Man, I was having a crummy morning, until I got to work and read this.
An astronaut love triangle. See, this is why science fiction books are never that cool, because it totally ignores the thousands of astronaut/robot/alien love triangles involving mace, a BB pistol, a tan trench coat, a new steel mallet, a new folding knife with a 4-inch blade, 3 to 4 feet of rubber tubing, large plastic garbage bags and about $600 in cash.
Damn. That sounds like a night in Vegas.
But what did it for me was the picture:
Yes, our brave astronauts. Go Nasa!

Throw in a vulcan, a clingon, a wookie, and an ewok and you got some serious space rabble going on here.
Does she look like Leigha?

OMG, DIAPERS!!!

I’m never going to space, I’m never going to space, I’m never going to space, I’m never going,,,,,,,,,

That’s a bad case of wig head.

I’d still be scared of her. That look says, “You think this will stop me?”

The picture … She keeps staring at me.
Her eyes follow me from the screen.
I’m going to have to go to dilbert.com until you post something else.

AT,
how could you NOT mention the DIAPER????

That just strengthens my idea about something crazy going on up there. You know they never really fully come back to “earth”. Crazy aliens.

As others have said, how can you not mention the diapers that were to “eliminate stops along the way”.
I am laughing out loud at the mental picture of it all!
Thanks for the link!

Why do you think they call it Astroglide?

Apparently astronauts routinely wear diapers upon take off and re-entry.
But still…..
Eeewww!

One of the funniest/weirdest reads in a long time. Science and love and shuttles and mace and diapers.
Oh my.

Delurking to say: Homegirl has the brains to fly to the moon and she can’t execute a kidnapping? Pshaw…my tax dollars have been severely misused…damn astronauts. They kill the wettest of cosmic dreams!

Update: a judge has released her on $10k bond. Hmmm… she looks scarier than that to me — I’m not sure 10 times that would have been enough!

It goes to show that the best stuff is never made up. And NASA is getting more funding in 2008? I guess what happens in Houston stays in Houston — except for this time. They let this one slip.

I wonder how much an adult diaper can hold?

“I wonder how much an adult diaper can hold?”
Uh, probably, uh, one adult. ;)

Read somewhere she was estranged from her husband. Prolly goes to the Dr. and ends up with a scrip for prozac or lexapop or some other floxin. Stops taking it, goes into W/D. Suddenly the world is her oyster.
