Well, Al, you'll always have strip clubs. You bet I do!  |

Well, Al, you'll always have strip clubs. The law only applies to establishments that make 15% or more of their money from food, so bars that don't serve any grub are exempt. That's... interesting. The province of BC has had a ban in place for a few years now that basically says ANY public business (restaurant, bar, peeler joint, office... anything!) can't be smoked in. Can't even smoke within 3 meters of the entrance. I personally love it. The switch happened just after my clubbing days, but not so late that we couldn't go out and enjoy a meal or go dancing and not come home stinking. I still find it very, very distracting when I travel in the US and I'm asked if I want to be seated in smoking or non. Pardon? |

I understand the point here, but I always have an issue when governments start criminalizing things. Especially here, where they are taking the decision out of the hands of the business owners.
Shouldn't the people who own and operate these establishments be allowed to make that choice themselves, between smoking/non-smoking?

I see where you're coming from, oj, but at the same time, the government doesn't do anything unless it's been voted on. That's why it took longer to get this passed in Pennsylvania than it did in Jersey -- you get out into western PA, the more rural communities, and smoking is still pretty big. And that's why this type of ban will never be seen in West Virginia. But hey, it's like prohibition... if it's unpopular enough for a while, it'll get repealed.
No pun intended, though, I'm not holding my breath.

Finding out I don't have to write a thesis to graduate -- I can do a practical ministry project instead.

Now don't go and challenge your fate by making your project about counseling poor souls who suffer under the stress of their graduation thesis ... though it would be funny, I guess. ;D |

Using a sound editor to make serious films sound like all their actors are on helium. The final scenes of Reservoir Dogs are very good for this.

"Gave him cake" as in he got the special "just for me" cake to destroy? Or you gave him a piece of cake?
My brothers and I all got a small first birthday cake that was ours to devour and smush as we chose... these cakes are responsible for some of my absolutely most favourite pictures of us in history.

Oh yes, it was HIS cake. It was chocolate and it was destroyed. I have some hilarious pictures of him covered in icing trying to spoon feed me. I'll have to upload one.
