The Best D# Is A Great MOAB

Friday, 19 September 2008

Andy Carpenter
In the end, I had to flip a coin.
That’s how I decided in which order to run two responses I received regarding last Saturday’s IDE piece.
Among the nearly 1,000 responses you’ve fired back to me since last January, these two are in the top five for pure cool… funny.
And, they came in the same week. Are you all catching on to my shtick?

The first of these responses is from Steve S. He said that finding Osama bin Laden should be a snap.

    “First you need a black ops team to sneak into Dan Rather’s house one night and implant an RFID chip into his backside. Then you start a campaign to bring Dan back to the reporting forefront. Encourage him to get the interview of a lifetime with Osama.

    As Dan is meeting with Osama in the mountains of Pakistan, you drop a MOAB (mother of all bombs) using the RFID chip as a guide. Now you have killed two birds, plus all of Osama’s lieutenants, with one stone. You can make Dan a hero and stare the Pakistani government down, daring them to do something about it, while reminding them that you have 20 B1 bombers circling over their county, all carrying MOABs.”

Steve is totally onto something.

“Courage!”

This missive is from Mark N. in Colorado. He has a sweet take on the US Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service. I wrote about the MMS’s exploits and sexploits last week, too. By the way, I wrote “venal shenanigans” but I like Mark’s read better.

    “Andy, good article. But let me understand this right. First, I go to work, then I have sex. Then I get tickets for the Bronco's game. Damn, nothing could be wrong with that. You should be charging for a job application. You should be putting the applications on e-bay. The down side is you get fired? Most people are unemployed before they got the job in the first place. Now they get unemployment checks to boot.

Why Isn't This Making The News Any More?

The phrase ‘venereal shenanigans’ makes me uncomfortable, but tickets to the Bronco games I'm all in. Broncos made the Raiders look stupid on Monday. If they can get by San Diego then I think Cutler is the real deal… playoffs for sure. I'm guessing your either a Patriots or Dolphin Fan. They should replace the coke and marijuana with beer, other than that no complaints.”

Now, as to my team, I spent my youth up here in Massachusetts. It wasn’t until the 1960s when we got a team – the AFL Patriots.

On Sunday’s we watched the NY football Giants, which were always on WTIC from Hartford.

But, my dad was a Slinging Sammy Baugh fan, so I was raised on the Redskins. That worked out great because as an adult I ended up living in DC for a very long time.

And, by the way Mark, your Broncos definitely have some cut to their strut again. All you need now is a defense – D#.

Keep exercising those funny bones.

See you all Saturday.

Andy
