I thought babies were found in the garden under cabbage leaves. The baby
fairies bring them don't they?

The Air Force did actively support smoking. During basic training, there
would be the call: "If you got 'em, smoke 'em." If you didn't have 'em, you
had to continue working. By the second call, everybody had 'em.

I smoked for over 20 years because of that. Fortunately I quit over 12 years
ago. But still, that's a lot of ciggie-butts into my lungs because of the
Air Force basic Training.

Total bullcrap. I was in the USAF. Everyone got a break, regardless
if they smoked or not. Besides, anyone could have stopped anytime
after basic. Besides, basic in the AF is the shortest wimpiest basic
on the planet. I only did 24 days. We did the obstacle once and it
was the only fun we had the whole time.

I find Emeril to be one of the most annoying 'chefs' on the network. He
never really seems to know what he is doing and would probably die without a
huge staff of people to keep him sort of pointed in the right direction.

His yell of "BAM!" must be tied to the electrification of the seats of the
audience. It certainly has nothing to do with cooking.

And his audience is trained to yell and applaud when he says the words:
"Garlic!" Or "Chiles." It is really rather silly. Food doesn't taste better
because you've added a superabundance of something to it. No matter how
showmanly you do it.

It just tastes too hot or too garlicky. Or whatever.

Rachel's half-hour meals are ok. But I hate her smug $40 a day meals. I know
too many people who are lucky to have $40 a WEEK to live on. Watching her
crow about how she can eat on $40 for a DAY just turns my stomach.

Rachel's out there stuffing her face at the rate of at least $280 a week I
know people who have to live on less than $800 a MONTH! Rent, food and all.
$40 a day is impossible!

Obviously, I am in a minority. People must love her. She gets a new show and
endorsements for unhealthy snack crackers (which probably pays a lot!)

Too bad she can't be bitch slapped into reality.

I'm sure she can, and she looks like she might even like it. For some
reason when I picture her having sex, I see Viking helmets, leather bras,
whips and clam dip.

But to be fair, her awful show, 40 bucks a day, is a travel guide. How to
travel and eat well for 40 dollars a day. Seasoned travelers all seem to
agree they can do it for much less. It's a dreadful, awful show - endless
orgasmic displays as she chomps down on some crap and of course that Betty
Rubble giggle which is as phony as a 3 dollar bill.

She's annoying, I'll give you that.

Ever go away on vacation? Ever notice most of her locations are usually in
tourist areas? If you are staying on hotels/motels, you don't have cooking
facilities and it is good to know you can eat on $40 a day.

Sure, there are people in need and that have tough times, but that should
not stop the rest of us from living our lives as we see fit. They won't be
seeing Rachel anyway as she is on cable and if you are in that severe a
need, you won't be paying for cable.

Yeah, but he's worth millions and watched by more. You're just annoying,
here.

So what you're saying is that for twenty years after basic, you still
had no mind of your own. Is that right?

At some point after basic but while still in the service, everybody gets
some part of their free will back. But if it suits you to blame the
military for your persistent smoking habit, more power to you. Gotta
blame somebody, right?
