Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 21, 2013

They can walk and do ther tasks at the same time.

Pardon my typo, that was supposed to be “other” not “ther.” Dang auto correct never works when you WANT it to!

I bet this is going to be shared and forwarded to a lot of former marching band members. I’ll be showing it to my son.

Yeah, but does she have to high-step it to do that?

The Inauguration, you duhs, The Inauguration!

Love it! I was in Drill Team & Band, & can walk & multi-task at the same time! You are playing an instrument or doing drill routines while marching in fancy formations like half-time shows. It has nothing to do with the idiot-in-chief’s inauguration.

At least she’s not crossing the street!

My employer will not allow us to walk and use a cell phone, we have to stop and talk/text. If we are caught using a cell phone while walking or driving, even in our personal car while on company property we are reprimanded.

In a marching band, you learn to march smoothly so that you can blow your instrument. Have you ever watched the soldiers at the tomb of the unknown soldier? They seem to glide over the ground.

Wen my older daughter was in high school, she was told that you can’t play the oboe in marchng band. That little bamboo reed was too temperamental and fragile. So the first year she played drums or something, the second year the glockenspiel, and the third year the oboe.

Janis is a cheesehead? The letters DO spell “Packers.”

This I think is an MLK inaugeration quote. as well as a marching band quote. For further info look up the quote on the MLK statue in washington.

Yes, walk and and text, sure you can DO it, but have you ever noticed that marching bands rarely ever move at full speed? Nor are they staring at sheet music or going down a busy street with random pedistrians who are NOT part of the preset routine. I swear just 2 days ago I saw an idiot who was driving through a green light at 2 mile per hour, because he was staring so hard at his phone he’d have hit the light post if he was going faster.

“Is she chewing gum…?”Don’t think so . . . chewing gum can be heck on oboe reeds.

When marching you lift your feet higher, thus lessening the possibility of stumbling over a rough place in the sidewalk.

This could also be a reference to the fact that when marching you have to keep your upper body still so you can play your instrument or, in this case, text easily.
