(Although I did lose a stuffed dog once, many years ago, and mom told me he'd gone to the moon whenever he disappeared like that. Maybe he really DID go to the moon!)<BR/><BR/>"Part of her responsibilities were to assure compliance with credit card rules and policies established by NASA's procurement office..." Bwahahahahahahahaha!!! I'd like to know what time period that took place over.

Ranier, doing something that you really want to experience, AND THAT IS RISKY BEHAVIOR the last fucking thing I would want to do is drink or get high for that experience. <BR/><BR/>The last thing I want to do is dull the thrill. And the last thing I want to do is fuck things up in front of 4B people.<BR/><BR/>If you're an addrenalin addict, if you like adventure and like thrills and excitement, those personalities will tell you THEY DON'T GET HIGH BEFORE.<BR/><BR/>Anyone will tell you getting high dulls everything.<BR/><BR/>Now, getting drunk the night before, or the night after, is understandable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-70282963908866134092007-07-28T23:26:00.000-05:002007-07-28T23:26:00.000-05:00Thanks Stink.Given the fact that they can launch a...Thanks Stink.<BR/><BR/>Given the fact that they can launch and land a shuttle without ANYONE aboard, drunk or sober, why NOT get wasted?<BR/><BR/>As long as you are strapped in and don't touch anything, what difference could it make?<BR/><BR/>The occasional heartfelt "YEE HAW!" can only add a a bit of color to an otherwise dry, engineerish experience.Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-16802886518661874752007-07-28T22:23:00.000-05:002007-07-28T22:23:00.000-05:00I made it this far (even without a pogo stick),Hel...I made it this far (even without a pogo stick),<BR/><BR/>Hell I can't even fly coach without getting popped first. You wouldn't get me on a shuttle with anything less than a couple of martinis.<BR/><BR/>I understand they have bongs installed on the launch pads now too. That might help somewhat as well.Trelvixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687813532564473260noreply@blogger.com
