Heh.  I was singled out as a 'person of interest' or something on a
flight this week.  They had someone come to my seat to confirm who the
heck I was, passport and all.  As soon as they left me, the doors
locked and we took off.  I looked so cool :)

I used to just go by Matthew Rice.  If my plane ticket doesn't say
that, I don't get the air miles.  However, they now want more full
names when you supply passport info...I called aeroplan/air canada to
change my name on the card and they wanted the Vogon equivalent of a
request to save my life.

Stalemate.

D, us single lettered first namers have to stick together.  It's gonna
get worse than being a ginger:

Nobody watch this if anything offends you; it's banned on youtube so
it's gotta be bad.  Am I right or am I right?
Or am I right?

TTFN,
