You're saying it's "leprechaun?"  Because I've always read that as "Le Porkin'."

It's Le Porkin' Leprechaun actually.  Keeping things short makes thing easier.

Happy Birthday!

I basically don't know that guy, or don't remember him. I may have been gone. I hope he is taking care of himself.

I remember him, he seemed to post a lot when all that shit went down with my crap dude and I moved to Alaska.

Happy birthday, dude, if you're reading this.

We haven't heard from him since he was getting his gear in order for a Tour. He needs to get back here. He was entertaining (excellent Mr T/ Wiener Supply avatar) and last posted Dec 2006, so most likely his tour is still going and, worse, may already have been extended as have several of my friends. Try his e-mail to send birthday wishes, though, it's in his profile. If he can get e-mail, I'm sure he'd appreciate being remembered, especially if he's trying to avoid getting shot or worse. I can't remember if he was going to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Well, umm. What can I say, that's really nice, guys. Never thought that people from a messageboard about cartoon cats would send me birthday wishes. I'm touched, literally.

Well, the deal is this: I've been back from Iraq since the beginning of May, but I've been working for the Forest Service as a wildland firefighter in a town with little to no internet access. I actually did mean to start posting again once school started, which is next week incidentally.

My time in Iraq ended up being fairly uneventful, which is good, because nobody in my unit died. I was on the Iraqi-Jordanian border, at a port-of-entry called Trebil. Little teeny base, crappy food(although the cooks did their best), nothing exciting. I was in-country for 7 months, but I trained for 5, so it ended up being a year total.

So, in summary: You guys are pretty cool, and I'll make an effort to hang out here once in a while in the coming months.

Happy birthday.

Dude, welcome back. Also, firefighting is rad, we had mostly boat fires up where I was in AK. Both A-CAP and I happen to be volunteer firefighters. Are you out of the service/military yet?

Yeah I'm still in. I'm in the Marine Corps Reserves, so it's the "one weekend a month, two weeks a year, but basically your ass belongs to us" thing. I really don't mind it too much though, it gives me a reason to stay in shape and is (corniness) a source of personal pride for me.

In times of war this is a good thing.

Glad to hear you're back and safe, and able to enjoy being alive for another year.

Have you ever considered a career with less exploding, shooting, and things catching on fire?

That's why I like making the internet.  No matter how badly I screw up, no one ever dies (well, there was this one time I mis-typed a variable and someone had a heart attack, but accidents do happen).

Welcome back, 'Porkin. Happy Birthday.
