This contest is now closed.  The winner is revealed in the final comment below.  Thank you for visiting my blog!

 

If you have read my recent adventures on EBay, you know that I have an extra Nook Color and I’ve promised to give it away!  I have to admit I’ve never used a Nook, but I’ve been impressed with its great reviews.  Even more, I really like it’s unique design.  There’s just something about that little corner cutout that makes it super appealing! 

The Contest

For a chance to win this Nook, all you have to do is add a comment to the bottom of this blog post.  Don’t add just any comment, though.  Let’s have fun with this!  Let’s write a story together.  Each person can write one sentence at a time to contribute to the story.  The story can be about anything.  You can write truth or fiction.  It can be exciting, funny, sad, or uplifting.  It can be about travel, miles, and points, but it doesn’t have to be.  It can be almost anything.

Double Dip, Triple Dip, Quadruple Dip, etc.

You can enter this contest as many times as you like!  Each new story sentence you add below counts as another entry into the contest.  There is one BIG RULE about this: you may not enter twice in a row!  What I mean is that before you can add another sentence to the story, you must wait for another reader to add their sentence.  Each of your entries must have at least one contribution from another reader between them. 

Valentine’s Day Deadline

I will keep this contest open for new entries until noon EST on Valentine’s Day (Feb 14th 2012).  At that point I’ll use my trusty computer to generate a random number from 1 to however many entries exist.  The person who wrote the comment that corresponds with the resulting number will be the winner!

Nook Delivery

If you win, I’ll ship the Nook to you anywhere in the continental US.  If you need it delivered elsewhere, we’ll figure out the best shipping option and I’ll contribute up to $15 towards it.  Or, if any of our travels overlap (Kiva DO anyone?) I’ll hand deliver it to you.

The Rules

  • Enter as many times as you like, but no two entries can be consecutive.  There must be at least one entry from another person between each of your entries.
  • No explicit language is allowed.  Keep it rated G.
  • Don’t be mean! 
  • Your sentences can be long or short.  Very short sentences are fine.  Please avoid long run-sentences.
  • Do not try to game the system (by entering the contest with multiple aliases, for example).  If I suspect you of anything like this, you will be disqualified.  I reserve the right to disqualify anyone at any time, but I really don’t want to!
  • Frequent Miler, his wife, and son are not eligible to win, but they are allowed to contribute to the story.  If one happens to win, a new random number will be picked until a valid winner is found.
  • Have fun!

  1. Ollie says:

    It was a dark and stormy night.

  2. Heather says:

    Suddenly, a shot rang out!

  3. Matt says:

    All flights were cancelled.

  4. Ollie says:

    The airport was on shut down, no one in and no one out.

  5. LarryInNYC says:

    TSA Special Operative Scott Scanner surveyed the boarding area at gate 10.

  6. Gabe says:

    And found a dead MD80

  7. Mo says:

    And thousands of passengers were left stranded.

  8. Ollie says:

    Sadly, that wasn’t all they found dead.

  9. John L says:

    This despite the fact that the MD80 could only hold 170 passengers.

  10. Richard says:

    A shriek pierced through Terminal C, where, at gate 42, an inconsolable Erin Foster wept over her dead tabby cat, Milo.

  11. Casey Friday says:

    More cries were heard as people’s iPads were dying by the dozen.

  12. gpapadop says:

    Suddenly, there was very loud music in one of the charter planes parked and screams of ecstasy!

  13. Gabe says:

    Then charter started rocking back and fourth.

  14. Skoropi says:

    Stanley’s wife finally shook him awake – he always had these crazy dreams before his upcoming long-haul to Nairobi.

  15. stevelb says:

    I actually fell out of my seat!

  16. Ryan says:

    All 170 passengers (or the thousands, media reports could not be substantiated at the time) pressed their faces to the glass to see what all the raucous was about.

  17. Tom says:

    Suddenly the skies cleared and the sun started shining.

  18. Barbara says:

    An all black suv came flying down the Tarmac, lights flashing, pulling up short at gate 15.

  19. David Moye says:

    18 oddly-clad men wearing large red noses poured from the vehicle, 1 at a time.

  20. The Weekly Flyer says:

    Jack Bower, was the last man out of the vehicle and climbed into the MD88 luggage / cargo hold an radio’d back that ‘the eagle is in the nest’

  21. Harold says:

    Then, shining in the darkness they saw it.

  22. jcmitchell21 says:

    As Scott Scanner overheard Jack Bower’s radio transmission on his walkie talkie, he mistook it for the code phrase used when a grandmother has forgotten a crocheting needle in her purse which, left unconfiscated, could be used to make a Afghan (passengers have an irrational fear of all Afghans).

  23. Zach says:

    Scott heard a voice cry out from his left: “Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!”

  24. Lauren says:

    Scott then noticed his shoe was untied.

  25. Andy says:

    The list ran through Agent Scanner’s mind at a breakneck pace, “Rain, crocheting needle, dead iPads, Red nosed men, his old buddy Jack Bower, and an untied shoe…this can’t be coincidence.

  26. Anthony says:

    Then Agent Scanner realized he might have to fly economy on the flight…

  27. Lisa says:

    Agent Scanner thought, “I can’t fly economy! I need the extra room to think.” Quickly he contacted his point collecting buddies for help getting a business class ticket.

  28. Matt says:

    Unfortunately, all he had were avios, and he needed a complex routing around the world.

  29. oneeyejack says:

    Alas, he decided that paying full price in First Class was the way to go and whipped out his Amex Centurion card.

  30. Scott says:

    So with ticket in hand he boarded his flight to…

  31. Mark says:

    Right there and then he ran towards a computer to check the status of his latest credit card churn… had he been approved for the Chase Saphire, his business class trip would have been saved…

  32. Alessandra says:

    Bingo! Saphire it is! What was my expertflyer ID after all??? Hun…

  33. Joseph M says:

    Suddently his mind turned back to the preceding events. Darkness then Light, Shots fired, MD80s, tickets, red noses, screams of ecstacy, dead iPads Jack Bauer. He then thought “I gotta cut out the Tequila, too much Tequilla, too much hard living and what was her name from last night?????”

  34. Carissa L says:

    Oh, well, doesn’t really matter, he thought. Time to make his way to the oh so cold city of Zurich….

  35. Scott says:

    “Ah, Zurich, I can’t wait to have some Zürcher Eintopf when I get there,” he though.

  36. Joseph M says:

    Zurich, a city with so many secrets and not enough answers. Maybe by the time I leave I’ll get the answers I need. “What the Heck was her name anyway?” but I digress, back again to Zurich perhaps for the last time……

  37. Ismael says:

    The plane landed in snow-packed Zurich.

  38. Jay says:

    But Zurich was nothing like he had seen before. What had happened?!

  39. Matt says:

    Neon signs lit up the landscape like 1980′s Las Vegas gone terribly wrong.

  40. julianne says:

    And instead of the typical Swiss neutrality position, the government was siding with the Taliban on issues of personal freedom.

  41. Andy says:

    Wait, this wasn’t Zurich; it really was Las Vegas!

  42. Jerry W says:

    They had a terrorist alert at the airport. Nobody was allowed to disembark the plane. He was stuck in the old and dingy MD-80 for who knows how long.

  43. Jay says:

    He was almost bored out of his mind when he noticed the stewardess winking at him from across the aisle…

  44. Biggles209 says:

    Flight attendant!

  45. Scott says:

    He departed the airport promptly, though briefly first stopping at the head on the way out.

  46. Mike says:

    He corrected himself

  47. Tom says:

    Out of the corner of his eye he noticed he was being followed.

  48. Linda says:

    He checked his point balances to see which hotel he had enough points to stay at, while he decided what to do next.

  49. Island Goddess says:

    Was it a weekend? Was it a weekday? How many nights? He HAD to know in order to get the maximum points…

  50. Biggles209 says:

    Damn! No Andaz in Las Vegas…

  51. Aarash Fakhori says:

    OH NO! Internet Explorer crashed before the page could load! Cursing his windows phone he searched for a viable option to research his points – There! …

  52. Scott says:

    …He pulled up the awardwallet app on his Android phone instead.

  53. Matt says:

    Thinking how nice a larger screen (like on a nook) would be, he perused his options.

  54. Aarash Fakhori says:

    As he sifted through his plump wallet of points he reminisced about the fantastic trips he took earning them.

  55. Mark says:

    How could he forget the first class trip to Tokio and the stay at the Park Hyatt for free since it was his company that was paying for it…

  56. Alessandra says:

    The only thing he regreted was not being able to convince the financial department at the company to aloow him to double dip on his personal credit card and get reimbursed… damn you accountants…

  57. Matt says:

    At least they let him sign up for MR on his Corp card.

  58. Jnk says:

    Finally getting a signal he determined he was staying at …

  59. Aarash Fakhori says:

    The AIRPORT! Everything was put on lockdown again! Frantically, he…

  60. Matt says:

    Ate an apple.

  61. Biggles209 says:

    …that was almost as old as the MD-80 from which he had stolen it. Gagging, he ran for the closest bathroom – the Ladies.

  62. Richard1148 says:

    Oh no, it was occupied!

  63. Jay says:

    And when he was done, he threw it on the ground to see if his follower would react..

  64. Tom says:

    Much to his suprise he opened the door and saw a man smoking a cigar.

  65. Chirag says:

    Luckily, they were in a special smoking zone at the airport!

  66. Steelsnow says:

    It was Tom Bodett (of Motel 6 fame)…. And he had left the light on for him!

  67. Scott says:

    Then the other guy suddenly grabbed his own neck and tipped over…dead.

  68. Steelsnow says:

    “That would never have happened if he had signed up for free A Club platinum!” Scanner exclaimed.

  69. Matt says:

    Commenting on perhaps the most valuable elite perk of all time – not dieing.

  70. Mark says:

    What am I to do now? If somebody sees me here they may think I am a suspect!

  71. Aarash Fakhori says:

    Never realizing platinum status had so much value he fled the scene.

  72. Tom says:

    He stepped over the lifeless body and moved towards the nearest bar.

  73. Scott says:

    “A vodka tonic with a lime, please.”

  74. Rachel says:

    “I’ll make it a double, you look like you could use a drink.”

  75. Tom says:

    With one swig the double vodka tonic was taken down.

  76. Max M. says:

    Bartender: “That will be 100,000 SkyPesos, please.”

  77. julianne says:

    Over the loud speaker, an announcement is made. EVERYONE must evacuate the airport and reclear security, as there has been a TSA breach.

  78. Max M. says:

    “Everyone gets the white glove treatment today” continued the loud speaker.

  79. Steelsnow says:

    Turning away, he said “Let me talk to Rene (Delta Points) about the best strategy to pay you today.”

  80. Tom says:

    Scanner grabbed the bottle of vodka and chugged, he knew there was work to be done

  81. Max M. says:

    “And now Steven Tyler of Aerosmith will sing the national anthem over our glorious loud speaker”, blared the loud speaker.

  82. worldtraveller2 says:

    In his haste, he tripped the alarm on the door, and now the sirens were blaring!

  83. julianne says:

    He runs out the airport and is the first in line to clear security again. He wonders — should he take the nude o scope or opt for a pat down?

  84. Max M. says:

    And all of a sudden, none other than the Priceline Negotiator, William Shatner, dashes into the bar.

  85. Matt says:

    Make that the ZOMBIE negotiator.

  86. Tom says:

    There is a huge burly man doing the pat downs so the choice is easy, he went in the pat down line and waited his turn

  87. TheBeerHunter says:

    As the plane plunged into the inky blackness of night, Mr. Shatner knew he was in trouble.

  88. TheBeerHunter says:

    There was only one way to handle this.

  89. Max M. says:

    Ahead of Scott in the new security line is Paula Deen.

  90. shar says:

    He struck up a conversation with Shatner, asking him about his latest travel escapades.

  91. AJM says:

    So, using his smartphone he . . .

  92. shar says:

    figured out a way to pull up all his itineraries in the last 20 years and then proceeded to describe in detail every trip.

  93. Peter Dominowski says:

    Then I hear someone say, “He’s dead, Jim.”

  94. Ollie says:

    Played words with friends

  95. Max M. says:

    Launched his biscuits and gravy locator app, and every indication showed that Paula Deen was indeed in close proximity, and carrying a half gallon of sausage gravy and 4 dozen biscuits into the security checkpoint.

  96. James Banko says:

    Using his smartphone GPS program, he tried to figure out if he was in Zurich or Las Vegas, because his location has become unclear to him.

  97. Ollie says:

    I’m in new York! Said Will

  98. Max M. says:

    But of course, I should have known that considering I paid $20 for an iced tea along with the 100,000 SkyPesos for my gin and tonic.

  99. Matt says:

    Suddenly all was clear and the preceeding events no longer incomprehensible. This was just another day at JFK t3.

  100. Miriam A. says:

    Way to go, I’ll be able to take advantage of those NYC Amex promo’s after all!

  101. Steelsnow says:

    “Wait a minute” he thought. “I thought ‘The Negotiator’ was seen plunging to his death earlier on TV. How can Shattner be here?”

  102. Max M. says:

    Including the pliot that was entering T3 that had a bumper sticker on his rollerboard that read “Pilots for Bob Dole for President 2012.”

  103. Matt says:

    He headed to the sky club for a nice Scotch – Lagavulin – appreciative that at least delta knew who would pay for premium liquor.

  104. Max M. says:

    He knew at the Skyclub he wouldn’t have to fork over 100,000 SkyPesos for Lagavulin. No, it was 100,000 SkyPesos for Boones Farm malt liquor.

  105. Tom says:

    Fully inebraited off of three bottles of Boones Farm he did what any sensible New Yorker would do, hailed a cab to Harlem.

  106. shar says:

    Once there he realized he wasn’t in Kansas anymore.

  107. Matt says:

    He elected to pay the 16 US dollars for the scotch instead, saving the pesos for that elusive multicontinent itinerary with a stopover and open jaw on partner airlines.

  108. Max M. says:

    After arriving in Harlem, he realized that he left his wallet in the SkyClub @ JFK. Thankfully, he smuggled out 3 extra bottles of Boones Farm and told the cabbie “These three bottles of Boones Farm are yours if you’ll drive me to LaGaurdia.”

  109. Matt says:

    He knew there was plenty more boones at the US airways club.

  110. Steelsnow says:

    As the reached LaGuardia, he paid the cab driver his Boone’s, and realized the cabbie was Rick from Frugal Travel Guy!

  111. Max M. says:

    His only fear was that his wallet was in the JFK SkyClub. How would he be able to get into The US Airways Club? Thankfully he had the cell phone number of “The Negotiator”. Surely if he could get “The Negotiator” over to LGA from JFK that Mr.Shatner would vouch for his identity.

  112. shar says:

    No such luck.

  113. Steelsnow says:

    “If he’s still with Priceline, you won’t get any points!’ FTG exclaimed.

  114. Jnk says:

    He misdials the number and a woman, Bonnie answered the phone.

  115. Max M. says:

    Thankfully he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express 2 nights ago.

  116. Matt says:

    UN’s plan to dominate frequent flyer discussion via cab driving was becoming clear.

  117. Ben says:

    She wasn’t sure why she felt this way. A thousand, parallel, random thoughts coursing at once through her mind. Coupled with that slightly-shipboard feeling of wooziness, the day was only going to get more difficult.

  118. Max M. says:

    He then realized he had Boones Farm 2 Nights ago with Bonnie at the Holiday Inn Express.

  119. Scott says:

    DID HE FORGET THE FACT THAT HE WAS IN ZURICH 30 POSTS AGO?

  120. Max M. says:

    In his intoxicated state, he realized that he had broken the space-time continuium and had traveled to a parallel universe.

  121. Steelsnow says:

    “Drat, even Richard Branson won’t give me miles for traveling the space/time parallel universe!” he thought.

  122. shar says:

    Nevertheless, he knew that travel was worth more than the points. Uh… who was he kidding?

  123. Steelsnow says:

    “The real mystery” he thought “Was what exactly was a point anyways, and how did they make them?”

  124. julianne says:

    Feeling warm from his alcohol consumption, he ripped off all of his clothes and screamed …

  125. Scott says:

    Wow, I need to put more deodorant on!

  126. shar says:

    The people around him concurred.

  127. Steelsnow says:

    and passed out.

  128. julianne says:

    Of course, he had no deodorant with him (since it is a liquid that would be snatched up by the TSA). So instead of deodorant, he used …

  129. Sam says:

    But he had his precious Nook in his hand firmly even while passing out.

  130. Tom says:

    some nearby flowers to rub over his pits, roses to be exact. The thorns hadn’t been removed.

  131. Matt says:

    And died, as they weren’t platinum.

  132. Scott says:

    Anyway…standing back up after recovering from the pain of the thorns, he exclaimed:

  133. Matt says:

    DYKWIA???????????

  134. shar says:

    Those around him were puzzled.

  135. Jerry W says:

    everybody shook their heads, except for one person.

  136. Matt says:

    It was the man in the Diamond Hat.

  137. Steelsnow says:

    Hyatt gave it to him a present, for those ‘beyond’ diamond membership….

  138. shar says:

    But even Diamond Hat man didn’t know what to make of the thorn wounds.

  139. Ralph says:

    But luckily Dr. Hilton did

  140. Steelsnow says:

    He looked closely at Diamond Hat man, and recognized his from the One World Mega DO lineup…. It was Gary from ‘View from the Wing’!

  141. Jimgotkp says:

    Then he wondered where Bill Marriott was..

  142. julianne says:

    Until he realized that Bill Marriott was the dead man at the Zurich airport bathroom.

  143. Steelsnow says:

    Gary walked up and said “Excuse me sir, I believe I have your wallet… You left it behind when you were in the lounge earlier.”

  144. julianne says:

    Unfortunately, the wallet was missing ALL of its cash. In its place was …

  145. Steelsnow says:

    a free ticket to the One World Mega DO, and a voucher for 3 more bottles on Boone’s on the flight!

  146. shar says:

    It was a happy day.

  147. Matt says:

    And a gold awardwalley onecard.

  148. Steelsnow says:

    ‘Someone meant for me to go on this flying trip with all of these wild and crazy bloggers’, he thought.

  149. Matt says:

    A glowing, levitating randy Peterson appeared.

  150. shar says:

    “All hail Randy Peterson!” the entire terminal yelled.

  151. Neelaksh11 says:

    He seemed to be in hurry and was running to…

  152. Steelsnow says:

    ‘Scott’ said Randy ‘I heard you are searching for truth, justice and American miles…. And we have exactly the right trip for you to join in on!’.

  153. Scott says:

    Scott thought, “well that’s great. I just landed, someone tried to kill me, and rose thorn wounds all over and now this stranger is telling me “we have exactly the right trip for you to join in on”? Weird.

  154. julianne says:

    Scott decides to join the group despite his concerns. Since he has no money, he is hoping someone in the group will help him figure how to travel without using cash.

  155. Steelsnow says:

    Randy said, ‘First, we need to get you back to a club with a shower so you can get rid of that malodorous scent you knock over those people with…. And some clothes, please!’.

  156. julianne says:

    He goes to the Admirals Club and takes a long shower. He likes the smell of the shampoo and shower gel. He comes out and his travel companions are gone. He has no idea what airline he is traveling on. He has no idea what gate the plane is leaving from. He is a resourceful fellow, so he …

  157. Scott says:

    Oh fudge…he just realized he left his umbrella at the airport bar. It’s an important umbrella.

    He turns around and leaves to go back to get the umbrella instead of leaving with the strangers.

  158. Steelsnow says:

    swipes someone’s tablet computer and sees that the events begin tonight a place called the Puglia Restorante.

  159. Scott says:

    back at the airport bar, he grabs his umbrella, checks the handle to make sure it’s still loaded, and runs out of the airport.

  160. Steelsnow says:

    ‘I think one of these bloggers tried to kill me, and is now playing cat and mouse,’ thought Scott ‘but now I have their plans and can watch them on thks trip!’.
    http://megado.com/blogs/?p=571

  161. julianne says:

    Scott is obviously deluded with drink, since all travel bloggers are friendly folk who wouldn’t kill anyone (unless, of course, the murder victim stole the blogger’s upgrade).

  162. Steelsnow says:

    While in front of the airport pondering this puzzle, The Points Guy pops out of a cab and says ‘Is that a OWDO pass in your hand – we are getting ready to fly out now to London!’

  163. Chris says:

    Suddenly, he heard the cry from behind him…”El Paso or bust!”

  164. bean says:

    then he saw her.

  165. Scott says:

    It was Sarah Michelle Gellar!

  166. julianne says:

    Scott always wanted to be MISTER Sarah Michelle Gellar, so he turned on the charm. The first thing he did was …

  167. Joediver says:

    And she was about to get the last upgrade on my flight!

  168. Amy says:

    Dressed in black from head to toe, she winked wickedly as she bypassed the line and strolled past all the men in business suits.

  169. julianne says:

    Scott can’t let SMG get the last upgrade because he would lose face in front of his new friends. So, he trips her as she walks smilingly by. She falls and breaks a tooth. She won’t be making the flight after all.

  170. Steelsnow says:

    Now which gate is that DO plane for London leaving from?

  171. Jason says:

    And he certainly won’t be Mister Sarah Michelle Gellar.

  172. Matt says:

    Unless she’s into that.

  173. Ollie says:

    Luckily, Angel shows up and Sarah Michelle Gellar remembers her love for him and they walk off into the night. Finally together.

  174. Jay says:

    A bit dissapointed, Scott turned his attention back to the long line waiting..

  175. Amy says:

    Shivering in his seat, the flight attendant quickly and gently taps on his shoulder to awaken him from his dream.

  176. David says:

    and seen something he through he would never see.

  177. Saurabh S says:

    And he realized upgrades enable you to have sweet dreams.

  178. Steelsnow says:

    and so do the free drinks!

  179. Michael W says:

    and shorter bathroom lines.

  180. Get Gowing says:

    After waking up and the flight attendant hands him his coat, where he realizes that $80 is missing from it.

  181. k2o says:

    He sinks back into his seat, the FA gives him a diet coke and lime to refresh him.He takes a deep swig and smiles as he remembers the many gc’s in his wallet…thank goodness for bigcrumbs.

  182. Chuck says:

    He frets over the loss, but disembarks anyway. As he passed the electronics store in the terminal, he noticed that the guy that sat in front of him was peeling off 4 crisp $20 bills to buy something.

  183. David says:

    “How suspicious,” he thought to himself, “Why would

  184. Matt says:

    Lucky coins pay with bills? He dumped his diet coke with lime and prepared for an epic battle…to the pain!

  185. Jnk says:

    Someone pay with cash. What a waste of credit card points

  186. Kat says:

    that guy have four crisp $20 bills?

  187. Hector says:

    And an epic battle it was!

  188. Bender says:

    A swift fist to the jaw and presidential gold coins came flying out of his mouth

  189. Mark says:

    Boy this jab felt good… now I know how Chuck Norris feels!

  190. Scott says:

    He reached into his pocket and pulled out his switchblade that he was able to easily get past the TSA.

  191. Matt says:

    Unfortunately his adversaryvhad smuggled through something much, much more dangerous – a cupcake.

  192. Scott says:

    And not just a normal cupcake…one with a filling!

  193. Mike says:

    But thefilling was made of concrete

  194. Ken says:

    Thankfully the frosting was just frosting.

  195. David says:

    And it was delicious, and made with real cream cheese.

  196. Bender says:

    Suddenly realizing he needed two weeks worth of content…

  197. TheBeerHunter says:

    However, I am deathly allergic to cream cheese.

    dude, love the blog and money saving ideas.

  199. bender says:

    for a moment Scott forgot about the cupcake when he noticed a sign in the store offering a 5% discount after signing up for their loyalty program

  200. Scott says:

    He started thinking ahead to a special date…February 14, but not because it’s Valentine’s Day (lame). However that special day is 3 freaking WEEKS away.

  201. bender says:

    If only he could get out of this airport and figure out where he REALLY was

  202. Matt says:

    Then he could book that attractive 21 day advance purchase fare and requalify for double platinum diamond kryptonium.

  203. bender says:

    anxiety set in and he had to get out of that store. He swiped frosting off the cupcake and onto the man’s face rendering him helpless

  204. Susie says:

    But wait…I see someone, oh my gosh, is that who I think it is?? It’s …..

  205. Scott says:

    Richard Branson?

  206. Andy says:

    Things were about to get weird.

  207. rharrigill says:

    Real weird.

  208. Island Goddess says:

    the Million Mile Secrets guy having lunch with that Mommy Points gal!!!

  209. bender says:

    time seemed to stop as Branson wizzed past on his heelies

  210. Scott says:

    He was wearing shorts, t-shirt, and sandals and rambling about a fire on Necker Island…and how he needed help proving it was arson.

  211. rharrigill says:

    But wait, what is that he has in his hands? It’s none other than a

  212. bender says:

    taking a swig, he lost his balance and fell backwards on the floor, rendering him unconscious

  213. rharrigill says:

    His heelie wheels continued to spin as he laid there.

  214. The Wanderer says:

    But was he really unconscious, or was it just an act?

  215. bender says:

    in the background an employee was yelling at the man from the plane who was knocking store displays over as he frantically tried to remove cupcake frosting from his face when Scott suddenly remembered…

  216. Harold says:

    very small

  217. Matt says:

    Hobbits

  218. Jnk says:

    That had told him about

  219. [disqualified entry] says:

    the proper way to wear a dish-dash.

  220. Steelsnow says:

    the proper way to wear a poncho.

  221. Max M says:

    As he passed by many gates, he saw a huge infestation of gate lice.

  222. Rebecca says:

    and the proper way to roll your clothes for travel.

  223. Scott says:

    and proceeded to become a louse himself while thinking about what Branson had said.

  224. Mark says:

    And Branson said “forget about all that nonsense… here… a ticket to Necker Island. Go have some fun in the sun kiddo”

  225. Alessandra says:

    The flight to Miami was uneventful and he could not wait for the private jet travel

  226. Tom says:

    Thanking Branson, he made his way to the next gate for departure.

  227. bender says:

    lice everywhere!

  228. Jnk says:

    He Got to the gate and saw his long lost

  229. Mark says:

    friend. A supermodel from Victoria Secret! Mile High Club, here we go!!!!!!

  230. bender says:

    unfortunately she turned left upon entering the plane and he was shooed to seat 21C

  231. Tom says:

    They boarded the plane.

  232. Get Gowing says:

    wife, who he left in the middle seat in the last row of economy on the previous connecting flight.

  233. bender says:

    She was furious at him. But excited she got to meet Richard Branson’s body in the terminal’s electronics store

  234. Jnk says:

    There were 3 children who entered the plane.

  235. Get Gowing says:

    They were really young, and no mommy points-diva to be found!

  236. bender says:

    Thankfully there was plenty of room left in the overhead

  237. Matt says:

    The bins were empty, except for Seth.

  238. Elena says:

    Somehow he managed to squeeze himself in to the bins!

  239. Max M says:

    Of course! He was told by Richard Branson that this was Virgin’s plan to become a cheaper airline than RyanAir.

  240. bender says:

    After takeoff,

  241. Elena says:

    they made a toast- Cheers to Virgin’s new plan.

  242. Mike says:

    But the airline is trying to save money in any ways possible that the glass broke while cheering.

  243. Tom says:

    The flight attendant swept up the glass and got eneveryone ready for takeoff.

  244. bender says:

    …and left Scott looking like he had wet himself so he said, “..

  245. “Can I get a blanket? Or maybe a…”

  246. Tom says:

    “Makers on the rocks?”

  247. Scott says:

    “There you go, friend. Looks like you’ve had a long day so far.”

  248. Jnk says:

    After finishing the drink he quickly asked for a second as he was feeling much better.

  249. nulle says:

    while in the cargohold a couple of stowaways wonder,

  250. Tom says:

    Whats taking so long for take off?

  251. dinosims says:

    Why pay for flights – this is nicer than economy!

  252. Scott says:

    Sitting there nursing his second Makers…

  253. dwh says:

    he comes up with a brilliant idea.

  254. Mike says:

    He started tapping on his lap. Then noticed a hot sexy young girl sitting next to him.

  255. Tom says:

    Terrible thoughts stared to run through this mind and he noticed the girl was morphing into a purple elephant. Someone had spiked his Makers with LSD!

  256. rharrigill says:

    Then he woke up in Iceland, wearing nothing but his boxers.

  257. Elena says:

    Not just any boxers, his polka dot and heart boxers.

  258. rharrigill says:

    And in his hands he was holding a baby koala bear.

  259. Mike says:

    Oh great, he thought. Now i lost my passport!

  260. Matt says:

    Good thing I keep a few extras hidden away.

  261. Mom Miler says:

    Jack Bower showed up to return the

  262. Karen says:

    Oh well, he thinks, I’ll just make the best of it; I’ve always wanted an extended stay in Iceland anyway.

  263. Jerry W says:

    But this koala was no ordinary koala; it was a carnivorous koala. Not knowing this, Jack Bauer let the baby koala loose on Iceland, and it caused havoc on the native animal species on Iceland. The Icelandic government was furious and deported him to..

  264. Matt says:

    Uranus

  265. JMC says:

    I waited for her to come out from the tarmac; I waited for 3 hours, and she did not come out.

  266. Gary Steiger says:

    Then he thought of those poor folks in the cargo hold. Thinking they should really be flying first class, he introduced them to Flyertalk.

  267. Saurabh S says:

    He went to Flyertalk and signed up for Chase Sapphire card and started the points and miles game!

  268. Jnk says:

    And since he got the card, again, he was able to really enjoy Iceland

  269. Bender says:

    then his cell rang, it was. Chase’s fraud dept. “Blast!”, He thought. He rushed through the call before realizing..

  270. Jnk says:

    That he forgot to tell them he had lost his wallet and thus numerous Chase credit cards

  271. Eric says:

    The fraud department told him his wallet had been found in the pocket of a dead man at JFK!

  272. Matt says:

    His throat had been ripped open with a sharpened sapphire preferred.

  273. Eric says:

    And through all the blood the name on the card was clearly…

  274. Jnk says:

    On the back!

  275. Eric says:

    As well as on the front!

  276. Bender says:

    He knew immediately his TSA training would be invaluable here

  277. Mike says:

    Then realized he was dreaming. He was still drunk on the plane

  278. Bender says:

    “I had the most vivid dream” he said aloud

  279. Matt says:

    There were bloodthirsty clowns all around, churning multiple chase personal cards simultaneously!

  280. “No need to worry about the clowns”, he realized. They were all busy talking to the Chase re-consideration reps.

  281. Basim says:

    Thanks for your website, it’s fun to read other opinions on topics like this that interest.

  282. Sara says:

    ……and suddenly …

  283. Jnk says:

    Was the random thought he had.

  284. Dan says:

    Somebody said this “This is a fun idea”

  285. Matt says:

    Let’s make a credit card out of granite!

  286. Scott says:

    “Boy, that was a dumb idea I just had,” he thought.

  287. Tom says:

    “A really dumb idea, what shall I think of next?”, he thought.

  288. Matt says:

    A credit card made of marble…oh wait, that’s dumb too.

    Maybe like Hilton I can find a way to promise less while suggesting more “may” be possible?

  289. Tom says:

    While deep in thought he was interrupted by..

  290. Mike says:

    A old farting sound coming from behind him. Followed by the worst smell ever!

  291. Mike says:

    A slender older guy was standing behind him.

  292. Tom says:

    The old man’s hand came forth….he’s just been cheese cupped.

  293. Harold says:

    Then from the corner of the room.

  294. Matt says:

    A herd of llamas burst forth.

  295. Jnk says:

    They also smelled bad.

  296. Tom says:

    They began to spit.

  297. Scott says:

    and then they all surrounded him…

  298. Jerry W says:

    Meanwhile a rival herd of llamas from another region in the Andes was gearing up for a full-on assault.

  299. Lynn says:

    This could only end one way..and I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty.

  300. David Moye says:

    So, as he heard the llama-in-charge from the original band shouting, “You can take our lives, but you can never take our freedom!” he fired his grappling gun straight up onto the overhead crane support.

  301. Matt says:

    Working quickly, he constructed a rack to give the llamas the full William Wallace treatment.

  302. Bender says:

    Meanwhile, back in the terminal near gate 10..

  303. Jnk says:

    He was thankful when he realized he was still dreaming and had only woken up from his past dream in his dream.

  304. Scott says:

    Oh man, someone just hit one of the llamas with their car.

  305. Tom says:

    The constant insanity of all his dreaming made him decide to seek some help.

  306. dwh says:

    But where was he to find help? Suddenly he thought to himself, “Back to the Maker’s Mark! That’s always made the pain and confusion go away in the past!”

  307. Scott says:

    So back to the bar he went, and with horror he realized it will still nearly TWO WEEKS until his big date.

  308. oneeyejack says:

    but all of a sudden, he forgot what was happening in two weeks

  309. Gary Steiger says:

    Then he remembered…

  310. Jnk says:

    He frantically searched his calendar to no avail and realized he’d have to think of someway to remember.

  311. Bender says:

    The Skyclub was nearly deserted…he killed some time by reading 6-7 blogs every morning

  312. oneeyejack says:

    He kept thinking and thinking and thinking, trying to jog his memory somehow.

  313. Tom says:

    Angry he couldn’t remember anything, and quite drunk off Maker’s at this point, he gave up caring and went to hit on the nearest beautiful woman

  314. Mike says:

    Which turned out to be a manwhore asking for $1,000 a night.

  315. MSPDeltaDude says:

    which he then counter offered with 100,000 sky pesos and six drink tickets.

  316. Bender says:

    But when the ‘man’ took off his wig, Agent Scanner nearly fell over..

  317. Tom says:

    The man laughed in his face saying, everyone knows sky pesos are wothless.

  318. Simpson says:

    Then out of nowhere a couple of dwarves just popped out of the ground, both fully grown and bearded!! Explain that!

  319. BothofUs2 says:

    Underneath the wig was none other than

  320. anita says:

    Warren Buffet!

  321. oneeyejack says:

    “Warrent Buffet,” he exclaimed. “What in the world were you doing under that disguise?”

  322. Bender says:

    “Hiding from taxation!” He exclaimed in hushed excitement. “I have what you’ve been looking for,” he stated, as he extended his arm and gave him…

  323. Matt says:

    A groveling alpaca. How does an alpaca grovel you may ask…

  324. oneeyejack says:

    he didn’t really care how the alpaca grovel, and continued to dig into the stomach to find a USB stick with the classified information it contained.

  325. Gary Steiger says:

    Finally he stumbled upon this story about him and remembered…

  326. Scott says:

    …and remembered he had been forgetting to take his anti-psychotic prescriptions!

  327. Jerry W says:

    He quickly used his Chase Sapphire and/or Ink Bold card to buy Sears gift cards at the UR mall and then went to the K-Mart pharmacy to get a refill!

  328. Bob says:

    He never got there, however, because he was waylaid by a Frequent Miler operative who promised him infinite miles for all of eternity, if only he would agree to

  329. Chris says:

    sell his soul

  330. Gary Steiger says:

    He did not accept the offer, as,given the waining popularity of religion, the current market for souls was as week as Sky Pesos.

  331. Scott says:

    So instead he decided to just sit and have a break in the lounge. And think. Think about where he was really going with all of this.

  332. Gary Steiger says:

    Since he still couldn’t figure it out, even after all that thinking, he

  333. Cindy says:

    Called the psychic network hotline

  334. Scott says:

    couldn’t complete a full sentence?

  335. James says:

    “You have a bright future as a Priceline Spokesman, however using the Corbomite Maneuver aboard the Kobayashi Maru was a bit over-the-top”

  336. Bob says:

    We recommend that you take a vacation in a warm place where you can recuperate while you continue to evade the Vogon operatives on your tail.

  337. Mike says:

    So i asked “how much would i get paid?”

  338. Bob says:

    That depends on how many gift cards you have in your pocket that we know you stole from Frequent Miler on your last trip to

  339. Scott says:

    the moon

  340. Jnk says:

    And can you imagine how many miles I got for that trip?

  341. Bob says:

    It’s really too bad that miles accumulated while dreaming of flying to the moon are not transferable to any Earth based program, so all I was left with were

  342. Michael says:

    Certainly not enough, I can never have enough miles!

  343. Bob says:

    But what’s the point of these miles?

  344. Bender says:

    Scott pulled out his cell to check on his Amex Platinum prescription benefits

  345. Scott says:

    While bending over to pull out his wallet, he thought, “Did I just give myself a hernia?”

  346. Dan says:

    then all of a sudden, a sultry woman in a ninja suit slides down from a rope on the roof and kicks him in the groin

  347. Jnk says:

    I wish I had seen her. Dang ninjas.

  348. Bob says:

    By this point, our hero was really in need of a painkiller. So, he reached into his pocket and

  349. Peter says:

    found nothing :(

  350. Jnk says:

    Pulled out an aspirin. “finally!” he thought something simple that went according to plan.

  351. Bob says:

    Of course, little did he know that around the corner there lurked

  352. Dan says:

    ..the sultry ninja! who kicked our hero in the groin AGAIN!! She then took off her mask and revealed herself to be..

  353. Dan says:

    Older than the hills

  354. Dan says:

    Our hero gasped in horror at the discovery. He pulled out a sawed off shotgun from his bag and pointed it at the ninja..

  355. Basim says:

    Only to find the shotgun full of confetti when he pulled the trigger.

  356. Dan says:

    but the confetti was not confetti after all, but..

  357. PatMike says:

    Track it Back stickers.

  358. Dan says:

    Suddenly, a ray of light shone upon the marbled flooring. A mighty fist cracked the surface of the ground, and out came Chuck Norris..

  359. Gary Steiger says:

    But the ray of light was actually

  360. worldtraveller2 says:

    the heiress to the Walmart fortunre…Alice Walton

  361. Dan Riley says:

    And Alice was checking my receipt from Sam’s Club to make sure that I was not shoplifting some rare art work or 85 pounds of pork rinds as I left the door of Sam’s Club #6895

  362. Dan says:

    ..when Barack Obama walked in and threatened her with a tax raise if she didn’t let me get away with stealing the pork rinds.

  363. Gary Steiger says:

    But Newt said that such a tax rise would be dead on arrival.

  364. Dan says:

    Although he took back what he said when he was offered a job as a “consultant” by Freddie Mac if he kept quiet.

  365. nulle says:

    Then Mitt Romney came in and said “Taxes are too high for millionaires like Newt, Perry, Palin and myself. Let’s cut some more captial gain taxes and jack up the income taxes”

  366. Bjorn says:

    Meanwhile on the grassy knoll some several hundred meters away, Joe W. Lester set down his case.

  367. Sarahjeanne says:

    I told them, “I’ve never been rich enough to be a Republican.”

  368. Steve says:

    Or lazy enough and like a leach to be a Democrat…

  369. David says:

    “Which is why I’m buddhist!”

  370. Mark A. says:

    Lester sat down to meditate, while at the same time, dialed in his scope. His target….

  371. Bender says:

    amidst the politics, Agent Scanner again realized his mission wouldn’t end for nearly 3 WEEKS so he

  372. Tom says:

    Did some jumping jacks to stay in shape for this long mission.

  373. nan baltrum says:

    realized he would have to vote at his early voting location.

  374. Bob says:

    Just as he finished, Jumping Jack Flash announced in a very loud, sonorous voice:

  375. Island Goddess says:

    He was hoping the mission included some elite travel and lie flat beds (he loved those pajamas with the feet in them that he got on Singapore Airlines.) Suddenly he

  376. Tom says:

    Felt lightheaded.

  377. Bob says:

    OMG, I haven’t eaten since this story began. It’s time for

  378. Tom says:

    A filling meal! He walked over to the nearest restaurant which was..

  379. Bob says:

    one for which he had a gift card. Eureka!

  380. Linda says:

    closed for renovation…

  381. Tom says:

    He moved on to the next, which was a brand new..

  382. Jnk says:

    Thank goodness the one next to it was opened

  383. Tom says:

    Scott sat down at the bar at Fleming’s ordered a $3 Kettle Martini, it was happy hour after all, and looked over the menu.

  384. Dan says:

    ..and found that the drink had a hidden fee for a “delivery” surcharge worth $50.

  385. Bob says:

    along with taxes of $18.79, mandatory tip of 147%!
    But with refills for only .75

  386. Tom says:

    In arger at these fees he picked up the phone and berated customer service.

  387. Bob says:

    Unfortunately his automatic dialer had mistakenly connected him with Zambia airlines, who then mistakenly booked him on a flight to Timbuktu that left in 25 minutes.

  388. Tom says:

    He smashed his phone in disgust and ordered up six shots of Patron and a filet with lobster.

  389. Bender says:

    but which card was enrolled in their dining program!?!? He couldn’t remember!

  390. Tom says:

    It didn’t matter at this point, the plan was to chew and screw.

  391. Jnk says:

    The meal came out and on the plate was

  392. Tom says:

    yummy food.

  393. Jnk says:

    He went to order a refill on his shots but then remembered about the makers he had earlier.

  394. Tom says:

    So he orderd one of each.

  395. Simpson says:

    and immediately proceeded with IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER!!!

  396. Tom says:

    Due to his beligerent behavior he was escorted out of the restaurant.

  397. dwh says:

    “Damn,” he said to himself. “I never got a chance to eat. I do have that flight to Timbuktu. Wonder what they’re serving?”

  398. Dan says:

    Before he could think of what the food might be, he got a call from Zambia telling him his flight was cancelled and they could not issue him a refund.

  399. Bender says:

    He checked into the flight and saw he was confirmed on newly-acquired partner, Spirit! Meals were an economical $500

  400. Tom says:

    Mr. Scanner was in a world of confusion.

  401. Bender says:

    His palms began to sweat and his face

  402. Steelsnow says:

    And he thought he saw a…

  403. Bob says:

    new opportunity to use his gift cards in a way even Frequent Miler has not yet though of——–

  404. Simpson says:

    New opportunity?!? ….. It’s dangerous to go alone, take this! ….

  405. BDai says:

    Said the ethnically-ambiguous sidekick, handing him yet another Kohl’s gift card.

  406. Spiceman says:

    and he grabbed his smartphone so he could stay connected to all of his…

  407. Tom says:

    Wait he forgot he had already smashed his smartphone so he grabbed his…

  408. Bob says:

    walkie-talkie and yelled at the top of his lungs:

  409. Dan says:

    ethnically-ambiguous sidekick and kicked him in the groin. “That’s what you get for not being in the top 1% like I am!!”

  410. Jerry W says:

    His ethnically ambiguous sidekick screamed in pain.

  411. Tom says:

    And dropped dead.

  412. Steelsnow says:

    With all the groin kicking going on, the Kohl’s card was used to buy a box of athletic supporters, netting a cool 20 points per $ and a sense on security.

  413. Steve says:

    …and through the pain moaned “but I know how to make a perpetual mileage machine”.

  414. Tom says:

    Scott is now upset he killed his friend as he could have used the mileage machine

  415. Gary Steiger says:

    and could have made some money off him with his Southwest Airlines companion pass that he earned with current SWA credit card offers.

  416. alyce poalillo says:

    On top of that he had this mess to clean up.

  417. andrew gordon says:

    So he asked the stewardess, a waitress in the sky

  418. Scott says:

    so maybe he wasn’t really dead…just dazed.

  419. Gary Steiger says:

    Alas, he actually called the flight attendant a “stewardess, a waitress in the sky”, and she

  420. nulle says:

    slapped him on his face and have that vixen look in her eyes at Scott. The flight attendant asked Scott “Do you have a AmEx Centurion Card?” where Scott answered “Yes. but why?” Flight Attendent explains, “the Centurion Card have healing and invisibility properties.”

    Scot wonders

  421. Bender says:

    aimlessly

  422. nulle says:

    aimlessly throught the aircraft

  423. Margaret Smith says:

    Using the healing and invisibility powers of the Centurion Card he

  424. Bender says:

    back and forth. hands on head. he paced

  425. Kathy Luman says:

    wondering what would happen next.

  426. Margaret Smith says:

    He decided to use the invisibility powers and

  427. Steelsnow says:

    finds that he no longer needs points at all, since no one can actually see him.

  428. Rita Sheppard says:

    As I entered the gloomy old house, I heard a board creak behind me…

  429. Scott says:

    I froze in fear…listening for the faintest squeak.

  430. Susan Smith says:

    I was happy to see it was only my dog Daisy.

  431. Gary Steiger says:

    Who was wondering if she would earn miles by flying in a carrier in cargo.

  432. Margaret Smith says:

    But Daisy had secret powers and was able to fly.

  433. Gary Steiger says:

    But only with the proper drugs, which cost more than a ticket on a flight. Thus she was asking about miles.

  434. Mike says:

    Only if Gary would stop giving it to her.

  435. Dan says:

    She then got a kick in the groin by a random stranger who turned out to be..

  436. Gary Steiger says:

    Gary, who hates drugs.

  437. Dan says:

    Due to the severity of the injury to her groin, Daisy was put down at the PETA headquarters.

  438. Margaret Smith says:

    However her spirit returned and

  439. Bender says:

    whipped out a targeted 100k Amex platinum offer!

  440. Dan says:

    which was quickly rescinded by Amex due to an error made by a lowly intern. The offer was now only a standard credit card with high APR and insanely high annual fees.

  441. Jnk says:

    But with lounge access

  442. Steelsnow says:

    and then a loud yodeling was heard from around the corner.

  443. Eric says:

    Perhaps Special Agent Scanner really made it to Zurich!

  444. Mike says:

    Nope, it was william shackner and he was with….

  445. Everett says:

    Or maybe it was the Yeti from Disneyland’s Matterhorn ride.

  446. Mike says:

    No! It was The Frequent Miler yodeling!!! What was he doing here in this weird psychotic world that wasnt making any sense??

  447. Eric says:

    But with folks dying left and right it surely wasn’t Disneyland…

  448. Steelsnow says:

    It was Shattner, the Disneyland yeti and Frequent Miler, and they were yodeling a sad tale about the quality of Cartera-run mileage malls and Verizon accessories…

  449. Eric says:

    so SA Scanner decided to get back to the mission at hand…now what was it?!?

  450. Steelsnow says:

    I think the last meaningful thing Scanner did was lift a glass or two of Maker’s Mark that was spiked…. Maybe the effects are starting to wear off.

  451. Dan says:

    Meanwhile, in a land far far away lived a lovely princess stuck in a tower.

  452. Joel says:

    And now comes the best part of the story!!

  453. Gary Steiger says:

    SA Scanner heard about this and just had to fly to that far away land to rescue the princess.

  454. Dan says:

    but he got delayed because he refused a full body pat-down from the TSA on his way to board his flight.

  455. Mike says:

    He did however manage to logon and read the post about a story that seems to mimic what was happening to him! But wondered why people couldnt hit refresh button their browser so that the story was in order.

  456. Bob says:

    So frantically calling out to his myriad of writers, he begged, “will someone please help to accomplish my mission without being kicked in the groin again?”

  457. Scott says:

    “Yes, I will,” said sweet, sexy voice behind him.

  458. Tom says:

    It was Lindsey Lohan and she was ready to party.

  459. Jnk says:

    But then a policeman came up and arrested her.

  460. Steelsnow says:

    With a full cadre of TMZ types there making sure we would ALL know about it…

  461. Mark A. says:

    Before the officer could handcuff her, she reached into her purse and tossed a handful of cocaine in his face, then ran, right into the waiting arms of

  462. Tom says:

    Mr. Scanner.

  463. Dan says:

    Who revealed himself to not actually be Mr. Scanner, but an alien zombie robot that can fly and has laser beams for eyes. The readers gasped at the revelation.

  464. Steelsnow says:

    Not to be outdone, the Kardashian sisters showed up at this point because they heard there would be paparazzi coverage!

  465. Bob says:

    This was way too much for our hero who finally realized it was high time for him to hightail it out of there and take that flight to Timbuktu where he could take the step of his Mission; finding

  466. Tom says:

    Alien zombie Scanner liquified the Kardashian sisters one by one with this lazer beam eyes.

  467. Steelsnow says:

    While the celebrity death match ensued, the real Agent Scanner slipped out after he spied an A380 left unguarded on the tarmac.

  468. Tom says:

    When he got to the A380….

  469. erndog says:

    Meanwhile, back at the TSA break room . . .

  470. Gary Steiger says:

    Everyone is laughing at this story and are so distracted by it that

  471. Tom says:

    They forgot how to type.

  472. Dan says:

    ..back at the TSA break room Lex Luthor was planning his next world domination scheme when the door burst open. It was..

  473. Steelsnow says:

    The security team from that A380 – which meant that the jumbo was left all alone!

  474. Scott says:

    Jane Seymour looking all sorts of fine.

  475. Gary Steiger says:

    So our hero snuck onto the A380.

  476. Dan says:

    Since no one was watching the jumbo, Superman quickly hoisted the plane in the air, and with all his might, threw it at the sun where it was devoured by the heat. No more jumbo.

  477. Dan says:

    ..and apparently no more Scott Scanner either.

  478. Jnk says:

    Tears were shed by all.

  479. Dan says:

    While in a little house far from all the drama, a butterfly in a cocoon was doing some of its own shedding.

  480. Tom says:

    Only to be eaten by a swooping bird.

  481. Steelsnow says:

    Somewhere, Randy Petersen was still glowing and levitating, planning the next big thing…

  482. Dan says:

    ..when the Ghost Busters arrived and sucked him into their ghost catching machine. Hey, he was glowing and levitating! What did you expect? Well, oops.

  483. dwh says:

    But Randy wasn’t inspired today. So he threw a tequila and taco party to get his creative juices flowing.

  484. Tom says:

    to gain miles. He requested all writers of this story to divulge all their best tricks.

  485. Steelsnow says:

    This completely interrupted his backroom OWMD negotiation to have AA and Hyatt merge to form the nicest long haul carrier in existence – a Park Hyatt with a landing gear and double miles!

  486. Simon says:

    …the SkyTeam MegaDO!

  487. Dan says:

    Too bad the park Hyatt couldn’t fly, because it didn’t have any wings.. until red bull was used for fuel.

  488. Gary Steiger says:

    And everyone in the hotel was given the proper drugs.

  489. Steelsnow says:

    “If we can achieve lift-off with all those amenities”, Randy thought “we could dominate the mileage and points universe and make billions…. Even millions!”

  490. Dan says:

    and Viagra.

  491. Tom says:

    Lots of viagra.

  492. Steelsnow says:

    But while Randy was trying to pull this deal together, at the same time a humble blogger named Frequent Miler was already formulating a way this ‘Hyatt of the Heavens’ could be hacked…

  493. Bender says:

    to infinity and beyond!!

  494. Steelsnow says:

    “if I can get this flying Hyatt to the international date line while everyone is distracted by all of the xanax and viagra”, FM thought “I can fly in circles and accumulate nights stayed for everyone onboard every 47 seconds!”

  495. Bender says:

    …he exclaimed while smirking and rubbing his palms together

  496. Bob says:

    Now if only I can combine my perpetual point machine with perpetual flights back and forth the international date line, I will be able to achieve my goal of world domination
    or at least global domination of all frequent flyer blogs!

  497. Suzanne K says:

    and maybe even let Daisy rest in peace

  498. James says:

    Just then, Frequent Miler discovered something quite disturbing…

  499. Scott says:

    …he had no gas in his ’93 Corolla.

  500. Bob says:

    Someone had broken into his secret stash of gift cards that he keeps locked away and stolen some cards.
    Strangely enough, the thief had only stolen gift cards from…..

  501. Scott says:

    Victoria’s Secret. Were they even on the UR Mall?

  502. Kyl Neusch says:

    The thief then decided to exchange the gift cards online for..

  503. Steelsnow says:

    breath mints and yak shears.

  504. Bob says:

    which he then used to escape from

  505. sheryl cullum says:

    his neighbors closet which he ran into when he heard a slamming front door.Oh if only….

  506. Steelsnow says:

    that flying monster Hyatt overhead would stop following him…. It’s like it knew that he had lifted those Vicky’s Secret cards that had been hidden in that guy’s boot!

  507. sheryl cullum says:

    Now he believes he has found his way out…through the door in the floor under the steps and darn smack dab into the…

  508. Sean says:

    washing machine.

  509. Bob says:

    So, that’s where my 57 individuals socks are hiding!
    Now I can wear matching socks again for my next mission.

  510. Eric says:

    The pain from smacking into the washing machine brought a brief moment of lucidity that focused him on the task at hand…

  511. Steelsnow says:

    finding out what ingredients really are in sasparilla and what exactly made it so tasty to non-drinking cowboys in saloons.

  512. Gary Steiger says:

    So he went to the bar in the Hyatt to order Sasparila for his investigation. But there he met

  513. Dan says:

    his untimely death at the hands of a drunken Hobo With a Shotgun who killed him with his Machete.

  514. Cynthia C says:

    The hobo ran to make his escape on a nearby freight train. He ran along side the car and jumped in to find…

  515. Eric says:

    that in his drunken, homicidal stupor he’d failed to recognize it was actually an Amtrak Acela train getting ready to depart for…

  516. Bob says:

    parts unknown with no other passengers, conductors or even

  517. Eric says:

    other stowaway hobos.

  518. Jnk says:

    There was eerie music playin throughout the train.

  519. Jeff says:

    Lana del Rey.

  520. Max M says:

    He felt like he was again on RyanAir or Spirit Ailines having to be nickeled and dimed for soda and…

  521. Bob says:

    then he realized there was a strange smell in the train.

  522. Scott says:

    and, wow, it was bad and it was strong!

  523. Steelsnow says:

    and then….

  524. Bob says:

    the strangest looking monster he had ever seen strolled down the aisle, breathing out an odious mixture of

  525. Scott says:

    toothpaste and Skittles and sushi

  526. Andrew says:

    The monster asked him for…

  527. Bob says:

    directions to the nearest mall, because it had a profound need for some

  528. Noah Kimmel says:

    T-shirts. But while he was there, he look over into the store window and saw

  529. Cheryl says:

    Nail clippers and baking soda to

  530. Mike says:

    Trim his nails and bake a cake

  531. Eric says:

    Valentines Day candy and dental hygiene products.

  532. MR H says:

    and a NOOK also sat poised in the window, with a constantly updating story appearing across the screen!!!

  533. Bob says:

    What! Are you telling me that the NOOK we’ve been promised by Frequent Miler is a used NOOK!?

  534. Andy says:

    Unfortunately Bob, the truth hurts ;)

  535. sheryl cullum says:

    But Bob gets over it as he has a pocketful of victoria secrets giftcards and lots of socks so off to the spa which transforms him into a new man…all decked out he heads too…

  536. David says:

    the airport, ready to fly away.

  537. dwh says:

    So he hopped on the Dash-8 for his 596 stop flight from to Tokyo.

  538. sheryl cullum says:

    and decided to get off the plane early so grabbed his suitcase and a parachute and jumped out at 20,000 feet only to land ….

  539. Bender says:

    Bob brought the used Nook just in case

  540. oneeyejack says:

    so that he could use it in…

  541. sheryl cullum says:

    he land in the most boring place but ended up n the middle of the ocean on a supposedly deserted island.Bobs first thought was….

  542. Bender says:

    “is that D. B. Cooper?!?”

  543. Bob says:

    riding a dolphin to Necker Island?

  544. Bender says:

    Bob wondered how he got himself into this mess..

  545. sheryl cullum says:

    Oh my its …its…oh my …..can it possibly be….

  546. Bender says:

    Picking up the cat, Bob wandered the beach to the west and the cat suddenly exclaimed.. “

  547. Gary Steiger says:

    “I can’t swim!”

  548. sheryl cullum says:

    and I prefer riding in a boat….so where is the boat?

  549. Bob says:

    just then Ms. Jennifer Farragut, alias secret agent Frequent Pointer, showed up on her amphibious airplane, outfitted for special missions to

  550. Rookie10 says:

    He just came to realize that the Viagra wasn’t blue, hmmm… That would explain..

  551. Gary Steiger says:

    just then Ms. Jennifer Farragut, alias secret agent Frequent Pointer, showed up on her amphibious airplane, outfitted for special missions to … rescue cats from isolated islands. But first the cat asked “Do I get miles for the flight?”

  552. Dan says:

    To which Osama Bin Laden, who wasn’t really killed by Seal Team 6 in that raid(it was a hoax! no body) said, “No, you don’t get any miles for that flight! Mwuahahahahaha!”

  553. Reginald Gage says:

    … and then erupted in a ball of flames!

  554. Gary Steiger says:

    So the cats said “Thanks, but I will wait for a miles producing flight to rescue me.”

  555. Nish says:

    They found a canoe on the shore and decided to paddle to the closest airport 7000 miles away

  556. Bender says:

    The cat, in a fatal decision, decided to wait around for a pet-friendly Hyatt

  557. Gary Steiger says:

    Since the island was very near the international date line, the pilot flying the Hyatt in circles across it saw the stranded cat and…

  558. arye says:

    continued to fly right over the cat without a second glance, too busy thinking about what his life-changing event of the morning

  559. Gary Steiger says:

    The cat was quite offended by this and wrote a complaint to Hyatt requesting points for compensation.

  560. Dan says:

    and filed a lawsuit for species discrimination.

  561. Gary Steiger says:

    Alas, he couldn’t find a mailbox on the island, so he put his complaint an lawsuit in a bottle…

  562. Bender says:

    ..and crawled in with it, setting sail on the high seas

  563. David says:

    And threw the bottle in the trash!

  564. Vinay says:

    and this amazing bottle was picked up from the trash by a passing young beautiful lady…

  565. Jnk says:

    And she happened to be on her way to the headquarters.

  566. Bender says:

    No wait, it was a man..on a raft. He just had really long hair.

  567. Gary Steiger says:

    Anyway, the long haired man threw the bottle into the water as intended. But the cat had forgotten to put a cork in it. So…

  568. Bob says:

    it floated slowly downward where it was ingested by a passing whale, on its way to

  569. Bender says:

    the Atlantis resort. The cat was sure the whale would be disappointing at the lack of award space. On the surface, Bob pulled out the weathered Nook and

  570. Gary Steiger says:

    Japan, where Japanese whalers…

  571. Steelsnow says:

    yelled ‘Uno!’

  572. Dan says:

    The whale saw the whalers so he pretended to be a dolphin..

  573. Steelsnow says:

    the whale’s recent diet (reduced fat plankton) really helped sell that trick, as the whale had been aspiring to appear in future Subway commercials with Jared…

  574. Bob says:

    from The Pretender TV show, who is still fleeing The Centre and trying to find out who

  575. Dan says:

    the mother of Ted’s kids in How I Met Your Mother.

  576. MJL says:

    Meanwhile, the cat horked up a hairball, which really torqued off both the whale and the Japanese.

  577. sheryl cullum says:

    So Bob and his cat have been rescued and have been invited to be on the Ellen Degenerous show and happily excited because they will be performing their new act which they know the audience will love ….

  578. Dan says:

    Then the hairball grew a mind of its own. It picked up a samurai sword, cut up the whale, killed the cat, and beheaded the Japanese. The hairball just became our hero.

  579. sheryl cullum says:

    And then Bob woke up from his dream and him and his cat walked onto Eleens stage…YEA!!! Everyone was excited…

  580. Bob says:

    because on this show Frequent Miler had promised to reveal his latest scheme -

  581. Dan says:

    titled “How to Get Traffic To One’s Blog and Earn Loads of Cash by Promising to Give Away Something That Doesn’t Cost Very Much”

  582. Bob says:

    during which he will read excerpts from this story, interspersed with his latest tips for earning miles by doing

  583. Tina says:

    Google check.

  584. sheryl cullum says:

    Which worked out perfectly for his encore…

  585. Jnk says:

    Mega do giveaway.

  586. k2o says:

    The mega google do?

  587. Chris says:

    But there were no Google card churning opportunities.

  588. Steelsnow says:

    What if he just made Goo-gily eyes at all of the Chase cards that are out there, but just outside the 3-4 a year comfort zone… What to do?

  589. Gary Steiger says:

    He looked at the American Airlines 50K offers and…

  590. Max M says:

    Wanted to churn very very badly, but…

  591. Dan says:

    applied for both 50k offers, hoping to get a haul of 100k miles but instead got denied even after calling for reconsideration. So he decided..

  592. Gary Steiger says:

    to buy a boat and cruise to wherever he wanted to go. To hell with miles.

  593. Dan says:

    his first stop was the coast of Italy, where his boat was ran over by a ship called the Costa Concordia.

  594. Gary Steiger says:

    The sinking boat killed the whale that ate the bottle. The bottle was recovered from the whale’s body by the Japanese whalers who claimed the whale and the complaints thernin were…

  595. Dan says:

    of no concern to them.

  596. Gary Steiger says:

    But when one of them told his wife about this, she insisted he tell the press about this amazing find.

  597. Dan says:

    Suddenly, a huge space craft emerged from the sky. It was the Star Destroyer, and in it was Darth Vader wielding his red light saber. Dum dum dum, dum-du-dum, dum-du-dum..

  598. Mike says:

    Oh god! Now what!!!
    Then suddenly a light saber magically appeared.

  599. Bob says:

    And when Darth Vader emerged from the craft, he removed his helmet and revealed that he was, in truth, TSA Special Operative Scott Scanner, still alive and ready to rumble!

  600. Bender says:

    Agent Scanner said, “it’s the cat Bob, get the cat back from the whale…our mission lies within it’s

  601. Scott says:

    It was like Han Solo reappearing alive all over again!

  602. Bob says:

    digestion of Arctic Krill. We’re convinced that Krill contains a secret substance that when digested by a whale becomes an elixir, whose special properties include

  603. Bender says:

    those mimicked by A Club Platinum status, including eternal life! Bob missed the free promotion recently and had been kicking himself because it was all due to

  604. Scott says:

    Concerns about impotence. Thank goodness for Cialis though!

  605. Bob says:

    Yes, Cialis is such a sweetheart. No matter how down he gets, Cialis is always there to cheer him on with kind words and invitations to

  606. Bender says:

    Bob’s head was spinning. He jumped on the spaceship with Scott and they beamed up the whale for

  607. Scott says:

    …and invitations to amusement parks all over the world.

  608. Richard says:

    “Cut!” shouted Spielberg, the director. “Take five!” He was exasperated; it was his first attempt at a mock-umentary, and something was telling him his intuition on the storyline just wasn’t clicking…

  609. Terry says:

    so he consulted a group of experts.

  610. sheryl cullum says:

    So in come the experts headed by the one and only paula Dean.

  611. Simpson says:

    …ya’ll smell that? come closer …

  612. Dan says:

    then Master Yoda appeared wielding his green light saber! He started dueling with Darth Vader when..

  613. shar says:

    suddenly, without warning, paula exploded.

  614. Bender says:

    Spielberg yelled at the effects guys and told them to

  615. Ted says:

    make the explosions bigger!

  616. Bender says:

    so they began building another Paula Dean robot

  617. Jay says:

    but they couldn’t hear him

  618. shar says:

    so they started off with only a small robot. “Don’t you know how much paula eats?” yelled spielberg? They quickly began again.

  619. Dan Riley says:

    And Paula can only eat what was last mentioned on Rachel Ray’s “Eating for $5 a day in Panama City Beach” from 2006

  620. shar says:

    That makes no sense, said the author of the story.

  621. Dan says:

    The door burst open and in came Chuck Norris. He viciously kicked Spielberg in the groin and he died instantly.

  622. Dan Y says:

    “Chuck Norris is king of the entire universe!” he yelled.

  623. Dan says:

    Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice!

  624. Lynn says:

    The others quickly fell silent, not in awe but in disbelief. Could this really be

  625. shar says:

    Perhaps.

  626. Bender says:

    The cat suddenly woke up in a cold sweat. He was at home at the foot of the bed and thought

  627. Dan says:

    “I’m alive right now because Chuck Norris allows me to live”

  628. Richard says:

    … Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is, but a cat’s dream.

  629. Gary Steiger says:

    But did Hyatt receive my complaint?

  630. Bender says:

    The sun had set and the night was

  631. shar says:

    still. Somewhere, though, someone was stirring in a Westin heavenly bed.

  632. Gary Steiger says:

    cold, but the Cat didn’t care about that.

  633. Dan says:

    The cat was actually Chuck Norris, only pretending to be a cat.. so he

  634. Brent says:

    Orly said the cat to the room attendant who was talking about

  635. Gary Steiger says:

    The cat was actually Chuck Norris, only pretending to be a cat.. so he traveled to Hyatt headquarters to demand his points, or else!

  636. Dan says:

    the Hyatt headquarters wasn’t actually the Hyatt headquarters, but a Hilton headquarters only masquerading as a Hyatt headquarters. Chuck Norris was so angry at the deception that he..

  637. BOShappyflyer says:

    the cat nervously crouched under the corner of a desk, fearful what may happen next…

  638. Dan says:

    Chuck Norris was so angry that he became a cat again, and he hid under the corner of the desk.

  639. Antwoinne says:

    As Chuck Norris the cat was throwing his temper tantrum he had a nightmare about these missing points, and jumped up hitting his head and screamed “Me-Owwwwwww” as an enormous….

  640. Dan says:

    new Chase British-American-Asian-Australian credit card with 0% APR for 10 years, no foreign transaction fee, unlimited first class lounge access and 5 bazillion points upon application approval offer emerged.

  641. goheerow says:

    Everyone was in awe and quite shocked. One by one they started to…

  642. Gary Steiger says:

    apply for the card. But….

  643. Dan says:

    all of them got denied because they didn’t have the required credit score of 1000

  644. nulle says:

    However to each who applied and denied got a Chase 4-continent card having powers making the cardholder ireesistible to the opposite sex.

  645. Jnk says:

    It gave off an odor that attracted many.

  646. Bob says:

    flies, mosquitoes, yellow jackets and pterodactyls-
    all very hungry for human flesh

  647. Dan says:

    Good thing the cat wasn’t human, so none of them touched him.

  648. Kathy Luman says:

    Scratching my head wondering what to do.

  649. Dan says:

    Meanwhile, at the Vatican, the Pope was on his royal toilet trying to squeeze out a big dump when..

  650. Dukenilnil says:

    His phone rang.

  651. Simpson says:

    You want me to do what ???

  652. Dan says:

    It was one of his Bishops who wanted help concealing some very disturbing criminal offenses of a devious nature against little boys.

  653. sheryl cullum says:

    But definity a job to be handled very carefully.

  654. Dan says:

    Handled so well that even the authorities were not informed.

  655. Brian says:

    A top secret mission.

  656. paul v says:

    Top Secret Mission… SOOO secret that even the agents involved were given no details ….

  657. Island Goddess says:

    God, what now???

  658. Bob says:

    So, God said let’s try a new mission based on love, understanding, gratitude and true enjoyment.
    And the humans replied:

  659. James says:

    Humans replied: Sounds like a great idea! Where do we start?

  660. Bob says:

    You start in your heart.
    That’s where love, peace, understanding and happiness are found.

  661. Don G says:

    “That is your mantra for your cover in the Cult” says the agents handler.

  662. Terry says:

    Executives from Fox studios were called to the scene.

  663. KTR says:

    Only it took them forever to arrive. For some reason, their flight went through a bunch of random cities and nobody could figure out why. Or could they…

  664. Leonard says:

    Every time I see that airport I get happy

  665. Brandon says:

    After many layovers and one open jaw the Fox News executives finally made it to the scene. They had to run to avoid the lightning bolts crashing down all around them…

  666. Tom says:

    The mission had begun.

  667. Scott says:

    Well, actually, the mission began over a week ago. Nonetheless…

  668. Jnk says:

    Thy looked to their heart and decided

  669. Dan says:

    they decided that this mission sucks so they all flew back home.

  670. Bob says:

    and lived happily ever after………….
    Except one day one of them had this desire to tell a story
    and so it all starts again and again and again………….

  671. Glen says:

    Starting his Peruvian adventure, and having taken the one-hour morning flight from Lima to Cusco, Scott was having trouble adjusting to the 11,000-ft elevation, breathing heavily as he tried to make his way to his hotel.

  672. Silvia says:

    His first stop was for some Coca tea.

  673. Scott says:

    As well as more Makers Mark

  674. Jnk says:

    He thought, “I’ll just put coca leaves in my Makers”.

  675. Tom says:

    It tasted delicious.

  676. Silvia says:

    And it helping my headache.

  677. goheerow says:

    He took another sip and thought…

  678. Scott says:

    “I want to go home.”

  679. Tom says:

    But he couldn’t remember where home was anymore.

  680. Scott says:

    Oh yeah, it was in Paducah.

  681. Nicole says:

    How long and daunting of a trip it would be to return to Paducah.

  682. Scott says:

    His mind started to wander thinking about strawberries from around that area of Kentucky and…

  683. Tom says:

    bourbon, Makers to be exact.

  684. Scott says:

    Yeah Makers. And his worsening case of cirrhosis.

  685. dwh says:

    He thought fondly of his home down and started missing his mommy.

  686. Jnk says:

    Because she always had a large amount of Makers on hand.

  687. Dan says:

    While thinking about the Makers his mom had, a comet suddenly slammed into Paducah and killed Scott in an instant. Meanwhile, his mom

  688. Steelsnow says:

    was wondering what the heck kept happening to Scott in these stories….. But was thankful he had 9 lives and a large balance on AwardWallet to use on their next vacation together.

  689. Scott says:

    Anyway, so he poured another on the rocks.

  690. Authorsaurous says:

    Which by the way he got free by using his AMEX Membership Rewards points. As he entered his daily stupor he stared at his AwardWallet points as they continued to dwindle from his continual exchange for more Makers. He asked himself “should I switch to a cheaper brand? “But what would mom think?” Would she ever allow him to visit again? Such questions haunted him that night as he drifted off. Then, with a loud bang………..

  691. Bender says:

    Suddenly the older man’s voiceover stopped because Fred Savage asked another question about the story. Everyone watching wished Fred would just go to bed already.

  692. Lauren says:

    He then poured yet another on the rocks

  693. Bender says:

    while pouring it he noticed something moving under the skin on his arm. could it be

  694. Steelsnow says:

    that he was getting varicose veins from drinking all of this MM?

  695. Dan says:

    a new form of life?

  696. Dan says:

    Sadly, Scott’s veins burst which caused him to die. He didn’t have 9 lives after all, just that last one he spent. Scott’s son however, Sean Scanner, was alive and well. His first course of action was

  697. Bender says:

    To finish crawling out if dads arm in an odd molting form of mutation. The alcohol had formed Sean, a newer breed of

  698. Dan says:

    genetically altered super zombie were-bunny bent on world domination.

  699. Nicole says:

    Sean was ready to go out and live the life he’d always wanted to live.

  700. Dan says:

    Until he died of a heart attack. His sister, Susan Scanner, decided to continue on his legacy, vowing revenge on whatever causes heart attacks.

  701. irene says:

    Unbeknownst to her, she was the cause…

  702. Steelsnow says:

    Don King’s really large hair back in the 80s…. Something to do with static.

  703. Stubtify says:

    But the static had a unknown side effect that was usefull

  704. Tom says:

    The heart disease was unfortuinatly genetic and Susan’s heart also exploded. The Scanner family was now gone.

  705. Steelsnow says:

    Meanwhile, back in his basement after having earned the secret Hyatt status zirconium from accruing 4,532,333 nights before the plane circling the international date line ran out of fuel, Frequent Miler was working on a new plan to earn points and miles world domination….

  706. Tom says:

    He realized someone was following him trying to steal his valuable ideas. It was none other than…

  707. Steelsnow says:

    Scooby Doo

  708. Tom says:

    Scooby as usual was stoned out of his mind and demanding Scooby snacks.

  709. MR H says:

    …but there were no snacks in sight. Scooby got sidetracked writing a complaint to Delta for this terrible inconvenience. For which he could expect 10k RDM minimum. So FrequentMiler got back to his plan.

  710. Tom says:

    But was again interrupted by…

  711. Jnk says:

    A football team

  712. Dan says:

    Frequent Miler backed off and went home where he experienced first hand a home invasion. The intruders stole all his things and stabbed him to death in the process.

  713. Mike says:

    Then God came to him and said “youve been good, I will grant you life or……”

  714. Jnk says:

    Let someone else be put on earth who has a story to tell

  715. Mike says:

    And the person he chose was….

  716. Gary Steiger says:

    Ollie, who then started the story we are reading now.

  717. Bender says:

    the saga continued…

  718. Gary Steiger says:

    It was another dark and stormy night.

  719. KTR says:

    Hell had frozen over and the Detroit Lions had won the Super Bowl.

  720. dwh says:

    Frank was driving down the road in his 1957 Chevy convertible. Unfortunately, the top didn’t go up anymore. He was getting soaked, and he could barely see the road in front of him.

  721. Gary Steiger says:

    And then suddenly…

  722. Jnk says:

    Suddenly a deer ran out in the road.

  723. Tom says:

    Out jumped a lion, in Detroit. The irony.

  724. Gary Steiger says:

    The lion was chasing the deer, of course, because he was hungry.

  725. Tom says:

    But this was no regular deer. No it was half unicorn half Bambi offspring.

  726. Gary Steiger says:

    But the lion didn’t care. He was hungry because he hadn’t won enough football games recently. Or perhaps tha was the other way around – he hadn’t won enough football games recently because he hadn’t been eating well.

  727. Tom says:

    The famished lion was no match for the super powered deer who stomped the lions until innards covered his neon glowing hooves

  728. Gary Steiger says:

    Football scouts from all over the U.S. noticed this. They wanted genetic samples of the deer for purposes of breeding better football players.

  729. Tom says:

    Many football scouts tried their luck only to end up worse than the lion.

  730. Gary Steiger says:

    Which, or course, is easy to do.

  731. Tom says:

    The Detroit street were running red with scouts blood.

  732. Steelsnow says:

    And in the distance…..

  733. Tom says:

    a bird, a plane? No it was….

  734. Steelsnow says:

    Mrs. Butterworth?

  735. nulle says:

    Or is it Mr. Clean in a corset?

  736. Bender says:

    The shining bulb quickly approaching turned out to be something much more intriguing then Mr. Clean’s bulbous shining head. It was…

  737. Gary Steiger says:

    The headlight of the refueled flying Hyatt Hotel.

  738. Bender says:

    Frank was perplexed, “How could such a nice hotel have just one headlight?”

  739. Sue S says:

    He couldn’t possibly figure out the reason.

  740. Jnk says:

    Until he realized it was a cyclops headlight.

  741. Steelsnow says:

    With a flying luxury hotel, you know it’s flying IVR…. Don’t even ask where the pilot is sitting!

  742. Gary Steiger says:

    But the pilot saw the dead deer, and acting on the instructions of the hotel chef …

  743. JD D says:

    Smashed the hotel’s only headlight. The glass shattered like…

  744. Gary Steiger says:

    smashed headlight. He he smashed it because on a dark and stormy night, it was useless, especially since there was only one. Because of the bad lighting, he had mistaken a dead lion for a dead deer.

  745. Dan says:

    Meanwhile, in Florida, Mitt Romney the Mormon won the primary which caused Newt Gringrich the adulterer to fume in anger.

  746. Jnk says:

    The pilot set the hotels path towards Florida

  747. Mike says:

    Then suddenly the pilot was surrounded by f-16 fighter jets.

  748. Dan says:

    Which shot at him furiously, causing his plane to crash. He survived the crash, but the sharks in the water got to him.

  749. sheryl cullum says:

    Then out of nowhere came a boat and scared the sharks away.

  750. MR H says:

    It was a 44′ Fountain…mmm

  751. Dan says:

    Although not before the sharks tore him up inside out. The captain of the boat was none other than the infamous Captain Ahab, on the hunt for Moby Dick.

  752. Gary Steiger says:

    But little did the captain know that Moby was the whale who swallowed the bottle and was killed by the Japanese whalers.

  753. Dan says:

    Realizing that Moby was there no more, Ahab figured there was no more reason for his existence. In old-fashioned Japanese style, he committed seppukku with a short dagger, asking his first mate to cut off his head.

  754. MikelinTN says:

    The first mate complied, but only after he finished playing another game of Angry Birds.

  755. Tom says:

    Ahab’s head went flying and was adrift in the smooth currents of the ocean, just as he would have wanted. A seagull flew by and dropped a load on it.

  756. Terry says:

    Messy and wet.

  757. Tom says:

    It was an angry bird plop.

  758. Brian says:

    crows came out of nowhere and started munching on the head.

  759. Bender says:

    Pieces of the flying Hyatt magically reassembled on the ocean floor. This Hyatt now had the largest swimming pool

  760. Tom says:

    Ahab’s first mate threw the crows some Alka-Seltzer which they ate and exploded.

  761. Steelsnow says:

    The Hyatt now strangely resembled the lost city of Atlantis, at the bottom of the ocean….. With the world’s largest infinity pool!

  762. MR H says:

    And then a suckerfish came and ate the whole city.

  763. Tom says:

    The Hyatt had made a terrible decision hiring the suckerfish as the doorman.

  764. Steelsnow says:

    From eating that much, the suckerfish got one awful case of indigestion…

  765. Tom says:

    And eventually exploded.

  766. Jnk says:

    Parts flew everywhere.

  767. Dan says:

    Causing a nearby squid to be hit in the eye by flying pieces of raw suckerfish. The squid was furious!

  768. In His Service says:

    But all was not lost.

    “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

  769. Dan says:

    “and all the people said, Amen.”

  770. KathyK says:

    and she rolled her eyes, said “c’est la vie” and skipped out of the room.

  771. Bender says:

    The squid’s rage caused him to turn green and grow exponentially in size

  772. melissAA says:

    ..and on this dark and blustery night – the plane appeared out of nowhere…

  773. Jnk says:

    And narrowly missed the squid.

  774. Sue S says:

    Unfortunately, the whale was not so lucky.

  775. Tom says:

    The giant squid grabbed the low flying plane out of the sky and smashed it into the ocean. There was only one survivior.

  776. Henry says:

    Who, through skill and dexterity, successfully managed to use his seat as a flotation device.

  777. Tom says:

    The squid did not like survivors so went on the offensive.

  778. Gary Steiger says:

    The survivor was the cat, saying 1 life down, 8 to go.

  779. sheryl cullum says:

    Fred who was the captains cook survived which is funny really seeing as he lost his shoes & dentures in the attack.

  780. Kathy Luman says:

    Can you imagine Fred surviving of all people.

  781. Tom says:

    But the survival was short lived as the giant squid devoured him instantly.

  782. Sue S says:

    The squid then looked around, wondering what he could go after next.

  783. Tom says:

    The Iranians heard about the threat of the giant squid and decided the try out their newly made atomic bomb. The bomb was made from faulty directions and the explosion was more than antcipated, destroying the entire world and all living things.

  784. Sue S says:

    The squid somehow managed to survive and ended up landing on Mars.

  785. Jnk says:

    At this point the squid realized how amazing he was.

  786. Tom says:

    The pressure from outerspace crushed the squids insides. he was not so amazing anymore

  787. Gary Steiger says:

    Until he realized that there are no airlines or Hyatts on Mars, thus no miles or points. Bummer.

  788. Tom says:

    Super bummer.

  789. Gary Steiger says:

    There wasn’t much air, either. But then, being an underwater creature, the squid didn’t need much air. But, also, being an underwater creature, he needed liquid water. Oops.

  790. Tom says:

    His dead body was then smashed by a passing meteor.

  791. Gary Steiger says:

    On that meteor was — the cat, now with only 8 lives left.

  792. Tom says:

    A comet smashed the cat…7 lives.

  793. dwh says:

    He was this time wearing a hat. He was, The Cat in the Hat. And he was pissed the meteor had no door mat.

  794. Gary Steiger says:

    The cat was not very good at math.

  795. Tom says:

    But he was gud at spellins

  796. Sue S says:

    An alien came over to inspect the squid’s remains.

  797. Gary Steiger says:

    But the cat had already eaten them.

  798. varun says:

    Alien called up to its home base to find more info on the squid

  799. Gary Steiger says:

    The response was the anything a cat would eat would be of no interest to the aliens.

  800. Nicole says:

    but was the response right???

  801. Sue S says:

    But the first alien was of a different opinion.

  802. Jnk says:

    He felt there was something special about this squid

  803. Bob says:

    in London it was worth a quid

  804. Steelsnow says:

    so on ebay it put in a bid…

  805. Dan says:

    He packed it in a jar and closed the lid.

  806. Jen says:

    and said, “yes I did!”

  807. Dan says:

    Upon a high shelf was the jar hid.

  808. mike says:

    then into bed, he slid.

  809. Kathy Luman says:

    Having visions running through his head.

  810. Dan says:

    Choked on his saliva, which caused the coroner to pronounce him dead.

  811. Steelsnow says:

    ‘Can Dan do stuff other than make things die?’ he said.

  812. Simpson says:

    Hurry! Kill it with fire!!

  813. Sue S says:

    And an investigation he led.

  814. Tom says:

    He thought long and hard using his head.

  815. Sue S says:

    Then he got hungry, so his stomach he fed.

  816. MR H says:

    MMM Biscoff, he said!

  817. Bender says:

    suddenly the sky turned a blistering red

  818. Dan says:

    Arose from the ground, the legions of undead.

  819. Tom says:

    They attacked the living till the streets ran with red.

  820. Bender says:

    the cat was so frightened all his hair he did shed

  821. MR H says:

    then he went transatlantic on a nice LX flat bed

  822. Tom says:

    But the zombies didnt stop, they must be fed

  823. mike says:

    but an unexpected hero rose, a young Lad…
    his name was Fred..
    his weapon of choice……

  824. Bob says:

    the bolster pillow from his bed

  825. Jnk says:

    He grabbed it and fled.

  826. Bob says:

    down the stairs and into his hiding place at Club Med

  827. Tom says:

    the terrible thoughts he was having he did indeed dread.

  828. mike says:

    out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a sled.
    took the blades off it and hit a zombie, it bled.

  829. Bob says:

    until after his meal he felt well fed
    especially with all that delicious bread
    so onto another adventure he felt himself led
    no longer worrying about the wife he just wed
    “I’ll find myself a way to win a nook to be read”
    “No matter what scary tales lie ahead”

  830. Jnk says:

    He then realized the wife he just wed,
    Was a flight attendant wearing red.

  831. Bob says:

    Oh no, forgot to check her sched
    thought she was still at home in bed

  832. Tom says:

    After his first kill he got lots of street cred

  833. Gary Steiger says:

    And lots of this from his neighbors: dread

  834. Tom says:

    So he killed them all instead.

  835. Bob says:

    Just then he arose from under his spread
    And realized his dreams had now fled
    Thank God, I didn’t kill anyone dead
    My dreams sure did have me misled

  836. Sue S says:

    Then he got tired of rhyming and decided to get back on track.

  837. Bob says:

    At least until he fell flat on his back

  838. Gary Steiger says:

    At least in this story rhymes do not lack,
    because some of it writers have the knack.

  839. Bob says:

    And some of this story’s writers many miles do rack
    So they can fly free to and back
    Luxury accommodations they do not lack
    Ease in finding a place to hit the sack
    So, let’s give a cheer for all who give rhyming a crack
    And be grateful for all tips shared with this pack

  840. Gary Steiger says:

    But perhaps we should get off of this rhyming track
    And get this story back into its original whack.

  841. Jnk says:

    But then it all went black.

  842. Bob says:

    Could some anti-milepointers have gone on attack?
    Someone trying to force this thread on a new tack?
    What must we do to get our story back?
    We need someone with a miles and points knack.

  843. Steelsnow says:

    with a knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone, this little kitty went strutting home.

  844. Bob says:

    then back to the web to discover more ways to garner more miles and points for more trips on more airlines to more hotels with more status……………

  845. Jnk says:

    But the web had disappeared.

  846. Dan says:

    He found the right tool, the perfect apparatus.

  847. Bob says:

    Frequent Miler’s perpetual point tool was posting pointers

  848. Dan says:

    On credit card churning and tips for frequent fliers.

  849. mike says:

    He got tired of all the miles and points and decided to go to Vegas.

  850. sheryl cullum says:

    Got himdelf the best room in the house and them decked himself out for a night of fun….

  851. Dan says:

    Until he got too stoned and drunk that he killed himself, with one bullet in a gun.

  852. MR H says:

    And he exploded, like everything else in this story.

  853. Dan says:

    Indeed he would, what good would it be if the tale were not gory?

  854. Laura says:

    But a maid came into his room and found a suicide note.

  855. Tom says:

    And from it she read this quote.
    “I’m sorry but I have to gloat.
    I’ve traveled the entire world for free by airplane, train and boat.
    The excitment of travels have kept my life afloat.
    Now that I’ve seen it all there is nothing more to promote.
    To my friend Frank I leave my mountain goat.
    To my sister I leave my hooded coat.
    And to my mother I leave the last of my federal reserve notes.
    Please do not misquote.”
    These were the last words that he wrote.

  856. Anna says:

    The maid folded the note into a tiny square and hid it in her pocket.

  857. Tanya says:

    She didn’t know what to do.

  858. Sue S says:

    She called up her good friend Lucy.

  859. Tom says:

    Lucy told her to rip throught the pockets of the dead man and take all valuables. Which she did only to find nothing but lint.

  860. Jnk says:

    But it was golden lint.

  861. mike says:

    and with that golden lint, she decided to see if she can trade up and eventually get a house.

  862. Tom says:

    A boat house.

  863. Ian says:

    The maid then realized there was a babrely legible sentence on the bottom of the suicide note. She was sure it was worth its weight in gold but didn’t understand what it meant: NYC-SIN $500 ai (CPM $0.035)

  864. Jnk says:

    She opened up her Frequent flyer dictionary that she handily brought that day.

  865. mike says:

    and noticed, that she was in Africa and this deal didn’t pertain to her. So she signed up for 13 credit cards in one day.

  866. Tom says:

    Her credit score shot down 80 points.

  867. Sue S says:

    Just kidding! She was smart to do it all in one day, so her credit score was barely affected.

  868. Tom says:

    She maxed out all the cards and was so distaught by her choices she jumped off the Willis Tower.

  869. Bob says:

    and into the waiting arms of our new heroine,
    Fantastic Francine the Frequent Flyer For Free

  870. Tom says:

    Francine was a heavy smoker.

  871. dwh says:

    She smoked weed every day. And loved it.

  872. Tom says:

    She stayed higher than the planes she flew in.

  873. mike says:

    until one day, a plane landed on her head

  874. Bob says:

    don’t worry, it was her nephew’s 9 inch toy plane with remote control

  875. Tom says:

    She was too high to get out of the way.

  876. Sue S says:

    F5 was a wonderful, patient woman.

  877. Bob says:

    until her nephew tried to fly his plane into her nostril.
    Then she

  878. Sue S says:

    got so enraged that her red hair turned into whips of fire. she used one to pull the airplane away and crash it and another to

  879. Kathy Luman says:

    toss her nephew half way around the world. Who knew she

  880. Sue S says:

    had that much power in a strand! she marveled at her newfound strength, thinking of all the fun things she could do.

  881. Dan says:

    One day, she took it too far and her body exploded. She died with no chance of bringing her back to life.

  882. canucklehead says:

    Just like that MD80!

  883. Orlando R. says:

    Until one day, with a look of disbelief…

  884. canucklehead says:

    the MD80 engine started again!

  885. Michael says:

    Of course that lady

  886. MR H says:

    whose name was Kady

  887. Steelsnow says:

    said what if I owned all of the ice in Iceland?

  888. Dan says:

    This lady who’s name was Kady then decided to go and find out. She bought all the ice from Iceland and dug into it and became hypothermic and DIED.

  889. Dan says:

    But at least she was happy.

  890. Dan says:

    She was happy when she was still alive. Not anymore though. Corpses don’t have emotions.

  891. MR H says:

    Then Al Gore was right and all ice melted, She UNFROZE!!!

  892. Dan says:

    She unfroze just as the Iranian military were testing some nukes on the area. She didn’t get hit directly by the nukes, but she did die from the radiation.

  893. MR H says:

    But we believe in reincarnation, and she came back as a…

  894. clynsg says:

    …shapeshifter who had to decide on her preferred shape. She was able to choose between forms she remembered from her past life, or even to design her own, as long as she kept within the mass requirements of the body.

  895. MR H says:

    No wait, she came back as something REAL. A lovely dove.

  896. Jnk says:

    But then the dove ate rice and exploded.

  897. Dan says:

    The rice had magical properties that stopped the ones who eat it from using their reincarnation powers.

  898. Jnk says:

    Next to the explosion remains was a movie star.

  899. Dan says:

    This movie star’s name was Tom Cruise. A man of ambiguous sexual orientation and of questionable religious beliefs.

  900. Patty Hasbargen says:

    There was that feeling of familiarity again.

  901. Laura Lambie says:

    Wait, I think I was already reincarnated in this form before.

  902. mike says:

    Then Whoopie Goldberg showed up and gave her a

  903. Dan says:

    a well deserved wedgie.

  904. Bob says:

    Fortunately at this point in the story, Frequent Miler intervened with even more prizes – $25 Kiva certificates – which allow the recipient to make loans to people in Tajikistan, Philippines, Senegal, Costa Rica and dozens of other countries. And what’s great about these people is that they are extremely unlikely to blow up because they have their own fascinating stories, like………

  905. David says:

    The time that they were given thousands of nooks as gifts, but then they blew up.

  906. Paul says:

    But due to one faulty Nook, the new CEO of Barnes & Noble, Ben Evolence, gave away thousands of Nooks!

  907. Mark says:

    But when he woke up…

  908. Island Goddess says:

    The Nook became a book about the Cat in the Hat.

  909. Steelsnow says:

    And while reading the Nook, the Cat in the Hat ordered breakfast – a large order of green eggs and ham.

  910. Dan y says:

    And so he ate and ate and ate to his stomach’s delight until his face turned green.

  911. Bob says:

    and the moral of this story is…………..

  912. Steelsnow says:

    and then he heard a ‘hooooo…..’ from the direction of Kalamazoo……

  913. Bob says:

    where Frequent Miler was in hiding because the Ann Arbor police wanted him for questioning in his latest card caper

  914. Nicole says:

    what exactly was this card caper may you ask? well…

  915. Steelsnow says:

    you might ask what the furthest distance one can currently ‘fly’…. And how can miles be earned from it.

  916. Bob says:

    he started trading gift cards for old baseball cards. But the ones he traded for were the old ones from the 50s and 60s which traded with bubble gum. so, Frequent Miler soon found himself in a very sticky situation………….

  917. Steelsnow says:

    then he remembered the extremely cold temperatures at high altitude during past flights… if he could get the cards cold enough, he could freeze the gum adhesive stuck to the cards and knock it off, and earn massive miles!

  918. Brad says:

    So, off he went to his computer to search for his options. Should he book with cash or miles, he wondered..

  919. Jnk says:

    He started his computer excited to start the search

  920. Dan says:

    when his computer exploded. Killing him instantly. That is why James Bond had to continue his story.

  921. Bob says:

    Bond noted “there seems to be a lot of explosions, death and reincarnation in this story.” Kind of hard to develop a story line when everyone disappears before they have any action. Maybe we need a dull story about piano lessons…..
    Once upon a time…….

  922. Laura Lambie says:

    there was a boy who wanted to play the piano at Carneige Hall

  923. Jason says:

    but he was given a guitar instead.

  924. Laura Lambie says:

    so he decided to make the best of it and took lessons to learn how to play rock music

  925. Jimgotkp says:

    but he was an epic failure.

  926. Laura Lambie says:

    After many years of trying he pursued another goal in his life which was……………….

  927. Andy says:

    which means he couldn’t win a Nook…

  928. Laura Lambie says:

    but that didn’t deter him,he went to ___________

  929. Jnk says:

    He realized he was tone deaf and needed to pick a new career. He chose garbage man.

  930. Chris says:

    said the Magical Flying Walrus, ‘you must find a way to travel to the snowy North and there you will learn to play the keyboard guitar.’

  931. Laura Lambie says:

    He said how will I ever find my way and who do I see when I get to the snowy North?

  932. Dan says:

    before the Magical Flying Walrus could answer, a homicidal wild man arrived with a serrated dagger and repeatedly stabbed the boy. He bled to death right then and there.

  933. Laura Lambie says:

    BUT WAIT, it was a mistake by the paramedics, he miraculously started breathing.

  934. Dan says:

    Everyone rejoiced in the miracle when suddenly, out of nowhere, the vengeful wild man appeared and delivered a killing blow to the boy in the chest directly where his heart is. He also massacred the paramedics and kept an eye on the dead corpse of the boy to make sure he wouldn’t live again.

  935. Laura Lambie says:

    Suddenly the boys spirit emerged from his body and——–

  936. MR H says:

    and then —

  937. Steelsnow says:

    he decided to write a points and miles blog from a place where even Dan couldn’t find him and kill him….

  938. Dan says:

    Dan couldn’t kill him, but the deranged wild man certainly could. He killed himself so he too would be a spirit, and quickly followed the boy into the afterlife, always on the hunt, so that he would never be able to write his story.

  939. Laura Lambie says:

    But alas the deranged wild mans plan failed, his spirit went to Hell and the boys spirit was in Heaven where the deranged man could never get to him.

  940. Dan says:

    Good thing the boy wasn’t a Christian, so he was sent to hell too for having impure thoughts. He ended up with the wild man anyway.

  941. Laura Lambie says:

    While in Hell the boy found out that the wild man couldn’t stand his singing, so whenever he seen the wild man he started to sing, which drove the wild man into the deeper pits of Hell, and he was never seen or heard from again.

  942. mike says:

    but not before Dan slipped and fell on his head. Causing him to go to the hospital where he met a cute guy and found out he was gay.

  943. Dan says:

    This cute guy’s name was Mike. Unlike Dan, Mike never fell on his head and was actually gay ever since he could remember. He wasn’t interested in Dan when he could have many other hot guys he could chase.

  944. mike says:

    (I knew you would write that! haha)

    So now Mike went online to see what other credit cards he can sign up for since his last signup was 3 months ago.
    He read that the cards best for him right now were…

  945. Dan says:

    (Bet you didn’t know I’d write THIS)
    unavailable to gay people. He was pretty upset. Suddenly, Dan, angry that Mike rejected him, appeared from behind and chopped him in half from head to groin.

  946. mike says:

    Then Dan looked startled! There’s no BLOOD!! This is a mannequin!! Mike comes out of the shadows behind Dan and chops him up with Dan’s own weapon! Afterwards, he checks Dan’s DNA, fingerprints, dental records, blood type, pupil patterns and it’s a 100% match.

  947. Dan says:

    Mike, being so happy with himself, forgot to count “Dan’s” chromosomes. A normal human being would have 23 pairs, but Dan actually has 23.5 pairs(because he’s awesome). It turns out the man he killed was actually Dan’s less awesome clone. Mike’s eyes grew wide open in disbelief, and from the sky came Dan in a glider with a Samurai sword, cutting Mike in half.

  948. mike says:

    But even though Dan is supposedly “awesome” with 23.5 pairs, he forgot to even check Mike’s DNA!!!!
    That was Mike’s AI! Mike comes out of the ground and rips him apart with a chainsaw!

  949. Dan says:

    With his body mangled and feeling hopeless, Dan uttered the magic words to complete his transformation. He was reborn into a GOD!! Not caring what Mike would do anymore(because he’s just a mere mortal), Dan ascended into Olympus and ruled the world from his throne.

  950. Denny says:

    A loud buzzing sound stuck in his ear, it was his alarm clock. He awoke from this long and drawn out dream with just enough time to get ready for work that morning and to live happily ever after. The End.

  951. Dan says:

    and the alarm clock DIED. The end.

  952. Bob says:

    Meanwhile, back at Frequent Miler headquarters, it was time to get the kid to school. Trudging off thru snow and icy winds, Frequent Miler said, “it’s time for us to take a vacation where it’s warm. Let’s go to……”

  953. Sue S says:

    The Gili Islands! A backpacker haven, but very cost friendly and with unbeatable scenery.

  954. MR H says:

    But can frequent miler figure out how to get there with miles/…

  955. Terry says:

    And so it all began again.

  956. Sue S says:

    First he sat down and calculated his available miles.

  957. Laura Lambie says:

    He found out that he had enough miles to go anywhere in the world , so he decided to go to———

  958. Tom says:

    the Jersey Shore

  959. Sue S says:

    The Gili Islands. He then had to decide which airline to fly, and settled on…

  960. Tom says:

    Jet Blue. Which he boarded and took off in. Unfortunatly the plane malfunctioned and exploded mid flight killing everyone.

  961. Sue S says:

    However Frequent Flyer and his son were able to snag 2 parachutes and managed to safely land on…

  962. Tom says:

    A remote island. They were safe for only a short time as this island was inhabited by a human eating tribe. Both were cooked on the spit and eaten.

  963. Jnk says:

    However their spirits took over the men who ate them and thus their story continues.

  964. Dan says:

    Until Iran sent a nuclear bomb to the area, killing the men.

  965. Tom says:

    Infact the bomb was so large it melted every living creature on Earth.

  966. Phil Gold says:

    or did it? Just then, FF noticed

  967. Tom says:

    Yes it did.

  968. Sue S says:

    That although his body was destroyed, he could still think and feel. In fact, he could also communicate with his son, FF mini!

  969. mike says:

    FF mini has only 1 leg

  970. Laura Lambie says:

    However, he was able to grow another leg, and was able to swim away from the island and went to——-

  971. Jnk says:

    Madagascar

  972. Tom says:

    Where they chopped off both of his legs and arms and used his torso as a target for shooting practice.

  973. Kenneth says:

    Throughout the night, the remains were memorialized by a prayer ceremony and set ablaze, but before the natives could offer the ashes to the ocean, a cyclone appeared in the water just as the sun nipped the horizon.

  974. Tom says:

    The ashes flew everywhere never to be seen again.

  975. Steelsnow says:

    With frightening speed…

  976. Scott says:

    …he tied both of his shoes in double knots.

  977. Tom says:

    But who was he?

  978. Steelsnow says:

    and took one giant flying leap…

  979. Jnk says:

    Into the unknown

  980. Scott says:

    but his shoes came off again

  981. Jnk says:

    As he was flying in the unknown he thought “Tie your shoes George.”

  982. Dan says:

    and he died because he was shoeless.

  983. Scott says:

    again, floating dead in space.

  984. Sue S says:

    Isn’t it amazing how our characters keep dying and coming back to life?! This time was no exception…

  985. Tom says:

    Then his dead body exploded.

  986. Laura Lambie says:

    but it was a case a mistaken identity, it wasn’t him, it was his long lost identical twin.

  987. Tom says:

    Since the twin are eternially connected he also exploded, just much more violently.

  988. Scott says:

    including his shoes

  989. Ben says:

    Most interesting!

  990. Tom says:

    A chicken was crossing the road…

  991. Scott says:

    and lost his hat.

  992. Sue S says:

    But held tight to the matching cane!

  993. Steelsnow says:

    and on the other side…

  994. Laura Lambie says:

    of the road was another chicken who was able to talk and asked “why does everyone keep dying/”

  995. Steelsnow says:

    And the first chicken yelled ‘Duck!’……
    as, well, a large Mallard flew over, of course!

  996. Matthew says:

    If She said “Come”, I’d be in Standby tonight

  997. Gary Steiger says:

    And then this saga lost most of its readership, because it had become too morbid.

  998. Steelsnow says:

    From the readership, a strong accent was heard….’Tis a shame’, said a man called Shamus ‘That we couldn’t be gittin back to havin a travel related adventure since that is what we are all ‘ere for….leave the video game violence ‘ere it belongs….’ and with that he raised his pint to the other readers and said ‘Are ye wid me!?’

  999. Sara says:

    For a moment there was silence and then…

  1000. Laura Lambie says:

    a big shout of Hooray! was heard throughout the land

  1001. Gary Steiger says:

    And then the cat came back.

  1002. MidTierStatus says:

    there was a new dawn.

  1003. Gary Steiger says:

    after a dark and stormy night.

  1004. Steelsnow says:

    That had involved several really large toasts with many different libations!

  1005. Gary Steiger says:

    Making that new dawn very bright indeed.

  1006. Kyle B says:

    Almost as bright as the shiny sunlight.

  1007. Dan says:

    and in this bright new dawn, somebody died..

  1008. Steelsnow says:

    This new day was bright indeed for Frequent Miler… He had masterminded a whole new level of mileage earning that involved Richard Branson’s space flight planecraft and Virgin Atlantic…. joining up with Star Alliance!

  1009. Scott M. says:

    The Alaska Airlines meal prayer cards

  1010. Jen says:

    Richard Branson convinced the executives to rename it the Galaxy Alliance.

  1011. Laura Lambie says:

    Only because he was the secret owner of Glaxy Alliance

  1012. Jnk says:

    But he told them that the Titanium Platinum Diamond members would get a week free on his island after flying 250,000,000 BIS miles.

  1013. Dan says:

    Suddenly a masked ninja arrived and shot a poisoned blowdart at Richard Branson before he could say more. He died a slow and agonizing death.

  1014. Tommy says:

    The super power of the Galaxy Alliance is that all the airlines’ website in this new alliance have the ability to view ALL availability award seats of all their partner airlines.

  1015. Dan says:

    That is, until the Shadow Dragon Clan, a group of highly skilled ninjas decided to destroy this newly created Galaxy Alliance. They invaded the headquarters and massacred everyone in it.

  1016. Laura Lambie says:

    But they missed one person who hid out in the Panic room and he was able to inform the police of all the members of the Shadow Dragon Clan.

  1017. mike says:

    then they found out that the leader of the clan was Bart from the Simpsons.

  1018. Steelsnow says:

    Once the Galaxy Alliance was created, Frequent Miler thought about using UR points to purchase a space flight…. but it was going to require Staples double-dip purchases of $10k x 10e14567… just a little more than Uncle Warren was willing to help with!

  1019. Dan says:

    Good thing one member of the Shadow Dragon Clan was hiding in THEIR panic room. He survived and managed to kill the Frequent Miler with a crossbow to the heart. He also cut off his head and ran an extensive DNA test to make sure it was him.

  1020. mike says:

    but he forgot Frequent Miler has 23.5 chromos due to being slightly more awesome than humans!
    He’s still alive!

  1021. Steelsnow says:

    …and thinking about how he could earn crazy miles by purchasing a coach ticket on the Galaxy Alliance space plane (nothing like speed and altitude to rack them up)… but the cost is one of those ‘if you have to ask, you can’t afford it’ propositions…

  1022. Gary Steiger says:

    He asked anyway, and…

  1023. mike says:

    the price was $1 billion dollars. But he was able to google a promo code and received a discount of..

  1024. Dan says:

    Got murdered by the angry security guard who was just nearby. The end.

  1025. Gary Steiger says:

    Most of the authors of this drama agreed to simply ignore all deaths and continue with the story.

  1026. Steelsnow says:

    .42 cents… thinking there had to be another way, Frequent Miler calculated how many gift cards he would have to churn if he could average $3.42 cents profit on each…

  1027. Gary Steiger says:

    and computed that he would have to live 400544.7408 years if he were to churn 2 a day. So, which offer was that that gave eternal life?

  1028. Steelsnow says:

    Or…. how could he churn those cards like a internet start-up on concentrated red bull? Pulling out his babushka hat, he snugged it onto his head and…no…. could it be? Frequent Miler was also Gift Card Granny!

  1029. Dan says:

    Until Gift Card Granny died of a stroke due to her diabetes which was caused by her cancer.

  1030. Laura Lambie says:

    Then Gift Card Granny came back to earth reincarnated as a cock roach.

  1031. Scott says:

    and a thirst that could only be quenched by Makers Mark.

  1032. Sue S says:

    She sipped on some Maker’s Mark, and she magically turned back into a human! She can’t die, folks!

  1033. Sara says:

    Remind me to always carry some Markers Mark around thought Granny

  1034. Tom says:

    But the Makers was spiked with arsenic. Granny passed away in a drunken drugged sleep. Granpa was sad and decided to..

  1035. mike says:

    There was a huge sale for Markers mark for $1 per 750ml bottles.

  1036. Sue S says:

    Granny then moved on to continue her quest, all the while wondering why Dan and Tom seemed so intent on killing her.

  1037. mike says:

    But quickly decided to ignore them since they try to kill everyone and forgot that this story was supposed to be clean as possible since the bloggers wife and kid will be adding to the story.

    She saw a great promo on BA site for Nordstrom 36pts/per $ spend and bought…

  1038. Steelsnow says:

    Granny figured that if she could make a small cut on every gift card churning points and miles addict, that she would be able to afford the world’s ‘highest flight…sometime around 2 years from now if Tom and Dan were only able to kill each other.

  1039. mike says:

    granny also decided that since summer is not too far away, she will have to start working out. so she joined a MMA club and met a trainer named…

  1040. Tom says:

    Boba Fett who trained her in art of the one punch kill. Granny soon became gluttonous with power and…

  1041. Jeff says:

    Tom Brady.

  1042. Steelsnow says:

    who had been a bit down in the dumper after the Snoozer Bowl over the weekend – but as he told Granny, then he had gone home to Gisele and…

  1043. Sue S says:

    baked cupcakes, which cheered him up. Meanwhile, Granny started buying all sorts of wonderful things from Nordstrom, including a fancy new suit for Tom Brady.

  1044. Steelsnow says:

    but those Avios she was going to earn were only going to work for One World… good to bank in AwardWallet, but they weren’t getting her closer to orbit…. so she

  1045. Sue S says:

    decided to take a vacation and think about it. She chose to travel to…

  1046. Dan says:

    Sri Lanka. She died of malaria and her corpse was eaten by ravenous beasts.

  1047. Tom says:

    The ravenous beasts were native to the land and ruled with an iron fist.

  1048. Sue S says:

    But the invincible Granny bounced back, heading to the wonderful beaches to relax and plan her next steps…

  1049. Tom says:

    Meanwhile back at the farm…

  1050. mike says:

    the smurfs were getting ready for a beautiful morning.
    papa smurf ordered everyone to do morning excerises by lifting…

  1051. Jnk says:

    Baby smurf.

  1052. Tom says:

    But Gargamel was lurking in the shadows.

  1053. mike says:

    because Gargamel wanted to exercise too. So so he grabbed Tom and Dan and started lifting them.

  1054. Jnk says:

    He lifted them up and threw them in blue paint.

  1055. mike says:

    and gave them each white caps to complete the “smurf” look.
    Tom and Dan was so happy that they held hands and started to skip, singing “la la la la la laaaa!!! la-la-la-la-la!!!” smurfs theme song.

  1056. Tom says:

    Tom pulled out his trusty bottle of Makers and shared with all in the smurf village. Papa Smurf was quite the drinker.

  1057. mike says:

    papa smurf started to share stories of his younger days where he was quiet the ladies man. Apparently, Papa smurf is Tom and dan’s real father!

  1058. Tom says:

    Tom and Dan rejoiced in this news as Papa Smurf was loaded and more than happy to share the wealth.

  1059. Sue S says:

    Which explained their diminutive statures and blue tinged complexions.

  1060. mike says:

    Now, only if they can solve the mystery of who the mother is!

  1061. Sue S says:

    Unfortunately they had no clue, so they decided to focus their attention on…

  1062. mike says:

    why they can’t seem to make a new account on BA.com

  1063. Nicole says:

    it was nearly impossible for them to figure it out, but they finally did…

  1064. Simpson says:

    ….. suddenly Keyboard Cat starts doin its thang and …

  1065. Jnk says:

    Since they were able to create their new account they decided to buy the entire village new clothes from Nordstrom.

  1066. Gary Steiger says:

    But the cat had other ideas.

  1067. Sue S says:

    everyone was so excited about their new stuff that they decided to give tom and dan…

  1068. Gary Steiger says:

    a deadly computer virus that killed both of them. The cat acted as consultant on this.

  1069. mike says:

    Then the cat ate all the foods in Toms and Dan’s frig.

  1070. Gary Steiger says:

    But his primary motivation was that he feared that with Tom and Dan participating in this story, he might run out of his remaining 7 lives more quickly than he would like.

  1071. Sue S says:

    So he quickly ran away from the scene of the crime.

  1072. Gary Steiger says:

    But not until he ate all the food, of course. After all, he is a cat.

  1073. Steelsnow says:

    and ran home to his owner, a certain granny…

  1074. Gary Steiger says:

    who praised him and gave him some catnip for his virus death ploy. Now she can enjoy reading the story again.

  1075. Jnk says:

    But wait Tom and Dan had anti-virus and returned. They headed toward the cat to

  1076. Laura Lambie says:

    show him what they thought of him and when Tom and Dan approached the cat they________________

  1077. Sue S says:

    tried to capture him but failed! granny grabbed cat and whisked them away to…

  1078. mike says:

    Bora Bora, where granny had booked reward nights over the water!! Unfortunately, the car wasn’t allowed in the resort! So, granny decided to…….

  1079. Eric says:

    Jetski all the way to Tahiti, since that is where her stash of cocaine was hidden.

  1080. Jnk says:

    On the way to Tahiti she saw talking dolphins.

  1081. jeff says:

    Out of the corner of here eye there was JCVD (Jean Claude Van Damme) sunbathing 10 yards away from here naked.

  1082. Rikki says:

    It was a glorious site.

  1083. Laura Lambie says:

    at the sight of JCVD, she forgot all about the talking dolphins, but they insisted that she listen to them and they told her____________

  1084. Jnk says:

    They were better than naked JCVD. They were not.

  1085. Oh! Wow its actually a comic and jockey YouTube video posted here. thanks for sharing it.

  1086. Jay says:

    But they wished they were

  1087. Jimgotkp says:

    at Bangkok enjoying a massage.

  1088. Jnk says:

    Across the ocean a man was swimming towards all of the action.

  1089. dan says:

    Keeping his head above water, he kept a steady pace.

  1090. Laura Lambie says:

    He was trying to reach Granny, for he too wanted to see JCVD

  1091. Dan says:

    but instead found a magnificent naked specimen. Dan. The heavens opened up and the angels sang praise of his glorious physique.

  1092. Steelsnow says:

    before he turned to ash from being in their sight, while granny kept zipping towards the shore, oblivious to it all.

  1093. Jnk says:

    Until he realized that he had beer goggles on and Dan was really a short, obese, wrinkly man.

  1094. Steelsnow says:

    As Granny got close to shore, Van Damme got up and yelled…

  1095. Joseph M says:

    Tequilla!!!!

  1096. mike says:

    So the Granny thought. Van damme actually said “There’s a shark behind ya!”

  1097. Steelsnow says:

    Sounds like Van Damme had hit some of Granny’s stash… So she high-tailed it to shore leaving the shark in the dust.

  1098. mike says:

    once she got to the shore, she found King Kong waiting for her and her that if she wanted to live, she has do a funky dance for him.

  1099. Dan says:

    She did the funky dance, but was killed by Kong anyway for being old and wrinkly.

  1100. mike says:

    Then Dan cried his heart out because that was his Granny.

  1101. Joyce says:

    Stunned, bleary-eyed Dan looked up to see Kong metamorphose into his beloved Granny!

  1102. Mike says:

    Then granny started to wonder into the forest where she decided to build a shelter and gather food.

  1103. sudhir says:

    But food could not be found; granny would have to grow the food. Wish Kong would help…

  1104. Dan says:

    King Kong’s less superior brother, Donkey Kong then decided to help granny. Before he could get to her, she tripped on a protruding tree root and pierced her heart on a stake. Miraculously, she survived and can now go on with whatever she has to do next.

  1105. Mike says:

    She started to wonder about and found a volleyball with a face drawn on it. Hmmm, this looks familiar, she thought.

  1106. heidi says:

    Wilson!! She shouted as the name of the familiar face came to mind.

  1107. Mike says:

    She caught some fish and sat Wilson down next to her as she began cooking her fish over open fire with some coconut water.

  1108. David says:

    She normally liked her fish fairly raw, but decided it might be smarter this time around to cook it pretty fully.

  1109. Laura Lambie says:

    She started thinking, I wish I had some fries with this, she looked around and seen_________________

  1110. Tom says:

    JCVD creeping up on her with a devious look.

  1111. mike says:

    potatoes and make some french fries using the fish oil.
    Later that night, she heard chanting coming from inside the woods.

  1112. Terry says:

    A look she had seen once before.

  1113. Sue S says:

    a giant pineapple. YUM, she thought.

  1114. mike says:

    so she started to venture into the woods to find the source of the chanting. In the distance, she saw a huge bonfire and people dancing around it.

  1115. Sue S says:

    I wonder what that could be, she thought as she slowly crept closer.

  1116. mike says:

    and closer….. and closer… until…

  1117. Sue S says:

    she found herself right up near the action, hiding behind a bush. she peered through the leaves and saw…

  1118. mike says:

    Gillian, Skipper, Ginger, the professor, and Maryanne!!

  1119. SBG says:

    She spotted the cause for their celebration. The 36x avois points offer had them dancing with their moves typically reserved for exit row space.

  1120. Tom says:

    She wondered how they would get the goods they ordered there.

  1121. mike says:

    it didn’t matter however, because they only wanted the avios points.

  1122. Sue S says:

    they wanted to book their next trip.

  1123. Tom says:

    As a group they decided on Amsterdam. Granny had a craving for some fuzzy green stuff.

  1124. Sue S says:

    so they nominated maryanne to handle the flight bookings.

  1125. Dan says:

    On the way to the morally bankrupt city, Granny died. Oh so sad. Now the saga continues with Gillian!

  1126. Tom says:

    Maryanne booked the flights with ease, although the others were very upset when they found she was the only one in flying in the front of the plane. So they…

  1127. Sue S says:

    They stopped in Granny’s hometown for the burial ceremony.

  1128. mike says:

    then carried onward with their journey. Once they arrived, they realized that they forgot to book hotels!

  1129. Sue S says:

    everyone panicked until maryanne said…

  1130. mike says:

    lets just camp in the streets!

  1131. Sue S says:

    no one particularly liked that idea.

  1132. mike says:

    but they had no other choice and started to make shelter out of cardboard boxes. Then a gentleman named Mike, saw them and booked suite rooms for each of them at the…

  1133. Sue S says:

    park hyatt, a lovely hotel in the center of town.

  1134. mike says:

    In the lobby of the lovely hotel, they met Sue S. and asked what she was doing here. She replied….

  1135. Simpson says:

    I’m movin with my auntie and uncle in Bel Air

  1136. mike says:

    Apparently Sue S. was drunk and didn’t understand what the question was. They went to their rooms and later Maryanne and Gillian went to the lobby for some drinks.

  1137. Sue S says:

    sadly they drank a little too much and…

  1138. mike says:

    decided to sneak off to the courthouse to get married.

  1139. Jnk says:

    Wouldn’t speak to her the whole trip and thus she missed out on the

  1140. mike says:

    onboard movie, playing “Decesdants”.

  1141. Tom says:

    Unfortunatly same sex marriage was still illegal so Gillian and Skipper were out of luck.

  1142. mike says:

    Good thing it wasn’t gillian and skipper that was getting married but Gillian and Maryanne. Once they arrived at the courthouse they received a call from Skipper asking…

  1143. Sue S says:

    where they’d gone. they told him…

  1144. Tom says:

    the bar.

  1145. mike says:

    strangely, maryanne and gillian wanted to keep their marriage a secret.

  1146. Sue S says:

    skipper wondered why they were being so secretive.

  1147. Kathy Luman says:

    His thoughts racing trough head of what is yet to become.

  1148. mike says:

    come to find out, maryanne and gillian are really cousins.

  1149. Tom says:

    They had no idea until years later when the baby they concieved came out with seven fingers and two tounges

  1150. Sue S says:

    But now we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Back to the day of the wedding…

  1151. mike says:

    Gillian gave her a tiffany ring and after the wedding, they got back to the rest of the crew and announced that they….

  1152. Tom says:

    loathe that drunk woman Sue they had met in the lobby of the Hyatt that night in Amsterdam. All agreed their new mission was to hunt and kill her at all costs, and so they set out on their journey.

  1153. mike says:

    as they were leaving, a strange weird and ugly guy bumped into them and started threatening them. His name was Tom. They beat the crap out of him and killed him… journey onward…

  1154. Tom says:

    They journeyed to the longest darkest bridge where they had been told Sue and her husband/brother Mike live under. Sure enough under the bridge in a dirt cave there sat two retched creatures, Mike and Sue. They were promptly slaughtered. It was a dark and stormy night..

  1155. mike says:

    They met a strange creature lurking in the dark. The creature kept whispering about some PRECIOUS ring.

  1156. Tom says:

    The crew was terrified and wanted to get out of there quickly and go to some place warm and sunny instead. They decided on…

  1157. mike says:

    Hawaii. They had to decide on which award miles to use and came on the decision of using…

  1158. Sue S says:

    so it was time for gillian and maryanne’s honeymoon! they traveled to…

  1159. mike says:

    hawaii with the rest of the crew…. but they still didn’t know which award miles to use for flight and hotel..

  1160. Jnk says:

    They found a secret website that allowed them to use all programs.

  1161. Gary Steiger says:

    They chose the Hawaiian Airlines miles they had obtained from the two credit card offers for that airline.

  1162. Tom says:

    They had extra Hawaiian miles left over so they transfered them over at a 1:2 ratio to Hilton for their stay.

  1163. mike says:

    The professor had gold status with Hilton, so he made sure he made all the reservations.

  1164. Sue S says:

    and booked a stay on a secret volcanic island.

  1165. mike says:

    That is where they met Dr. Evil from Austin Powers the movie.

  1166. Sue S says:

    Dr. Evil was singing with mini me.

  1167. John says:

    His singing wasn’t great

  1168. Gary Steiger says:

    But being in a happy vacation state of mind, they simply ignored all evil.

  1169. mike says:

    but still sang the song “just the two of us”

  1170. Tom says:

    After the singing they decided to hit the beach for some frisbee.

  1171. mike says:

    and played some volleyball

  1172. Tom says:

    and did some cornholing.

  1173. Sue S says:

    they were covered in sand.

  1174. mike says:

    Then started on a sand castle project.

  1175. Simpson says:

    …. and did some more corning.

  1176. Sue S says:

    they built for hours.

  1177. mike says:

    until the waves came in and destroyed the sand castle

  1178. Sue S says:

    so they started over.

  1179. mike says:

    by now it was getting late and too dark.

  1180. Simpson says:

    …. they spotted a bonfire!

  1181. mike says:

    “another one?” they thought.

  1182. Simpson says:

    they started to dismantle that flux capacitor they found while making sand castles …

  1183. mike says:

    but had trouble doing so. So they googled the instructions online.

  1184. Laura Lambie says:

    They by accident hit the wrong button on the flux capacitor before googling and went back into time to the
    1930′s where___________

  1185. mike says:

    they ran into Michael J. Fox

  1186. Laura Lambie says:

    and they asked Michael, do you have the DeLorean with you?

  1187. mike says:

    He replied “How do you know about the DeLorean?” and looked at the group suspiciously

  1188. Gary Steiger says:

    Michael said “Of course. I am sitting it, which is why I was not injured by the collision with the time travelers who ran into me.”

  1189. mike says:

    So Michael dialed Geico, his time traveling auto insurance. While that was going on, the group wanted to grab something to change into so they fit more in with the group.

  1190. Dan says:

    He accidentally grabbed a grenade. It exploded in his hand and he DIED. The end. Now our story is about the Geico Gecko. He is one cool gecko.

  1191. mike says:

    Gecko is cool indeed. However, the Gillians crew was walking through the 1930′s town. It was awesome just being able to experience it.

  1192. Dan says:

    That is until they died from that grenade explosion. Gecko was walking down the road when he found a mysterious package. Inside the package was a

  1193. paul says:

    severed head…

  1194. mike says:

    God shouted that he will bring the Gillian’s crew back to life. All of them were revived.

  1195. Laura Lambie says:

    The head was from a murder committed by Bonnie and Clyde. The severed head looked a lot like_________

  1196. mike says:

    looked like snookie, smelled like snookie.. it was snookie.

  1197. Dan says:

    The Situation mourned for her loss.

  1198. Laura Lambie says:

    She must have died, after drinking that laxative laced drink or could it have been__________

  1199. mike says:

    all those cheeseburgers she was eating.

  1200. Dan says:

    Well let’s have some fries then.

  1201. Mike says:

    Dont forget the milkshakes

  1202. Dan says:

    and the napkins!

  1203. Nicole says:

    and the straws of course!

  1204. Gary Steiger says:

    and the special sauce, which…

  1205. Dan says:

    is made up of babies passed through a blender(with a dash of ooregano)!!

  1206. Jeanne says:

    No wonder she died after eating dinner.

  1207. Laura Lambie says:

    and the whole nation mourned her loss, but life goes on so her friends partied on with ____________

  1208. MR H says:

    DOM P bubbling over in their glasses

  1209. Mike says:

    And some La Tache!

  1210. your websites is definitely very this page detail is ok

  1211. Tom says:

    The Situation got wasted and attempted to bag some 1930′s hotties.

  1212. Sue S says:

    and all manner of fancy cheeses and charcuterie.

  1213. Mike says:

    They drank until the break of dawn.

  1214. Tom says:

    Some of the group got alcohol poisoning.

  1215. Sue S says:

    and then drank some more.

  1216. Mike says:

    Took a break then even more. Sue and mike even joined in the party.

  1217. MR H says:

    and they took some jager bombs

  1218. mike says:

    and some tequilas for Mike.. jager are horrible.

  1219. Sue S says:

    and drank some cosmos.

  1220. MR H says:

    and then they decided to fight, obv

  1221. Tom says:

    Situation punched Mike, who in turn swung at him back wildly. He was terribly drunk and accidently hit Sue right in the face, who in turn was so drunk thought it was Sammy who hit her, so she tackled Sammy and beat her down.

  1222. Bender says:

    There was mass confusion. Very briefly they all left to participate in another comment contest but when the entries crested 14,000 they knew the odds were better here

  1223. Simpson says:

    ….a boomerang came from nowhere jacked Sue in the throat!

  1224. Bender
