This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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

Of course, what I really want to see is what happens when someone gets sucked into the engine of a 747. Or maybe a 777, as they have bigger engines (over 100,000 lbs of thrust on some models).

Of course, pushing someone in front of a big jet engine (even a naughty person) might be considered unethical. So we need a corpse. And probably a couple million dollars to pay for a new engine....

Well, on Alias, Spy!Granma is definitely looking for something and acting like a villain. .. but perhaps it'll work out that she's not, you know?

How'd you like that cut between, I think Syd being tortured right to Spy!Granpa - for a nanosecond they made me think that he had kidnapped Sydney and was behind it all.

This sounds like a job for Buster, the crash test dummy on Mythbusters.

I mean, it would be his last job, but considering he's been rocketed, blown up while sitting on a toilet, bashed with exploding soda cans, and who knows what else, I think it would be a fitting retirement ceremony for him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But Buster's not squooshy enough. You need something that's both going to fragment and send wet gobbets flying.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think it's the sort of thing they tend to use dead pigs for.

Sort of a modern-age goat sacrifice to the god of thrust.

Mmm. Kerosene-flavored bacon.

So they yanked the primary UPSes out of line last weekend, as they are being replaced this weekend.

The lights just flickered and everything started to whomp.

Oops.
