Helping Out Never Looked So Good...

There's another project dedicated to helping wounded vets of which I was recently made aware.

California Woman Raises Troop Morale, Funds With 'Pin-Ups for Vets' Calendar
Pin-up art — a morale-booster for troops fighting overseas during World War II — is making a comeback, or will be if a California woman has anything to say about it.

Gina Elise, 26, is bringing retro back with her third annual "Pin-Ups for Vets" calendar, which features herself in costumes and poses that were popular among America's fighting men in the 1940s. Profits from the sales of the calendars provide assistance to U.S. military hospitals.
Go to Gina's site - Pin-Ups for Vets - and check it out. There's some very tasty (and tasteful; the site is mostly SFW) pin-up art in the calendars (and the motorhead geek in me can't help but ogle the vintage autos used as background). Proceeds go to a good cause, you can even arrange to have a calendar sent to a wounded soldier or soldiers on active duty. Ms. Elise is doing a wonderful thing here in a unique and retro way, and offers a neat way to support our troops.

And if anyone wants me, I'll be in my bunk...

That is all.

Funny, I was just thinking of the second half of that line about 'so much tasty' and a certain part popping off and whizzing around the room,' and you throw in the timely 'I'll be in my bunk.'
