Bad news from home and two new videos
Tuesday, 15 November 2005 | 112 readers so far
My wife sent bad news from home today. I hope she’s coping OK. It’s hard to have a heart to heart talk when your only phone is a government line in the middle of a busy office. I feel completely inadequate being thousands of miles away when a crisis strikes and there really isn’t much I can contribute to solving the problem or mitigating the pain. Moments like those are moments when I want to say “Screw all you people, I’m leaving. My wife needs me.” Of course, that’s not an option.
Sorry honey, I wish I could be there for you.
Two more videos have been uploaded.
Desert Volleyball is a brief illustration of the pleasures of Kuwait.
Spookytooth’s Veteran’s Day Interview is a lighthearted attempt to show that even in a hostile fire zone, soldiers will find ways to have a good time.

freetranslation.comHola Trevor,
Usted realmente lo hace difÃcil de responder con algún humor de corazón ligero cuando usted tira abajo un mensaje enigmático oscuro como eso. Espero que todo vaya asà como puede. Permita T y yo sé si podemos participar en cualquier manera. Ahora para algo más no-sequitur. Procuro también parches de pelo facial. Yo también casi golpeé una sofá que se lanzó fuera de un camión de renta de HomeDepot en medio de 400 de camino a casa anoche. ¡Estoy seguro que chupó realmente para el tipo que golpeó realmente esa sofá! ¿Usted es el un hacer éstos filman clipes, o son usted obteniendo ellos proporcionaron a usted de en algún lugar? Quizás sabrÃa si cavé más profundo en su blog expansivo, pero “yo ain’ got T ese tiempo de kinda, meng”. ¡Estoy dar un tirón ocupado el teclado de seguir la beatitud eterna del sueño Americano- el consumo! ¡Nuestra oficina mueve en febrero, y regala algunos efectos de escritorio, tan si usted quiere un ramo de perforadoras de tijeras u hoyo- usted sabe quién venir a! ¿Hablar de juegos- qué juegos son usted queriendo para el Xbox? Yo simplemente no puedo despedir con la mina- era un único Chile- tan yo no comparto muy bien, pero estoy dispuesto a buscar los tratos en los juegos que cosquillearán su perilla. Si usted ha obtenido un ordenador portátil personal, quizás algunos juegos de computadora personal quizás sean del interés. ¡Acabo de tirar eso fuera allÃ- usted vuelve a mà en lo!
Espere hasta que usted invierta traduce esto- es tanto más chistoso que lo que escribà inicialmente. ¡Pero si usted quiere una respuesta grave- usted permite que mà saber!
TTYL- Dan

Dan,
This is how your solioquy translated:
You really does the difficult to respond with some humor of light heart when you throw down a dark enigmatic message as that. I expect that all go as well as is able. Permit T and I know if we can participate in any way. Now for something more not-sequitur. I try also patches of facial hair. I also almost struck a sofa that was launched out of a truck of income of HomeDepot in the middle of 400 of road home last night. I am sure that sucked really for the type that struck really that sofa! You are the a to do these film paperclips, or they are you obtaining they provided you of in some place? Perhaps it would know if I dug deeper in his blog expansive, but “I ain’ got T that time of kinda, mengâ€. I am to give a busy tug the keyboard to continue the eternal blessedness of the American dream- the consumption! Our office moves in February, and gives some office supplies, so if you want a scissors drills branch or pit- you know who to come to! Speaking of play- what play are you wanting for the Xbox? I simply do not say good-bye with the mine- was an only Chile- so I do not share very well, but I am willing to seek the deals in the play that will tickle its goatee. If you have obtained a personal laptop computer, perhaps some play of personal computer perhaps be of the interest. I have just thrown that was there- you return me in it!
Expect until you invest translates this- is the more funny than what I wrote initially. But if you want a serious answer- you permit that me to know!
Give me a couple days to figure out what you meant.

Thanks. I’ll let everyone know if I think of anything. I have a lot of people supporting me, thankfully.

The Vet’s day interview. As a reader and now a fan, I would like to request more interviews with snaggletooth at the microphone. Highly enjoyable.

Kuwait looks like it totally sucked.
Spookytooth rules!
I’m so sorry to hear that things are not well at home. Please ask if there’s anything I can do.

GunnNutt, thanks for asking. I am afraid there isn’t, unless you can help find homes for some of the dogs listed in previous entries. It is not working out well here at home without Trevor with the number of dogs we have. Doing rescue when there are two people at home is easier than one and better for the dogs too.

GunnNutt says:
Barb, I wish I could take at least one of them! You two are so wonderful for rescuing the dogs in the first place.
