Well, yea, TPIR is not a destination so much as it is a refuge 

Jeopardy is fun, with tons of clues in the questions, a pattern that Ken

But what I like about Bob Barker is that he's Vegan, he's an animal rights
activist, he's anti-fur coat, but he promotes his positions without getting
in your face
