Side rant:

Booked a room in Costa Mesa a week ago. Found a better rate two days later so I cancled and rebooked through Hotels.com. Caused some confusion as I think they messed it up, but they said they found my room when I called earlier in the day to let them know I was arriving very late. I however booked a King bed and was given two twins. Went back to the lobby and told since its the same price and its only based on availability at time of check in not guaranteed you get your preference. That would be only a minor annoyance if our other friend hadn't booked at 10PM last night and checked in after we did making her story BS.

Bet it was since I went through a 3rd party site but still crappy that they would lie trying to hide behind the terms of the booking agreement.

Fellow->Good Fellow->Jolly Good Fellow

I really wanted the have a business card that said "Jolly Good Fellow" but my boss wasn't amused. They changed the titles again in about 6 months.
