4th of July Celebrations and Adventures

"Special" Food

My friend Boris has been helping me out at AGCHO while my Canadian is home on R&R.  He has been a great help with the students and getting things done.  However, he isn't the biggest fan of our $7 a month lunches.  So since it was a holiday I decided to send my boys out to get lunch for everyone.  Since there were twelve of us I told the guys to get 11 kabobs, a thing of rice for me, chips, drinks, and whatever else they wanted.  So when the got back and we all start to eat I notice that some of the kabobs seem to be made of a lighter meat then the others.  I ask them about it and I am told it is a another kind of kabob, a "special" kabob.  When I ask them what kind of special kabob they didn't want to tell me.  It was Dave who said, "you have heard of Rocky Mountain Oysters right?"  It was then I understood why they didn't want to tell me.  But they did say that since it was a special day they thought special food was in order.


Accidents Happen


So it being a holiday and all I decided that I was going to dress up and look something like a female for a few hours. So I put on this long dress that I had brought along, and since it was a summer dress I had to wear a shrug so I was "Decent".  I was walking down the street with Boris and this local Afghan was riding by on his bicycle. Like always they tend to stare at me, so being the brilliant man that he was, he was riding his bike and staring at the woman on the side of the road. He then proceeded to do that little eyebrow thing that guys tend to do that says "hey, your looking good, wanna go get busy". I was pretty much disgusted by this, so I looked directly at him and gave him a dirty look. He proceeded to run his bicycle into a cement block. I did a side fist pump and exclaimed "yes" while Boris and I laughed the rest of the way down the street. Seriously, I know that I am an accident waiting to happen, but it is even more fun to be the cause of an accident!
 
 
International Relations
 
I am at a 4th of July BBQ, after standing in line for half an hour to get food my only options are lettuce, meat, meat, meat, and meat. Finally I settle on some meat with lettuce. My friend Boris and I snag the end of a picnic table with a tag along. We were waiting for my stalker and his friend to join us, so we were trying to find a table big enough for all of us. When we first sat down there were a couple of Brits on the other end of the table. But about halfway through they got up, so we decided to move down and take up the rest of the table to make sure we had enough room.
 
Less then a minute goes by and another Brit comes over and asks if he can join, Feeling bad that we had the whole table we said sure. Well it turned out it wasn't just 2 or 3 Brits, but like 12. I had gotten up to use the bathroom and came back to find our table had been commendeered by the British Royal Navy. However, there were still a few chairs we had pulled up left, so I said, ok you all can have our table, but I get the chairs (we were going to move them to a smaller table). One of the Brits response was, thats ok, you took our country. I just laughed and asked them if they had had any Tea Parties that day?  I returned a minute later with a festive Patriotic Decoration to put on their table and proceeded to give them instructions to "Celebrate America's Independence" They were afterall at our 4th of July BBQ!
