Jayel- Great memories!! I wish I could remember :*( I remember but not many specific ones. We were watching FOX a lot, and I remember seeing a lot of the embed stuff, but I didn't pay close attention to Rick until late March/early April. Plus, when he was on at 11:00 at night (EDT), it was 8:00 PDT here, and usually my hubby would change the channel, so I missed A LOT of those classic Shep & Rick moments :*( . They *did* look great in the military gear, and yes, I *do* miss the hat! Here are some that I *do* remember:
Late night- ~10:00 PM PDT, they were talking to Rick and after he talked to some soldiers and they gave their messages home, the FOX crew asked Rick if he had someone he wanted to say hi to back home. He was kinda stunned for a moment- kinda taken aback. Then he said something like, "yeah, to my two girls I miss you and will see you soon, and to my other girl, I love you baby and I'll be home soon" or something like that. It was *soooooo* cute. I couldn't help but think AAAWWWWWWW!!!!! How cute!
The dust storms- who could forget those?
When they talked to Rick not long before he went home- it was the last week he was there, I think. They were blowing up some stuff not far from there and he was talking about the shrapnel flying everywhere & ducking for it. Then he & the soldiers were talking about it and I think they were kidding him about ducking. Rick asked one of them what he did & he ducked too- LOL. That was the one where he had this piece of metal and dropped to the ground and it made that CLANG sound. It was just a cute segment.
I remember the credit card payment conversation between Greg & Ray Kelly- that was pretty good. And you're right- only on Fox would we get something as human & amusing as this. I think that's what makes them unique & *the best* news channel out there.
I'm sure more will come to me. I just wish I could have seen more! You really mentioned some great ones.
Teri- I remember some of the MRE ones- but most of them were from when they came back & were talking about them. I never personally tried one, but my ex was in the Army (still have his gray Army t-shirt- LOL!! He had a couple, so I kept it- ironically enough, I have it on now) reserves and mentioned that there were some good ones & some really bad ones. This was also over 10 years ago, so they may have improved with time. C rations sound familiar though.....The coverage of Saddam's statue falling was just amazing and priceless. *VERY* moving. Hope you had fun on your night out! :D
Jan- I think I remember the haircut one....either that or I just remember watching it on the embed videos they have in Fox Fan Central :D. The harrassment was funny- I'll bet those guys liked having Rick & Christian there; there just really seemed to have been a connection that he had with most of them. I agree with Leslie! Send in the poem! :D
Leslie- I'm surprised you haven't gotten a response from Shep about that! Especially with comparing it to the Instant Adoring Boyfriend & needing something more substantial- LMAO!! I'm having Merlot tonight (CALIFORNIA not FRENCH) in honor of you! ;D LOL!!
Melissa- I don't remember "Kent" the pigeon. I remember Ollie was talking about how they had chickens- LOL- one was named "Kung Pao" - how awful, huh! I missed that moment where Rick took the camera from Christian.....I wish I'd seen that one! Of the ones I saw, they were memorable (even if I can't remember too many of them now, lol!)- maybe you're right- there are just too many to name! I just wish FOX would put out videos of the embedded reporting (other than where you have to know the specific date, time, etc). OK gals, another thing to email FOX about! :D Hey, now there's an idea- send the poem in anonymously & then they may say something (kind of like reverse psychology?).....
