I was a boy scout and learned the most important thing was honor. We never had a CHL option for merit badges.

-Annoying Orange
Oh... the persistence and sheer intelligence of this thread is too much for me. That's why I changed my Avatar from nothing to the "Annoying Orange". I promise, I actually first learned of the Orange in the
Wall Street Journal, which is what I read between issues of
Combat Handguns and
Soldier of Fortune.
IMHO, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are always better with banana slices. Also, recycled back issues of WSJ are cheaper than paper plates. After using as plates, they can be either Hoover Blankets or if too sticky, fire logs, then the ashes used in the garden.

RPB if you put a piece of aluminum foil under the top sheet of the WSJ every time, you get more use out of it as plates. Just tear the used page off, wipe off the tinfoil and insert under the next sheet. This also works well with old phone books.

Speaking of burgers...what's up with Wendy's square patties? Well squarish...they look kind of like a toddler cobbled them together after they're cooked.

They must be good. This is not the first Ive heard of them.
There's a little dingy hole in the wall joint here in Tomball that's famous
among the locals called Mel's Country Cafe that serves this burger.
http://melscountrycafe.com/Megamelpics.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Pics and rules...
Can you get your name on the wall?
How to get your name on the wall:
You have 2 hours to eat the Mega Mel Burger, and follow the rules.
THE RULES ARE SIMPLE
1. IF YOU LEAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR PLATE, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
2. IF ANYONE TAKES ANYTHING OFF YOUR PLATE, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
3. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO WALK AND TALK AFTER EATING THE MEGA MEL BURGER.
4. IF YOU GET SICK AT ANY TIME, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
5. YOU HAVE 2 HOURS TO EAT THE MEGA MEGA MEL BURGER.
6. WE WILL STOP YOU FROM EATING IF AT ANYTIME WE FEEL YOU ARE GOING TO GET SICK.
7. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO REMEMER THAT THE MEGA MEL BURGER IS A FUN EVENT AT MEL'S COUNTRY CAFE, SO PLEASE HAVE FUN WITH IT.
I haven't tried it but there's a whole wall full of names.

I'll out myself here, but I am a HUGE White Castle fan. I grew up on the stuff in NYC and still, to this day, go out of my way to eat White Castle when I am in a city that has them.
In & Out is a favorite whenever I get out to NorCal. I always go with the Double Monster. Can't go wrong there....
In San Antonio, there are a few places that have GREAT burgers. I am always fond of Chesters and Texas Burger Company. There is a place that has the Four Horseman burger called Chunky's. It's not a 'quantity' burger, but more of a 'can you stand he heat' burger. I will do it one day...Habaneros Jalapenos, Serranos, and Ghost Chilis. I'm ok with three of those...not the 4th.

I don't *think* it violates any forum rules. I would let my hypothetical 10 yr old daughter read this thread.
I would even let my ten year old grand daughter read the thread, if I had one that young.

We were asking about the CHL Badge and where we should place them on body...should we have a badge holder or hang it across our necks?....
The CHL badge goes on the shoulder of your uniform as with your woodsman badge and citezenship badge.

And don't forget your Ham Radio Operator badge.
