I can't be the only one that thought this was leading somewhere steamier than it did. :|

SMILE: Panthers are now over .500 for the first time since 2008.

No kidding. I've been out of the country (not counting light border trips as I'm 300ish miles from one) twice on vacations in my life and I consider myself very lucky. Once was between 8th grade and the other was 2 1/2 years ago. I'd say most people I've know haven't made it out of the country at all unless they were in the military. Video is aimed at entitled people with mommy and daddy's money. :roll:
I've done the camping one, and the road trip can be done for relatively cheap. Some of the others though...I never really had a desire to do the spring break crap and usually had to work during that week anyway. And Bonnaroo doesn't play the kind of music I like, so there's not much point in that for me. As for the others, ooph, expensive. Just the plane ticket across an ocean is way more money than I want to spend. Hell, a plane ticket across the country is way more money than I want to spend.

...Bonnaroo...

No, we play teams like the Buccs and Rams.



Bonnaroo has gotten lamer and lamer with each passing year.

No, what's sad is that there is a Breaking News banner about JonBenet Ramsey.

Ticked - It is United Way mandatory "volunteer donation time" at work
Smiled - My boss said I cannot give since I found out through our donation portal I can designate all of my money to go directly to a different organization instead of the United Way (such as the NRA). And he said that it goes against the spirit of the system. He is also aware that I do not want to give and it just gives him an easy way out when his boss asks why I did not give.

Apart from Mandatory Donations, strongarm donation tactics in the office, and the fact that about half of your donation goes to the United Way itself for operation costs, well many of their CEOs are involved in embezzlement scandals. Honestly, if you want to give to them, thats fine. If anyone wants to give to them, thats great. I give to a couple organizations that I know do good work in my area and a three churches and thats it.

Edit:
I take that back, I do donate to Childsplay when I can.
