You know you're in trouble when the CO says, "Donovan, get in here!" Likewise, I know I'm in trouble when the email subject line is: "Beth, DO NOT read this email..." Uh-oh. It then continues... Armorer, Cheer UP, a$$hole! We aren't going to lose and we aren't going to turn into buggering Macedonians. Love, Dusty P.S. Try this for a laugh...it's how American newspapers should REALLY report the news. (H/T: Lileks) Heh. Of course, CAPT H *did* send me news that uplifts me. Sackings. No, I'm not uplifted that... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html Wed, 23 May 2007 06:00:17 -0600 I've been doing that - and now MNFI is also sending out their 'good news' stuff without waiting on CENTCOM. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60321 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60321 Wed, 23 May 2007 20:47:33 -0600 Well you weren't referring to it Dusty was so we can still pretend it means whatever we like. Maggie peeks, I wheel out the Super 8. And it isn't that bad. We the people who care are just focusing on the problems. People always home right in on the problems. Maybe we could drum up some good news too so we can all be reminded of the other side of things. You know roads and schools and babies puking. That sort of thing. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60320 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60320 Wed, 23 May 2007 20:24:20 -0600 I do. But then, I'm a girl who peeks. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60304 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60304 Wed, 23 May 2007 13:42:14 -0600 *I* feel compelled to note that the "Macedonians" I was referring to inhabit the political classes... and we care not what their behind-the-scenes amorous activities are. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60289 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60289 Wed, 23 May 2007 09:41:18 -0600 "we aren't going to turn into buggering Macedonians." Best. Line. Ever. Dusty! You rock! I can not possibly convey to you my relief that the men of the Castle are not going to "turn into buggering Macedonians."!!!! ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60288 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/speaking_of_bei.html#comment-60288 Wed, 23 May 2007 09:22:24 -0600
