Arbon at the Marine Corps

If you didn't know, this past weekend was the birthday for the Marines. This special day is celebrated across the nation with formal birthday parties. A friend of mine is in the Marine Corps and I went along to the party, which included the most ceremoniously cutting of a birthday cake I've ever seen. About six marines march a cake down an aisle laced with more Marines holding swords in the air. Then a couple Marines cut the cake using not a regular cake cutting knife, but a HUGE SWORD. My friend was involved with much of the ceremony, which left me to wander around the hotel (i.e. go straight to the bar). That's where I met a lady from Phoenix who sells Arbon products and is going to send me some of the latest in skin care products. Score!

Two observations from the evening:

1. The Marines have a really rich history full of tradition.

2. Marines have really big ears. (You could argue it's because they have their heads shaved, but I argue that people with big ears join the Marines.)



Edit: I just got my free Arbon and it is actually Arbonne.
