I'm not sure what quire and shone have to do with anything, but if I committed the unpardonable sin of a typo, I apologize.
My column is just that; my column, and I am free to write about what I wish. Yes, I often remark on my children and their (often humorous) behavior. if you wish to leave comments on the Exit Zero website or write me an email suggesting I write less about my family, that is acceptable. Not acceptable is commenting on my, or anyone else's, children because you don't like me. They're 8, 7 and 4. You can go ahead and leave them out of it.
But I will suggest, once again, if you don't like my column simply turn past it.
As for your personal attack on me, in case you haven't been paying attention, I have removed myself from the job that placed me in precarious situations in my battle with the bottle. Unlike you, apparently, I am not perfect and thusly unqualified to cast the first stone.
I have never shied away from my demons, I won't start doing it now.

This thread is pretty darn funny. BUT, I have a simple question; why is CM using students from Temple? At the very least it should be Rutgers.

CrewChef: Sometimes I don't see the unintended consequences of my words. I have a great 17-year history with the Mug and my comments may not have shone them in the best light. I'm basically saying, "The words of Terry O'Brien do not represent those of the Ugly Mug or any other establishment." That's all.
I didn't "cave" and no one pressured me, but I can recognize my own stupidity when I see it.
Thank you for not going out of your way to drag my kids into it.

It is entirely possible and fairly likely that my comments were made in haste and in the heat of the moment. In retrospect it was only 2-3 of them that really got under my skin with their behavior and disregard for those around them. As the owner/ operator of my own karaoke business, yes, it was quire distressing to see the abuse my microphones and speakers were going through. But my opinion has nothing whatsoever to do with the Mug. It is mine and mine only and, much as I learned in my first couple of years writing my own Cape May column, the power of the printed word is mighty and disseminates quickly.
To capemayjul: You can attack me personally all you want. I can take it. But if you don't like my Exit Zero column, don't read it. It's pretty easy to avoid if you try. I suppose I could have signed up as "CapeMayDude16233", but alas.

The Ugly Mug staff would like to say that the Temple Students are welcome at the Mug anytime. They were just college kids having a good time. At no point did we feel that they were a threat to us or anyone else. They stuck to there group and just seemed to be enjoying themselves. There were no fights or anything along those lines whatsoever. If there was a law against bad singing than they would be in big trouble. They arent going to be on American Idol anytime soon. But thats what karaoke is all about.

The entrance lighthouses (LOL) were planned and designed before the Temple students became so involved in the future of Cape May. Maybe Temple can open a campus in Cape May and rent the new Convention Hall. The Temple students work looks a lot better than the designs for Washington Street Mall and Convention Hall ... and those two things were designed by 'professionals'. Yes, Getoverit, Ed does not seem to know that in the current form of government he is, in fact, the 'wedding mayor' and little else when it comes to running the city.

if they are the ones who designed those kindergarten looking lighthouses that are on the way into town on the brideg then Cape May is in alot of trouble. Ed try to be the wedding mayor you are supposed to be and stay out of actual town operations.

Terry O'Brien commenting on drunken idiots now that's rich. How many DUIs does he have? Get a real job and stop boring us to death with the details of your children's toilet habits. Terry can show them how to drink all day and then drive home.

I had the great pleasure (not) of providing entertainment for these "students" Thursday night in a Cape May bar and they were an absolute disgrace, behaving as if they all were having their first beer; knocking bar stools over, abusing my music equipment, generally acting like boorish buffoons. The lone female in the group could have charged a half-dozen of them with attempted assault were she not so good-natured (and hammered herself).
Good job of representing Temple, idiots.

Why are we wasting money on this! Eds little group of Temple students is not what Cape May needs right now. They are students, with no experience. We need to focus on maintaining our current services and not some project for the mayors alma mater.

Personally, I think the harborview park looks the best.
The skateboard park will never fly-both Upper and Ocean City have had to close theirs.
Take it as an example...It's a waste of money to build that.

Bishop McHugh
Shamus Roberts-Campbell, 10, raised $233.16 for Autism Awareness during the 16th Annual Polar Bear Plunge weekend held in Sea Isle City Feb. 13 and 14.
Roberts-Campbell, a fifth grade student at Bishop McHugh Regional Catholic School, felt the cause was important because he has two cousins who have autism. He spent the weekend in front of his family's restaurant, Shoobie's, located in the downtown area of Sea Isle, asking for donations for the fundraiser.
In return he handed out popcorn, Autism Awareness buttons and bracelets made by his cousin.

Just because East Lynne Theater Company isn't currently doing four shows a week in Cape May doesn't mean the company is idle.
This is the time to prepare for, along with other Equity professional theaters in the state, New Jersey Theatre Alliance’s (NJTA) "The Stages Festival," and "Family Week at the Theatre."
"The Stages Festival," which includes "Family Week at the Theatre," is a month-long, state-wide celebration of theatre and the performing arts with discounted and/or free tickets to all events, and programming for all age groups.

Bonsai Planters Just for Collecting
Not everyone who writes in wants to know the value of what they have. One reader found herself attracted to some of the bonsai planters she saw in the antique shops, but didn’t want to get involved in the intricate art of bonsai cultivation. I suggested cactus as a colorful and low-maintenance alternative.
Bonsai literally means “tray planting,” in Japanese, not to be confused with “banzai,” the Japanese rallying cry meaning “live 10,000 years.”

I do agree with you that Cape Winds Florist are the highest quality flowers ever seen. The video is very nice and remarkable. The conversation is very good to hear.
