Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Insult to injury:

"If you were just going to talk to someone, I don't know that you would need a wig, a trench coat, an air cartridge BB gun and pepper spray," said Orlando police Sgt. Barbara Jones. "It's just really a very sad case."

"Not only did you flip out and act crazy, but you were totally lame in your crazy execution, you diaper-wearing, BB-gun toting, silly trenchcoat wearing mother of three."

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

Heh.

"..you diaper-wearing, BB-gun toting, silly trenchcoat wearing, never-going-into-space-again mother of three."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wasn't there a Sobek something or other on Buffy? The part of my brain where I hide those things is hinting to me that it had something to do with the giant rubber snake. Does anyone remember?

Yes.

And I know this from Cindy, who mentioned it when I said something about Sobek the talking crocodile in DC's 52 title.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Don't they give astronauts regular psychological tests? Or am I basing my beliefs on that stupid Aerosmith video/Michael Bay film?

They tested the guys in The Right Stuff, though!

What chaps my ass is this stupid women is probably setting the feminist movement back a few decades. I'm waiting for the inevitable rush of conservative asswipes commenting how women are mentally unsuitable for space exploration.

Like mack on two astronaut colleages at the same time, one of whom is both married and a nutter.

All this stuff about the craxy astronaut makes me wonder if she was also sucking on a bar of soap and muttering about her ice cream bar.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yes.

Thank you, Steph. I am now irrationally happy that S'port has a krewe of Sobek- I imagine they're referencing the crocodile/alligator looking got, but still. Yay!

One of the funniest things in the book is when an astronaut was given a test where he had to look at a blank piece of paper and tell the shrink what he saw. He looked dubiously at the shrink, as if fearing a trick, and said, "But it's upside-down." The shrink then looked down at the blank piece of pater to check for himself. When he looked back at the astronaut, the astronaut had a big "Gotcha!" grin....
