#1 I'm guess the swords are for Allen approved beheadings.

#2 Pellet Guns. Made me think of Chevy Chase and John Candy on the roller coaster in Vacation.

#3 (2) improvised Bangalore torpedoes
(1) Pakistani #36 green grenade
(3) Chinese M-6 fuses

Surely these are new, not pre-invasion stockpiles? And am I correct that these are not the best sources of supply? Were the swords poorly made, rusted and blunt?

#8 If the timer is for a Maytag, I'll pay $10 for it. The wife is really on me about getting the machine fixed.

#10 I thought it was dishdasha, with two ds. Am I wrong, or is this a simple spelling error?

etc.

#17 Yes, dishdasha has two d's.

100' of wire. Suggests to me that you needn't look much farther than 100' in many cases.
