just realized that it's about a 13 hour flight from dfw. you can get coach roundtrips in april for 50k which is just insane but it's coach. fyi this would be no problem for me as i could probably sit in the same place for a whole day, but i probably wouldn't go solo. 13 in coach is probably too much for most humans right? first class on way there and coach on way back? that'd make sense but i've read books on memories and stuff and people place way too much importance on the end something, so maybe we should do coach on the way and then first class on the way back so that when we look back on the trip in five years we have more fond memories of it? this is getting confusing guys. idk. call it off?

[michigancat]

I'm pretty sure that flight in coach won't kill you. Seems like you're pussing out and trying to rationalize it or something.

[chum1]

I knew he wouldn't really do it.

[steve dave]

but on the way home you are coming back to the everyday anyway.  may as well do it.  on the way there it is party time and you will take advantage of the free booze and junk more readily.  I say 1st there coach back.

see...that's what you think but if you read the award winning book "stumbling on happiness" by daniel gilbert then you would realize that human's best gift is the ability to imagine the future but they are actually very poor at it and tend to make mistakes which leave their "future selves" unhappy with their previous versions. current sd likes the idea of coach then first but five years from now sd will not. confusing, no?

also, i wasn't being coy in the post about not caring about the flight. honest to god i could ride in the trunk of a car for 13 hours and not care. i just don't. thinking about wife though and it maybe has not been brung up to her yet. you think she'd let me got to tokyo with chings and pete if i let her go to paris with her mom or something?

[steve dave]

 the most important decider is going to be what direction you are going.  going east you are overnight and will either need a lie flat to sleep or can sleep fine sitting up and the luxury would be wasted.  Going west you will be daylight the entire way and will need more entertainment but land tired as hell.  laying flat may help you sleep during your natural hours and arrive more rested.  

[kim carnes]

go to Hong Kong, it is much better than Tokyo.

[steve dave]

Rick, you are going to have to take a lot of pics.  Think about investing in some serious camera hardware.

what if i just get one of those mask things to cover my eyes and trick my brain into thinking it's dark? also, will i be able to bbs on this plane? books on tape? top 6 leonardo dicaprio movies? really at a loss with what to do for 13 hours? see if there is an ANA flight out of dfw and try to bone one of the stewardesses? starting to wonder if this can really be done.

you're a rough ridin' pussy.  get a can of orange spray paint and a case of busch light.  after the wife leaves for work in the morning spray paint "i'm a giant pussy" on your garage door.  then sit in your basement and drink your case of beer by yourself.  after it's gone, sit on a 5 gallon bucket and stare at the concrete foundation wall until your wife gets home.  let her punish you.  then go to bed.

i don't like orange. i do like busch light. my wife does not work. i am a pussy and i do have a garage. i do sometimes drink beer by myself. i do not have a 5 gallon bucket. i do have a basement that is half finished with visible concrete in the unfinished part. i do go to bed. 6 out of 9, really pretty amazing.
