It isn't just getting the feet under them, it's the time it takes their bodies to relax to absorb the shock of landing.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My itunes just played On the road again and now I have to leave for work.
I think the earworm is going to be massive and unavoidable.

Hec, don't look!
But you can look at this.

Lunch report: I chose Chipotle. Vegetarian burrito, sour cream, guac, mild salsa, for those wondering.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wish there were a Chipotle convenient to me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My intuitive answers on the physics questions:
(1) Chrysanthemum.
(2) Harold Lloyd.
I guess you're not of the school of thought that has the fall (and not the attempted landing) as being the first fatal bit, huh? Is that supposed to be true, or debunked? Also, how do you test and remain even vaguely ethical?
I read an article recently (and I wish I could remember where I saw it, but here's a similar article) about that very subject. They went to various animal hospitals and asked for info on their patients.
Oddly enough, maximum fatality seems to occur from falls in the 7 story range.

I don't think the "mild" salsa is very mild.
Burning lips! Burning lips!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just love the word "chipotle" I swear I'd never heard it before I moved out west, and now every time I see it I have to roll the syllables over my tongue.
Almost as tasty as the flavour itself.

I like Chipotle's corn salsa, except for the GIANT chunks of jalapeno they put in it.

I brought my lunch today. I have a heavy hand with the garlic and red pepper flake, so my mouth is burning pleasantly, as well.
