The Shoutbox
Aus - Last night a friend, who is going through the BSG experience on DVD, stopped over to pick up the next disc. He needed to pick up the last disc of season 1, so I convinced him that, since there was just the one episode left, he should watch it at my place. I just LOVE seeing people's reaction to the final minutes of that episode. I looke over, and his jaw is agape... "Holy ****...I never saw that coming!!! Ahhhhh!"
You know what's a beating? Having the name Bobby and at some point having every person I know say "What about Bob?" like they're the first to ever say it.
Gotta love the 'ol urban dictionary
Ooh, so we're going with the hip, urban spelling of "commode," then, are we?
What a Kamode-ian...
If there was a burglar, you were going to ... (wait for it) ... butter him up.

'scuse me while I crawl into a hole and die.
Well, it was cast iron. So I probably would have needed a blow torch for that job.
Another butterknife story:

One night, when I was 7 or 8, I had a few friends over to spend the night. We were hanging out in my brother's room because he was out for the night, and his room had the Nintendo. At some point, however, the lamp in my room inexplicably turned on by itself. Knowing I had to check it out, I went to the kitchen and got a butterknife, and with my friends behind me, crept into my room.

As it turns out, it was just a faulty wire in the lamp bulb. But my friends and I still laugh about it today... I mean, what did I think I was going to do with a butterknife?
Shortly before the launch, Shepard stated "Please, dear God, don't let me f*** up." This has since become known among aviators as "Shepard's Prayer."

My favorite of the seven, in movie and real life, would definitely have to be Gordon Cooper. He went the highest, fastest, and hardest.
I love that movie too. Especially since my mom watched the coverage of Alan Shepard becoming the first man in space while in labor and giving birth to me (May 5, 1961).

The only weird thing nowadays is that the coverage on the anniversaries always make it sound like it's now ancient history! Sheeeesh!
I just watched The Right Stuff. I forgot how much I love that movie. Great story and great cast.
