Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

[Minty]

Thanks! I just wondered because of what Fox said. Seems like they are not going to release anything of what is going there until the situation is contained.

Is this camera being run on a gas generator? I am curious about the set up here. Who is running the cam, the equipment involved, allowing such traffic to come through, who is Ahmed's favorite member on American Idol... that sorta thing.

[commish]

TEll me about it .. the other night Ahmed farted in front of the mike while he was sweeping and the sound almost blew me off my chair!!!

[mhking]

3:48A - they went to DST last night.

[ztiworoh]

Nah, Ive got my laptop running to my large stereo, so I can hear the bombings in Surround Sound

[Diddle E. Squat]

Chris Matthew just got Howard Sterned!

[TigersEye]

That's not funny! I resemble that remark!

LOL Heh, I've done it.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Well, we have another province on our side: (^:

Ontario Is With You, Eves Tells Bush ^
			TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Ernie Eves has escalated his campaign in support of the American invasion of Iraq by writing a personal note to U.S. President George W. Bush to say the Ontario government sides with Washington on the war. In another slap at the federal Liberals' decision to keep Canadian troops out of the Persian Gulf conflict, Mr. Eves sent a five-paragraph letter to Mr. Bush yesterday. "Dear President Bush: I have written to Ambassador (Paul) Cellucci to express our support for the United States of America. ...

[Timeout]

I saw that! Spammed by a Sternie! LOL!

[mhking]

Chris Matthew just got Howard Sterned!

Damn. I missed it!

[ztiworoh]

Elaborate

[Fledermaus]

Is it me, or is John Kerry starting to look like Fred Gwyne (in full Munster makeup)?

[Diddle E. Squat]

caller-"The civilians have been very welcoming"

CM-"Really? What are they saying?"

caller-"They are happy and asking for tapes of Howard Stern."

CM-"Really!?! But why are they doing that?"(long pause)"OK, I think we had a problem..."

[Aaron0617]

A caller on the Chris Mattews show said he was from Iraq at the Airport and said the Iraqis were polite and asking for tapes of Howard Stern.

I'm not joking.

Chris just said: 'You're serious'. Then his facial expression changed and said they were having a problem with the phone line.

Is it me, or is John Kerry starting to look like Fred Gwyne (in full Munster makeup)?

John Kerry's starting to act like Fred Gwynne in full Herman Munster make up....

[Numbers Guy]

caller-"The civilians have been very welcoming"

CM-"Really? What are they saying?"

caller-"They are happy and asking for tapes of Howard Stern."

The look on Matthews' face was priceless.

[TigersEye]

3:48A - they went to DST last night.

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the correction.

[SoldiersGirl]

This redrum view on the bagcam is seriously creepy.

[Timeout]

Matthews set up a phone call from a NY Times reporter at the Baghdad airport.

The "reporter" said the civilians were all very friendly and welcoming the 3rd. He said the 3rd was surprised at how little resistance they faced.

THEN he said..."Yeah, they're all asking us for Howard Stern tapes!".

Chris, to his credit, caught on immediately.

[commish]

More distant thump thump thump on the Bagcam ..
