#1 Yeah, I miss the Good Old Days, too. Blowing shit up. Shooting up Gov't Offices, Schools... hell, anything will do cuz we have no responsibilities - they're The Gov't...

I used to be regularly badgered by the Sri Lankans (there were a LOT of them) when I went into Aramco on Thursdays (their Saturday). They all had their favorite SL news site URL carefully written down - and when they found some Westerner at his 'puter, they'd shove this bit of paper at you in hopes you'd open it up and print out the news and sports sections for them. I had to install the Sinhala & Tamil language / fonts to enable the machine. It got to be such a regular thing, that I would print off multiple copies to save time for when the next guy came around - drawn to the clackity-clack of my keyboard. They were the most homesick people I met in Saudi.
