I just received a new yarn kit to make a Dragon Scarf. Is that a dragon pattern? Or like an illusion scarf? I'd love to see a picture if you could post it. Or I'll googlewhack until I find it, meh.
I hope this doesn't become some sort of cultural punchline, for the sake of all the people who deal with it who aren't evil. And I feel horrible for them. Not that it's not still funny. Humor is based around pain, this is something I have firmly believed for some time. Probably a defense mechanism for d
So, during my tireless efforts to be more aware of current events, and thereby a better soldier......(and for no other reason whatsoever) I watched the Daily Show and the Colbert report. What? They're news. Sort of. Look, they're not anything more than a funnier version of CNN and Fox with the gloves taken off. Anyway, I ran into this. <a href="http://www.fre
As I live in Egypt I am trying to learn Arabic. Keep it up, Al Misri loves company..............
When ya gonna be up here? I live on post just south of Tacoma. Weather allowing, wouldn't mind at all swinging up there to have dinner. Oh yeah, and dress warm. Snow, slush and ice for the last week.
Have so gotta dig out my old books and start over again before I go over.........
Can you post a picture of your Trebuchet? I've got awesome pictures........that I can't move anywhere outside the program that downloaded it from the camera, 'cause the Kodak "Easy Share" (HA!) software I've got is a bitch to work with, and I haven't had time to sit down and figure the frickin' thing ou
Wow. Those closely guarded secrets of warfare in the Ancient World? Yeah. There's a reason for that. They worked their collective asses off to figure it out empirically. Well, that and you don't want your neighbor to know the best methods of storming your fortifications. With that, I am proud to announce that after only six hours of careful work and considera
As far as your son, I am only catching, "Mom, is there any...?" It sounds like "gain"...lol I'm gonna go with "Is there anything else............"
And now I'm watching El Cid I haven't seen that in years, good flick. SSG L and I went to the Baker Street Coffee House I used to get a club s
Nice beard, but YOU look frickin' tired. Go back to bed after you read this.
I wish you had done it here, but then maybe I can wangle a trip out west to really see it! If I don't hurry, you'd have to take a trip east......way east. Dang it! That was my truck! Ye
"without American support there would be no Britain." Fair enough. Without the British, there would have been no America..........if for slightly different reasons. And also during a couple of wars that were started for somewhat doubtful reasons, in which they fought side by side........and front to fr
No s--t there I was, baked beans in the gas tank............oops, wrong story. I have decided, before I go to Iraq to fulfill my lifelong dream (and by lifelong, I mean at least two years now) of building a trebuchet. What might you ask, is a trebuchet? Think catapult, with a sling instead of a bucket. It is easily differentiated from other siege equepment;
Been there, done that, welcome to Texas Your first close one get's real interesting like. Haven't shook hands with one in 'bout ten years. Hey, don't forget to try those Czech places in West, Texas if you're going up I-35. Haven't been there in a few years, but they were great when I was. Another good one to remember in Texas if you're ever driving to San Angelo is the
Last night about bedtime, I forgot a crucial difference in the two species. The analogy goes like this. Woman's car breaks down. Because it breaks down, she has to deal with crap all day. Taxi company doesn't want to pick her up, her boss gives her shit, she loses a vital oppertunity, whatever. Take your pick. She comes home upset, frustrated, almost in tears
Congratulations on the new place! When you get it, of course........Sorry about the trouble with henry. If I can get your address before you move, I've finished your scarf. Just drop me an email.
No draft. Blech. Ostensibly because soldiers are uneducated morons ala John Kerry's impression This just keeps getting old. My college GPA was higher than Kerry's. It's not politically correct to call us wrong or evil anymore for
Drove through a spot in arkansas where a truck had turned over and dumped cow innards all over the highway for maybe a quarter mile or so. It was bizzare. Looked like something out of DOOM 3-D. Two hours later, finally passed it, and the cleanup crew consisted of one guy with a snow shovel going as fast as he could............ Knit, knit like the wind!!!!
WOW, socks after a scarf? I admire your initiative. Ditto. Although I finally got an in the round needle, and am planning to try it out by making a matching hat for dharma's scarf. Socks. What's the worst that could happen? "Local trucker killed today in industrial grade yarn accide
As part of the joys of preparing to deploy, we get to fill out these really cool packets that tell where we keep our wills, who our next of kin, all that good stuff. And funeral arrangements. Did you know that Jedi is now considered a legitimate religion by the Army? I'd love to see how far they would actually take some of the requests. I'm baptist, but I ca
I think if I were dying of something they would call me. I used to think that. Until the whole Legionnaire's thing........or the bit a few months ago.....we think your wife may have a brain tumor............we can get her in to see a neurologist in five or six weeks...............sigh. Yay, army medici
which book The Night Room As long as you have a bayonet you can hold off the enemy until they get within M9 range. Gee, what's a bayonet? Oh, n
I had a p.t. test yesterday. Apparently it is possible to skip p.t. for six months, work out like crazy the day before, and pass the test. Raw score: 54 pushups, 70 situps, and a whopping 16:00 minute two miles. My worst score in a few years, but meh. The only bad part was the tape test (since I busted weight, obviously). 36.5 inches at the waist, and 15.75
So, if you are a listener, or saw his profile on "60 Minutes" you'd know he is educated. So he's an educated moron. You can lead a horse's ass to philosophy, but you can't make him think.
