You have a chance to send your worst enemy on a week-long vacation. Where will s/he be going?

I have no enemies.

I'm in high school, hence, I'd like more than one ticket please.

Let's see, where to go, where to go... the center of the earth? I googled "worst place on Earth" and I found this article: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/article-preview?ar...

So I'm going with that one. Hopefully she'll get the worst of it.

*shrugs* Ok, I will play along, assuming this "worst enemy" was because of some heinous thing he did to me or my family my vote goes to:

Antarctica:

It is the coldest, windiest and highest elevated continent anywhere on earth. With an average elevation about 7,544ft/2,300 meters above sea level it is the highest continent. Even though it is covered in ice it receives nearly the least amount of rainfall, getting just slightly more than the Sahara Desert, making it the largest desert on earth. Most people have the misconception that a desert is a hot, dry, sandy, lifeless place, but the true definition of a desert is any geographical location that receives almost no rainfall.

I guess I'd send my worst enemy to Death Valley, California during the summer. Or Iraq. Maybe North Korea, but then that trip would last more than a week... or not.

He will take his vacation all the way to the North Pole and we will let George Bush suffer and remember what he did to all of us

My ex- girlfriend, how about middle of Iraq War in Baghdad July 2004 in the Salam district of Baghdad without a weapon, good luck to you hope you like rocket launchers, better get used to them shooting them at you, "incoming...... wheeew............. BOOM" if she survives that put her in Pellican Bay State Prison (California) put her in death row chamber naked with all the convicted murderers with no hope but death penalty, if she survives that, hell i have to think about what next

Prison

Middle of the Sahara desert?

Naked?

Gaza

Somewhere that will chill him/her out and make him/her not my enemy anymore. Not that I have a worst enemy. I don't think I have any enemies at all.

Wow, you people are mean.

The Sun.

Chicago

To the airport. The bags will be missing. The flights will be delayed. The weather will be horrible. The place will be crowded. There won't be anyone around who can solve any problems. Babies will be crying, lots of babies. The delayed flights will be cancelled. You know, your typical vacation.

Arisia

Basic Training - 5th week

Hmmm, let's see...I will send my ex renter ex friend to a camping trip for a few weeks in some secluded wooded area. Just for good measure I'll throw in horse back riding.

Yeah, I was thinking a vacation sopt, somewhere you or someone else might like but your worst enemy would think was hell.

Somewhere very hot, like the tropic rainforest in Fiji or something, where everything is hot and moist and parasitic.

Hey, I'm looking forward to Arisia (despite the undersized venue)! Where else would you find a Fairly Oddparents singalong? (gotta get out my Chip Skylark song book)

Are you sending them to Arisia the sci-fi convention, or Arisia the planet.

federal penitentery

I would want them to enjoy themselves, though.

Somalia.

Human Nature

Did you vomit during the gas chamber drill (where they send you into the chamber without mask) in basic?

The gas drill, the first 12-mile road march, and the pugul stick competition...all in the same week. The 5th week is also the week most recruits try and quit.

No, I followed the DIs instructions to the letter. I snot a lot, but nothing like some dopes got when they panicked.

i thought the first week was the worst, as soon as i got off the bus the D.I. was in my face, yelling following me around, told me your not even good enough to be a private yet and i already know your face

I made the mistake by saying "sir yes sir" that set him off, learned later on you don't call drill sgt. sir yes sir

To me the first week was a joke: I hated the physical puzzles. There was always some fat-body the rest of the team had to compensate for.

Oh right, we had different basics, you were enlisted.

yeah the fat guy that's being yelled at by the DI for being 30 feet behind the rest of the platoon while jogging in 28 degree temps at 7am in freezing FT. Sill Oklahoma

What you mean different basics?

We didn't run in formation that much. Officers basic is more oriented to getting the job done yourself, while enlisted basic focuses on teamwork. But boy oh boy, it must have been worse to deal with the fat-bodies in enlisted basic.

I went to Officers Candidate School. It's quite different Basic Soldier Skills Training Course.

so you wen't to the officers academy? i see, i thought you were referring to basic, the 6 weeks of hell after MEPS

how long you attend OCS?

No, I didn't go through ROTC. I went to a recruiter, just like you. I joined a year after I graduated.

6 Weeks?1 You got off easy. OCS was 12 weeks, MOS school was another 12 weeks, plus customs and courtesies were 3 weeks.

I enjoyed m time there, the PX had a lot of great things to buy cheap, even though i hated my DI at the time, after a while, we were cool, became real close, he was totally different to me after basic and MOS, he was the nicest guy, used to drink with him, he would tell me stories about Vietnam, even though i'm not in it anymore i still keep in touch with him by letters, even though i hated Fort Sill Oklahoma it was enjoyable living on base for the time

I liked Army life a lot. I especially liked getting deployed; that's when all the stupid rules went away. But, dploying took its toll on my family life.

Your Basic was the same place as AIT? How did that happen? What was your MOS?

Military Police Corps: Skill Level 1 MOSC 31B10, preforms as team member in support of battlefield operations, installation law and order operations and security of Army resources and installations, MP at Fort Sill

You are one of the very lucky few who didn't have to move after Basic.

what was your MOS?

Civil Affairs, the nomenclature is different though.

Cool, what do you do for a living now?

I'm a claims investigator for the US Department of Labor, Office of Workers Compensation Programs

so a G man like me? ever thought about law enforcement career?

'm a claims investigator for the US Department of Labor, Office of Workers Compensation Programs........... You must have loads of funny stories about people trying to claim fraudulently??

I dabbled in that for a while actually. After I got out of the Army I worked for a special anti-terrorsim commission under Homeland Security. We were tasked with assessing the threat of agri-terrorism from South America (exporting mad cow, soybean rust, etc). The brains of the outfit was obviously the Department of Agriculture, but each security agency was represented. I was the Secret Service liaison, and I had to go through FLETC to get the job. I never became an agent though; I was a policy analyst. Anyway, I worked directly on the NAIS program, the program to attach radio ID tags to all livestock in the US.

However, the analysis I presented to Congress was disliked. Essentially, I said the threat was minnimal and we were wasting our money by continuing. That made a few people mad.

Anyway, I reactivated my officer's commission to go to Iraq. When I came back the task force had been deactivated, and basically, I had no job. However, I was guaranteed a job when I returned because I volunteered for a year's worth of combat duty. OPM made me an offer as a claims investigator in NYC, my hometown, so I hopped on it. But I quickly got promoted and couldn't go further. So, I decided to move back to DC for the promotion potential, and now I am a supervisor.

I like this job a lot more; it's a lot less stressful, and I feel better about what I do

Not so funny when you remember these people are stealing from the American people. But yeah, people sure do some crap.

Oh wow youre from NYC? That place scares me, i drove truck 48 states, wen't to Hunt's Point in Bronx, had a black guy that ran up to my truck when i was stopped at a light, he climbed up on the cab and said get the fudge out of the truck, i said hold on a second, let me take my seatbelt off, grabbed the 357 i had on the floorboard, stuck it out the window and said "come on mutherfudgeer you want my truck, take it" he jumped off and ran away, there was a cop driving by flagged him down, i reported it to him, he said you must be from California i can tell my your accent, word of advice you can't have a loaded firearm in a commercial truck, but around here i'd say keep it next to you

Iraq? Maybe Furnace Creek, California in mid-summer

I love NY, but Hun't Point is pretty bad. That's where all the scumbags went to after Julianni cleaned up Tmies Square.

yeah it was some piece of crap fish stick wharehouse, had to go from Seattle to Hunts Point, then back to Seattle, i had to park a 53 foot trailer in the middle of a 2 lane one way road facing the opposite direction, had to jackknife into a alley that didn't have enough clearance wide for the trailer, i told the shipping guy, the alley is 9 feet wide, my truck is 9.5 feet wide, how the hell i pull a Houdinni? he said welcome to New York buddy, i said you unload it here or i drop the trailer and go home, have your gosh darn fish sticks,let em rot for all i care, i spent more money for tolls than i'm making for this load crossing the George Washington Bridge, so he let me unload in the middle of the road

There's no fudging like a NY fudging; you're lucky to have gotten out alive.

I hated it but Jersey is worse, fudging dump always smells like burning tires

Jersey's the armpit of the world.

Or the butt-hole of the world, don't know what's worse, Long Beach California, where i grew up, which is Jersey of the west coast or Hunts Point, both crapholes full of trains,ships,trash dumps,crackheads, black gangbangers,toll bridges,etc

Hunt's Point has hookers, too. You can get blown for 10 bucks.

and lose my "herman" my name for "male reproductive organ" who knows what they have

I know, I know....... just funny in the sense of "Can you believe this, crap????????????????"

Someplace fabulous so that I can get 'em when they least expect it.
They'll come back thinkin' all is cool..And then Wham! Gotcha. Punk.

Sure. But being nice is human nature, too.

we all have a nice side and mean side like dr.jekyll and mr.hide

In some of us, apparently, one is more pronounced than the other.

Arisia is fun (I was just being silly), though I wish they didn't have to change the hotel.

con (I haven't read the Lensmen series yet).

I, too, miss the old hotel *sigh*.

A hippie commune

Anywhere away from me.

South central L.A. wearing only a t-shirt which says "I hate n**gers". Bon voyage!
