    I actually want to see it in the theater when it comes out in 3D this year. I have never actually seen the movie all the way through, (only bits and pieces) but I know it contains two plot things I love, in abundance.
    1) Fighter Planes
    2) Gaaaaaaaaay

    Correct, you are not decaying in the ground yet.

  • Top Gun - live action American Yaoi.

    *PS, nobody killed Goose. It was a tragic accident caused by jet wakes.

  • And faulty ejector seat/cockpit hood release mechanisms.
  • A confluence of circumstances, even!
  • And who's jet wake started those dominoes falling?
  • Goose dies because of Maverick's impatience and willful ignorance of his safety procedures. Furthermore, his hubris in his piloting skills led him to maneuver the aircraft into a situation that was extremely dangerous. This, compounded by a mechanical failure of the ejector seat, lead to Goose's death. While Maverick was eventually found not-guilty in the incident, he (and the audience) knows that Maverick's titular behavior was truly the root of problem and eventually leads to the catharsis when Maverick comes to terms and overcomes his issues through the finale dogfight.
  • I am more tan now than I have ever been in my life.

    I actually started going to a tanning bed. Not for the look, but because I've been pretty depressed, and I thought that being hit with the UV rays would cheer me up. They do. It's actually very nice and comfortable in the tanning bed. Also, I have a chronic rash on my thigh that somewhat bakes out if exposed to UV, so I've been going for that too. Mostly, I've only been going when the weather has been dark, gllomy, and overcast. We've had so many of those days, however, that I'm beginning to look like I've been dipped in bronze.

    I'm down to 195 lbs. At the beginning of 2011, I weighed 245 lbs. Some of that was lost due to exercise in a gym, but most was lost during the holiday season on 2011, when I was so depressed that I would go for days without eating.

    Also, I have a date. Thanks be to you, Mr. WindUpBird, for the suggestion of OKCupid. OkCupid has turned out to be the best site out there. I actually have a date this Saturday with a lawyer in Louisville, KY. We're going to have a light lunch and walk around the Louisville Dog Show. I'll have my dog with me, and she wants to get a dog, so we'll have lots to talk about.

    I'm beginning to become a little nervous. This will be my first date "first date" in a little more than fifteen years. I've actually bought new clothes and stuff (black turtleneck, khaki Levis, brown and black houndstooth blazer, and Bass saddlebuck oxfords - what do you think?). She actually went to Harvard and NYU and has published many journal articles. I am a little intimidated, not because she's a smart woman (I reall, really like smart women), but because she is SO smart. I'm worrying that she is way out of my league. She's a little youger than me, but doesn't have kids, and I don't think she's been married beofre. It sounds like she's been going to school and working hard at her career for most of her life.

    So, here's a question: Should I bring something like flowers? I don't think so, because then she'd have to walk around the show for the rest of the day carrying flowers. Is there anything else that would be appropriate and not creepy?
  • Get her a business card-sized print-out of flowers then?
  • You could take a non-compete contract to have her sign. #lawyerjoke

    That's the one reason I debated going for more sessions after I snagged a one-free-session coupon for a tanning bed. I don't care that much about being tan, I just turned the bed down super low, and it cheered me up when I was feeling shitty in the English winter, where I already have enough trouble keeping an upbeat attitude with the pointless English sun. Warm, plesant, comfortable, quiet, and I get to amuse myself by predicting how Scott will phrase what he has to say about how UV beds are essentially putting a loaded gun to your head and pulling the trigger.

    I was just about to post about how you might as well just take a vacation to Chernobyl. Then I noticed your prediction. Good job Nostradamus.

    It really is. I have been very surprised at how pleasant tanning beds are.

    The only problem is that if you use them too much, you'll end up looking too tanned.

    Also melanoma. And the fact that they are crawling with bacteria and viruses unless religiously cleaned by staffers.

    I would recommend getting a Daylight Simulator for your home and office to combat the winter blues and just spray tanning if you really want to look tan.

  • just spray tanning if you really want to look tan like an Oompa-Loompa.

    Citation? I'm just curious. I figure the constant UV bombardment would kill those suckers dead.

    Shit just got Pubmed. And also on your tanning beds.

    Well I'll be damned. I'll add "tanning salon" to my list of "shit to avoid at all costs."

    EDIT: Will these practices lead to UV-resistant bugs? MRSA THAT CAN LIVE ON THE SUN?

    They also fall in that Venn overlap between "Shit to avoid at all costs," and, "Places filled with literal shit." The ocean and mushroom farms are examples of the latter that aren't so bad.

    Tanning beds don't emit germicidal UVC, so we're still covered.

  • I guess that does make sense. If you sat in a UV bed capable of disinfecting lab surfaces, you'd probably get cancer, like, tomorrow.
  • Meh. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by all kinds of shit shat out by all kinds of different species, so I have lots of natural resistances built up - but I'll probably stop going anyway, seeing as now I'm all paranoid.

    Next time I find something I enjoy, I'm not telling anyone. Maybe then I'll be able to enjoy myself without learning how dangerous my new enjoyment can be.

    I think UVC exposure instantly burns flesh, and not just a typical sunburn, but an apoptosis-inducing blast of radiation that causes your skin to blister weirdly and die over several days.

    The real sun has ceased hibernation and is back on the job. Just go outside.
