Zero: Girls with Guns
Ok, this shit is cool!!! I dunno why, but I think I've become a fan of the "gun babe" art genre... Ok, so maybe I've always been a fan of it. But still... it's... just... cool. In making a collection of this stuff I wish I got the magazine advertisements for the Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Command and Conquer 2 babes (SS Chick and Tanya)... *sigh* Oh, well. I'm sure they'll pop up somewhere.

El Feo Kern: A Beautiful Nightmare
well, I'm back at Al Asad again and during my travels (getting straight to the point of my post) i had the chance to watch the movie "A Beautiful Mind".
I was pretty excited about it since alot of people told me it was a great movie, but no one had told me much about the plot.
so needless to say i was giddy with anticipation knowing that
A) it was at least a "good" movie and
B) I knew nothing about it other than it had an actor i dont care to much for playing a guy that's really good with numbers.
So i pulled up a rather marred and twisted hunk of pipe metal with a pad taped to it (the locals called it a "chair") and pretended that the lights dimmed while catching faint whiffs of hot, fresh popcorn (which, out here, smells alot like burnt JP8 fuel btw).
that aside, it was a pleasurable experience...
up until the point i realized that it was a FUCKING HORROR FLICK!!!
DEAR LORD! I watched the last half of that movie through my fingers with my thumbs mashed firmly into my ears! and as i laid there SCREAMING in a pool of my own URINE I thought to my self "self... you're laying on your keys"
~fin~
Seriously that movie fuct me up...
ok, im done.

Zero: Speaking of pigs....
Kern, I dunno about the whole code in the Joepieee thing... I think you might be alone on that one... Although I guess if you kind of slow it down half-speed 30 seconds into the song it kind of goes to the beat of the Hymn of the Soviet Union.... Or not. Oh well, I tried.
But speaking of pigs.... Here's something interesting:
Upon hearing news that a whole patrol of his men had been slaughtered and that their bodies were mutilated terribly beyond recognition, General "Black Jack" Pershing of the US Army rounded up the suspected insurgents in a nearby village. He instructed his men to line up the insurgents in the center of the village where everyone could see. Pigs were then marched out in front of the prisoners and then slaughtered. The pigs' blood was poured over the prisoners and their entrails hung around their necks. Each one was then sumarily shot in the head; their bodies eventually buried with the pig carcasses. From that day on, the insurrection ceased almost immediately thereafter.
Supposedly, the prisoners were also force-fed pork before their execution... but I can't get anyone to verify that.
The 'insurrgents' were muslim. And the 'insurrection' refferred to above was the Philippine-American War. Am I alluding to something here? Probably... But if I am I'm not gonna spell it out for anyone...
Yes, that's a .45 caliber Long Colt Single Action Army... the other half of that victory. It's also the father of the M1911 and the .45 acp. Amen.

Well back inthe sandbox again. Hopefully not for too long however.
Just a little annoucement. I have decided that I will be rturning from Iraq in the somewhat near future. The time of my departure will be in August. I am hoping for August 1st but during a negotiation I have agreed to stay until my site closes or August 31st at the very latest.
So somewhere between August 1st and August 31st look for me on the horizon. I'm comin home.....

...And just for the sake of being totally off topic, always remember these rules for gun fighting:
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. A close miss is still a miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movements are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. (except me, I remember that kind of stuff)
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.
11. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
12. Always cheat = always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. Have a plan.
13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
14. Use cover and concealment as much as possible.
15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
16. Never drop your guard.
17. Always tactically reload and threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In god we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
19. Decide to be AGGRESSIVE enough, QUICKLY enough.
20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot up you will get.
21. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
23. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4".
24. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Shell: I agree
I tend to think the military people (as a whole) should get more money. As should fire fighters, police men etc etc. The jobs in which people face danger to protect the average joe. While I sit comfortably behind my desk making twice as much, Its just not right (thats the reasoning behind the nursing thing btw). I personally would much rather they get paid what I do and vice versa. In my mind they are the reason I have the freedom and opportunity I do; so they deserve the credit monetarily as well as the respect they already recieve.
Now this gets me into a huge rambling about the support our troops magnets on cars which I will not go into great detail on .... the basic idea is that the people around here who have those stickers all over their gas guzzling SUV's, are going to be the same people would fight anything that might hit them in the pocket book (taxes) to give the military better. Now I'm gonna shut up because someone might get confused and think I am not a liberal hippie (which I am dammit)....
On your point - I don't even get how this is even right the people in the towers/pentagon were there to work they didn't choose to face danger head on, kind of a wrong place/time thing. They're families are suffering I'm sure but no more than the military families. It really bothers me that it seems ok to us to pay the families off, or that the OKC people can come back a decade later and say hey we want to put our grubby hands in that pot. Noone suffered enough for a million dollars thats alot of freaking money.

Zero: What's a Military Family Worth?
What's a Military Family Worth?
by Rush Limbaugh
March 11, 2002
I think the vast differences in compensation between the victims of the September 11th casualty, and those who die serving the country in uniform, are profound. No one is really talking about it either because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11th. Well, I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.
If you lost a family member in the September 11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.
If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people that are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11th families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.
You see where this is going, don't you?
Folks, this is part and parcel of over fifty years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/deathpay.asp
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is pretty disgusting IMO. Especially when you consider the life insurance money that supplements the million plus dollars they've already recieved. And to think that they are asking for more? I can't fucking believe it... These people were VICTIMS. They are NOT Martyrs. They are NOT Heroes. And while it sucks what happened to them, they surely don't deserve to be given millions of dollars and benefits over the men and women who willingly fight and die honorably for this country/flag/political aristocracy.
I'm not apologizing for this rant either. The fact that some of my hard-earned money has been taken by the government and given lavishly to these VictimS who never ever have to work again gives me the right to bitch.

What's a Military Family Worth?
by Rush Limbaugh
March 11, 2002
I think the vast differences in compensation between the victims of the September 11th casualty, and those who die serving the country in uniform, are profound. No one is really talking about it either because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11th. Well, I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.
If you lost a family member in the September 11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.
If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people that are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11th families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.
You see where this is going, don't you?
Folks, this is part and parcel of over fifty years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad.

OMG,
You are correct. That is a video of me when I was 13 years old trying to get my music career started. That video is one I sent into several prominent record companies. Unfortunately I got replies telling me I was far too talented andwas ahead of my time. One record company just sent back a bag with some vomit in it but I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing/......Thoughts?

Zero: Re:'s
Thanks for all the B-Day wishes. Heh, it's one of the few days I even bother to celebrate anymore. Thanx... 'Means a lot.
I know I've been gone for awhile... I guess that means the vacation is going better than I thought... OR maybe it's only now that I've FINALLY found a high-speed connection worth a shit... Heh heh... I'm not telling.
Things have been good and I'm glad to finally be some place warm. I've also managed to somehow steer clear of getting totally wasted and drunk... ... ... Which is good.
[RT] K01e (Adam): Catch up with my mom sometime so you can get the things I sent you for your B-Day. The CD, I know, is long overdue... sorry 'bout that. The other one I hope you like. Oh, and MGS 3 fuckin' rocks!!!
Kern: Happy B-Day, man. (...if it's not today, it's tomorrow) ;-)
Jason/Kern: Have fun on your R&R. Fuck, I know I should have something witty to add to that... but whatever. Take Care.
Anna: Thanks for the pics. Everyone here (the Philippines) says hi. (No you can't drive the car) :-)
Jaz/El: Heh, thanks for the kind words. I hope you guys and the kid are doing ok. (No, you can't drive the car) (-:
Michelle: Good luck with your barbecue... sorry I couldn't be there... I know, I know... It just wouldn't be the same without me. *sigh* Oh, well. Remember the Lea&Perrins *glare* Have fun.
Tim-eh!!!: Tim-ehh!!!!
Josh: She can be a little shy sometimes... but I can assure you, she talks.
"WTF?!" you may ask? "A post from Gerry without pics?"
Don't worry they're coming.

Liz: Heh, yeah I'm still on R&R. Thanks for the email... and no I didn't 'start' any kissing marathons! (yet) ^_^

Shell: ya know
my nights are much less fun without you people to keep me company but you'll be home in the
next few days so its all good.
Final post about this BTW - I have invitations (rave type postcard things) for everyone. The last obstacle (someone to run the grill) got solved today so all is well and good. I'm thinking I'll have a special type cake just for Jason's urinating fascination.
Bob - has graciously offered to take whats left of the keg for me afterwards (it was very hard thing to convince him to do).
Kender - I need your phone number please email me it.
Ashley - hopefully I see you in the next few days, I have been able to get in touch or run into everyone except for you. I left you a message the other night.
Everyone else will get a call/visit from me at whatever place I normally see you, on Wednesday or Thursday. That's all.
