Fact: 83% of studly chick magnets own at least one Tilley hat. He can't afford to be without it. (Source: Bushie)

Scheech, PP, What can we do but wait for the arrival of the dancing girl photos? Maybe a shot or two of the Pelican would calm him down??

ChiTownDiner, that was the most unique liquor store I've ever been in. Here in the USA, we have brewpubs, and we like our beer. In Greece, they like their ouzo, but as far as I could find, there is only one ouzopub in the country. The difference between Bretto's and other ouzo's is like the difference between a great brewpub and Coors. Besides ouzo, Bretto's also makes a variety of liquours and brandies. I brought back a bottle of raisin brandy which has all the punch of a brandy, but a little residual sweetness, as well.
Oh, I nearly forget, while I was sampling all these goodies, I had a Cuban Partagas, which goes well with almost anything.
So let me get this straight...great liquor selction, Cuban cigar, Greek Goodess...and you came home for Bushie and The Mayor???

Poverty, I hope to get together with you soon to share some of your pho's of your entire trip.
This next weekend is not out of the picture as I had to cancel my trip to FL due to business. My weekend is now open.

That's great, Paul. I'll call the butcher and ask him to cut some more beef ribs.

Thank you Bushie. I've had a cheap knock-off of that hat for years, but didn't know the name of the real thing. I ordered a Tilly Hat this afternoon. Add 50 pounds to Poverty Pete in his Tilly and you'll have me in mine. I have worn the old one in China, Italy, England, Ireland and Scotland. On tours women do follow, because the hat can be recognized from behind.

You're gonna love that hat. If you lose it while rafting, it floats. When it gets dirty, toss it in the washer. The official laundering instructions..."Give it hell!"

I have the Airflo (recommended to me, oddly enough, by Mr. Poverty), and I love it. Hasn't helped me much with the ladies, though.

PP, What a nickname uh. I love the fresh, simple and healthy food from that part of the world. When over there(Italy) I always say, "I'm going to eat like this everyday". But I never follow through. BTW, Nice shot of the Greek Store Clevageoops, Clerk.

Joe, you should have seen what Al was doing with that photo on his computer. He's a wizard with Photoshop.

No Way Sundancer ! I have to protect the site from those types of posts. I will say that Photoshop's technical capability for using layers to cover (or un-cover) parts of a photo can be made to create and almost 'xray security' sort of image from the stock photo. Rest Assured that the young lady in question was not carrying any concealed weapons ANYWHERE on her person. PP and I checked very carefully to be sure it was safe to introduce her to TTM ! And Yes, After four hours I did call my Doctor. He was envious!

Sounds like a typical admins response . I think I will go out and buy photoshop PDQ. Perhaps it could improve the image of SD7??. I doubt it.  Paul E. Smith Knoxville, TN
