Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Has anyone ever used Priceline's name your own air fare thing?

They were sort of huddled in the kitchen, trying to stay out of the way of the mad morning rush of getting Emmett out the door. They were muzzy and cute with their sticky-up hair, but their body language expressed pure gratitude on receiving the hot coffee.

I've done Priceline for a hotel on my Chicago trip and it worked very well.

I think I'm going to try priceline, if the prices keep going up it's going to be more affordable to take an extra day off work and drive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay! I just got final confirmation that I actually do have enough vacation time to take my Denver/Chicago/Ohio trip.

Who wants to come play?

One question about Priceline -- how cheap can you go on naming your own price. I'm not going to be stupid about it, but I would like to get a ticket as cheap as I can.

If your bid is too cheap, they'll let you know. I would definitely lowball the first bid, then move it to something more reasonable if it squawks.
