That new grill looks big enough to cook for all of us! When's the party?

No, that is the TSA's job. They took a bottle of cognac that we bought IN THE AIRPORT DUTY FREE SHOP and bullied me when I objected. They didn't even bother trying to hide their evil grins.

Newark airport - avoid it!

Sorry to all the Americans, but how did people let the TSA get so out of control? How is it that a government organization can be so autonomous and under no control by the American people?

I honestly mean no slight at all, I am genuinely curious.

So when you fear the TSA have the terrorists won?

(Maybe this goes in the Politics & Religion forum).

Oh yes.....even bin Laden has said/claimed that.

and yes this is definitely veering into the P&R area.

GeoffC · 04-04-2011, 12:48 PM

well let's veer quickly in the other direction.....

GeoffC · 04-04-2011, 12:49 PM

or alternatively back, tack, yaw or slide ....

kennyc · 04-04-2011, 12:52 PM

Just watch out for the wormholes!

Mortis · 04-04-2011, 01:22 PM

Forgive me for bringing that up, but really it was more rhetorical than you took it

Well it wasn't, but never mind

Grilled apples, yum, I have to try that.

Thanks for the pics of "Priscilla the grilla" and the "old one". I never even knew there were special lights for grills. Great idea for my son's birthday.

I did try grilling a Portobello Mushroom to make Portobello Mushroom Burgers.

I spent last night, and all of today up until 15 minutes ago, frantically searching for (and tearing my house apart in the process) a DVD that NEVER EXISTED. I've cried, yelled, beat myself up, and fought with Chris over not being able to find something that was never here in the first place.

I was trying to find a nonexistent restore disc for my ASUS T91MT, preparing to sell it. Thanks to Wodin in reply to my distress call (elsewhere in the Llounge), I finally thought to call ASUS support. I got an english-speaking human who, after taking my device's serial number, assured me that it didn't COME with a recovery disc, only a restore partition. After I beat my head against the nearest wall and cry some more, I now have to start cleaning up what I trashed, looking for something that wasn't here.
