Hurrah! I didn't follow all the news on that one: how did they survive down there? Did they have two months' worth of rations?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

There are happy dogs that expect a good thing to happen, and then there are others who seem to have a case of the gloomies. Dogs can be classified as optimists or pessimists the same as humans, according to research from a team led by Michael Mendl.
Heh. This is not news to me.
ETA: which is not to say she's not a happy dog. But she definitely looks at the world waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still can't believe that mine story. P-C, they sent stuff down to them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
P-C, they sent stuff down to them.
Yeah, they had some narrow tube, so anything that could fit they could send down.

They also could have sent a DVD of that movie of the guy who's trapped in a coffin....

I haven't heard the story of how the miners got the first "hey 33 of us are alive in here" note out. And I can't even imagine keeping hope up for 17 days before they did.
CNN does a dece job of shutting up when the miners emerge but some of them act like they're being interrupted. Dude, you're the filler, they're the story.
