"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It's unfortunate because you can see the TV guys' little gears turning over in their brains: "You know, that team that just won the World Series is full of... characters...."

It's hilarious that this means a team called the Giants is following in the footsteps of the New York Jets. Probably the first time that's ever happened.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The plane is full of teenagers. Jet Blue. Hmmph.

Loud teens, I am guessing.

So I started the morning off bad. I tripped over a snow shovel in the basement. Managed to scrape up and bruise my shin, nasty bruise just below my elbow and my butt hurts. Really? Driving shall be interesting, and I'm headed out to E.C. now. Ah well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ouch, sarameg. I hope it doesn't hurt for long.

ita, I bet if you puked on the teenagers, it might make them less noisy.

Because books.

msbelle is super sassy.

Everything's dripping here. Dripping and then refreezing. Is winter over yet?

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

A video of US Air Force experiments from the 1960s: [link]

At a little after the 3:00 mark, they expose cats and pigeons to weightlessness.

The kitties and pigeons don't like it.

eta: Here is an edited version, with just the weightless cats: [link]

eta²: Here NASA subjects a kitty to weightlessness: [link]

Kinda' looks like animal abuse to me....

Oh, Tommy, those poor kitties! They looked like worms wiggling in the air trying to orient themselves.
