Allen & Ginter Guilty Pleasure

When I saw the checklist for this year's A&G I knew one card that I had to have.  Call it a guilty pleasure.  Call it weird.  I wanted an Anthony Bourdain card.  I'm pretty sick of all of the "personalities" on the Food Channel.  I'm particularly over the idea of cooking as a spectator sport.  Bourdain isn't one of "them", although I did think he sold out with "The Taste".  To his credit and/or the Academy's he has been nominated twice for best host.  I do like his other shows on CNN and the Travel Channnel.  So having opened 11 packs and not pulling Tony I went to Ebay and found one for a reasonable $1.49 shipped.  Is there a card in the set that you'd go out of your way to get?

What's the difference between a teacher and a train?  Teacher says "spit out your gum"  The train says, "Choo, Choo".

These look great but the more I get the more I think the backs are lame.  I thought they'd be about player's hobbies, not PSA's.

Hey, it's the freaking Titanic--doesn't matter what else the card says.

Don't be sad Roy.  You won two thirds of your decisions.
