Our members would feel bad for Guy Ritchie if his movies weren't so terrible.

· Jenna had a bit of advice for those of you headed to Six Mile Creek winery:

OK, from a former Cornell sorority girl: Make SURE you try to get to these wineries in the Finger Lakes between June 1 and August 15. No later, and ESPECIALLY no earlier.

If there is something to celebrate at Cornell (which there always seems to be) the drunken college kids and Cornell Greeks will be taking wine tours around the Finger Lakes wineries, peeing in the lakes and, on special occasions, getting naked and running around.

· rdmcgeorge didn't think the hyperbole-loving backers of the Great Orlando Wheel needed to dumb it down:

HA! I like that they explained that it would be as wide as it is tall, you know, for those of us that don't understand circles.

· And egw kept her Tates straight when it came to a new exhibit:

Good thing he's not running in the Tate Modern: Less chance of stepping in last year's edgy exhibit, the giant crack in the floor.

Our members will shed a tear for Midwest Airlines if it goes under this weekend.

· djk doesn't approve of any sort of Paris Hilton-Charles Ogilvie partnership:

One of these things is not like the other... One has the clap and the other has luscious, unusually mobile eyebrows. DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.

· marnabelle told us that Tony Bourdain isn't the only one who flies Continental:

So does Meredith Vieira. She was on my Continental flight two weeks ago from Newark to Beijing, only she was in first class and I was in coach...

· And carr24 had a gripe about Megabus:

I had a terrible experience yesterday, as did about 300 other passengers, when every bus departing Chicago was between 1 and 3 hours late. When we called the Megabus number we were treated very rudely and couldn't get a straight answer as to why the buses were late, or when they would be arriving.

· Meanwhile egw wasn't shocked that a bar-going crocodile was quickly subdued:

Only in Australia would they know correctly how to deal with a croc.

Our members will catch up with you after The Love Guru tonight, k?

· DanielR would happily buy a washing machine from Tony Fernandes:

I'm in for two washing machines as long as they fly me to Singapore. Sweet deal, Tone-meister!

· Garry Denke kept us posted on the weather for tonight's summer solstice celebration at Stonehenge.

· And BS has another idea for the "Google Earth Gatecrashers":

Wonder if skateboarders will start doing the same thing when the pools are empty.

· Meanwhile egw may have already booked tickets for "Little Baghdad":

Huurde huurde huurde... I love the Swedish chef!

Our members love freaky animals:

· arill isn't looking forward to one after-flight shindig:

If American throws a party, you'll have to pay $15 for the first drink and $25 for every drink after that.

· juliana wasn't thrilled by Virgin Atlantic's announcement:

This is like the most anti-climatic announcement ever! I dont need another stinking credit card.

· And egw was pumped for NYC's waterfalls:

Jaunted meetup? Everybody bring a swimsuit and towel!

· Meanwhile amandak thought the new Olympic cheer wasn't half bad:

I guess an official cheer just had to be done ... I once taught a bunch of Chinese teenagers who had all these clapping games that ended up with the losers being violently slapped, so this cheer is suitably tame.

Excuse our members while they change out of their Transformers T-shirts:

· egw had some tips for guys chasing Sex and the City tourists:

These women are not low-hanging fruit. If you want to meet the ladies, don't board boorishly and act like an ass. Do your homework: Be familiar with the show and its characters, get off and look around at the stops and refrain from drooling. (Except over those cupcakes. Love 'em.)

· juliana loved this "racy" travel snapshot:

This wins travel snapshot of the year!

· And CaroPhila was a little disappointed by M.I.A.'s nuptials:

She's amazing. I was kinda hoping she'd get back together with Philly's own Diplo though.

· Meanwhile lilyc wasn't impressed by JetBlue's expanded WiFi:

I flew BetaBlue last week and the WiFi was down the whole time.

Our members would gladly marry M.I.A.:

· markj was sad to hear about the Silverjet shutdown:

Never had a chance to fly 'em, but maybe from the ashes will rise... SilverBus!

· JetSetCD loved one of our packing tips for the ladies:

Amen on the leggings! It just makes sense--especially if your travels involve large, urban environments where sudden subway gusts and trendy staircases always threaten to expose your... umm... passport.

· And egw doesn't get why everyone's suddenly miffed about baggage fees:

We don't need these fees to precipitate a carry-on baggage crisis. We're in that crisis. Flying Continental last weekend I saw no fewer than 20 people march to the back to look for overhead-bin space, get turned back by flight attendants and angrily deposit their stuff for a gate check.

· Meanwhile juliana was green with envy over some sexy suitcases:

People who work in "recession-proof industries" have nice luggage. I'm kinda jealous.

Our members cracked up at all the references in the new Weezer video:

· egw defended the much-maligned new Gridskipper against two rosé wine haters:

No one mocks rosé in the summer and gets away with it! A pox on both your houses!

· juliana had a surplus of sympathy for a former Skybus CEO:

Oh that's sad. I feel bad for The Diff!

· And EvanA agreed that surfing is a great reason to travel, even for beginners:

I think surfing is the best way to travel ... You get to see amazing beaches all over the world and hang with surfers (in general very cool group).

· Meanwhile DanielR didn't find airport wax jobs any more appealing than we did:

I can see someone getting an airport wax if they had last-minute-decided they wanted to become members of the mile high club.

Jaunted members won't look up your skirt in Venice, either:

· JetSetCD wouldn't mind a nine-hour bus ride if power plugs and WiFi were involved:

Whoa. I am there. I can easily zone out for eight or nine hours with access to Netflix instant viewing.

· rdmcgeorge had a theory on Eder Rojas:

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess there is a reason that he got the crappy assignment (idiocy?), and that that reason may be linked to the reason he thought lighting poo paper on fire was a swell idea.

· And amandak seconded an Australian shark attack survival tip:

The big news in Oz is definitely the poke in the eye trick because it's worked for a couple of people lately.

· Meanwhile paula berg, who works for Southwest Airlines, said our boarding pass drama isn't standard operating procedure:

Our new boarding system is definitely designed to be a first come, first serve system--with the exception, as you note, of those customers who purchase a Business Select fare. That said, I can't really explain why your boarding numbers were assigned as they were.
