if those bunkers are like the ones in Afghanistan they must be some short people in there. Or they’re sitting on something, anyway, my 5’9″ arse had trouble squatting into one of those things, not my idea of a place to hang but locale probably hd something to do with it.

Huh? I’m a mom; we can’t be pro-smoking. Simply not allowed.

I didn’t realize we were under the Mom contract. In that case, you should be pro-smoking, and i’d quickly switch sides and be anti-smoking.

I only do hookah! And very rarely at that.

Yeah, that’s all we want, a little room in the back. It will even be on it’s own separate ventilation system.

mabsba now in training — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:47:25 +0000

But as a Mom, I am obligated to scold you both for smoking. It’s in the contract.

No! Smoke gives me bronchitis! (Of course, the bloody facility is half a mountain, so maybe a small area near the back….)

with an empty toilet paper roll, some of that toilet paper, and a can of febreeze…we could smoke in the corner and mabs would never know it

Can’t we install a hookah room? *sad puppy dog eyes*

You been ninja’ed! And there’s no smoking in the NTRBS. (Maybe I should change it to fallout shelter for the sake of the acronym?)

Probably flavoured tobacco. Different flavors are added to the tobacco that is smoked from hookahs. I like the fruity ones best.

popular in india, and the middle east in general, instead of cigarettes and cigars they smoke tobacco out of hookahs. its more of a social thing, and the tobacco soaked in molasses makes it taste sweeter and burn longer. and i’m encyclopedia brown in case you needed to know anything else.

What the heck is molasses tobacco?

we used to have a bunker very similar to this on our jss in northern baghdad province. we’d sit around after missions and smoke molasses tobacco out of hookahs and play poker. good times ^_^

I was thinking that they never adjust to the time difference over there, it’s night in their home timezone.

C’mon everbody! Let’s have a hoedown!

Oh, Lord loves a hangin’.
That’s why He gave us necks.
It tightens up our vocal cords
And loosens up our pecs.

So if you are a horse theif
And guilty to the bone,
Go ahead and blame a friend
And you won’t hang alone.

It may be hard to swaller,
But you’ll be three feet taller.
It’s a dandy way to entertain your friends.

You say you are a villain,
But can’t abide by killin’;
Go ahead a steal yourself a horse.

Oh, Lord loves a hangin’.
And so do we, by heck;
So get yerself a lasso
And decorate your neck.

Oh, we is awful ignorant
And uglier ‘n sin;
So go ahead ‘n cut us down
And hang us all again,

Hangin’ that is. Swing a spell…

I think this is in the polar regions and it’s the “white nights” phenomenon. You can see the effects of global warming already.

Apparently their nights have a lot more sunlight than ours. Must be a Middle-Eastern thing.

Looks like Balad, which is probably one of, if not the, best place to be if you’re in Iraq. Poker nights all over the base, too.

What i like is seeing representatives from multiple branches. All branches talk smack about the others, but everyone is tight when it’s time to do work.
