Episode 183: C-3P-Oh Yeaaahhhhh

Outline
07:58 - My wonderful girlfriend of four years is turning twenty one in a couple weeks, and I'm throwing her a surprise birthday party, inviting all our friends and even some friends from other colleges. I was worried about people mingling and getting along though, seeing as many of those people have never met. Are there any activities, other than drinking legally, that I can put on, make sure everyone has a great time? -- Perplexed Partier In Pittsburg

12:46 - Y - Sent in by Ira Wray, from Yahoo Answers user Books Where The Magic Happens, who asks: How often should catch phrases be used?

Just like people in real life, characters often have catch phrases or things uttered often. So the question is, how much is too much? How many times do you think is just the right amount?

19:04 - My girlfriend and I are visiting a city neither of us have ever seen before, and our question is this: should we plan out a long list of things to do and see beforehand, or is it more fun to just wing it? We don't have a ton of travel experience, we already have a place to stay and just about nothing else. We're going to be there for six days, and the city is Austin, if that helps. Thanks! -- Scouting In San Francisco

26:40 - I work in a type of service industry that not many people know about, but it is growing in popularity. I work in a rock climbing gym, hosting birthdays and private lessons. The problem is: I don't think people know it's customary to tip their belayer (the one that pulls in the slack of the rope while the climber climbs) after pulling the kids up a wall for about an hour. My question is: how do you ask for tips without asking for tips? -- Tipless Trainer
