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

OK, the link I just posted has sponsored links. This is weird:
Earth Orbit
Free Shipping Both Ways at Zappos All Types of Shoes - Huge Selection
www.Zappos.com
OK, "Earth Orbit" is a brand of boot. But the above makes it sound like Zappos has free shipping to and from earth orbit. For shoes, anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought Zappos was going to ship me earth orbit. Which has a nice circular (eta: I guess I mean elliptical, huh?) impossibility to it.
Still, now I want new boots.

I'm earwormed with Tom Jones singing "Sex Bomb," only now as "Gay Bomb."
And now I'm imagining Maggie Simpson doing the robot to "Gay Bomb" (as in quite possibly my favorite throwaway bit from the Simpsons).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Pentagon just got around to confirming the story.

Huh. I never realized that the '60s had ads with such creepy sexual subtext....
American Airlines Ad: Think of her as your mother. (Oct, 1968)
Think of her as your mother.
She only wants what’s best for you.
A cool drink. A good dinner. A soft pillow and a warm blanket.
This is not just maternal instinct. It’s the result of the longest
Stewardess training in the industry.
Training in service, not just a beauty course.
Service, after all, is what makes professional travellers prefer American.
And makes new travellers want to keep on flying with us.
So we see that every passenger gets the same professional treatment.
That’s the American Way.
Fly the American Way

I heard about the Gay Bomb on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend! Funny.
That segment was so gigglarific.
People, if in two places you are responsible for, you state the policy as X, do not come to me and ask me why something is X. It is because you said so!
