DO
CHICKENS HAVE LIPS? Chow time in from the perimeter and
kicked back in the tent. Hot chow had been served to us at camp Carroll.
Some sort of steamy substance with more lumps of food particles and a
form of liquid to wash it down with. Hell as far as I was concerned it

I didn't have to be in a hole tonight, I had that bad ass metal tray of
whatever and I was gonna eat every friggin morsel if it killed me. Evening was approaching, even the
temperature was below ninety degrees. All was quiet on the western
front. I was talking with my friend Pine about this and that, thinking
how great it was gonna be just to relax after spending the last three

our narrow behinds to the outside and slinked into a ditch. Debris was
still falling out of the sky and Pine and me looked at each other with

Please be prepared to be scared shitless. This will be a major event so please dress accordingly. Ditches will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Thank you, The Bomb Squad. Hell I'd rather have had somebody
jump out at me and yell “SURPRISE” just before the big event, at
least my heart would have been pumping and ready for action. I cant say for sure that nobody was
hurt or killed, it was hush hush after the initial Sometimes God just out does hisself
with miracles... |
