Detainees in Iraq asking for a good waterboarding

BAGHDAD - It seems that the Brett Favre-Green Bay Packers saga is such a worldwide phenomenon that it's being used by detainees in American military camps.

According to a military official, detainees at a Wisconsin National Guard camp in Iraq are using Brett Favre as a manner of getting at the guard troops there.

"They know Favre by name," said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from NewRichmond, Wis.

"One of the big words they know now is shenanigan. They'll constantly talk about 'Favre shenanigans,' 'He's so good for the Vikings,' and 'The Packers have got to really feel bad about that one.' "

According to Boehnen, it started when troops there started decorating their camp in Packers colors.....

Once the decoration job happened, detainees became curious.

"They obviously then started up the conversations, and started talking about Brett Favre. They soon learned about Favre going to the Vikings, and things just started going downhill from there."

Boehnen said soccer is the main sport that detainees pay attention to there, so there's not exactly a Vikings fan club chapter in Iraq.

"They'll hear guards talking about it, and then they pick up a lot of stuff from that, too," said Boehnen. "They're very crafty. They learn different stuff from different ways."

7 Wish I could read the article but it goes to a Facebook page. I think that's where my kid is. They are nine hours ahead of us here in Wisconsin, and when either Green Bay or the Vikings play, they grill out ( don't ask me how - maybe over a burning humvee - don't ask me what - maybe camel spiders) at midnight (if it's the 3PM game) and drink Near-Beer and talk smack about Favre. The prisoners? They just remind them of Bears fans.

Okay I see it now.

"The group is part of the 32nd Brigade, with more than 3,200 troops performing a number of missions in Iraq."

Yup. That be them.

9 - Heather - LOL!

Uff da - I have to send that along to the 32nd!

"Some of the most dramatic skirmishes were centered around Kenosha, where a mob of masked snowmobilers invaded the Texas Roadhouse on I-94, briefly holding the margarita machine hostage. They were later seen storming the beverage department at Woodman's, where they purchased several cases of Point and a pack of Merit menthols, and later at the Brat Stop classic rock/sausage outlet, where they were reported angrily "boogie-ing out" on air guitar to featured entertainment Molly Hatchett.

But by far the fiercest demonstration took place in Green Bay's Lambeau Shrine parking lot where throngs of Packer faithful burned Texas flags and effigies of Roger Staubach as Lutheran pastors led them in chants of "Those who defame the Vince suck" and "Favre is Great." Many of the frenzied demonstrators were seen ritualistically beating themselves with mozzarella sticks."

HAHAHA - I live within spittin' distance of the Brat Stop, and my kid is the Lutheran chaplain. HAHAHA!

Thank you for this! You just made my day. I'll see that this gets passed up the chain of command.

Being waterboarded was more "interesting" than watching the Packers play these days.

I mean 4 guys holding one guy down while #5 pummeled his gut and #6 poured ice cold water down his throat and nose. I mean how much fun is that?

Not Much
