Well, lucky for Bunz and Katz the store manager didn’t turn out to be Big Blue after all. Were that the case, then Bunz would sorely need her super ray gun to balance things out.
Just as an example of how out of it I may be, it took me a while to noodle this out… I kept thinkin’ “‘Big Blue‘ – Why should B&K be worried about IBM??” Then it Dawned on me… “Ah, he’s talkin’ about Supes!” My own inference gag an’ I missed it!
Hmmmm. Our “sailor” is geeky, skinny, spindle legged, carrot nosed, beady eyed, and wearing pink underwear and a skirt. Can you tell that our beloved comic creator is an inactive jarhead? (I’m told there’s no such thing as an “ex-jarhead”. Apparently the brainwashing is permanent.) ;->
Uh… Jus’ to keep the military gobbledegook straight for you Civilian types, a “Jarhead” is generally an Infantry type of USMC personnel, or actually “Grunt” was more current when I was in… However, I spent my time in the Airwing (Avionics Tech) an’ we didn’t really rate any cool or insulting nick names… mostly I think Grunt types called us: “Those Lazy Slacker B*st*rds!” while the Squiddlys called us: “Those D*mb Sh*t B*st*rds! who aren’t Grunts!”
That being said: Sailor Bob is Not intended to disparage any US Military Naval types, current or inactive… the last time I checked, authorized US Naval uniforms did not include frilly Sailor Chick skirts and bows… But then again, it’s been a while – things may have changed – If this is the case, please accept my apologies…
Awww Come on man! What’s a bit of good natured back and forth between us former uniformed types? No apologies necessary – AND I have it on good authority that I speak for every single active or inactive military person viewing this website! (Trust me – would a squid make up a lie like that?)
Actually since you were air wing you would qualify as a special type of (ahem) Marine – you get to be a “wing wiper” or “cloud lice”. (With love in my heart – Bill the Surly ex-squid, tweaker-twiget, and Special Boat guy.)
Actually, we very rarely “Wiped Wings” In fact while stationed at Iwakuni, our Squadron was reputed to have had the filthiest planes on base!! This was due to, our being the last flying F4B squadron in either the USMC or USN – the planes were so beat up and worn out – and we were so far behind on maintenance, they couldn’t spare any of us enlisted types for plane washing duty!! Eventually the Ossifers started coming out on weekends to scrub the baked on gunk off the planes… Ahh, the memories: It’s a rare an novel sight to see Pilots actually performing manual labor!!

Feed Sailor Bob to Katz to save us all! 🙂
But… but…. his eyes don’t pop! He DOES have an earring and a queue – so 19th century. Bet he has a jar of “jolly tar” hair gel.
Uh…
Duh…
Bluh…
(Stunned pause)
Ya know, “Sailor Bob” makes even the Bronies look almost normal…
