796: Where's the Line?

I agree with Keith with the whole Dancing with the Stars Lance issue. IT should have been offered to him to dance with a dude but however it is considered a 'family show' and i imagine the broadcaster just didn't want to deal with the crazy left-wing church -goers angrily protesting the show.

Yeah, it's the left-wing Christians you gotta watch out for.

Some restaurants even add corking fees when you purchase a bottle of wine; my basic understanding is that they are charging you for the service of opening the bottle, pouring the wine etc. Now that is asshole.

I love spooky!

That's some catch, that catch 22. The best one there is.

During a vacation to Tunisia, an arab offered my Mum 17 camels for my brother. My Dad always said that he would have gone for it but the excess baggage would have been a killer.

I bet he's not wrapped too tight. He's probably a friendly fire accident waiting to happen. I was gonna join the army, but I failed the drug test accidently on purpose. I was gonna get to fire off scud missiles. I regret not going sometimes.

When I joined the Reserves we had some sub General talk to us (us being the new recruits). He asked us how many people want to go overseas and everyone except me (everyone being about 200 people) said they would all want to go overseas.

For some reason the army recruits all these people that are war hungry

I love these shows where Chemda and Patrice gang up on Keith. They're funny.

I can kinda get the idea of wanting to serve your country, but to be solely focused on the "goal" of going straight into war.... It just seems a bit off in the noggin...

Oh, and tons of people that aren't all together in the head graduate high school every year....

If you join the military during a war, I can't imagine thinking that you wouldn't wind up there. Realistically, only a small percentage of people in the service actually see combat but you have to figure there is a good chance of it going in.

Typically more reasonable that way. Even then depending on the wine the markup can be outrageous. To my understanding %150 markup is standard for most alcoholic beverages, but I have seen some wines that I can buy in the grocery store for 13 bucks sold for $50 at a dining establishment.

You can easily pay that much for a glass of wine around here, particularly at a nice place.

Chemda, if you can pre-screen those networking events for one that have marketing or ad people in attendance you won't be buying a drink all night. Those people will swarm you if your nametag says "talk show host" or "radio personality."

They're one and the same. Your country wants you to go to war, you want to serve your country thus you want to go to war.

Plus, either you join the army to go to war or because you don't know what else to do.
