    I can understand weddings. Those are huge events that can take all day and require someone who is good at their job.

    This is literally just sit down, smile, and the photographer clicks the camera. I'm not talking about the casual pictures where they shoot at different locations, I'm talking official year book photo. There is NO difference in the picture the senior took and the one the 1st grader took, other than he's in a tux. and the price. we even had to pay just to have the stupid picture taken to begin with,

    Senior pictures has always been a racket.
    Even back when I had mine done, Billy. When we had to walk barefoot two miles, up hill, both ways, in the snow during the 90 degree heat while being chased by dragons that had sheep for hands all the way to Olen Mills.

    Not sure if it was the same thing for me, as it was for you. Mine was extremely graphic.

    Here's how I do every recipe.

    Change all the ingredients to the following:
    2 ounces Orange Stoli
    2 ounce Kaluha
    2 ounces half/half.
    ice.
    Shake.

    Repeat as necessary.

    (It tastes like those orange push-ups btw).

    It's violent, I think to say any more would be survey content? They even warn it's violent in the hit and tell you where the clip is from before you watch it.

    ZOMG... It was awesome.
    Then again. I've seen that clip probably 50 times - seriously.

    The main moral of the story - secondhand smoking WILL kill others.

    Violent vs porn is 100% OK IMO and, honestly, preferred specification b/c I was wondering the same thing. Glad I err on the side of not clicking surveys :emoji_sweat_smile:
