BMECT!

¿Que?

But My Experience Contradicts This!

We can all breath easy now... the Space Toilet is working again. [link]

NASA says that the sole commode on the International Space Station is working again after a week on the fritz, but that it's not 100 percent.

The problem: a pump that separates out liquid waste malfunctioned, forcing the station's three crew members to play space plumbers.

"They swapped out lots of pieces of hardware," NASA spokesperson Nicole Cloutier said, noting, "It's still not working in the most ideal sense." To maintain pressure in the pump, she says, crew members (Russian cosmonauts Sergey Volkov and Oleg Kononenko, along with NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman) must manually add water after every three flushes. She says final repairs will likely be made next week when Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to arrive bearing gifts of toilet hardware.

Is this not one of the most awesome phrases in the English language?: ...Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to arrive bearing gifts of toilet hardware.

I am sad that I have never had any of the beers on that list. I've had other beers by some of the brewers listed, but not those 10 specific beers.

I was thinking the same thing! (But you probably expected that.)

I love Unibroue brewery's name, because I always think Unibrow, instead of Unibrew (the latter makes more sense, given that it's a, you know, brewery).

Some more than others.

In the great beer names, they missed Arogant Bastard Ale!

OMG my shoulder is so f'd up, it now hurts to take a deep breath. I think I really really truly need to schedule a deep tissue massage this week.

Ouch! I have had only one deep tissue massage work on that sort of tightness--I've had more than one very light massage (but I don't know what sort to ask again) do magic, as well as massage, and also trigger point injections where they shoot lidocaine into the acupuncture points.

Sorry about that, Sean! I got caught up reading the products whose reviews consisted of one or five stars. People are weird.

Burrell, I hadn't thought about them that way. I have to admit, I don't see a lack of behavioural command to your first example, but that might be because life looks like a computer program to me.

I'm fond of He-brew (the beer of the chosen people). Also, Pig's Eye beer, which was the name of St. Paul before they decided Pig's Eye wasn't family friendly enough....

This is exactly what I'm doing!
