So my good friend Phil Dinner is moving to Guam [gmap] here in a week, and we'll sure miss him.
LaVell's wife is in the Air Force, and she got the word that she's shipping out to Guam. Now, I didn't even know we were at war with Guam; but that just shows how little I pay attention to current events I guess. I know she's a brave gal, and I know I like her a ton, and I know she's fighting for my freedom. That's about the limit of my understanding of this whole situation.
So Peach & K., here's hoping that the Guamians see the error of their ways and discuss armistice terms and get back to making that square bottled water. If they don't, then lace your boots tight, get in that foxhole and show 'em that these colors don't run. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
If all goes well we'll be welcoming you back by Christmas with a ticker-tape victory parade down Market Street. I'm planning on getting the attention of a Life photographer and then grabbing a random nurse and kissing her. I can then pay the civil settlement she brings against me out of the publishing royalties for the photograph.
(Which is not at all to say that I don't think that the kiss would be a welcomed one -- I'm a pretty handsome guy; and I'd make sure consent issues were ironed-out to both parties' satisfaction before initiating, in any case -- it's just to indicate that nurses are notoriously litigious.)
Good luck and godspeed to one of the best friends a guy could ever have. I love you like a brother and I hope to see you soon. -t59K
^ your are pretty rude. In one of your first statements, “I didn’t even know we were at war with guam” shows how ignorant you are. You could have simply googled it and found out why your friends were being shipped out to Guam. Guam is a US Territory acquired by the US during the Spanish American War. Guam has been under Colonial rule for hundreds of years. While there aren’t many competitors as far as companies go so you can reduce inflated prices, time will allow for more companies to develop.
Whoa whoa whoa… Looks like we got a Guamese collaborator here.
What I can’t figure out, John, is whether your seditious words come from A.) a hatred of our freedoms and our way of life, or B.) a despicable hatred of our armed services and the good men and women that compose it.
Make no mistake: I am quite certain than when ol’ Uncle Sam decides to put boots on the ground, the reason is to put some boots in some asses. If you think that Peach and Mrs. Peach were sent to Guam to sing kumbiah and win hearts and minds, well, then, I pity you.
You need to learn your history.
Peach and Mrs. Peach: whomp asses and secure our freedoms. To reader “John”: read a goddamn book, you idiot.
Wow. Was that guy, like, a terrorist? Or just a total dipshit tool who knows nothing about Guam?
I dunno. I hope for his sake it was just him being ill-informed. But it’s clear to me that he oughta read up on a topic before he feels like he should start sharing his half-baked conspiracy theories.
Internet has made it to Guam! We are the local telecommunications company and we monitor online comments about Guam. if they are interested, they can check out our kiosk at AAFES for internet, television, cell phone, and landline. We offer some great long distance plans so they can keep in touch with good friends like you!

I didn’t see a single map on that site that would come close to “amazing” (though I did see one that could be described, accurately, as “dogshit”).
But then again, it seems like you work in marketing, Ashley, Am I right? So I guess you get used to using adjectives like “amazing” to mean, roughly, “extant”.
Do you have any competitors on the island, or do y’all run the whole show?
