Language School

DLI East?

Published on August 16, 2004 By pseudosoldier In Humor

This was sent to me quite awhile ago, and I've just now uploaded it.

Pretty accurate, though. (They didn't mention the key is to meet girls while you're in training.)
Edit: Sorry it's so small... hmm. I'll work on that. Until then, the transcript:

1: So, what've you been learning in spook school lately, dude?
2: Arabic.
1: Arabic? What for?
2: So I can tell what the word on the street is.
1: The street? What street?
2: The Arab street -- the pulse of popular sentiment in the Islamic world!
2: Getting a good read on the street could prevent another 9/11. As a source of cluefullness, the street is as good as it gets!
1: Wow...
1: How about as a place to meet girls?
2: Pretty much the worst place on earth.

I like to think #2 looks like Sangus.

Edit: Until I find somewhere that doesn't suck to upload pictures, you can check out the actual strip in the comments section. Thanks, chip.

The cartoon is pretty damn funny.

How about as a place to meet girls?

This seems to be a primary motivation for some of my students (to include the one that's already married to a korean woman).

The pic seems to be loading... for now. I just posted to the picture tutorial thread, though, about using yahoo photos. I tried that when I first tried adding images (it is the service pictured in the original pic tutorial article) but yahoo changes it's links to your photos regularly, so load today, gone tomorrow. I started my own (crappy) web page on geocities. It takes only a few minutes to build a home page and a photo page and you get 15 mb of space with the free account. The links to pics are permanet, though, and that's the bonus of using geocities.

Just throwing a couple pennies at you... hope it helps.

I have had my own experience with Yahoo switching picture links, but not from Yahoo Photos. I tried to link from Yahoo News: Link
They were rotating pictures, but now they just seem to be gone...

While at DLI (West), I witnessed a soldier telling a PSG about how his wife would be unhappy if he were sent to Korea. The PSG quipped, "That's what going to Korea's for, getting a new wife."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That's very funny, but also, it's often true.

Hehe, I'm not looking for girls on the street anymore

here is Maina, I posted her on my journal but it was a friends only livejournal entry so only Jaime got to see her. Ultimately I credit my experience at DLI for giving me the appropriate skills needed to handle this one

I'm heading to BRAZIL!!! I'll catch you guys when I get back!

As chiprj mentioned above, Yahoo may have swapped the picture's place online for me. Remember my G8eorgia article?

I'll see what I can do about securing another place to upload for free...

Sounds like you could use some viagra, old man...

Actually, yahoo can be a bitch about picture hosting.

Here you go. I uploaded it to my geocities account. Hope you don't mind, pseudosoldier. I'll delete the comment (or you can) if i'm stepping on toes here.
