My laptop got smashed by my new Army friends during a mission yesterday, so this site is gonna be quiet for a few days until the company can get me a new one out here. Blogger is blocked on most military computers (but not this one, so take that) and so is hotmail, so work email is the only reliable way to get ahold of me, and even that's not great.
God-willing we'll have all this squared away in three or four days. Say and extra prayer that I don't pick a fight with some private for wrecking my stuff.

We will have to see what the "reporter's notebook" says about this part of your adventure. Much love!
When you get your tools of the trade back we've got to know why or how it got smashed. I don't blame you for not wanting to trade it for that private's standard issue AK-47. Did you have to explain to him that the mouse is mightier than the morter?
Be safe.

Looks like Mission Accomplished for your new Army buddies.
Laptops make excellent jump seats, car jacks, target practice dummies, and even a wonderful pretend robot friend when you tack weld a tripod to its base.
And there is no better way to acknowledge a new laptop than to sloganize it.
The Military Issued Laptop Goes Straight to your Head.
8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Military Issued Laptop.
Sometimes You Feel Like a Military Issued Laptop, Sometimes You Don't.
And last but not least,
Military Issued Laptop. It's What's For Dinner.
Good luck on the replacement.
I'm sorry, but this one is perfect.
Nothing Sucks Like A Military Issued Laptop.
I promise I'll grow up now.
ummm, yeah. i'll say a prayer, but i think it's probably not a good idea to pick a fight with your new army buddy. i know you have this new haircut that makes you feel all cool and tough. but trust me, you are not. so just smile and nod and for god sakes, can't you put back together a smashed computer with your eyes closed by now? didn't the boy scouts teach you anything?! lousy good for nothing knee sock wearing jerks.
I hope that you can find a way to fix what went wrong and either get a new computer or try to fix yours.Oh, and one other thing, don't go around killing anyone even though this happend.

dude, don't pick a fight with your privates.
Get it? Get it?!!
Seriously, you know this is all a military ploy to control the press, right? You'd better just lay down for this one. Although i disagree with beth, this haircut makes you look neither cool, nor tough. Perhaps prettier to the guys who have been away from home for too long. Is the military monitoring this blog? I love george bush. He is very smart. Go team.
Oh, and are you telling me that you can get Snakehead terror for 35 cents and not go pick up a laptop from a street vendor for 6 bucks? What kind of democracy is this? There's a news story in here somewhere. Seriously, if you didn't want to write us, just say so.
headline of the day:
A dozen writers threaten walkout from "America's Top Model" reality show. In other news, it apparently takes twelve people to write a reality show about wannabe supermodels
what? leo stops writing so the rest of you nerds disappear? what a bunch of willie nillies. That's right willie nillies.
I decided to use the Magic Eight Ball of the Internet and Sloganize Willy Nillies.
***
The first one is simple and decisive.
"Willy Nillies: The Other White Meat. "
***
The next one expresses one's feelings of futility towards the Willy Nilly movement as a whole.
"If You Can't Beat Willy Nillies, Join Willy Nillies."
***
Number three is a conspiracy theory driven slogan.
"Everything We Do is Driven by Willy Nillies. "
***
The final one is a slogan of acceptance, even a sense of belonging.
"Willy Nillies Is Our Middle Name."
After 10PM on a Saturday night I would recommend sloganizing just the word "Willy", but that really isn't appropriate here. The Internet is not a place for raunchy material, blue language or senseless depravity.
Captain Awesome ! Can't you call Dell about your laptop? Didn't the gov't get the good coverage plan?
please watch your language on this blog.leos mommy reads each one. no more talking about privates. and quinnocent has real guts commenting about your lame haircut when you are on other side of world.willie nillies was my best friend so tell squinnt to back off. Your Mom never had an adopted brother. we bought your mom in a rice bowl collection years ago.
Let's all take a moment to remember the laptop that brought us several of our favorite moments "off base from Fort Awesome:"
I chatted with a 24-year-old Afghan interpreter who spent several years in Pakistan as a refugee and called the sheep with big rumps all around the area "J Lo sheep."
This dude sat on the edge of the bird the whole flight, scanning the ground for bad guys and acting as if he was lounging in a deck chair (note the little cushion under his tushie). I managed not to hyperventilate this time, but I did have a good white-knuckles grip on that camera.
My hair is all stumpy and characterless. My other IDs have already started making fun of it.
For dinner, I had lobster tail again -- apparently this is a military standard once a week, probably because of all the great seafood you can catch out here in the desert.
SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!!!!!!!!
Con: My min-satellite thinks I'm in Pakistan
Pro: My editors don't know where to find me to complain about stories
Everyone knows that between mid February and mid July nothing really matters, save for a brief weekend of relaxation around the draft. I believe the church refers to it as "ordinary time."
We'll miss you, laptop.
Rest
In
Peace (or Pieces, whichever works)
And when did the Fort Awesome comment section become the Quinnblog?
:-)
p.s. Playing with HTML tags can be fun!
:-D
Huh? You're fighting with your privates?
I agree. Quinnocent and Squinnt are jerks. Carry on.
I agree. Quinnocent and Squinnt are jerks. Carry on.
since this has become the quinnoying comment pages, lets expand on his adventures this week:
while his poison ivy continues to spread, mr. quinept has decided to add some more excitement to his life... last night he got in a glass tossing contest with his brother (you know, like the egg toss we used to do in grade school to see who would get caked first), which resulted in a rather large gash on the palm of his right hand. (it made me a little queasy, and i don't normally have trouble with that sort of thing... i did skin and dissect a cat in high school like the rest of you sickos.) i must mention that he was valiantly trying to protect me from the glass i had already caught when he sliced open his hand. in my opinion, he needs stitches; in his, he'll wait and see how deep a wound has to be to root poison ivy plants in his hand.
the only solace in this story for the rest of you: he hasn't figured out how to use the mouse on his computer since this last injury...
oh yeah, and say a prayer for joanna... i moved back in!!!
Apparently Capt Awesome can use the Internet for work purposes.
Whats up with that?
Boogersnots,
Hook Ope-Quin-Wound up with out2lunch. out2 has spent many an afternoon Krazy Gluing appendages back on.
You should be thankful he didn't get into a chainsaw tossing contest. Those can get ugly fast.
Apparently this blog must have been dropped or run over by the same private that destroyed Leo's laptop, cause I posted something yesterday and today...like Keyser Soze....whooosshh....it's gone! Anyway, I better talk nice about privates...my sister is a Pvt. now, and I don't want her kickin my a$$ when she gets out of Fort Bragg if she finds out I was talking trash about privates. Yesterday I posted a funny comment using the word "strateegerie" borrowed from Will Farrell playing W on SNL a few years ago...but that was yesterday, and now, it just doesn't seem all that funny...
JO!!! Thanks for coming out with Lee all the way to Malvern to see me play. Dingus out.
