    Are they trying to say that he should have escaped on a cruise with one click rather than to the other side with one click?

    Only Satan's Nectar when mixed with peanut butter. Mmm
  • Amazing. The conversation starts out talking about Don Cornelius' suicide...and somehow morphs into talking about cruise deals. I guess life really IS too short!

    It's sad when people die. It's also sad when people go on cruises instead of taking awesome holidays. This thread broke my heart twice.
