Excellent, Froggy! Example:

RF> I think Hotel Meson is more than $40 a night);

Dillon> $35 per night.

chilly> But how can that be? Reef is an authority on everything.

RF> I am an authority only when I said chilly
RF> is an officious, under-educated, and under-informed ignorant
RF> bitch (ok, Queen Bitch as you wanted to be called)

See also dictionary for "under-educated" and "under-informed".

Final answer (from hotel researvation page):

$> $44.00

$> Total Room Cost: $403.04 (includes tax recovery charges and fees)
$> *Unless specified otherwise, rates are quoted in US Dollars.

From the web: Here's one: officious

adjective DISAPPROVING

too eager to tell people what to do and having too high an opinion of your
own importance:

- He's an officious little man and widely disliked in the company.

Here's another:

Adjective: officious u'fishus
Intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner

Here's a third:

"bustling about self-importantly making an officious nuisance of himself"

Or how about from hard copy of the Oxford Dictionary of current English: 1.
domineering 2 intrusive in correcting etc.

Or how about from my desk: An obnoxious little pain in the ass with an
undeserved superiority complex that may arise from his small-man complex

Why are you afraid to fly?

Hmmm... As a pilot, perhaps I know something about commercial aviation that
you don't? <evil-grin>

It just seems that all the retirees end up in Florida... I figure that I'll
just keep finding jobs closer and closer to Florida so that when I finally
retire, I'll be there... <grin>

Apparently you do. From my non-pilot point of view, air travel is
statisically much safer than driving (and that's just driving in the USA --
it's got to be much, much, much safer than driving in Mexico).

You may not fear going up a 100 feet or so in a puddlejumper but you
obviously fear real flying: in a huge jet going 500 mph at 35,000 feet.
Here's a tip: avoid the American airlines which rip you off $4 or so for a
beer and cut you off after two. Mexican airlines give you beer for free,
all you can drink.

Unfortunately it looks like no Mexican airlines service New Orleans, just a
Salvadorean one. Go figure.

Why not retire in Mexico? Your money goes a lot further there.

We're talking San Miguel Allende. Maybe go for a visit in a year or
so and take a suitcase of money. Buy a little townhouse or something
as an investment, rent it out now, eventually live in it.

The local economy is almost all dollar based (hmm, sounds like the
other San Miguel) and almost everybody speaks English (ditto). But
the diving sucks.

Actually, I've had my plane up to 14,700 ft... BTW, flying at 100 ft is
a lot more stressful than 10,000 ft due to the habit of those cell
phone and radio towers to just jump out and try to grab you...

If my plane would go that fast or that high, I would... It won't, but I
also get 2-digit gas mileage from my plane... Not something that is
going to happen once you start talking about jets...

I just find commercial aviation to be a hassle that is seldom worth
it... Grace informed me that Kaitlyn is going to be out of school for
Mardi Gras vacation in February and it would be nice if we could go
skiing at that time... All the flights from here to Denver or Salt Lake
City tend to go via some other hub (Atlanta or Cincinatti) and result
in around an 8 hour trip... Hell, I can fly my plane from here to
Denver (924 nm) in less than 9 hours and probably land closer to our
intended destination... On top of that, I save 2 hours getting to the
airport to check-in and another hour getting our bags once we get to
the destination... Door to door times make my little 120 kt
"puddlejumper" faster than a fuckin' 737... SLC is around 1245 nm, so
the 737 would be able to catch up with me... If I didn't mind flying in
the mountains at night in a plane whose service ceiling is less than
the top of some of the mountains, I could land a lot closer to the ski
area and instead of a 2 hour drive from Denver to the ski area hotel,
it might just be a 15 minute drive... If I was flying solo, I would
probably risk it, but Grace would never let me live it down if I killed
all of us in the process...

Of course, there is also the advantage of not having to check any
luggage and no one complaining that I have a handgun in the cockpit...

Back before 9/11, I would sometimes have a small cooler with me on the
flight... Enough for six drinks... I usually carried soft drinks in it,
but sometimes I had a couple of beers in there... No one ever said
anything about it and I usually drank from them instead of the airline
supplied drinks (they didn't have the soft drink that I preferred)...

Since I'm northeast of New Orleans, I have the option of flying out of
Gulfport, MS (GPT) or New Orleans (MSY). GPT is not that much further
and doesn't require me to cross all of New Orleans around rush hour...
>From my house to the French Quarter is about 40 miles... From here to
MSY is slightly over 48 miles... From here to GPT is 52.7 miles, but
there is minimal traffic since it does not consist of driving through
New Orleans...

First of all, I don't like their gun laws... Seems kind of stupid to
only let the rebels to have guns... On top of that, I like the
conveniences of modern civilization just a little bit... Kind of nice
to have water coming out of the tap that is drinkable... My current
house has an 1100 ft water well... Acceptable tasting water, especially
after you run it through a filter to get the slight hydrogen sulfide
smell out of it...
