Releases his frustrations. <br /><br />@flyingscribbler Very! I was afraid I pushed things a little too far in this. Some people were really hurt by the phone hacking and still are. But I think the media needs to be more balanced out. Investigate more. Don't recycle the same stuff over and over again. <br /><br />Good point about the beer! But I'm thinking they brought their own supply. Is it illegal for visitors to take alcohol into the Arab countries?Craig Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176851401465801580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250861064970945708.post-59623636064683031812011-07-23T03:24:02.255-07:002011-07-23T03:24:02.255-07:00Just how far is your tongue pushed into your cheek...Just how far is your tongue pushed into your cheek? <br />There was something on the radio here today about the world's real problems being overshadowed. <br />They'll have trouble finding a beer in Tripoli.

Maybe a female orc would be carrying a mace in her handbag? <br /><br />@FARfetched Glad you enjoyed it :-D. With the week to week basis of #fridayflash why not tie it in with day to day events. Doubt I will ever be able to do it as good as the people at South Park do it though. <br /><br />Thanks.
