Operation Help Nina's Brother
Nina's brother is in the army in Afghanistan (10th Mountain Division) and they're currently stationed on a base and bored out of their minds.
They could use some reading material from us here on the home front. He requested Maxim, although I'm sure FHM, Stuff, Gear, Razor or, frankly, any other magazine would do. Or books. Or anything at all, really, although I'm not sure how Knitting Quarterly would go over.
Apparently, they also have gameboys and so if you have any old games you're done with, we'll be happy to forward them as well.
If you have anything that you would like to send to a good cause, please let me know, and I will facilitate getting them sent.
Please forward this to anyone who you think might have spare magazines, games, or anything else CARE package-esque they'd like to send him.
Thanks for your help!
(Think of it as Troop Trax with a face)

It just so happens, I have a few things I could send over there. Get in touch.
I would love to send some things. Let me know how I can help.
I'll burn some mixes and send them. Email me.
Anything from DBD?I don't know if any of them have even heard of the strip, but maybe I could crank out a t-shirt or so for them.
Do they have a playstation or a PS2? I have a ton of demo games for the ps2 that I could send. Like 50 of them. Let me know. People have helped me and if I can send some games, I will. I have books too. Let me know. Thanks.
What I have is mystery novels - would they be interested? Authors like James Patterson, John Case, Harlan Coben, Faye Kellerman, etc. I have a big stack to take to the used book store, all in good (but read) condition, I'd rather ship them to Afghanistan. But when they get off patrol they might not want to read mysteries... Let me know.
Happy to help...send me specifics.
I have lots of stuff i'd love to send...let me know how i can help.
I have magazines I can spare, where do I send them? If you're in NYC or nearby, I can drop them off this week
excellent read, nice site
