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."
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

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).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My friend the psychologist had to teach a sex class to freshman. She showed them a film on geriatric sex.
Oh, was this "The Personals"? An Oscar-winning movie about retired people dating! I watched a short clip about a guy -- probably 80 -- who discussed how, now that he can't get it up regularly, providing oral sex is a pretty good substitute, although it was something he didn't learn a thing about till he was in his 70s.
I am having the worst work day evar. Or, it would be worse if the metaphorical yelling were literal, but it's been pretty bad. I would really like to go home in 7 minutes, but can't.

I'm so sorry Nutty. In my opinion, nobody should ever be yelling at you.
Maybe you should retire to a life of genteel poverty.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I just signed a year-long lease on an apartment, hon. Genteel poverty will have to wait at least a year.
The worst part is, all of the yelling is totally justified and makes sense. I just didn't/couldn't handle something properly, and the ball dropped and splatted all over everyone's shoes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That was before the kamikaze cicadas.

Just like Junior Soprano! Awwww.
