Casey's Cable from Cambodia

If the tunes from the Dead Babbys have rung a little more hollow since Labor Day, it's because bassist Casey Brumels (Michigan State Univ ’98, MTV ’04, Nanny 911 ’05, Discovery Channel ‘current) has been on his own Amazing Race. In every corner of the globe, Casey's been directing an awesome new show for Discovery Channel called “1000 Places to See Before You Die”. He recently filed this dangerous dispatch:

Hello my brothas...

I had a day off a few days back and hopped in a tuk tuk and told him to take me to fun. In Cambodian, I guess “fun” takes place in an old army depot…For a mere 15 bucks, they assembled a hand grenade for me to throw into the pond out back. They hand you a grenade, tell you to pull the pin and throw it.

Hello my brothas,

I had a day off a few days back and hopped in a tuk-tuk and told him to “take me to fun”. In Cambodian, I guess “fun” takes place in an old army depot about and hour outside of town because that is where he took me. We paid the "guard" at the gate a whopping $1.00 to let us in and we were off and rolling.

This old army depot has a cache of Vietnam era weapons just sitting there, with no one to shoot them and nothing to shoot at. So for a few bucks, they let me shoot them. I started off with an ak-47. When in Cambodia right? I squeezed off a few rounds before the helper guy stopped me and asked if I wanted to really have fun? Again because of language barriers it was hard to understand but he offered me a chicken for $10. )in an Asian accent) "moving target more fun" I agreed a moving target would be more fun but the thought of offing a chicken with an ak was a little weird to me so I said “no”. (Again in an Asian accent) ‘Ok, you want cow then?’ For 300, I could have offed a cow. Again, I declined.

I now know what charlie felt like shooting at us with an AK, and now I wanted to see what the US troops felt like so I had them pull the M-60 off the wall and let the bitch sing. Fully auto, I was working that target like [REDACTED] works a [REDACTED part of the human anatomy]. Good times, good times.

I squeezed off a couple rounds of some 9mm Russian handgun. I held it side ways and called the target a dirty bitch as I was shooting it. IT was cool.
