but put it out of mind. Life on the road would be tough I imagine. He died of heart failure. I imagine his heart wasnt helped by lots of eating fast food on the road or late nights in comedy clubs.on a better note, ive found a great new hangout. lots of deadhead stuff and GD stuff. LOTS of dead head Brown U college students. great place called the kind connection oon thayer street in providence. managed to restock my incense after my dad confiscated my old stuff. also, does anyone know if regular cell phones work in europe?

In answer to your question about cell phones in Europe. It depends on whether you have a dual band or tri band phone. A tri band will work here, but a U.S. dual band will probably not. Your network, most likely will not work though. IF your phone works, could always buy a pre-paid sim card in Ireland. If have other questions on this, just ask-know quite some about traveling w/cell phones! :-)********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

Funny story. Sounds like Wakeman was a little overblown with self importance, something I always felt when I heard his music. I lean more towards McCoy Tyner when it comes to amazing keyboards. He doesn't need all that stuff to cart around. Next time you vacuum let us know and we can pour on the abuse to make you feel at home if you wish.

I was sitting around in deep contemplation, in the haze of cheap red wine... going back to the hippies, yippies, and up to the generation X type drop-outs, burn-outs and so on and so forth. kids with dreads hanging and posing... that type. it always seemed to me, that a lot (not all) a lot of those folks were running 'from' something. and it always was that deadheads were always running 'to' something.

this is a bit off topic, but is there anyone with a bit of knowledge about tattoos and legal ages? i looked it up all i could, but all i could find out that the legal age to get one is 16 in ireland. I am getting one while im in dublin (my first) and have heard that you have to be a citizen. anyone know if thats true? I am only sixteen and have wanted the same design for three years, so my only choice is to get one in ireland.Peace, The Kid

kid, whatever tat you decide to get BE SURE you want it forever. ok, you had an idea for 3 years... but really, think long and hard on it. especially if it is your first. and, also, check out the artist very carefully! try to see samples in person of his/her work, not just photos. clean / sterile needles, like in a package, not just washed off, will be used. I dopn't know about the local laws over there. if you look over 16, they may not even ask for id or proof of citizenship. or if you are willing to lay more bread on the artist, that might bend some rules. what you do not want, is some piece of shit crappy looking tat. take your time there, kid. you got a lifetime to wear it. just my 2 shillings. peace.
