#18  GC9549 - Lol! Where the hell did they get those parasols, lol! Cajuns. I love 'em (and Nawlans) but it's hard to imagine they let them into the Military, lol! I'd figure on some sort of unofficial policy: Don't ask, don't be talkin' in yo mouth!

Too funny - Thx for the link.

#14  There's a definite TV series in the making here. J-Lo. Christine Aguilar. Paris Hilton's debut. Some dude named Mohammed off screen only. Mohammed's Maidens. Each week one of them gets her burqua ripped off during the chase scene when she slams the car door to quickly after initiating pursuit on foot.

#12  I'd bet that they're tougher than the Basij. And would be far less merciful / more bloodthristy.

#11  Oh, just noticed the rappellers. WTF? What's next, jumping through flaming hoops?

Reminds me of the last part of the Blues Brothers movie at the Cook County Tax Assessors office - "Hut hut hut hut hut hut"!

#8  Rex Rufus, that Gaddafi chick kinda has a "bring it, bitch" look that these burqa chicks don't. My money's on her.
