Companies that Respond to Resumes Fastest Have the Highest Turnover
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

I'd be inside that glass box in a flash! I love stuff like that!

Richard Branson planning a glass-bottomed plane for Virgin.
I think I would love this but my brain might revolt. I'd try it though!!

I have always though I would not do the Grand Canyon thing for anything. I think I'd have less issue with a plane though--for most of it, stuff is SO far away that my brain doesn't go "eek, height".
There's something like that in the CN Tower in Toronto. I had to physically make myself do it. You try to move, and the body's like, "Hell, no, are you stupid?"
Heh. When I dated a Torontonian she took me there and laughed at me when I was like "hell no" to standing on that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll stand back, leaving room on the glass floors for those that like such things.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Glass-bottom boats, good. Glass-bottom planes, NOFUCKINGWAY.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They have glass sections on the floor of the top observation deck of the CN tower in Toronto. I tried to walk on one while looking down but my body just refused to do it.
When I went some six or seven year old snuck up on me and gave a little shove while his father laughed his ass off. Nice. Real nice. Not only are you teaching your child to be a douche bag, I nearly (reflexively) decked your kid.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I too want to do the Alps glass thing. I will be freaked out, but what a RUSH. I have a fear of falling from great height (and a strange pull to jump) so as long as their are glass walls, it's all good.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I pretty much have to crawl over grates, so I am thinking that is a big fat no for me!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
They have that at the Sears Tower.
What they don't have is a way to zipline from building to building to cross the Loop. Get on that, Rahm.
