I got another email today, this time from one of g'nad's buddies in Bagdhad. Here it is, with minor redactions:

---------------------------

Hey Rick,

Don't know for sure about Col. J keeping one, but would imagine so. The people I watched him give them to, as well as the ones I've presented, are always quite grateful about getting them. I've been telling people that the knives are provided by some great Americans back in the states that appreciate what we're doing over here. I usually suggest that they can find out more about you guys by looking at the website emblazoned on the blade. Not sure if any of them have jotted you and email yet, but wouldn't be surprised.

And, yes, his callsign is "Gangster". Another little tidbit, he is highly positioned in the Sherriff's department in [redacted]. He mentioned in a side conversation knowing judges, etc. He was a great guy to go to war with, and no doubt a strong leader back there in the real world as well.

Hey, I think I'll attach a photo of one of your knives here in Baghdad. The background is known as the "Perfume Palace", because it's reminiscent of the fancy perfume bottles used in the Middle East.

Thanks again Rick. Looking forward to the next box.

Regards, ~~String

Re: TAR6 - is jremier still doing his play-by-plays?

I'm gunning for Team WWF.

That annoying "entrepeneur" guy really irks me. Seriously, I'd like to take a puppet to him. lol

Oh man...get some serious nappage by that stream.

A good place to sit and ruminate. Not about anything in particular...just ruminate in general, y'know.

[Corin Stormhands]

Cool. Thanks for posting.

How about some nausea? I ordered some of that a while back and it never did show up. Whoops... nevermind... there is now.

WOW!!! That picture has got to go on the Freeper Hobbit Hole website!!

That just is a great picture of one of the knives!!!!

Did you hear the one about the new Pirates of the Carribean?

It's rated ARRRRRRRR!

How did the pirate get to his boat?

He drove a cARRRRRRRRR!

Where did Mr. Pirate meet Mrs. Pirate?

At the bARRRRRRRRR!

I hate the entrepeur, but WWF lost me when she started screaming at him. Both those teams need to leave. I'm rooting, currently, for the couple that came in first last time. They were both so nice to each other all the time.

[RMDupree]

That is so very cool, Rick!

[Corin Stormhands]

I get some of that after I have one of the more severe coughing spells...

[SuziQ]

You gots freepmail! ;o)

[RMDupree]

Right? That's what I figure. Just to walk around Scottish glens until I find a spot like that one and just sit, think and nap.

It'll happen!

[Ramius]

Outstanding.

[RMDupree]

*groan*

I mean, gAAAAAARRRRRRRoan*

[msdrby]

Hi there Handsome!

[SuziQ]

Good to 'see' you! Autumn has grown up so much in the last year. Good luck with the adoption process! I'll keep y'all in my prayers.

[2Jedismom]

I was so completely blown away by that picture that I actually hauled the laptop (which I keep hidden and online under the jedis bed when Steve is home) into the livingroom, risking offending Steve mightily, and showed it to him!

I find it simply astounding...there's the knife...says "Hobbit Hole" right on it...and there's a palace in Baghdad right there across the water from it. For some reason I find it just mind-boggling...

Perhaps I'm over-reacting!? I don't think so. I mean, I know we've been sending them over there but this just really floored me!

[2Jedismom]

I'm just blown away.

[RMDupree]

Hey there, 2J!

You're not alone in your feelings. That is seriously a very cool and amazing picture. And it's so wonderful to know some our troops are carrying them around!

[Corin Stormhands]

Just walkin' with your dearie thru the heather on the hills?
