Of course my first thought was - we could do a jet ski show in that

Do you know what the fire code is there??

I didn't know it was literally a green zone!

I didn't realize there was an actual pool.

The picture is nothing but Iraqi propoganda. What he found was a fabrication. I'm in the desert. Camel spiders attacking me all the time. We have no dining facility and live off "Fear Factor" leftovers.

I told ya I was going to deny it!

So what time does room service bring you your chicken cordon bleu?

I have no doubts that Iraq qould be a really cool travel destination once the bombs stop going off. There's so much history in that part of the world.

I already put that in the system once...but let me try another "connection" and see if we can make something happen on that....

Just thinking out loud - I see Gulfbreeze posted a picture of the poster for Buffett Fest in another thread. Any chance that the people here stateside who helped out could get the equivalent of a BN nametag with that logo on it? I have no computer graphics talents but if it can be done I'll volunteer to pay for supplies and postage.

Crash doesn't want the logo used for anything other than the event itself in Iraq - at least for the time being.
He may be open to discussion once the event is over...

OK, I can understand that. Like I said, just thinking out loud.

Whew...I was getting worried...thanks for letting me know!

And Breeze...

I mailed the 2nd box yesterday (already notified the authorities ) but I have a question... how will we know when the box is delivered? Just curious. The first one should be there by now I would think.

I always try and let people know when I get them.

I thought I may have missed it... but no worries.... there is plenty of time! Thanks Crash!

I hope a couple of Virginia natives enjoy my special "Virginia" treat!

PHINdy to Iraq, with fun

Local Parrotheads will party tonight when their hero, Jimmy Buffett, performs in concert, but they also have helped organize what's surely the first-of-its-kind Baghdad Buffettfest, set for next month in Iraq.

It all started when PHINdy Parrot Head Club member John Jackson asked local Buffett buffs for help. A civilian contractor in Iraq since July, Jackson works for Kellogg, Brown and Root, a division of Halliburton. His job involves "maintaining and creating entertainment for the soldiers serving here in Baghdad," according to his recent e-mail.

Jackson, Indianapolis, has been thinking about organizing a Buffett bash since he landed overseas. Local club members, including founder and President Tamara Harrington and board member Sue Rearick, helped spread the word to the vast network of Buffett fans across the country. They responded, as did Buffett's restaurants, Jackson reports.

Beads, decorations, music, door prizes and even a 6-by-10-foot, 200-gallon swimming pool were sent to Baghdad to add to the Margaritaville atmosphere planned for Sept. 16 and 17.

Jackson is already thinking about an Indianapolis 500-themed soiree for next May. You can learn more about the Indianapolis club at www.phindyphc.com.


Oh...I also noticed this:

birthdays of note
