The Big Names who go on the USO tours seem to get all the coverage in the MSM -- and I'm including Stars & Stripes in that category -- but for every one of the above-the-title stars who appear in theater (as opposed to The Theatre), there are a bunch of folks who have had a bit more than their five minutes of fame who come here merely to say "Hiya" to the troops.
Appearing tonight, live in the DFAC, direct from a Meet'n'Mingle in the MWR tent: Don Shula, Warrick Dunn, a couple of the below-the-title stars of Wedding Crashers and The Boyfriend, about eight TV sitcom familiar faces, and The First-Ever "Hooters Girl" from the First-Ever Hooters. They spent more time tonight shaking hands and chatting with the troops than two Household Name politicians did -- *combined* -- during their various visits over here.
So, next time you bump into someone wearing a red "USO" T-shirt that looks like it's seen a few sandstorms, smile and say, "Somebody told me where you got that, and why. Thank you."
And, no, I didn't bother them -- by the time I got to chow, they were finally getting the chance to sit down and have something to eat.
Besides, I think I scared the Hooters chick. She kept *staring* when i walked past ...
*grinnnnn*

I thought you scared newbie pilots and "Angels," (and of course, the enemy!) But scaring the Hooters girl? Bad pilot, bad pilot!
On second thought, keep it up. We old infantrymen like to see helicopter pilots scare people. ;)
Visualize Lamont Cranston -- in khaki.
With broader shoulders...
Go geezers!
Sorry boss. Gonna have to skip the weekly office update. Got Don Shula and a pretty girl down at the USO.
He said she was the first one hired, but he's been known to err -- he once made the mistake of trying to out-ribald Fire Pixie. During chow. While she was eating a banana.
Imagine the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally with Meg Ryan using a visual aid...
Ummmmmm -- thanks?
