Excel...is that the name of the carrier?

I prefer to fly PowerPoint or Word Airlines.

Let me know when the live internet feed from the airport comes on. I want to find out the stunning conclusion of whether News Guy will continue hitting on NPR Girl even though his wife may be watching everything from home, and whether the pizza arrives before the perp walk.

As an Excel user extrordinaire I had to try this.

when I clicked on the chart wizard the dialogue box came up is all. Up until that point everything worked.

I have Windows 2000 and does Excel have to be Excel 97?

Libs WANT us to get hit so they can try to pin it on GWB.
They are traitors.

I still can't help but think if all this point towards tension building up to August 22nd. It almost seems as though paranoia is trying to create a self fullfilling prophecy.

At the same time I wonder if some terror cells are scrambling to make something happen for the same reason.

At any rate everyone just remain watchful and vigilant.

Did you know that the planned sequel to Snakes on a Plane is going to be called "Fluffy Bunny in a Porta Potty"?

**************

If something does happen, we'll all look back and say we knew somthing was up, citing all of these recent events. If it doesn't, everyone will put it down to paranoia.

The fact remains, however that a major plot was nipped in the bud just days ago. I'd be jumpy, too if I were flying now.

As well you should be. I have made a point to always pay close attention to what is going on around me ever since 9-11. And if people were not doing so that London plot may not have been disrupted and we would be talking about all the planes that went down two days ago.

A little paranoia is a good thing in these times. It's only when the paranoia becomes debilitating that we would be feeding directly into the terrorist's hands.
