The Balloonist
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am..'
The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'
'You must be an Engineer,' said the balloonist.
'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?'
'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.'
The man below responded, 'You must be in Management.'
'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'
'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my f**king fault.'

Ed Blakely, you complete me
This post is dedicated to the inspiration for this year's Rising Tide theme (Cranes on the Skyline).
Recently, we've learned Ed Blakely has an inflated resume, he goes out of his way to demolish homes for no apparent reason (raising suspicions about his motivations), and is too busy idolizing drug dealers to answer his phone
Could we have the keys to Blakely's secret identity?
E has an alternate theory about the outburst. Did Blakely just get a shank in the back from Nagin (I was going to do another crappy photoshop job, but I decided the image of Blakely and Nagin in a prison shower should never be contemplated).

Things I am not allowed to do
Things I am not allowed to do aboard Galactica. Hilarious. 10+ pages long and growing. H/T to First Draft.
That list was based off this one. Based off some of the people I know, nothing on the list is surprising. If you know anyone in the military, there's nothing more dangerous than a bored soldier. They're like bored 4 year olds with high explosives...
