Bill http://www.thedonovan.com 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*

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...

   On second thought, keep it up. We old infantrymen like to see helicopter pilots scare people.  ;)
