User blog:Rdwmdk27/Grr. Priorites, or how I nearly participated in sparking an International Incident

Okay, so it's crunch time. My brother's coming into town, and I've got a few precious hours to hit that 1200 mark for this event.

I've made a fool's mistake and traded away some of my better cards for a card that I thought would be much better. Most of my backline is gone, I thought it would be worth it to have a stronger front line, and so I've got to scramble to compensate for it somehow.

On the up side, I have this pretty decent card with artwork that's growing on me (at first I thought it was a bit wonky).

Remember from my first blog post that I had some stories to tell? Well, I feel now is a decent time to share one with you all.

I was in Cambodia, had visited Angkor Wat and had a couple more hours to kill until my trip back to Bangkok. My friend and I decide that we want to go to a firing range, and so we call up our guide, a local, and we eat some food while we wait on him. We end up going to a shooting range out in the middle of nowhere and have our fun with shooting this and that. The range operator asks us if we want to shoot RPGs. He tells us $200 will let us shoot one, $300 if we want to shoot one at a cow...

No, but thanks. I didn't have that kind of cash, and I certainly didn't want to turn a cow into buckets of meat. He counter-offers, and said that he can have our guide take us all for a drive for a couple hours, and we can shoot RPGs all day for free.

I talk with my buddy, and we decide to not re-book our flights, as that would cost us a bit more and we'd have to sacrifice some of our plans to partake in RPG launching shennanigans.

We decline the offer, fire a couple more guns, and head back to our hotel to get ready for the flight out of Cambodia. We say our goodbyes, go up to our rooms. I turn on the TV in the room, and put it on the news, and hop in the shower. When I got out and started packing up my things, I read CNN's ticker on the bottom that states "Thailand / Cambodia exchange small arms fire across border."

Holy effing s-balls, Batman!
