As Everclear sing,
(Where do all..) Where do all..
The pornstars go
When the lights go down?
(I wonder where..) I wonder where..
All the pornstars go
Cuz when you need one
They are never around!!
Now I don't know, but after some recent missives from Hamish, I have the feeling that it may well be Prague.
I was thinking about Challenger the other day, speciffically that I had no idea what part it was that failed to cause the explosion. I knew it was something, but I didn't know what.
TV3 rose to the occasion. I was channel surfing around and stumbled onto a documentary designed to tell me what I wanted to know, which was nice. So I watched it, and I must say props to TV3 for hainv a late night documentary, I think it finished just after 2359, and I liked it.
The answer was that it was cold, very cold and some O-rings on the Solid Rocket Boosters failed to expand (as they were to cold) and boom. Game over.
the documentary interviews some engineers involved, and apparently they were fairly confident that the o rings would fail at such low temps, but management overruled them... Suck.
Keeping on the spcae related theme, I went and saw honnorary doctorate on Tuesday. Fourth! What the hell? Anyway he kicked arse, especially for a 92 year old. He even had a laser pointer :) Read about some of his achievements or drive up and down him.
Soccer today: We were the winners. The ref told out opposition that we would be pushovers (this was their first game) BUT WE KICKED THEIR ARSES. Arses of suckness. (12-0) I would like to say it was thanks to my leet goalie styles, but it was not. They only made about two shots anywhere the goal, and although I did stop them, I'm not too excited. Our offesnse however kicked arse. Hurrah. Even I scored a goal after coming out of the goal for the last five minutes. And that soccer fans is never a good sign. I should score a goal ever, so truely sucks to them. Last game for James, so that was nice. (that it was his last game that is) Oh, and spiffy new surface, that is much wider, and longer than the other courts, it like us, rules.
I'll leave you with words of wisdom from therock (sigh)
If it's middle of the road...
RUN IT OVER
Well I laughed.
Ah, no I won't. We went over to Sarah's for games, and when I arrived it was Balderdash time. Amongst the cards I discovered a film that should not be: Crazy Fat Ethel 2, (also known as crimminaly insane 2) with the synopsis:
A mental hospital, faced with a severe decrease in funding, is forced to release mass-murderer Ethel Janowski into a halfway house. Ethel is psychotic, delusional and has a hefty appetite. In fact, her killing spree began 13 years before with the murder of her grandmother, who had forced her to go on a diet. Now that she's tasted the home-cooked fare at the halfway house, she'll do absolutely anything to get more.
As Kastore on imdb writes:
Why is it my video store has this and not the original? Why does stuff like this actually end up in video stores? Why do people rent it and not immediately burn the copy once they've seen its sheer horror? Why - AAUUGGHH - Why, God, why?
Why indeed? Right, that is enough of all this. Except that Sara cooked me dinner after my epic goal socring spree (of one) and she rules.
Thank you and goodnight.
