Greetings from the War(s) on Terror

[Torque]

Hey it's Torque, I'm overseas. I thought I'd just drop a line and say hey. I sat down in a tent that had access to the interweb and looked blankly at the screen. I already had all my bills lined up, told my closests that I wouldn't feel like talking for the first thirty days (it's true), and I've got thirty minutes to breakfast.

What do I do on a public computer, severely restricted in the middle of a wasteland?  I'll say hi to my buddies at GreaterMUD. I stopped playing a while back because of Gardner and what he does with the pvp realm -- not a gripe, I just needed a break. I'll probably be back if I ever settle in here, but it may be awhile. I always wished this project would flourish. Did I mention, Vitoc, I would sponsor an unmoderated pvp Realm?

What's it like here? Dusty. Yup, hanging out with dusty. He's kind of a dick. I'm a medevac pilot in the army, so it's kind of like a firefighter but with a different set of skills. I have some good friends here with me (that I work with). Age ranges from you name it to Gardner old, and so does race. Oh! And nationality! We're not allowed to take pictures, but last night I watched a match between Americans and Germans playing foozball, while the Croatians were waiting their turn. I constantly have to study material because there is so much to know it would take twenty years to memorize it all. I'm not on edge about combat at all, since our biggest enemy is the weather. I'm sure if you looked at any war since gunpowder you could say im worried about small arms fire and later, rocket propelled grenades, but lets be honest, I'm not here to give a threat assessment. Life is good, I eat well, and my bed is made of cardboard and rusty springs.

I won't drone on, but being an American is pretty bad ass, actually being an Allied is. Compared to an Axis, or whatever they call them nowadays.

I hope this random update has been fun for you, and I am mildly interested in seeing some people who hate me say mean things. Protip: If you hate me, just remember that I'm happier than you, and I live out of a bag and get shot at. Another shameless plug: I haven't forgot about you guys, who are too cool for school. You guys are really really cool. And everyone respects you because of your behavior. Solely because of your behavior, and your intelligence. Okay I just spent a lot of energy trying to incite some of the old times we all used to have, so dont let me down. Also, thanks for the fun over the years. Hope to see you soon

It's touching to know you stared blankly at the screen, with the entire corpus of human knowledge at your fingertips, and decided to come here. I enjoyed your tale though.

[Hurricane Omega]

Torque, thank you.

[Gardner Denver]

Thank you for your service.  Be safe.

[Chaucer]

I'm a bit surprised that you seem approach what you do with a good attitute.  Much respect. Be safe.

Don't leave us in suspense! Who won the epic foozball tournament? Were they co-ed Croatians? Why do monkeys throw poo?

Sincerely,
