Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

But Virgin has TV and absinthe.

JetBlue has TV! And likes carrots. I've been flying JetBlue a lot in my New Orleans travels.

Hey, there is no Trader Joe's in New Orleans! Hold me?

I have no pity for you in your soon-to-be-TJ's-less state. I bet they don't have an IKEA either.

No, but there's one in Austin!

There are both TJs and Ikea in Atlanta, which is a mere 7.5 hours from NO - closer than Austin! (And when you are driving down, do consider stopping the night with us - you would be welcome!)

Does Spirit Airlines have some secret plan to keep people from ever flying them again? On top of the carryon fees, they're now bringing on planes with seats that don't recline.

Hey women-folk these earthquakes lately are your fault. Okay, well only if you dress inappropriately.

Promiscuous women cause earthquakes, Iran cleric says

Don't let the headline fool you, you don't have to me promiscuous yourself, only dress in a manner that promotes it.

The prayer leader, Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi, says women and girls who "don't dress appropriately" spread "promiscuity in society."

"When promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase," he says in a video posted Monday on YouTube, apparently of him leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran, last week.

I expect them to announce they will remove lavatories next.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, that was really weird. My landline phone just rang. I really never use it for anything, and most calls to it are either wrong numbers or people selling stuff. So I answered, and a woman asked, "Is this ExtremelyCommonFirstName?" I said, "I'm sorry, you have the wrong number." She said, "Well, do you know ExtremelyCommonFirstName?" I said, "I know of lot of people named ECFN, which one are you looking for?" She said, I'm looking for ECFN (stumbling really bad pronunciation of my last name.)" I said, "Well, that's my sister, but she's never lived at this number. Can I ask what this is in reference to?" She said, "This is a personal matter. Can you give me a number where I can reach her?" I said, "I'm not really comfortable giving out her number to someone I don't know who won't tell me what it's about." She said, "OK, thank you," and hung up.
