It is my pleasure to introduce to you the ZLOG Class of 2006. We come from different backgrounds. We have different tastes in living room decorations, television stations, vocations, libations, culinary creations, monster magnifications, and Iraqi liberations. One thing is certain though, none of us know what Logistics means. We can all be seen here in our new uniforms...

Anand "Black Curry" Mehta is from Kenya/India. Not even he knows what his nationality is. He requires a soft mattress and does not eat meat. His favorite restaurant is the Indian place down the street that serves nan and tea. He is one of the Five Fernandos (that's our street).

Annie "Who the Wu are You" Wu is from Taiwan. She is one of the smartest Zloggers, as determined by her studious demeanor and nine years of work experience in some difficult field. She can break rocks with her mind.

Carlos "Spaniard" Torres is a Spaniard from Zaragoza. He is one kool kat and a valuable asset to any Zlogger hoping to communicate hishers deep Zlog thoughts to the locals. Being from Zaragoza, he knows the best bars to find beautiful Spanish women at, which in fact is most of them.

Francesca "Pronto" Paparo is from Milan, Italy. She has studied in the Netherlands for the past year getting her masters in strategic management, or "bullshit" as she called it. She always answers the phone with "pronto" in her best Italian/Dutch/English accent.

Jermaine "Blackhole" Baldwin flew in from South Chicago on a whim. He has studied at Cornell and Harvard and was granted an undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Chicago. Despite these accolades, his Blinglish makes even simple sentences a nightmare for foreign students. He has never been full -- much like Coopsterdog -- and is a member of the Five Fernandos.

Joseph "Short Stack" Butler is a former Exxon Mobil manager. He and his family are from Houston, Texas. He loves fresh bread and giving his children ten cents when they walk without whining. It's called the WWW prize, and Thomas has already purchased a futbol with his earnings. If he needs a babysitter, I suggest John Amato, as he comes highly self-recommended.

Longhai "Rice is my Thang" Wang is from Shanghai, China. He walks at twice the speed of everyone except Jermaine, who eats Italian Ice Cream for fuel. His favorite dish is rice with egg and tomato and he is an exceptional cook. He brings agility, tranquility, and Chinese music to the Five Fernandos -- all much needed assets.

Marat "Kiss Off" Khismetov hails from Moscow, Russia. His expertise is in plant management and operations, which makes him a great homework partner. His icy Russian exterior was diffucult to melt at first, but everyday he warms up more to the Zlog crew. Much of his power comes from his red bandana and short-brimmed hat.

Marija "Multi-lingual" Milenkovic is from Serbia and Montenegro. She speaks five languages and has studied around Europe and Japan. When she's not Salsa dancing, you can find her cooking the latest delicious dish from Serbia Home and Garden Magazine. She can party until 7am like a true Spaniard.

Marvin "Nicaraguan Rocket" Matus is from Washington D.C./Nicaragua. He wants to work in South America after this program to help the South American peoples develop. He will likely be the best futbol player at the Zlog, as Carlos has already admitted to stinking. The rocket barely survived an assassination attempt by a random Spaniard during the rafting trip, but now he's stronger than ever.

Micah "No Law School" North-Shea is from Colorado/Illinois. He pieced out of law school after his first year at the University of Illinois for a trip to Spain. He is the first of the Five Fernandos to be bedridden with sickness, which he contracted in the mountains from some weird mountain food. He has the speed rating of 90, which boosts the Fernandos team speed significantly.

I am Nathan "Mr. Muppet" Weaver and I hail from Perrysburg, Ohio. I am by far the most muppetlike of all the Zloggers in both personality and physical stature. I have no meaningful work experience, but I do have a Logistics fire in my stomach, which my mom calls heartburn. I think it's more than that though -- I think that I have the tools to become something great, even if it is a rafting guide.

Panos "Greek Mystique" Tsilingiris is from Athens Greece. He listens to electronic music like the kind you hear blasting from Mitsubishis in the states. He has a question for every answer to every question he asks you. As a Greek, he is interested in philosophy and the search for truth through knowledge, which is a welcome surprise when compared to many peoples' bad attitudes.

Silas "Clean Cut" Clements comes to us from Arkansas. He left his home state not because he didn't like it, but because he had the itch to see new things. Zaragoza is a long way from Arkansas: mission accomplished Silas. If you can help it, don't get an itch to see new things, because as Silas is demonstrating, it's an itch you can never fully scratch.

What a multinational crew of suspects if Zaragoza suffers subliminal hooliganism. Do the helmets protect your craniums or are they the latest high tech mind-wave projectors/transformers? Do you really plan to take over the world or just its supply of chains? Are you talking gold chains, tire chains, chain smokers or chain-link fences? Inquiring minds want to know...ypjiahy
Nice to know you all Zloggers :)
