Ouch... OK - now that I've received 5 PMs telling me I'm a wussy for not posting my opinion up-front before asking for opinions... here's my take: I support the smoking bans in any and all places that employ service people that are closed-in (anything with a ceiling). Here's why, and...

I'm having a conversation on another board, and thought I would post some of it here and see if y'all had any opinions... Basically, we were talking about the upcoming ban on smoking in Ireland public places (including all pubs) that is about to really launch. I've just posed the following...

It's saturday, May 1st... PB is still lost in 1986 or something... ;)

I'm debating on bidding on it... and if I win - have it shipped directly to Dave... :sign:

I've seen funnier things.... hrrm... ahhh... Ok - I guess I haven't... that's uber-fun-freakin'-funny... your sister rocks... :thumbs: - Oak

I would recommend RJ Clarke's on 3 Alexander Street. Very smart staff and pretty good selection. Treated me very well with no trace of snootiness. As far as getting cigars in canada... the prices are quite high across the board due to taxes, and it is one of the most expensive ways to get...

How's this: Up in Smoak version 2 May 1st in Baltimore? Cheers, - Oak

OK - the second version of my Washington DC area herf is scheduled. This one is going to be north of the city - all the way north to Baltimore at Max's at Camden Yards... Date: Saturday, May 1st. Time: Meet at Max's at 2pm Core Duration: Core herf will go until 4:30 or 5:00pm Secondary...

WHOAH! Just realized your location... A violent burger-eatin' hunter/fisher within 37 miles of me??!!! Are you a drunk too? (cause that would give you the trifecta!) :thumbs: Oh - yes... We shall herf. We shall herf someday soon. I'm thinking the baltimore area - so we can coax AVB out...

They roll the patties on the thighs of virgin maidens at 5 Guys... 60-year old hairy virgins... that is... C'mon - what do you want for a 5 dollar meal? :sign:

Oops. Here's another couple favorites in DC if you're visiting: Ben's Chili Bowl 5 Guys has my favorite burger if I'm going sans Chili - but nothing beats Ben's overall. and: If you're on a diet - this place will cut the calories in half (of course, half of a gazillion is still quite a few)...

Now we're talking... I concur with Beast - the quality seen from your smaller burger places completely eclipses that from the larger chains. Here's my favorite's menu in the washington dc area: 5 Guys Menu. They have burgers, fresh-cut fries, and cokes - along with hot dogs or grilled cheese...

1) Kerry - 79% 2) Kucinich - 71% 3) Bush - 14% Sharpton was cut out because he has never actually held elected office, which I do regard as a wee bit of a prerequisite... ;) Interesting test - and I'm guessing it accurately portrays me in terms of these four guys. I would find it very...

OK - Am I the only one that enjoyed my 2-minute stay in "little-freaky-kid" land...? Captured the spirit of crazy little boys everywhere - right at that age where they turn into gibbering idiots (which lasts for another couple years until they hit puberty and turn their energy to other areas)...

I'm probably skipping this month for my mini-herf (got to be out of town on business) - but here's a repost from another board on a herf in the DC area. I don't know anyone that is involved with this personally - but I'm sure it would be fun. Check it out and let us know how it goes - I would...

Not trying to be argumentative, but I've worked with as many whiney and useless youngsters as I have apathetic and useless olds. My opinion on the root cause: many companies let people get away with this and have created a culture where this sort of thing is implicitly allowed and essentially...

1 Hour, 45 Minutes - 13 Inches Left I think you'll give up the ship early... ;)

Moki trolled and caught allofus? :lookup: :sign:

Great idea... I am guessing half my taste-buds are psychosomatic, so I'll probably give A+ ratings to dog-rockets and bitch about the high-end sticks... Should be amusing regardless... I'm in if you'll have me. - Oak

Y'know... it's sick to say - but I'd probably pay 100 dollars for a glass-top box of cohibas - just for novelty value... What the hell is the matter with me? You guys not only got me addicted to high-end sticks - but now I'd pay good money for a decent fake just for fun???!!! ;)
