    Fat Steven Spielberg's wife should have let him hit the button.

    There are good things and bad things about being married as well as being single - just like everything else in life. Just because you recall one of the good things about one of them doesn't mean you regret the other one. LOL. I have fond memories (and mammories) of my college days too, that doesn't mean I secretly long to go back Frank the Tank-style.

    The last 2 years have literally been the best 2 years of my life. Hell, if CSN and Dish would finally come to an agreement, my life would be damn near perfect right about now!

    Watching the second half of the Astros season would equate to (near) perfect? :p

    When I was a student in the US in 1995/1996, United had an offer for international tourists to buy a 1-month ticket at a ridiculously low flat rate (you had to buy it with your transatlantic ticket or something, the whole ticket was like 600 dollars or something, for the whole month). You could basically always fly standby whenever there was a free seat on the flight. Two friends of mine and I had such tickets. We would go to the airport in the morning and say "let's fly to San Francisco" and when it would turn out that there weren't enough free seats on the plane (back then, I didn't have the tools at my disposal to check beforehand like I do now), we would just change our minds and fly to Miami instead.

    Those were the days...

    Oh gotcha thanks. How come members refer to themselves as LDS instead of Mormon?

    It would depend on where I was going. Lets say I had tickets to visit my in-laws....

    Button pushed.

    I've lived in four different countries and eight different cities in the past 5 years, but I'm not so sure I would press the button.

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, aka the Mormons. :)


    Proper usage:
    - "I go to the LDS church"
    - "I am LDS"
    - "Steve Young is LDS? Awesome? Oh, so is the girl who wrote Twilight? Not quite as awesome. :("

    Seriously what real benefit is there to this? If you get lucky enough to have a nice destination youll have to fork out the money for a hotel and such correct? If you have the money and time to do the hotel thing then why don't you just buy a plane ticket to a adventurous place to begin with?

    Sounds more like a marketing ploy to me then an actual real-life push-the-button-to-see-what's-behind-door-#2 game.

    It gets people like you asking questions and then next thing you know, BAM, you're converted.

    The dude who got Laos was like "aww fuuuuuu..." LOLOL.

    I bet after the camera stopped rolling, he was like "nvmlulz" and just walks away since there isn't any contract that obligates them to take it.
