I'm surfing the Net while flying somewhere over New Mexico toward LAX. 2110kbs download / 173kb upload on speakeasy speed test.

Some 10 years or so ago, I was that geek on the plane that had the laptop playing a DVD, thinking it'll never get cooler than that. Of course, the battery could only last through about 45 minutes...

American. $13.12 w/tax for one flight, btw. For a 3 hour non-stop this is reasonable.

This, would seem to be appropriate.

Nice. That would make international flight in coach bearable. I take it they have an outlet to keep it charged?

Can you join the mile high club solo? I'm asking on behalf of a friend, of course.

I have a friend who did that. We call it the half-mile high club.

ybbodeus · « **Reply #7 on:** August 20, 2009, 09:55:44 am »

Wondered if that might be the term. Of course, I would never want to join a club that would have someone like me as a member. {huh-huh--he said "member"}

Maybe he's using an iPhone. There's a fap-fap-fap for that.

If you have sex in Denver, that counts, right?

DC outlet, yes

Never thought of it as a land-based organization, but, figuratively, yes, you'd be in like Flint (the dude, not the town). You could do it in Albuquerque, too, but you'd be in Albuquerque.

Now, you'll find yourself in far greater standing with said club were your transaction to take place in La Paz, Bolivia (nearly 12,000 ft high). For that matter you could become the club's land-based president, were you to do the nasty in Wenzhuan, China/Tibet, which is situated at more than 16,700 ft.

Probably cheaper, though, just to corner yo'sef a ready, Betty flight attendant on SWA. I haven't flown ol' Herb's airline in quite some time, but I would have to imagine that they've toned it down a bit from the 80's, no? God, the good ol' days of SWA flights before 7 pm. <sigh>

To clarify, this was in response to the power question. I did not join the mile high club with the DC outlet.

In what club would I be if I did it with Sherry, the UT sophomore on spring break, on the 30-yard line at Rice Stadium? Theoretically.

Let's just say that Ready Betty is still working the 4:45 to OKC.

I have a friend who did that. We call it the half-mile high club.

Had a friend in jr. high who was determined to achieve this feat in the dressing room of every clothing store in every mall/strip center in the Greater Beaumont Metropolitan Area. He did, too - we took his word for it.

We called it his Mall of the Americas Tour.

If I recall correctly, Beaumont's mall had two Dillard's (Dilyard's, as they say in New Orleans) -- a men's Dillards and a women's Dillard's. If he "succeeded" in both stores, that was a feat, above and beyond (or below and beside, I don't know).

Was there a Wiener's in Beaumont?

The really sick part was that this was before he could drive, so he'd get his mom to take him around. "Hey, mom. Next time you're going shopping, let me know. I want to go with you."

Sick.

After all the work and effort were done, what was his next goal?
