Rome

Doug Taylor · March 31st, 2008, 19:17

Tailgater! Actually, this is from my MAD trip earlier this month:

The Pantheon in the...
Day:

Night:

"The Skulls!" Run! Run! Look out for the illuminati and the Counsel on Foreign Relations! Yeeeeaeargh!

Mmm, beer and pizza break during the walk-a-thon.

Lots o people

Iced, sweet crack. Watermelon and lemon gelato. Yay e yay EEEE:

This is NOT a separate urinal and pooper, fellow Americans:

The Spanish steps, walking back to the hotel:

The Colosseum:

Yes, that's an M-16 with laser-sight at the airport. The Romans don't mess around after the 1985 terrorist attack.

The Italians always take care of the captain:

Pics coming from Amsterdam tomorrow. My first trip to Holland, yay!

Nice pics, Doug!

Which flight are you doing--DAL38, DAL80?

Doug Taylor · March 31st, 2008, 19:27

80 tomorrow. I did 149 today!

Very strange flight today. I got up from my break and when I pulled the curtain back, there was a lady sitting on another ladies lap smooching. Kind of bizarre, ya know?

Qgar · March 31st, 2008, 19:30

EGADS!!!

coa787 · March 31st, 2008, 19:31

That was DURING the flight?! Very strange, indeed.

LoadMasterC141 · March 31st, 2008, 19:32

Hot chicks or butch?

Nice Pix. I miss Peroni.

I didn't gawk. Actually more concerned about trying to reboot my brain as we were about 30 mins out, I slept like a baby and I'm usually extraordinarily "dopey" after a nap.

"Aroo?! Is that us? What's our flight number? F N A it's bright! Was that for us? What did he say? ArroOOooOO!!?"

I'm surprised that took all of 3 posts and 5 minutes!

I've seen my share of "female affection" on my flights. For some reason, PIT seems to be the winner when it comes to this. Something in the water perhaps? BTW, these girls are probably big Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Need I say more?

"Nice shoes! Those look, uhh, 'comfy' Shelby!"

JA Yawd Bwoy · March 31st, 2008, 19:39

I'm sure he's in JFK right now. He goes JFK-AMS tomorrow--DAL80.

Doug Taylor · March 31st, 2008, 19:42

Nope, I'm at the Legendary, World's Famous "Sunrise Resort and (no)Casino" in Beautiful Long Island, between trips.

"L.I. Finest Hotel" says it all.

Did you have to use my name, Doug? Ever since Saturday Night Live, I've hated my nickname. That's why I went back to using my full name!

Doug Taylor · March 31st, 2008, 19:43

Ooh! Sorry! Lemme amend that... just a sec...

Well, I was close enough.

Thanks, dear!!!

Doug Taylor · March 31st, 2008, 19:46

ain't no thang but a chicken wing.

E_Dawg · March 31st, 2008, 20:47

Amsterdam rocks!

Rome has a lot of history, but jeeze they need to clean it up a bit. Graffiti and trash go a long way toward spoiling the historic beauty.

SteveC · March 31st, 2008, 21:27

Rome has some sights that must be seen, but central and northern Italy are really where it's at for me.

AP2B · March 31st, 2008, 21:45

Great pics! I need to make it to Rome someday, I visited Tuscany on the Med. near Pisa. Soooo many places to go see... I don't think I ever drank a beer in Italy, the vino never stopped pouring though. I haven't drank wine like that since.

777forever · March 31st, 2008, 22:28

After visiting St. Maarten I got one thing to say: The Dutch Rock!
