Sigh – I’m at the very end of a week of leave, which I requested before the hack and am now extremely thankful I did. I’m not sure the site would have recovered so quick had I been at work this week. Of course, it wouldn’t have come back at all without Marco. Speaking of him, we’re looking at doing a new feature on the site. Read more about it below.
Have a great weekend!
-Farva
Farva,
I do believe you have made it past FIRST generation, AWACKers,. then Second Generation, original Barbie, a good run with the Third Gen block until flamed in cyberspace, now, Fourth Generation AFBlues! Keeps getting better and better! And with time, the bugs will get worked out, just like any new fighter jet, or fighter pilot.
Out F’ing Standing!
(This strip reminds me of this weeks House MD)
Join the forum RobertM
Oooooohhh, that woman is cruel
Oh, the decisions Barbie has to live with…
So this has become an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” sort of situation? Dhart doesn’t seem at all concerned with Leia’s lack of uniform standards now that Barbie’s the target and Lana is providing an assist.
Setting up for a 2 v 1 engagement! Nice!
Must be flyin Raptors, cuz I don’t think Barbie sees this one coming. (sts)
barbie may have stumbled into a threesome. dinner with “lawn dhart” and “leia” sounds like a good time
I see Leia is following the “play dumb to be smart” philosophy. I do too, with an emphasis on the “dumb” part.
Oh that’s not nice at all…. hahahahahaha
OH that’s just freaking EVIL of Leia.
Plug in for the RED SOX! HOLLA!
RobertM…you seriously have AAFES as your home page?
On a side side note…during the B-25 fly-in one of the planes was named Barbie III…i’m just sayin’
yeah, well, I have no home page of my own, and I am on a undercover assignment there. Kind of like Chuck, but OPSEC, you know. Don’t blow my cover.
and for Farva’s benefit, AN undercover assignment. doesn’t sound right in spoken English, but I fear Farva is sucumbing to to Queen’s English. Look through the windscreen over the bonnet and check your tyre pressure, according to Ministary of DeFence rules
AN undercover sounds just fine, actually.
Try ESPN or even AFBlues…but AAFES?
I guess you would prefer walmart.com?
actually…..
dont forget previous pre-hacked threads, Old aafes CG is now SVP at wally-world.. which orginization will go down or uphill? (IMHO)
this is why I use duats for WX brief, and not LockMart or guvment. Granted, Barbie needs to be told what WX is, but the sane rest of us can draw our own conclusions, and fly safely.
Dude, I think I speak for a fair number of us when I say “WTF are you talking about?”
I’m gonna have to agree with Farva
Ditto…Although I know what Duats is. I dont see the Issue with Lockmart they get me my weather briefing.
I use https://adds.aviationweather.gov. AOPA actually has a pretty decent weather feature now, too.
Farva, I do believe I almost spit my Diet Dr. Pepper all over my computer screen when I read your response.
good hearted (too) subtle poke at WXguy
say whaaaat?
Shes not as dumb as she pretends to be, eh.
It’s like they say; the only thing better than one redhead is two! =)
finally got my gravatar and account set up. lovin this new site, cant wait for the members area.
dinner at the dahl residence? sounds like a massacre…
if the new gravatar is an issue, Farva, let me know, it shall be changed, i just wanted to beat you to it haha. every time i see the logo i get an urge to Netflix the whole series…ive seen them A LOT in the last year haha
Speakin of series…channel surfin’ last nite found Back to the Future…AFTER all 3…Man, am I tired this morning…good thing Wing Run was cancelled and all I had to do was sit in GCC
I like it, IKEA. I considered using it, but went with one of my own drawings in the end. I’m sure it’ll change frequently.
Da Da DAAAAA, there will be a hot time in ol’ town tonight!
Very evil. Can’t wait for the explosion at their place. **l**
You know, I just can’t feel bad for Barbie at this point.
I’m guessing that RobertM is our official AFBlues Page stalker. The REFRESH button is his friend!
For someone that is using the handle of a Transformer, I wouldn’t be speaking ill like that, bubba. Them’s Texas Fighting words. Look for me at your next visit to the BX. I am Everywhere, and will ensure you have the *best* shopping experience ever. OOPsie, credit card declined.
Seriously, newbie!!!! You think I drew my gravatar myself?
He’s such an addict… not that I can fault him for it
Newbie? NEWBIE? How can you justify calling me a newb? Go to the forums and look up Black Optimus…far from a newb Mr. Refresh!
Yeah… Black Optimus has been with us from the start…
…chicks before dicks. Seriously.
Lol, well put
Ha ha, she would so do that! Barbie is screwed! (STS)
Barbie should really try and get better friends, though I suppose he doesn’t exactly deserve them lol.
@IKEA I just finished my Jurassic Park DVD collection, top ten moments of my life. I found Lost World in a dollar bin at a college bookstore.
It’ll be interesting to see where the twist is
It is so great to watch EVIL at work
OK, I guess I need to get this on the record for the New AFBlues site. Yes, I am an AAFES employee at Supreme Headquarters In Texas (S.H.I.T.)
Any postings I make here are in my own opinion only, and do not reflect the views of AAFES, Departments of the Army or Air Force or Defense.
That being said, I enjoy as much as Farva, fun being poked at AAFES by him, and his readers, and hope that AAFES takes note and tries to correct the problems.
Military Customer for 37 years, employee for 19 years. I am Loyal to the Air Force but rotten to the Corps.
:-U
Hey!!! I resemble that remark!!!
Let’s see how well this gravatar works.
LOL, love it.
I hope Barbie likes his sandwiches with ketchup and mustard!
On a side note, can anyone tell me how to upload the thumbnail for the user?
check the last couple of days post for instructions….
Gravatar.com
I’m personally having some issues getting it to work, but that’s where it’s supposed to start.
Found out you need to delete your temp files on IE if you want to see any changes to your gravatar. Just refreshing the page won’t do it.
I just took an Air Force WAG and figured it out!
Leia is my hero!
Love the new site layout Farva, you and Marco have outdone yourselves with the new site.
This ought to be fun! Good going, Leia! XD
Ugh! Estrogen poisoning!
Nice comic! Btw, having some issues getting my Gravatar setup, but just sent them an email, so hopefully I can get that rectified.
Farva…. any objections to me “stealing” the Joker for my Gravatar? I love it and the Joker is definitely my favorite DC villain
.
If it’s not cool, no worries, I have backups
Go for it. I’m having a lot of fun creating the little mood icons, so you’ll be seeing a lot of new ones on a regular basis.
That looks like something one of my friends would do . . .
The best Joker ever. Like the Gravatar
Thanks! Funny thing, kinda looks like me, too. Except I don’t have an SR2 hat. Damn Bioware store . . .
Speaking of the Joker…who’s played Arkham Asylum?
Was planning on getting the game when I had though Joker was playable… but from everything I’ve read after its release, he isn’t? Was that a specific platform thing or did I just have some seriously wishful thinking going?
Arkham Asylum was pretty good. i had it for the PS3. There was a thing online where you could play as the joker.
i think.
It is a great game, but I kinda broke off to play Ghostbusters for a bit. So far it’s blowing my mind. The movie fascinated me as a kid and now playing the game is freaking amazing.
all we need is Kelly for dinner as well to make the evening complete
Something, something, something . . . dark side.
Something, something, something . . . complete.
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking..
LOL Women never forget……
Awesome job FARVA! GOOD TO GO.
Amazing Farva. This is by far my favorite website!
Oh man, Barbie is going down hard. (STS?)
It’s gonna be a 2 on 1 and Barbie won’t stand a chance…(STS)
Loving the new site, Farva. I may have missed it in the other threads, but what happened to the old site?
Long time reader, first time poster – LOVE the new site. This is the very first website I open when I get home – always a highlight to my day! Especially love the Star Wars themed comics. Thank you for what you do, and lemme know if you’re ever in Germany – will buy you and Katie a beer.
Love the new site layout, good job Farva and Marco. And Barbie is in major trouble here.
69th!!!
Love the site Farva.
Hey Buff is that Maj. Kong in your avatar?
Oh, it’s gotta be.
It sure is! Yee-Haw!
I worked with his (Mr. Lindley’s) grandson at Elmendorf.
Sure is, Yupimacop…if that is your real name! Required viewing for kids here at the BUFF schoolhouse.
Nice… my favorite part with him in it is when they are going through the inventory of the survival kit
Helluva recovery on the site Farva. Hooah!!
Job well done.
So…does my Garvatar work? Used to be Al, now DeltaDart
I love the new site. It looks awesome!
Love it. Rather evil, but totally something I would do.
One of these days, Barbie’s head is just gonna asplode.
Garvatar check….
I love how like 1/2 of us have taken some picture of barbie or another character, took the facial expression outta context, and made it our gravatar. Out Freakin Standing!
Kaydet, not sure if you are CAP,JROTC, or AFROTC, but SERIOUSLY!!!!
Check your gravatar stats, 50% are not using Barbie or other pics, and those few of us that Farva has cartoonized love his drawn gravatars.
man, your math that bad, next duty station flying predators over the Texas/Mexico border. Dont shoot me down.
All else, come up with something original. Most have, and, like Farva, love seeing the choices.
and, seriously? Barbie is a fighter pilot f-up. You taking his image as your mentor?
Go google you a better gravatar
Doosh.
Actually, I like seeing people use my characters, too. It’s flattering as hell.
Robert, that was kinda trollish. The Guy was just saying he liked seeing Gravatars of Barbie making a funny face. I think the phrase “like 1/2″ is specifically meant to show no math was used. And, BTW, the facial expression he choose IS pretty damn hilarious.
Oh,and I hope by “this weekend” she (Leia) means the night Barbie is bringing Kelly by. Foursome from HELL!
So you’re saying that CadetMajorMcClure’s MATH is “that bad?” I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that your English/Grammar is terrible. (i.e.; an undercover vs a undercover).
Why don’t YOU show your originality and choose a different Gravatar since you took one from the comic as well.
@ black optimus
Re, gravatar. Yep, it is original. Check the June 2009 archives, aafes week. That is Farva’s pretty realistic drawing of a certain aafes employee, who occasionaly cops an attitude.
What part of “Out- Freakin -Standing” don’t you understand?? Its pretty hard to confuse that for sarcasm.
CadetMajorMcClure are you on the forum? If not…we’d love to have you!
I’ve read it, but I don’t think I’m actually on it. Unfortunately I can’t claim readership from the beginning, I discovered it about a year ago.
Well sign up already man!
Hah, its gotten better since I last read this…
My apologies to all. was WAY too late at night after WAY too much time at the club to be posting snarky crap.. Putting controls on my ‘puter to prevent this.
lashes taken and accepted.
All he needs now is his cousin from way back to round out Operation Estrogen Fury!
Barbie may be under so much terrifying stress he may sprout hair.
Hopefully it’ll cause him to man up and grow some chest hair.
Love the new site Farva. It’s great that you added gravatar to the site nice touch.
Yes Gravatar works!!!
pupimacop! I like!
Gravatar won’t work for me. It says I have an account but won’t accept the password!
Hmm,
Looks like it was the dash in my username, guess I’ll have to change that and re-register
reminder to all, the gravatar user name has nothing to do with your user name on AFBlues. it is based on the email address you use at gravatar and here.
Don’t Panic!!!! I LOVE!
Man you are the King of random.
Leia is such a meanie! LOL!
Glad the site is back up and running, ruined my week when I couldn’t get my Monday morning dose of AFB. Looking forward to seeing what’s coming, so please keep em coming!
STS
Weekends are too long without AFBlues!!!
Just caught up on the comics and saw a new smitty on the page. I know smith is common but may I say FIRST with the name.
Wow, Dhart really intrigues me and scares me at the same time. Well, I think Barbie’s weekend is going to “memorable” no matter what happens. Can’t wait to see the carnage.
Testing avatar. Test out.
Ya’ll have some interesting gravitar’s
So…lots can happen on a weekend…like testing a gravatar
