I still do Red Bull by the case. Coffee, not 4 pots anymore.
I went to lots of parties that I couldn't remember the following day or who the skanky ho laying next to me was.
Damn, being old sucks. :(

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

As long as you don't bitch when I light up outside, I promise I wont scream at you about how ugly, stupid, and etc... you are. Trust me, Wrex is a nice guy in real life, but being bullied when I obey the rules... well, Wrex does not mind getting mad occasionally. I will remember your face, and every time you talk smack when I am smoking in an appropriate area, I will scream at you, not yell, scream bloody freaking murder.
Moving along though....
This whole idea is stupid. Stop. Tax junk food and cigarettes. Stop. BMI ratings are about the laziest bit of "science", as well as being utterly ignorant, I have ever seen. Stop.
Just remember that friendly people can be much, much angrier than you, yeah... but some are simply better at it than others . WREX SMAAAAAAASH!!!
And to smooth this one over... just a bit of whip cream... whip cream HILARIOUSNESS!!!

I don't hate smokers. I just hate the attitude that they should have more rights than me.
My friends all bitched when Mn become a non-smoking state (in public buildings) and they didn't care that it allowed me a new right......the right to breath clean air. Smokers I know love to use the "we are a minority" card. Why the hell does everyone have to pull that damn card out?

Smokers are a minority? FFS... People like that give others that partake in the same activity a bad name. This is the reason that I will simply take it personally, instead of trying to hide behind some sort of imaginary shield.
I do not smoke in restaurants, and I actually hate being in smoky rooms, you need ventilation man, regardless of second hand smoke, it is just nasty. In France, I am pretty sure they banned smoking in super-markets, which is not only a good idea, but a fantastic one. I really don't want to be surrounded by smoke when I pick up my horse meat .
That... really sounded awesome though, in such a dirty way. MAH HORSE MEAT! I PICK IT UP, AND SWING IT AROUND!!!

I'm already watching my weight via diet and exercise, so the more people who die from heart attacks, the fewer people who compete for my retirement dollars! ____

Probably, because they have no Fing clue what being an *actual* minority" is. Smoking is a behavior that you have to learn and maintain. Screw 'em.
