Please stop what you are doing, go into your wallet and take out ALL of your money and throw it out the window. In fact, wait and give it to the very next stranger you see. Don’t have cash? Head to the bank and withdraw a few hundred and then give it away. I can hear it already: “Steupss, this writer MAD! Who going and do that?” You wouldn’t dare give away your hard earned money, so why are you letting the government do it?…

Watch Yuhself

Here at SCORCH, the words ‘party’, ‘lime’ and ‘drinks’ are no strangers to us.

In case you didn’t know, last weekend was a serious smallie pump in our sister isle. But, of course with an affordable fare of $100-300 a trip, anybody reachin Bago for some well deserved R&R/Drinks an Kix.
