I've done a bootlegger's turn. My ex the police detective showed me how. It would take money, alcohol and freedom to mock to make me see The Dukes of Hazard in any form.
I do, however, have a ticket to the preview, thanks to Bicyclops.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aside from being in the EW must see list, Serenity/Firefly also appears on the front page of TV Guide it appears.
Well, that might have something to do with Buffistas working as writers at both EW and TV Guide.

Now, Hec. I frequently get several blocks away from my front door before breaking something. Sometimes I travel across country before breaking something.

I think we simply need to fit you with a parking brake which you can yank at any time, perhaps keeping you from hitting the ground, or simply reversing your direction.

And what was the thing they did in Top Gun?
Without watching the movie again, which I just won't do, I think it was an Immelman - half a vertical loop is followed by half an in-line twist, meaning the train has completed one inversion and travels in the opposite direction exiting the element to that when it entered.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was that before or after the volleyball game? If it was during, I'd have remembered. In a happy, dazed way to be sure.

The train? A train can do an Immelman?

Oops. I actually copied that without reading it, really - I think that's applying to rollercoasters.
