For those of you who are Dirty Jobs fan, tonight is the 100th Episode, and Mike Rowe is going to be taking on some dirty jobs with the US Army.

Not too long ago, he did a very unique episode with the US Air Force - he crawled up inside a USAF tanker - no, not to ride around (although he did later), he literally crawled up inside the fuel bladders. Having flown on many tankers over the year, I never realized just what was involved in the actual refueling part, in regards to changing/fixing the fuel bladders, how they are constructred, what they are made out of, etc. Tonight should be a good episode.

Even with some of the things he gets covered in! I love his sense of humor, dry and biting

I have been watching this show ever since quite a few ladies told me I looked like Mike Rowe.

Rowe has a sense of humor and people skills that anyone could be proud of, he does a lot of damage while being funny and doesn't seem to torque off too many suits.

Fun show

TT

My family loves the show and we Tivo the program.


I had an idea that Mike would make a great "Guest Starring" appearance on "Monk"!

Imagine that!

I love the show, but I really fear he could end up like Steve Irwin. I cringe sometimes when he does stuff and not because it is dirty.

Any sewer system is bad, but SF?

I hope he's well-compensated -- and has a battery of medical tests run after that one. Blecch.

I really enjoy his show. The first one I caught was when he ventured into a Bat Cave and waded through knee deep Guano (a hip word for bat poop).

And then he did a show with Vexcon, the whacky exterminators. That's still my favorite.

I don't think there's a wet wipe large enuff to get Monk to shake Mike's hand!

>>>>>"I had an idea that Mike would make a great "Guest Starring" appearance on "Monk"!<<<<<

That would be so intense, Monk could be his assistant or cameraman... it would be a scream.

If you could just sing like him, you'd be set (he used to be an opera singer).

Everybody I've gotten to watch an episode or two of Dirty Jobs has gotten hooked. The ones that still make me laugh is the Oklahoma noodling one (I like to give the Okies I know a hard time about that one), and the Ostrich one.

I saw that one. The question going through my mind when watching that was, "How do people let that kind of situation get so bad?"
