The Bear is Loose

Clothes Whores

"Clothes Whores" got an unofficial Honorable Mention at the Almost Famous Film Festival; Unofficial because they offered it to us -- another Tucson HM team bowed out of the showing because the Phoenix show time was 5pm. Well, DUH, we couldn't make that either on a Thursday night.

Instead, I premiered it at the local First Friday Shorts, where by applause ranking we came in Second behind a college homosex flick supported by the director's whole fraternity.  I didn't mind too much missing out on the Money prize... I enjoyed the audience's reaction and heard a good portion of the audience cheering for our film. 

The bedroom shown is actually my office/guest room (you can see my name on some of the plaques).  Rather than girlie it up or sanitize it, I thought it would be funnier if left as is, sword collection and all.

I was Bored Today

Technically, not a Red Shirt....

Photo Fun

Lisa the Biker Chick seems to enjoy her early Christmas present (Redskirts are marginally more survivable than Redshirts).

O-I-H-O - The Real Story

No, Obama and his chums aren't misspelling "Ohio," they're just enjoying one of the President's "war stories."

BHO:  There I was, in the Sugar Bowl in my last game in a Buckeye uniform.  I saw a shift in their defense, so I audibled a quick slant to the running back.  Touchdown!

Guys 2 and 4:  No, we know you throw like a girl... run like one too!  You were scrambling in your own end zone and the entire press corps held the defense -- SAFETY!

Guy 1:  I wanna be a ballerina!  Look, I'm en pointe!

My Favorite

None Shall Pass

Yes, Grijalva is a Hyena

Looks like the Tucson Sentinel is in the bag for Raul (D-Boycott AZ) Grijalva. They drew him perfectly... except hyenas don't always hunt for themselves, often snacking on leftovers from their betters... even their poop.   

Unlike.

I wonder if Tom did a face-palm on news of his super-model wife's dissing of Patriots receivers?

I'm ALMOST a YouTube Gun Expert like this guy! Just follow his advice... unless you have a V461N4. Or common sense. :-)

I'm Getting Drunk on Toasts Tonight

The Evil Commie Bastard Kim Jong-il is DEAD! Finally.

Before I graduated from US Air Force Basic Training with a guaranteed job of Voice Processing Specialist (the precursor to the current job title, "Cryptologic Linguist"), I slaked my disappointment with news that the 1979 assassination of the South Korean president would compensate for my not getting a slot in the Russian Language School; times suddenly got interesting, as the Chinese proverb goes.

Once I got to the Presidio of Monterey's Defense Language Institute, I was given the opportunity to re-apply for any of the languages offered to me during the pressure-cooker of Basic Training.

After having psyched myself up with the prospect of an unstable Korea, I gave up my designs on becoming a Russian linguist for the needs of the USAF and my country. I moved Korean up on my list... and got it. How's that for dancing with History? My Dorm Chief (and now Dear Friend) lucked out by getting German, and ended up getting cross-trained to analyst duties when the Wall fell. Funny how we both ended up teaching in Tech School together

Not me.. When all of the moves out of Tech School were frozen for us Tech School instructors, we Koreans were the exception (good thing I didn't buy a house on our Commander's recomendation!). It was great to be back in the field with the students I'd trained in Tech School
The rut/pipeline back to Korea was deep and heavily used, so it was nice to just do the job again, with the added bonus of doing it with people familiar.

I salute all my Skivvy Nine comrades and the Crypto-Service Folks who helped us make it the Land of the Morning Calm for a few decades.

For a few years, I even maintained a blog lampooning the lifestyle of the Beloved Leader. Whew, out of the closet now....

Who'd'athunk it?

Occupy

I'll bet there's a town without an "Occupy" movement.

They're probably staying away in droves....

Stake Night

And now for something completely different

for those of you who don't like good, clean, Gun Fun, I give you "Shark Pool." Be very afraid.
