The Pie Eater and the Two Bobs

In the ever evolving world of the WTF some of the most unforgetable characters emerge. The Pie Eater and the Two Bobs are no different. During one our "Hail and Fairwell/forced Military Fun" parties several weeks ago, we noticed something that anywhere elsewhere would be considered odd. As we enjoyed our near beer, and "fake barbequed hamburgers," a very large and well fed Arab man came toward the building where our function was at. He walked briskly on the opposite of the street. All of a sudden he made a sharp left turn and entered the patio area where our fun was. By this time the meal was over and we started the dessert portion, which was pie. We all lined up to get some pie. Without missing a step he got into line, grabed a plate, and helped himself to about 2/3 of a pie. At this point we (the monkeys) had yet another WTF look on our face. I then turned to Capt. K or Kizzie, who knows everyone at the WTF 134 (you know the headband and sweatband girl from a couple of entries ago?) and ask "Hey who is the Pie Eater?" Her reply was, "I have never seen him before in my life." Hence another character was born for the WTF reality show.

Several weeks and one forced fun function later, the Pie Eater reappeared. Apparently he works for the WTF 134 as a translator at the WTF Headquarters building (e.g. the place where the guy with two stars on his uniform works aka the flag pole). According to his bio he hails from Dearborne Michigan, imagine that. This time he is not alone. He was with two other not so large but also well fed Arab men. One of the guy's names that the Pie Eater was with was Bob. It is uncertain what the third guy's name is so he was given the name Bob as well. For those who have seen Office Space you will get the reference. Now each time I go down to the WTF headquarters I make it a point to see if the Pie Eater and the two Bobs are around. If they are there, my day is complete. It should also be noted that most of the time we see the Pie Eater and one of the Two Bobs or the Two Bobs and no Pie Eater or just the Pie eater. They never seem to all be together, until the other night though.

Capt S. said he not only saw the Pie Eater and the Two Bobs together, but they were at the gym. He said he spotted them as they attempted to use the equipment. Evidentally, they did not quite know how to use the machines. According to Capt S, The Pie Eater and the Two Bobs looked as out of place as a cat with tape stuck to its paw. Capt S. said that after about an hour of tugging on unfamiliar pulleys and cables on the various weight machines, they completed their workout. The highlight of the workout session, was that the Pie Eater had an Air Force PT (Physical Training in military speak) uniform on. It is characters like these that keep us laughing over here. Things are well. My time is rapidly winding down. 23 more days until I can take a beer off the wall.
