We have several cities here that have smoking bans. The first was Tempe. I read a story in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago, that said almost a dozen bars have closed since the law was passed. The majority reported drops in sales. The average seemed to be about 17%. I realize that other factors could be responsible for this, but I am sure the ban is the major cause. The reaction to smoking bans always amaze me.

Have a good one Ray. Bizarro Superman is right, he'll never get off the ground with that piece of shit cape.

Damn you, Jim.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but to me total smoking bans in bars and restaurants is ridiculous. If second hand smoke was as bad as they claim, wouldn't smokers be dropping dead before dessert is served? After all, they are getting two doses. The basic principal of toxicity. "Mere exposure does not equate to toxicity; it's the dose that makes the poison" I'm not a smoker, although I do light up a cigar from time to time, and may have a cig every once in a while. I don't care to be eating when someone is smoking, so I choose to sit in a non-smoking area. However, when I drink all bets are off. It should be the choice of the establishment owner, not the fucking PC city council, and Mayors.

Weizen, I think she may enjoy Bob Wilber on this date.

What, speculation and more speculation? That's about right.

BTW, this has to be said. Sammy Sosa is the son of Ravi Coltrane.

ESPN is covering this like CNN, FOX, and MSNBC covered the war.

Exactly. Dude hits how many homeruns, and he needs a "special" bat for BP to impress the kids?

I wouldn't go as far to say it's the best show, but it is among the best. Signed, Sentimental for the Sopranos B)

I thought this thread was going to have something to do with the fact musciboy is the long lost son of Ravi Coltrane.

I've only posted a few times at JC. I prefer here and AAJ.

I had to go with The Birds.

Thanks to pryan, I will be enjoying Freddie Redd's "Shades Of Redd" tonight.

No way Jose, I'm in the number 8 club. B)

It's that orginal recipe over extra crispy mentality, taking over. Stop the world, I want to get off!

18 is cool! B)

No matter what I pick, the answer is still Ravi Shankar.

Good luck. Can I have your parking space?

I think it was about two weeks.

I picked 8, but I almost went with 5.
