The Fellas Are, Indeed, En Fuego

After the jump, a couple of highlights from the Dallas Hispanic Firefighters Association's 2009 calendar. But I don't think that's how you're supposed to wear the uniforms, gentlemen. Doesn't look very safe. --Robert Wilonsky

C'mon, we all know Bacon's fantasy is that all brown-skinned people die die horrible, painful deaths. Fuckin' racist.
Not only do we work for free, we'll pay you! Knottygirl (whose hot flashes alone could light up the set)
and BTW, we work for free. Jack Jett Stylist to the Studs
Dear Dallas Hispanic Firefighters Association: I am a writer/photographer. I would like to volunteer my time for your next calendar. My associate, Knottygirl, will be coming along to set up lighting, and I can also provide a stylist, Jack E. Jett. Yours Truly, Bethany
Trust me, that is the <em>last</em> thing anyone wants. Good Lord.
Ah, Jack, firemen are indeed a shared weakness, but aren't we all really just pining for a "Men of the Dallas Observer" calendar?
Jack, we already know that you think that all heteros secretly want to be gay, but that's <i>your</i> fantasy, not mine.
Hey Bacon.. I think you might be blogging what you are day dreaming. Knotty...this is probably the reason we could never marry. We would be fighting over firemen.
You and me both, Knottygirl... Almost makes me want to start playing with matches...
ChrisU--don't I wish! For a minute there, I thought I was on fire, and then I realized it was a hot flash. Sigh.
Hyperventilating? hang in there, Knottygirl- Charlie and Jim from the rescue unit are on the way.
Sure Mike, driving a cab may be more dangerous because a cab driver spends their whole shift driving on the streets. But isn't driving a fire engine also hazardous when you consider the idiot drivers who don't know how to properly yield to a fire engine with the lights and sirens going? And sure, 24/28 isn't too bad, if you didn't spend your entire 24 hour shift awake. If you did, you spend your next 24 hours recovering.
Holy shamoley, I'm hyperventilating here.
Is that lighting flare in the upper-right corner of the first pic blotting out the word "gay?"
I respect our firefighters. However, driving a cab or working a convenience store counter is significantly more dangerous, just as essential and much less lucrative and likely to include health insurance. The whole 24/48 schedule ain't bad either.
