    My dear mujaheddin, when I say that you are like a stream of bat’s piss, I only mean that you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around it is dark

  2. Ana says:

    Is that Oscar Wilde in a dada moment? Or is my lightbulb flickering?

  3. gail says:

    Finally, a Monty Python reference that somebody else didn’t recognize….It’s from the Oscar Wilde

    Sketch.

    Your Majesty is like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top.

  5. Come on Jeff-y.. Lets have a bit of wit then, man..

  6. gail says:

    There’s only one thing in the world worse than being witty and that is not being witty.

  7. Ana says:

    Wee, you could be the clap.

  8. Ana says:

    Well

  9. gail says:

    The only thing worse than being compared to a venereal disease is not being compared to a venereal disease. Wait a sec, my wit generator is on the fritz…

    If I’m reading this right, apparently Jeff knows kids who climb on lollipops.  Gives ‘em that lived-in flavor.

  11. Well, either that perfectly awful desert camo goes or I do.

  12. Ana says:

    Precisely what kind of Hummer were you talking about? ‘Cause one kind has something in common with a lollypop while the other is just a vehicle.

  13. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Aha!  I believe you’ve stumbled upon the source of the confusion between Wilde and his soldier friend…

  14. gail says:

    Mr. Wilde has just announced that he will be the new international spokesman for this new brand of soap.

  15. oh, i’ll have to warn my husband about this before his next deployment.

  16. Gamer says:

    I have images of lollipops, hummers, and Michael Jackson roiling about in my head.

    Please, make it stop!

  17. Forbes says:

    Soldiers call ‘em trucks, FYI.

    wink

    Whoo.  I wondered who that was down at the motorpool the other day.  As if Geraldo Rivera and Al Franken coming here wasn’t enough, now Bagram gets the ghost of Oscar Wilde snarking at us…
