Or 12 incomplete collections. From Gina:

We only have 12 2017 Pin-Ups For Vets calendars left! I often get asked after we sell out if we have more, so be sure to get yours asap!

Delay not.

We now close this transmission with some fabulous images.

Gina, dolled up for the Army Ball:

Gina with Michael Schiltz, survivor of an IED explosion in 2007. Described as an unstoppable hero, and rightly so.

And a little peek at what’s coming in 2018…

Now you know why male pin up calendars don’t work.

Thanks to Beatnik Daddio.

I consider myself a fairly ferocious memer. But I bow in this case to a superior talent, who has done some very interesting work here with Australia’s Minister for Defence, Christopher Pyne.
We just put a whole new face on terrorism.

This needs more WTFs than the internet can handle.

In Perth, it’s the bridges that are under attack.

June 2017 – the Hay Street bridge meets a truck heading south on the Mitchell Freeway. Please note, swearing has been added by the video maker. (Though not as much swearing as the truck driver encountered when he got to his delivery point.)

This is right in the heart of the CBD; the main part of the city is on the left, and to the immediate right is Parliament House. Surprisingly traffic was back to normal within a day.

If I was the Hay Street overpass I’d be taking stress leave. 2014: same bridge, practically the same spot.

Out in the suburbs the Bayswater railway bridge had an up close and personal in April this year.

From the story at WA Today:

The area has had a long and embarrassing history, with one local going so far as to put up a sign in November:

 “The next truck to get stuck under the King William Subway is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. Please make alternative travel arrangements,” it said. 

 

The sign proved accurate to within 24 hours when a Western Power truck was the latest to fall victim to the low clearance.

The story continues at the link. Japan to the rescue! Sort of.

His abilities were a little more refined. He’d zap Sister Mary’s clothes off during religion class.

is why you don’t get up to pee in the middle of the night.

Thanks to Pinup Town.

Stephen Furst,  fat-drunk-and-stupid Flounder from the legendary Animal House, has died at age 63.
His family has asked that he be remembered with laughter, not sadness. In accordance with their wishes…

Yeah, that’s right. Us white guys have awesome mind control powers. I can make a woman scream just by walking down the street! Of course she’s usually screaming HELP POLICE!!! but that almost sounds like YES YES YES!!! if you don’t listen too carefully.

Oh dear… there’s a voice in the back of my head, and it’s whispering Mothers Day card….
