Blog Guy, somebody told me about a very unusual military orchestra the Russians have, but I don’t believe them. Do you know what I’m talking about?
Yes, probably the Bashful Brass, a group made up entirely of undercover secret agents, so they can’t let their faces be seen when they perform.
But that’s amazing! How do they keep their identities secret?
As you can see, they shuffle around, use their saucer caps, look down a lot and basically act very shy.
Really? Do you know anything else about them?
Well, as a journalist I interviewed their conductor. I said, “Maestro, I think you’ve got the best undercover secret agent group in the world.”
I get it, soften him up with flattery. What did the maestro say to that?
“Well, I hate to blow my own horn….”

“Tone deaf? Join the Oddly Enough blog network!”
So top secret that if you heard the music, they would have to kill you!
They’re not shy, they’re hiding from the pesky paparazzi, with their flashing cameras – “No pictures! You’re blinding us!”
They’re smiling. Is that allowed?
What happened Unca? Hard landing with the jetpack? Yeah.. those microbursts can ruin a day.
I kinda like that smile on the guy on the far right… its a nice smile…
@Knit: its drill-smile
They’re just very young kids who’ve been flirted at by the French contingent, which is an all-female unit
If it was your fave recliner, why were you gonna trash it?
Why would you use your fav recliner for knife practice? What are walls or target boards for???
Depends what your walls are made of. Dart boards are RUBBISH for throwing knifes though.
Stab, stab stabity stab.
Speaking of which, you should really take it down from above the bed, CG.
There’s always time for a little stabby stabby, unca.
E, you think these two should get a room?
When you say ‘room’ do you mean more a padded cell?
Sheesh ! You haven’t even moved in yet and already I need to relocate the shooting/knife/archery gallery ?
I don’t like this one bit. We’ve got OE commenters moving in together, and other commenters meeting in Dublin… I don’t think the universe can handle this.
I’ll settle for you not using ‘the gallery’ whilst I’m in bed.
You should have more faith in the universe Mr B.
He doesnt E…. he is just plain jealousssssssss!
Wow, I totally missed this one!!
Shra, I think everyone is jealous that we’re meeting up. Jealous…or scared!
E.
He he he…. Await our pictures!!!!
I’m jealous.
Though I may well be in Shra’s direction later in the year.
I’ve been in Shra-town a couple of times this year already. Unfortunately I’ve been travelling with 20+ lads on both occasions and I don’t think they accept plus-one’s at funerals.
CG/Nurse, oh come up here you girls!!!!! Am sure E would join us too with her famouse chocolate mousse !!
BG, watcha make of this now? Your across-the-pond commentators are meeting up/making plans! You got anything to say????
