Letters from Iraq

Letters from a US Marine to Time Magazine:

Best Chuck Norris Moment — 13 May. Bad Guys arrived at the government center in a small town to kidnap the mayor, since they have a problem with any form of government that does not include regular beheadings and women wearing burqahs. There were seven of them. As they brought the mayor out to put him in a pick-up truck to take him off to be beheaded (on video, as usual), one of the Bad Guys put down his machine gun so that he could tie the mayor's hands. The mayor took the opportunity to pick up the machine gun and drill five of the Bad Guys. The other two ran away. One of the dead Bad Guys was on our top twenty wanted list. Like they say, you can't fight City Hall.

Genius, most of them are worth a read, Steve has more here.

I was supposed to be in Exeter today. draich_goch rang me to remind me and make sure I was awake. I put the phone down, and fell straight back to sleep, waking again at just after 1300. I turned on the radio instead.

OTOH this and this. Um, I put the links into my links list about 2 weeks ago, but forgot to post, that's it. mapp commented that it had worked before anyone else had put their contribution up. That means that the Google Bomb worked from just my journal. Um, that's scary, especially given that Mark's site doesn't have that big a PR in the first place (I just checked, it doesn't have a rank at all), that's quite scary.
