Semi-random thoughts

• For years I've been saying that Iraq would be three separate countries within 15 years of us getting out. Now I wonder if it will be 15 months.
• I recently got a visitor to my blog from Mongolia. I think that's a first.
• My wife asked me to add a couple of tags to her key ring--her new gym membership card and a Godiva Chocolate frequent buyers card.

(724): My booty call just put me down for a reference for her job at the hospital. What am I supposed to say? She gives great bj's? http://tfl.nu/cp3t

(360): Gonna send a picture of my negative pregnancy test with the message "Merry Christmas" to the guys I've been sleeping with. That alone, will put a huge dent in my shopping list of gifts for people. http://tfl.nu/w1ks

(619): The bouncer was being really rude for no reason. Steph PICKED him up and physically MOVED him from our path on the way out.
