It is well behaved kid friendly. Yours qualifies. If he does misbehave I expect to see a beating. I'm not bringin mine because a beating would be imminent. JK

GreshamH · 07/16/2010, 06:14 PM

Jake enjoys being interrupted with off topic questions (since I can't make it to shout them out myself during his talk)

Konadog · 07/17/2010, 01:42 AM

There were a few comments that side tracked Jake, you would have been proud Gresh!

Don't worry Gresh, you definitely would have been proud of us. Jake show a pic of a former Nazi building that had been converted to a Burger King. I asked the questions that has been burning in my mind since 1994. I said, "What do they call a Whopper because John Travolta in Pulp Fiction said he never went into Burger King.

wishntoboutside · 07/17/2010, 08:40 AM

That was one heck of a slide show. Man jake knows his stuff. Thank you Jake for a great presentation.

gcarroll · 07/17/2010, 09:00 AM
