#5 I didn't think it got that hot outside of hell.

Maybe it doesn't -- what's that say about where our Bodyguard is?

#6 The closest I've been to hell was a wadi in Iraq. Afghanistan is worse in spots from what I hear.

#7 I've been in some pretty crappy situations both in Iraq and Afghanistan, but for all-around shittyness I think Somalia takes the cake. I can empathize with you OS, those Wadi's can make for a pretty big pickle if you in em, as opposed to overwatching em! Shittyness? Whoa! I think I just invented a new word to add to the Bodyguard Dictionary! Woo-Hoo! All is well, living the dream.

#8 if you in em This is why you shouldn't try to type with your laptop propped up on your belly. Shoulda been an "are" somwehere in there. Hooked on Ebonics worked for my dumb ass! Lotp, we're bellying up to the lounge for some of your Famous BBQ, I can smell the smoke all the way over here!

#10 Bodyguard---at that temperature, you are going to need a lot larger radiator!!!!! Drink plenty of wawa and stay safe. Hell, the Nevada Test Site was cakewalk compared to where you are.

You have my total respect!
