Hmmmm... hmmm.... The Wrath of the Viking Kitties...

hmmm.... Who was that FReeper who is an SCA member extraordinare?... She'd like to get in line for this job... I even printed out her page to show my buddy... all I can recall now is that she likes broadswords and has dark hair.

I think there would be some serious rehersal time needed, too.

Teaser: What really went on between Achmed and the Italian reporter during the heat and passion of battle?

[Far Right Field]

Well, to say part of history sounds really large and hard to grasp. I know that it's part of my history now. Some of the things people come up with here are just beyond funny, touching, thought provoking, heart-wrenching...just beyond words, but somehow someone finds a way to express it that everyone can relate.

Someday I am going to get a box (a really big box!) of paper and print out some of the best moments, because I want to make sure that I don't forget anything.

I did not make that statement lightly. And yes a book, or several, of the more appropriate posts should be made. How to edit and select from close 100,000 posts? The decapitation bombing, the race across the desert, the Karbala action, the race to the Airport and the rolling thunder run by the 3rd ID. The humor of the Pali hotel, the BagCam bombing shots, the suicide attacks, the mounting casualities, the 507th ambush and the Al Jazeera video. Then the tanks in Liberation Square and the statue coming down. The list goes on and on. Which is historically significant? Will history view the reconstruction of Iraq sympathetically?

One of the other things I noted was the sense of community growing in the sitroom, itself a very real phenomenon. I think the sitroom chronicles may become the definitive source for future historians, pyschologists, and bloggers.

Do the Viking Kitty outfits come with push up bras?

[retrokitten]

What were Achmed and Norm Habib really building?? hhhmmm....

[Mrs.Liberty]

Thanks!

SG..if I posted what you wrote, they probably would pull my post!!

[Far Right Field]

If there is a movie made, I am putting in a request right now that I want a tall, very thin woman to play me. Uh, it might not be how I really look, but its still my request :)

Ann Coulter?

[Mrs.Liberty]

I was thinking that too...but I understood her sentiment. ;-)

[Cate]

You'd want to make sure all your moves looked natural.

"Did anyone just catch Vallely on OReilly: his sources say that no WMDs will be found in Iraq, they have all been moved well in advance of the war to embarass the US in not being able to find them. Not good."

I have been beginning to suspect as much. Why didn't they then just invite us in to see for ourselves. They could have remained in power! I don't see how we can just walk away from Syria and the rest of the region. If we don't clean out the hornets nest, we will get stung later.

[Cate]

Ooh, yes, she would be very good. But in all fairness, I don't think we're the EXACT same intellectually. But she could act with half her brain tied behind her back like Rush.

[bootyist-monk]

Wanksta Rap

[SoldiersGirl]

LOL
it was a suggestion :P

[SoldiersGirl]

oooohhhh
LOL
best wanker joke yet

[AFPhys]

I doubt those Viking Kitty outfits come with push-up bras... more likely some of those tough-looking heavy brass cups.

[retrokitten]

LOL!!! Now they both live in Wanksta Paradise!

[Far Right Field]

Ooh, yes, she would be very good. But in all fairness, I don't think we're the EXACT same intellectually. But she could act with half her brain tied behind her back like Rush.

There is an idea. Hire conservatives to play wankers and wankers to play conservatives. Then we would find out who can act. (he he)
