But, I do it because I figure all y'all deserve a break from trying to guess what arcane piece of dumpster bait get the exact nomenclature of John's latest toy from underneath the bench seat in the southwest corner of the Regimental Sar'nt-Major's bunker during the Siege of Mafeking. However, this is not one of those times.Those of you who don't really have a life will should get this one right off the bat -- And, as always, I provide *context*!Now, the second one isn't really a Whatziss, but... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:00:43 -0600

I would agree, in an *aircraft maintenance area*, proper attire should be worn. Problem, I saw nothing to suggest that actual aircraft maintenance was being done. If such activity was the center one's *only* attention, then I can see how you would draw such a conclusion. "I'm sure Bill had that exact thought in mind." It appears to me, Bill was extremely focused on *context*.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html#comment-93846 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html#comment-93846 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:50:13 -0600
The second looks like 2 tactical distraction devices.

In an aircraft maintenance area proper attire should be worn at all times to prevent exposure to chemicals and other hazards. A bare or naked mid-rift is a ground safety violation...cute..but something is definitely being violated here. Someone should read her a regulation or two. I'm sure Bill had that exact thought in mind.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html#comment-93843 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html#comment-93843 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:44:17 -0600
@Fishmugger, I agree the "Whatziss" is probably a mounting pod for a camera. Maybe you could enlighten me, what would be the ground safety violation?

If they are,

Nope.

What happened to the blonde?

She's the next clue.

Hey, c'mon, there's *always* a blonde...

Are they good luck in the Good Ship Hubert?

ha-RUMPH!

And I have *never* used anything from the Siege of Mafeking  (Okay, I read the post before I finished the comment).

I'm not sure what the second picture is of as my eyes keep going out of focus from staring too hard. The shirt would be a ground safety violation but who's going to tell her. They look like the USO girls from the Trump ceremony. If they are, I was smooched by the Redhead...and lived to tell about it. What happened to the blonde??]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html#comment-93824 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/09/a_twofer_yanno.html#comment-93824 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:50:14 -0600 context, right, right, right!
