Just to clear up a few loose ends:
-- Bagram, where I've been for the last week, has nice showers and a laundry room. I'm not saying that I actually qualify as "clean," but I don't smell funny.
-- I'm supposed to travel today, but my flight has already been delayed by 14 hours. Mom has been praying that the flight gets cancelled altogether so that I can start heading back towards home, but so far she has only managed about half of the full-day's delay we'd need for that. Still, don't mess with mom.
-- Despite what I said, I did not see the whole pre-season game. I actually missed about half of the fourth quarter when there was a power outage on base. The lights came back on just in time to see Bruce Perry's concussion. Ugh.
-- I missed Hank Baskett's work too. But let me be the first to say that when he catches his first TD, if Chris Berman doesn't say "And McNabb PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKETT" I'll be very disappointed.

6 hours and no post from quinn (or Sir_Quinsalot, or Qintastic, or Quintabulation, or whatever moniker he feels like today)? I'm shocked. He must be slipping.
I can understand why there's no comment from T.O., heck there was barely any football mention in this blog entry. Still, I'm shocked at quinn not commenting yet.
So, our prayers only have to stall you for 10 hours from your post? Or 4 hours from now.
* starts up the Prayer-Be-Yours 28,000 *
I'll do my best to help Mrs. Cap'n Awesome get you home!
Thanks, kidsmartypants! We're still praying for captawesome. I have it on good authority that Quinn can't blog again until he finishes reading the encyclpedias that he borrowed the other day. Heard he's already up to volume Q....
I don't smell funny either.
At least I don't think so.
Hey, if I were you, I'd test by standing next to a camel. If people linger near the camel, you have a problem.
So, based on this new "ronning" game and your lack of meat-sweats, I figured I would come up with some little quotes using movies and songs:
"Ron, Forrest, RON!!!"
"So wherever I was going, I was RONNING."
"Mama, what's wrong??? I'm dyin' Forrest...I've got the Meat Sweats..."
"Baby we were born to ron..."
"Ronning On Empty"
"A do ron ron ron, a do ron ron..."
"Ron like hell..."
"Leave the gun, take the kielbasa."
"Brody, drop another meat line..."
"She was the greatest piece of steak I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world."
"It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the sausages."
"Martin, it's all psychological. You yell cheeseburger, everybody says, "Huh? What?" You yell filet mignon, we've got a panic on our hands..." and a lot of hungry hungry people showing up at Fort Awesome on Labor Day weekend.
Joanna's wife and I are planning on coming down whenever you want us to, but if we can't stay IN Fort Awesome because you already have enough visitors, I plan on setting up my tent on your front lawn and tailgating until the Labor Day festivities begin.
Oh yeah...we gots Dawkins til at least 2008. And I suggest that when you come home, we get a trash can and burn your clothes...cheaper than trying to get that camel stink out of them.
i know, i actually fell asleep before 7 am last night. i did post before hitting the sack tho - doesn't that count for anything?!
major dingus, you should plan on setting up capm in the back yard... the holes have already been dug for the mini-golf course in the front yard. by the way, does anyone have a giant metal fire-breathing dragon? it's the last piece we need to complete the whole fortress themed course.
leo, you're gonna love the new, improved fort awesome. can't wait to see you!
I don't have a fire breathing dragon, but I did have some kicking Kung Pao chicken for lunch.
Does that count?
I know the Eagles propaganda machine is always running full tilt, however I completely believe most things that they say about Hank Baskett, but with a few clarifying statements.
For example, I believe them when they tell me that Hank Baskett has been by far the best receiver in camp (read : Hank Baskett is tallest midget we have in our circus.)
I also believe them when they say that they really wanted Hank Baskett on draft day when the drafted Jason Avant in the fourth round ( read : "Oh crap! We just drafted Jason Avant. Now we need to draft an ACTUAL wide receiver. I hope we can get Hank Baskett).
And finally, I believe them when they make the claim that Hank Baskett, an undrafted free agent, will not only make this team, but crack into the top three spots ( read : If you would like to try out for the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver corps, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope to :
Philadelphia Eagles
1 Nova Care Way
Philadelphia, PA 19145
)
Oh, and Westbrook sat out of practice today with a foot injury. It sure feels good to have 3 of our 4 total running backs all sitting out of practice with injuries.
