Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
We can fix up this grenade, good as new!
Blog Guy, I’m a recent college graduate who needs career advice. I picked up a colorful brochure entitled “The Exciting Field of Refurbishing Rocket-Propelled Grenades,” and I wondered if I should look into that.
A lot of grads are asking me that these days. It looks like RPG Refurbishment is attracting entry-level folks at a rapid pace.
Kids, I know the brochures make it seem really glamorous, but I just can’t recommend this career path.
Sure, the black rubber gloves look cool, but you have to ask yourself why this man’s boss has located his office behind 450 massive truck tires.
Just pay no attention to that guy…
Okay sir, we hired your consulting firm, flew you over here from the U.S. in first class, and bought you a big steak dinner.
It’s time to share your military expertise. For example, at this crucial road checkpoint here, what should we be doing, Mr. – I’m sorry, please remind me of your name?
Gives whole new meaning to “air guitar”
Blog Guy, you know that city in Siberia that you like to call Wackytown?
Yes, Krasnoyarsk. It is the goofiest spot on earth.
I was wondering, do they have a space program?
Indeed they do, and it’s a strange one.
No! Why doesn’t that surprise me?
The folks there wanted to be the first to shoot a guitar into space, and yesterday they succeeded.
A guitar? What’s the name of this program?
“Stairway to Heaven,” I believe.
Hmm. And where did the guitar launch director sit?
At the instrument panel, of course.
Did they have their own launch pad?
You bet, the Stratocaster.
Okay, even you couldn’t make up stuff this stupid. Is rock music getting popular in Krasnoyarsk?
No no no, I’m a rocket man…
Okay troops, listen up!
Some of you are new to using different kinds of rockets, so they’ve asked me, a Professor of Grenadery, to teach you some things.
Hey private! You wanna stop using your rocket to pound in that tent stake and come over here?
