Allyson, I love that picture.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I love that picture, too, Brenda. I usually can't stand to see photos of me at all. Tim's powers of cuddliness seem to have made me look better.

Unless you're talking about the baby Tim pic, in which case, boy am I embarassed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This couple booked one of those join the Mile High club flights out of Florida and then tried to highjack the plane to cuba.

That's hilarious. But how hard is it to get to Cuba? You just go to Mexico first, no?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am designing and coding a Web site today. I think meds for my cramps made me forget how. Rut-row.

But...NASCAR fanfic? Who knew? Cass, is this what you do when you can't sleep?
NASCAR fanfic? It just seems like that can't go anywhere good.

I'd read Indy fanfic though.

Uh. So, I was scrolling through the Tim images, and um, um. Um.

I can't even.

Do we need to worry?

"But video of what appeared to be some kind of debris falling off Discovery during launch prompted questions that NASA officials said they couldn't immediately answer."

But what a beautiful turn of phrase. I'm going to have to keep that in my pocket for the next time I'm in the hot seat. "Well, that prompts some questions I can't immediately answer."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

At this point they're saying that the debris probably didn't hit the shuttle. But they won't know for sure until Sunday (as it will take that long to review all the video, etc).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I thought we were aiming for a debris free launch?

Dudes! Just use superglue! Quit sticking thermal tiles on with library paste!

Yes, although I think most of their focus was on the bipod area of the tank (they installed heaters there to prevent ice buildup) as that area is more vulnerable for some reason (it's where the foam came off that hit Columbia).
