News, but not the serious kind
Couldn’t she just do a floral tribute?

Blog Guy, the World Cup is drawing to a close. So who would you say is the big winner so far?
Oh, without a doubt it’s model Larissa Riquelme, of Paraguay. Without leaving her hometown, she managed to mug her way into 24 pictures on our photo file while her country was still a player.
The truth is, I may even have used a few photos of her big tonsils in my own blog. My memory is hazy on that.
Anyhow, after Paraguay lost, Larissa reacted the way any of us would have. She took off all her clothes and posed buck naked, as “a tribute” to the team. Naturally, we ran five of those photos, complete with mandatory credit for the newspaper that handed them out.
So that makes 29 shots of her on your file, just for screaming and jiggling and getting naked?
By my count, yes.
Are you going to use one of those nude shots in your blog?
Yes, I have to. I can’t ignore “a tribute.” But don’t worry. With my nearly invisible addition of tasteful, professional, peach-colored rectangles to the photo, you won’t even know.

Oh the boys are gonna be sooooooooo disappointed!
Try to conceal your glee, Shra….
With the weather being all dark and gloomy here, BG.. would you deny me this little ray of joy?
At least the rectangles are not white, AND you gave us the website for the full photos. BG FTW! Now if I can just remember enough Spanish to actually find my way to the pictures….
You have some more qualifying pictures for the goofy face museum as well.
Hah. When you get a chance, Shra, look up the word schadenfreude… It’s a good one.
Shra – you should come visit me here. It is NEVER dark and gloomy.
Ahh… yes… schadenfreude…. very nice…
Dave, you need to send me your address.. can you?
The difference between a real model and those anorexic fashion show models is the size of the peach squares.
Ms. Paraguay there… yeah… she’s got some nice size peach squares.
Guys, I’m sure you can see her geronimous zones without bars if you just do an ogle search.
Shra – I really and truly do not have an address. Across from Kandahar Airfield (KAF) entry control point 1 (ECP 1) is about as good as it gets.
Fly to Kandahar (Dubai – Kabul – Kandahar) and give me a call. I’ll pick you up at the airport. Don’t forget your burqa and your sunscreen (and your body armor). Wait, no need for the sunscreen, you’ll be in a burqa….
Burqa.. umm.. cant I make sure I am in jeans and all and wear a head scarf? Not good enough?
I want my burqa to be colourful in that case… no black and blues for me!
@Shra They make tan-through swimsuits, so maybe they make a tan-through burqa?
Schadenfreude, eh? Well, BG, I knew you were’nt in it for the money…
Dave – I did a six-month stint at Bagram Airfield(BAF), back in 2006, so I understand what you say.
The thing I most remember is sometimes when the helicopters would come in late in the afternoon/evening and the heavily ionised air would kick up the iron-laden sand, the helicopter blades would glow in an eerie halo effect. I have never seen anything like the Helo-Halo before or since.
Stay away from the red-painted rocks and don’t walk on the HESCO bags, OK?
Are those bits of tattoo visible at the edge of the squares? I’m sure one of you lot will have checked the photos on the original website and be able to answer this. She does look like a fun weekend though…
Shra, take Dave some cookies! Or if you want to bake them there, he can probably show you a good spot in the sun to bake them in.
Wishing you more quiet days and nights, Dave.
How come you can show pics which are not taken by a Reuters photographer, yet decide not to post chunky hunky pics of the Italian team????
Schadenfreude, wasn’t that a Wayne Newton song? And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar unless it is gum.
Good catch, Shra! Perhaps we need to sharpen the stilettos, eh? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar unless it is socks. LOL! It’s ok, Shra. We can handle it, and Dave and rhe boys can use the eye candy.
That was a rather nice photo of the Italians, though I still like a guy in jeans. Get to use my imagination:)
Hey Dave.. I don’t speak spanish but when I checked out that webpage, saw thumbnails of Larissa Riquelme followed by a bunch of words which were followed by “5 euros” I kinda came to the conclusion they want money to remove the peach squares. Yeah, that dog don’t hunt for me.
I am sure though Mr. B., since he has the top journalistic connections in the world, can do some recon, call in a few favors, and send the pics to us.
Right Mr. B.? Ya know, since we are FB friends and all.
