An FTer birthday this week - wish obscure2k a happy birthday on 29th February, umm 28th February or 1st March. Why not both?

Jenbel and chrissxb have set up a fantastic consolidated do thread. So I’ll soon be looking for 2 new finds to showcase each week. Any suggestions please by PM?

A FT Do in the next 30 days - ski jump do Oslo 16-19 March.

A FT Do in the next 3-6 months - petrol heads drive on up to the Montreal Formula 1 Do 8-10 June, eh. Flyers welcome too.

Something from the talking heads, err Talk Board - a vote is underway on restructuring the Mileage Run forum.

Something random - Austria Budapest or Amsterdam? Help highflyer88 decide where to go.

…if you are not adverse to reading e-mails and filling out quick surveys.

Please see the E-miles: Miles for Minutes thread for additional details.

For an FTer an obvious truth is flying economy/coach too much. How do you know? Check out this thread, and add some more of your own.

…I will bet that The monorail thread is for you.

Table what you are doing right now, because people will die to read a thread that will help them get around Las Vegas.

However, there is a chip on the shoulder of FlyerTalk member fly4funsea, who is McCarran on about why the monorail does not connect to the airport.

The airport should reserve a slot for a monorail train station. Other FlyerTalk members agree.

Face it: acne, as an adult… can be a serious problem, especially for a female traveler.

Despite waking up oily in the morning and getting creamed, this problem can be rough for some people who suffer from acne. Hopefully, when one is in a squeeze with this condition, the cure will pop out of nowhere.

There are some people who think that acne was that company that supplied all of the anvils and other merchandise in those Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons.

Anyway, seriously: if you have this problem, read the thread. If you can offer a solution, please post in the thread. Other FlyerTalk members have already offered some good advice.

…is a chocolate bar.

I am certain some lawyers would argue what they believe is the bestest bar - but they would have to pass it first.

Anyway, I had better clean up my act here with a bar of soap and inform you that FlyerTalk member Showbizguru asks the timeless question: what is The very bestest bar in the whole wide world ?

Take a shot at answering the question in that thread. Do not wine if your response becomes toast by the responses of other FlyerTalk members looking for a rum-ble - just grin and beer it. Do not mug in that thread, as that is considered a pain in the glass. Whiskey on over there now, because bar none - that is the best question I have seen all day.

To continue, iron workers would be wrought over this question by thinking that a metal bar is the bestest. I am shore that lifeguards would suggest a sand bar, which would go against the grain of some people. Security personnel who keep people out of places would say that the bestest bar —

Oh, by the way, in case you are wondering: I am not drunk as I write this, because I do not - and never did - drink alcohol at all. However, I will drink to that…

…what would you do?

That is the question that FlyerTalk member newyorkgeorge poses in the If you were CEO what would you do? thread.

However, I posed a similar question in the You are the CEO of _____ Airlines. thread.

Here is a trivia question: why is the You are the CEO of _____ Airlines. thread special to me? What does that thread represent?

kebosabi wonders if it is possible to visit 6 state capitols in 12 hours? No prizes for guessing which part of USA will be visited that day.

Normally, threads from the S.P.A.M. forum are usually not highlighted here at The Gate.

However, you can receive a gift card worth US$5.00 at Starbucks if you fill out the simple survey.

You are probably wondering why I would choose to highlight the Easy Survey- get $5 Starbucks card thread here…
