...Middle East, that forsaken corner of the world that seems doomed to endless war, terrorism and zealotry. The chauffeur of your Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph will collect you at Dubai's palm-studded airport, transport you past the shimmering skyscrapers and finally pull up to a resort that feels a lot more like Las Vegas than Arab sheikdom.

Dartboard frequents fast food joints for the pure junk food taste—grease, fat and all—and suspects the rare diner that stops in as a last resort will never be tempted by the S-word hanging in the air. If it makes one person happy to consume a bucket of Coke, then so be it—Dartboard has been known to sip quite a few 44-ounce Big Gulps in her time...
