As good a reason as any, I guess. :D

Now, be honest, who's a little turned on by this? C'mon, I can already tell that the terror alert kink level on this board is at least orange.

Nice 'shop job. (missed putting shadow of tongue across paw though)

That dog could lick its own butt without bending over! Or catch a Frisbee without bothering to get up. :D

I saw that picture in the paper today, and this is something that looks like it would be really cool.

A buddy of mine works at NASA, and he offered the opportunity to participate in some medical tests (as a subject) during weightlessness. I've been wrestling with the idea, but can't decide whether I want to do it.

The only two issues are:
1. I have to take vacation days, both to get qualified to be used as a subject, and to do the series of tests. Working in this great country of ours, vacation days are scarce.

2. Apparently, the vomit factor is very high (meaning, a significant percentage of people who do this toss their cookies). That, in itself is not so bad, except that they don't stop the experiments for that. They go through a multitude of passes, each with multiple bouts of weightlessness, and if you get sick at the beginning, you are in for a very bad ride.

I need to grow some balls, and call him to find out what I need to do.

If you watch Boston Legal, you would see that Bill Shatner is a little more obese than that guy.

And, if that was Bill Shatner, wouldn't his toupee be doing its own weightless dance somewhere else in that cabin?

Uh-huh. Different ones, apparently:



Of course, he didn't always wear one:



And sometimes he just wears a cap:

Next thing we know, you're going to be telling us that Donald Trump is bald.

He's not. Trump wears his hair like that just to confound you. Works, doesn't it? ;)
