Economy vs. Business
I’m headed to London England for the Ad: Tech Conference. Although I did just arrive last Friday from a long week, I’m somewhat looking forward to this trip. I have never gone to Europe before so this is a first.
I find myself headed to England in Business class. I’ve never flown this way before, so this is also a first time. Wow, what a difference from the flight I had last week. Let’s start all the way to the beginning.
When checking in, the agents are so friendly and courteous to you. This is really rare when it comes to AC agents.
You can chill at the lounge while waiting for your flight, where they have free wireless internet, food, and alcohol.Â
You get first dibs, when boarding the plane. They also offer to take your coat.Â
When sitting down they offer you a newspaper, snacks, juice, alcohol… And it’s all FREE! I’ll take a beer please.Â
You get a menu for your choice of dinner and breakfast. What! No snack mix and cold sandwiches?
The seats are comfortable, where it can recline almost all the way back. There is so much leg room.Â
The flight attendants, are constantly asking If your fine or need anything. Man it’s so hard to get these guys attention when sitting in Economy, and when you do they look so grumpy.
You have a personalize Entertainment system. Which means you can choose to watch what you want. Yes! I won’t get in booed this time.
And best of all, you don’t have a fat man sitting beside you taking up so much of the arm rest and looking over your shoulder. Sigh… I can get use to this.
What’s the Difference? You Say Clubs, I Say Bars
My friend and I, got into a conversation about bars and clubs. According to him they are two completely different settings. To me they are the same, a place of social gathering where alcohol is your best friend and the loud music is your key to a piece of ass.
According to him, New York City bars and clubs are different based on their licensing rights. While clubs have a cabaret license which gives you the opportunity to shake your bon bon on the dance floor, bars generally do not have a dance floor, and in some cases it is illegal to dance in a bar without a cabaret license. If you ask me New York City bars sounds more like a Pub or a Lounge.
Where I grew up, most would say that bars and clubs are the same thing. It’s a place that has alcohol, loud music and a dance floor.
If you just want to go for drinks and be in an atmosphere where you can have a descent conversation, which won’t lead into a one night-stand, then you hit the local lounge or pub. But, if you want to get pissed drunk, get your groove on and get laid, then you hit the Club or Bars… See what I mean, I don’t see a difference!
What’s The Difference? You Say Tenders, I Say Fingers
As lunch was fast approaching, I was already craving for some good Chicken Fingers and Fries. So when lunch time finally arrived, we hit Moxie’s Classic Grill. I sat there browsing through the menu, to see if there was something else that would take my cravings away from those yummy Fingers. After a few minutes of casual conversation and flipping through the menu, I found myself on the page where they had Chicken Tenders. For a few seconds I thought to myself, how come some restaurants call them Chicken Fingers while others, call them Chicken Tenders.
What’s the difference? Is it based on the restaurants social status or décor? Does an average Joe restaurant suit the name Chicken Fingers more then the 4 star restaurants that have a fire place and comfortable seating? Out of all the times I’ve gone to Moxie’s I had always referred to them as Fingers and not Tenders.
What’s the difference? You say Tenders, I say Fingers.
They are still lightly breaded chicken strips, serve with honey dill, or your choice of sauce. Honestly, I prefer to call them Chicken Tengers.
