"Hey lady! I’m doin’ just fine! I don’t have any pictures yet, but rest assured. . .
I didn’t get Labor Day off. We only get one day a week off – Friday. It’s kinda weird having a Saturday to Thursday schedule. It’s starting to throw me off."
Plus some other junk. I miss Trip.
Please post good thoughts for our Desert boy here. He’ll be back before we know it.
Hi Tripler!
Glad to see you’re acclimating to the desert life. Think of the nice tan you’ll come home with and the interesting stories for the next Dopefest.

Hey, there Tripster,
Tripping the Light Fantastic at Camp D’oha in early September? Ahh, the balmy breezes, the tickling feeling you get when sweat drips down your back, the sand between the eyelids, I DO miss that part of the world. Near Beer and Shelf Stable Milk. Nectars of the Gods. Check in when you get a moment that isn’t filled with Wine, Women, and Song, wontcha? Those Kuwaiti wimmin are HOT!
Remember, never sleep under a tank track.
“Tripler of the Desert”?
Cool movie title, that.
Hi Trip!
Miss ya!
He’s complaining that if he wore a kilt, he wouldn’t keep a job.
I have to wonder about this.
Update:
Just got an email from Trip. He has limited internet access, and message boards are filtered out. No SDMB for him while he’s overseas…but wait!
I e-mailed him this page. I will continue to e-mail him threads that I think will be of interest to him. If you know what kinda thing he likes, let me know and I’ll pass it along.
Thank you. That is all.
Hey guys, thanks for the ‘shoutouts’! Unfortunately, I can’t read the SDMB from here (filtered out). So, I’m asking Gingy to post this in proxy (I like that word. Sounds cool.) In my short week in the desert, I’ve learned just a few things I might share with you:
[ul][li] When someone yells at you “10KD! 10KD!! You ride my camel, 10KD!”, don’t be fooled. No camel ride should cost more than 8.500KD.[/li]
[li] Puff Adders are nither puffs, nor can they add. [sub](Extra TripCo points if you can tell me this reference.)[/sub][/li]
[li] There really is a Starbucks everywhere on the planet. I visited one in Kuwait City, and I got a mug.[/li]
[li] Kuwait is just like New Jersey: Roughly the same size, lots of petrochemical industy, and the natives drive the same way.[/li]
[li] Living in a tent isn’t so rough. It’s the other 7 snoring guys that make life difficult. . .[/li][/ul]
Pictures as soon as I can, I promise. For now, feel safe knowing the fate of the free world rests in our hands, and of a “hubbly bubbly” (A ‘shihsha’).

Keeping Operation Southern Watch as stupidity-free as humanly possible.
Maybe you should send him thinksnow’s Sleep Apnea thread! 
And as far as that “fate of the free world” thing…stop it. Just stop. You’re scaring the children!
Oooooh I know… I know.
It’s Mike Myers - The “Talk Amongst Yourselves” Lady on Saturday Night Live.(Sorry I can’t remember the character’s name)
The Chick Pea is neither a chick nor a pea… Talk amongst yourselves.
