10 YEARS LATER Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 122. That's all? That's like a cold snap there. I have pictures outside my office with the thermo showing 141! Puuulllleeeease. That's right ! My first summer in Kuwait - '04 got up to 159 at the Ammo Depot and stayed in the 150s for over a week. That whole summer was like living in a Blast Furnace with Sandstorm blowing up our arses to boot. Weeks on end of 135 + temps spiking with 140s all the time. OOOO, it's too hot to push a pencil & drive a desk. Try defusing 2.5 inch High Explosive Rockets delivered on busted up crates full of Iraqi sand that aren't properly shunted. One misstep and you're a BLOT on the Landscape ! ! ! People trying to kill you all the time, wanting to blow you up. What a bunch of sissy mary, candy a$$, sniveling babies . . . god almighty these people really are the Crowning Turd in the Waterpipe ! YEAH, I feel good ! . . . got that off my chest !
