I am going to miss Mountain Dew though - my drink of choice when I need some caffeine. I'll often down one of those guys at 730a when I need to be into work early.

My aide comes into the office with Mountain Dew, and she's 12 years older than I.

I was a big Upper 10 drinker when I was little.

Coke and Woodford on the rocks, with a dash of sprite, a slice of orange and a cherry, and a little umbrella.

Still, I don't know if you can sully a Woodford by adding that extra stuff.

Woodford on the rocks or straight - the only ways I'll drink it.

That's the claim that comes on the propaganda sheets in the box.

Woodford neat for me. And I'm continuing my education campaign with FAs ("what does neat mean?").

I'm thinking of experimenting with the bacon-infused old-fashioned. This would require me purchasing:

A. bacon
B. another brand of bourbon

Woodford and Nutella, put it in the microwave for 35 seconds to melt the nutella, then stir and add a splash of Cholula, it's the drink of choice here in the Lounge™. It's especially nice to dunk your biscoffs in it.

Forgive me Lounge™ for saying this, but I have never had Biscoffs. Hundreds of Delta flights, and I've never had one...

Delta @ Oshkosh



Spotted this lonely set of air stairs looking for work a couple times at the air show today. It appeared to get really excited and waited expectantly when they were towing the C-5 info position in Aeroshell Square, but alas a military transport large enough that a semi can drive in one end & out the other has no need for airstairs.

I caught up with the unrequited air stairs about 90 minutes later where it was positioned to offer people a lovely view of the tops of a double row of porta-potties.

Sprite with a dash of Coke (or Dr. Pepper) is one way to generate restaurant-made ginger ale.

See, besides being a wonderful drink, it has the added benefit of helping you lose weight.

I'm actually embarrassed to admit that.

I have a sinking feeling that someone from DL/NW is reading this right now, has pulled up my address from my SkyMiles account, is going to the catering area at MSP right now, filling a truck full of biscoffs and dumping them in front of my apartment door overnight tonight while I sleep.

Then I guess I'd have to eat my way out of my apartment.

I don't want to tear up the lining of my esophagus to lose weight - that's a different eating disorder.

mersk862, you claim to be a DL PM, CRC, you claim to be a normal Lounge denizen, yet a biscoff has never passed your lips. AND your profile shows you're from MSP.

SPY!!!!!

Imposter!!!!!!
