This past summer, Rep. Jeff Flake(R) went into the wild.
After two years of planning, the Arizona Republican spent a week on a remote, uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, eating coconuts and fish he caught with a spear, purifying his own water, sleeping in a hammock on the beach, and writing daily in his journal.
He listed a number of reasons for going on this trip, calling them "more physical than spiritual." And while he didn't end up talking to a volleyball, like Tom Hanks did in "Cast Away," he did find some unlikely friends — a few hermit crabs.
"I picked up a hermit crab, and, spotting the sharpie, wrote the number '1′ on the back of his shell, and put a circle around it. I repeated this act whenever I felt a bit lonely," Flake wrote. Later, he added, "I've labeled 102 at this point with a sharpie marker. I just saw number one again today. He's remains one of my favorites, as is number 12, long since forgiven for pinching my toe."

Watching a little too much "Survivorman"? Though, I must admit, that sounds like my kind of vacation! ;D ;D ;D

You bet!
If you look at all those pics in the slide show, he really was in paradise. He said that the reasons he went were not really "spiritual", but from the looks of where he was........... I would bet he saw God more then once.

My wife and mother are both looking at me like I'm a total idiot (no comments from the peanut gallery) because I'm laughing at the computer.
Thanks, pal. ;D ;D ;D

You take the Pay Per View rights. I am going to invest in the pizza delivery companies. No one is gonna want to leave their house when these idiots start eating each other. You just have to watch long enough to get through all the committee meetings where they decide who to eat first! ;D

With all the chemicals she's injected, do you suppose she'd explode, or just sizzle? That is of course if you could ever get her slippery ass tied to the stake. :-X
Gee, no thread drift here..... ::)

No thread drift at all. We are simply pursuing the thought that 1 politician left the Island pretty much as he found it, but a quorum could screw up paradise.
I say explode.

At least you'd never have to waterproof them. They would already be silicone impregnated! :-X
Ok, I'm off to the corner. I hope there's a bucket, I think I'm gonna hurl.
