Blog Guy, I need some of your famous career advice. I’m a dancer looking for work. Whenever I say I’m a dancer, people think I mean stripper.
Yeah, that’s a common problem. I notice the same thing when I tell people I’m a blogger. What can I do for you?
Like I said, I’m looking for work. You know anybody who’s hiring dancers right now?
Um, well, strangely enough, yes. It looks like they’re doing a revival of the classic, “A Chorus Line.”
Awesome! Broadway? Off-Broadway?
Way, Way, Extremely Off-Broadway. In Siberia.
I don’t know about that. I don’t think I can get there on my subway line.
It’s up to you. As you can see, try-outs are underway right now.
And you’re sure I don’t have to strip?
Uh-oh. Actually, looking at the rest of our photos, I can’t promise that.
Well, how bad can it be? Wish me luck, I’m off to Liberia!

Seriously? What’s the world coming to when Russians can’t hang out drunk? We joke about the Russian pilots who fly all of the commercial Mi-17 flights here in Afghanistan – if you don’t smell vodka on their breath, don’t get on the aircraft…
I do hold the U.S. Constitution near and dear to my heart.
Seems really unfair to run the line with the grain of the wood floor. Gotta be hard to distinguish after a few shots of vodka.
I’m not sure those officers are supervising the stripping well enough. I’d be glad to be of service. That guy sitting behind the desk looks like he might need to be checked as well
Uh oh! The guy in the first photo is wearing an orange shirt. Do you suppose this is one of the Death Panel’s new means of infiltration? They have cells full of peopleto check out. Literally:)
Has no one ever told these people that sticking your arms out for balance is what makes you look drunk? Or like a six year old?
See, CG, when you get drunk… you dont really realise watcha doing…
Sure these people know that sticking their arms out while walking that line is gonna get them into those dry-out thingies… but maybe they wanna be there…
I think I am gonna have some meds…. with vaadka!
Those are the worst impression of an airplane ever! The F-86 is swept wing people! Swept. Wing. Come on!
Unca, you silly goose, only the F-14 and B-1 Lancer have ad-just-o-wings! Clearly the top two are not impersonating an F-14 cause they had a need for alcohol, not speed. The bottom dude might just have tried to do a B-1 though cause it looks like he could have dropped a bomb in his pants.
Hence the removal thereof.
And remember, there are two “O”s in Goose, gentleman. The plaque for second place in is the ladies bathroom.
Is no one else wondering what the last test is?
Because I like wine – I walk the line
Spin, I agree.. maybe Mr.Pilot can take a flight to the other side of the pond… you know, like a test flight? Dontcha think?
So then a quick little search reveals that all these wonderful aircraft are ad-just-o-wing:
B-1 Lancer
EF-111A Raven
F-14 Tomcat
F-111 Aardvark
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-27
Panavia Tornado
Panavia Tornado ADV
Sukhoi Su-17
Sukhoi Su-24
Tupolev Tu-22M
Tupolev Tu-160
So then as far as the silly goose goes, the voices in my head tell me mine is cooked. :p
I’m with the drunks, strippers, and dancers all hanging out. That seems to make the world right somehow. So a Communist has to be involved…so what……??
BG, you think I should zap Mr.Pilot and Unca?
Teeheehee… true, Spin..
Now, if only I could get hold of ‘em two…
Neener neener you can’t tase me!
Where am I? Here I am!!
Nope..over here!
Now I am here!
Now here..then here..then here!!
I could very well be over….hey owwww!! Where did this bear trap come from??
And the 1234875th commandment says, thou shall not learn from the OE blog and if you do, thou shal be zapped…
Just following a rule, you know…
Thats the beauty of it all, Spin.. the zapper cant zap herself, not can anyone else… teeheehee…
Oh btw, there are 1234874 commandments before that…
Thanks, Spin.. I have the lastest technology zapper… it has my mind for its own…
