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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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.

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've just discovered that FAQ Girl has become a total Adam Baldwin Fangirl. She's taken to Netflixing films she knows will be horrible simply because AB is in them. She's watching Evil Eyes RIGHT NOW! (AInotFG).

Well, that too. But she's still a girl (last time I checked).
