I'm currently working at Kandahar Airfield (KAF) and have spent a lot of time here the past two years. KAF is rocketed by insurgents on a regular basis, the frequency probably averaging three times a week. A rocket attack is typically a non-event, as these mother fuckers don't really aim at anything in particular and only point the rockets in the direction of the massive airfield in the middle of the desert. Getting hit or hurt by a rocket would be like getting struck by lightning, in terms of odds. However, tonight, I was sitting outside of my living area with a coworker/buddy sipping on some bootlegged whiskey, and a rocket landed and detonated less than 100 meters away. No one I'm associated with was hurt but the adjacent compound was hit directly. It was so close. My SCotD is that I was legitimately shaken up, and am even more compelled to quit my job.

That's pretty badass. Glad everybody was okay.

Ugly Bastard · 08-28-2011, 01:43 PM

How is that badass? It's more like scary as shit and unfortunate.

Mr. Blonde · 08-28-2011, 01:55 PM

I realize you've probably never been in too many dangerous situations, but the fact that he and everyone else got out fine makes dangerous situations great stories after the fact. Tons of shit is potentially dangerous in life, and tons of situations end in tragedy. This one in particulary didn't, because he got lucky.

Surviving dangerous situations because of luck is badass.

Saint DH · 08-28-2011, 02:41 PM

No one was killed, the story was lame.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 08-28-2011, 06:03 PM

more people should have been killed in this story imo

Orgazmo · 08-28-2011, 07:49 PM

You wouldn't understand what it's like having a rocket land 100 meters away from you, UB. Blonde's friend cut his foot once, though, so he's privy to that type of thing.

Saint DH · 08-28-2011, 08:22 PM

I would imagine that there are few things more traumatic than having your friend's foot get cut. I've never experienced such a horrible catastrophe, though, so I can't really say for sure.

Thoughts as to what you'd do instead?

Graduate school most likely, fall of 2012. Or travel for awhile. Owning a house limits me somewhat, although I don't think I'd have a problem renting it.

Any prospects in London?

ninjaface · 09-17-2011, 07:04 PM

I like VAST.

The song that plays on their website, I do not care for.

thekremlin · 10-05-2011, 02:38 AM

I think I'm at huge risk of having ED. It's never happened to me, and whenever it happens on TV, the guy says "This has never happened to me before." I fit the profile.

Ironic Mustache · 10-05-2011, 03:11 PM

There's no chance of me having it then.

Mr. Blonde · 10-16-2011, 12:23 AM

I love Nicki Minaj. Not so much her music, but her, yes.

SittinOnDubsWGW · 10-16-2011, 12:42 AM

Agreed.
As a whole, black chicks are my least favorite, but she'd get it.

Mr. Blonde · 10-16-2011, 12:56 AM

That's because her expressions/face/voice (sometimes) are white as fuck. While she's got DAT ASS like a true black lady.

Wow.

Anyway, SCotD: I was driving home from school today when I noticed a guy in an adjacent lane digging deep, DEEP, in his nose. As I went to make the obligatory index finger point/visual LOL--which universally is understood as, "caught you!"--I realized that I was subconsciously, also picking my nose. The real SCotD: This is the second time this has happened to me.

Ugly Bastard · 12-13-2011, 03:17 PM

IM can you please change your avatar? I read that post 3 times in disbelief that Gaz would post something so shitty and racked my brain trying to figure out where/why he is in school.
