News, but not the serious kind
Hold on Ma, we’re a half-second from Miami!
Blog Guy, I know you’re one of the biggest names in travel writing, and I have a question.
My family loves to travel overseas, but we hate the hassle of getting there. You know, 10-hour flights to Europe, and like 20 hours or more to Asia… Is anybody working on faster flights?
Indeed. A travel agency called Going Ballistic is sending several people at a time on long-range trips via surface-to-air missiles.
How’s the food on these flights?
Food? You don’t seem to understand. These folks will be in Cleveland in four seconds.
That’s not much time for in-flight entertainment.
I guess I’m not explaining this right. These passengers will hold on for dear life, shrieking like a prom queen in a slasher movie, until they slam into an airport terminal at the speed of sound.
Boy, I’ll bet their overhead luggage REALLY shifts during flight, eh?
I give up. Yes, I bet it does.
So in this other photo on the left, I see there’s one guy standing directly in front of the missile. What’s up with him?
Oh, him? I think he’s going stand-by.

I would make a comment in reference to where that missle is pointed in the second pic but, while the spam basket might be in a good mood today, I don’t think it’s in that good of a mood.
hilarious
Chinese soldiers can be short too…
Ofcourse I meant, Taiwanese by that…
Everybody knows the little guy in the middle is just pretending to help…
I’m thinking they are Taiwan’s National Rhythmic Gymnastics team… and they are practicing for the next competition. I bet they blow everyone else out of the water.
Ladies and gentlemen, a welcome return engagement by veteran commenter justK! You’ve been a great audience, and K will be here all week….
I think they’re doing the Electric SAM Slide.
You put your left foot in
You take the missile out
You put your left foot in
And move the missile all about
You do the hokie-tokie, put the missile on it’s pad
That’s when you run like mad
Brilliantly played, Bob…stroke my ego to get me to comment more often. You know me too well…and for that you must die!!!
Ahem.
Just kidding.
She’s not kidding, readers. If something unfortunate happens to me involving wolverines or extra-large cans of cranberry jelly, please point the finger at justK.
Spin… BG mentioned that JustK is a “she”… how can she be Hugh Jackman… no.. no.. no! Not done!!!
JustK, while BG does have a tendency to be zapped occasionally, I dont think we should do him any lasting harm. What say you?
Sad photos
Nosmo, loooooooooooved the song!!!
K, welcome back… see, dont do anything YET to BG… lets make that an OSU project… what say OSUers?
@justK – I think if you look closely, you’ll see that the ‘little guy in the middle’ that’s just faking it? Is actually a girl.
Maybe she’s just practicing that whole ‘faking it’ thing.
Spin, lets take this offline, shall we? Teheeeheeee!
Oh boy, a secret OSU collaboration. Someone is going to have to start sleeping with one eye open.
