2007: A Space Oddity

What runaway bride? John Bobbitt who?

The NASA love triangle story is so weird and salacious it puts previous tabloid classics to shame.

You've got astronauts, pellet guns, mallets and diapers.

Desperate Housewives, eat your hearts out.

Who needs fiction when real news is this wacky?

Lifetime probably already has a movie in production.

I won't Nifong myself by jumping to conclusions about this case-- but man, the diaper thing has me rolling on the floor!

Just be glad she didn't flip out while on a NASA mission in outer space...now THAT would be a movie opportunity!!

Skeet Club Savage said:

Let's face it. We're all fated to once again, one day, to head down the road with a diaper on. It's the great circle of life. One can only hope that's it's later rather than sooner as in this case.

Has anybody looked into cosmic rays causing something like this?

Allen Johnson said:

That would be the plot line in the Scifi Channel's movie version.

Pam said:

This has to be Terry Grier's fault. It's the only explanation!

Skeet Club Savage said:

Actually Pam, and thanks for bringing this up, this case relates to Dr. Grier in that it provides a vindication for Dr. Grier of sorts, in the sense that, in the case of the astronaut, psych-screening procedures failed to disclose any indication that something like this would happen as compared to Dr. Grier's case where the schoolboard had people from other districts standing on their rooftops waving gigantic red flags re; hiring him and the evidence was clear that he left a trail of chaos at six previous school districts and they chose to ignore it anyway, thus showing that psych screening is a waste of time unless it is also performed on the boardmembers.

Anybody know where's the cheapest place to get Pampers?

Allen Johnson said:

It was only a matter of time ...

Savage Corleone said:

Allen, just when I think I'm out...they pull me back in.

Jim Langer said:

Wait, silence! we must not speculate into the guilt or oddity of any of these fine alleged looney astronuts....I mean nauts....naught, nada! Stop now. Allow them to quietly deal with this on their own.

If NASA no longer wants her she would be a perfect fit on the GSO City Council.

The recent passing of Anna Nicole Smith leaves a significant power vacum on the list of people in the limelight who are famous for essentially...being famous.

#1-Keeping the top spot-Paris Hilton
#2 Although taking advantage of other people's misfortune would be uncharacteristic for him, nonetheless-moving up to take Anna Nicole's spot-John Edwards.
#3 Moving into #3 Nicole Richie
#4 and coming on strong (although he plays a pretty decent piano)- The Triad's very own-David Hoggard.
#5 Carmen Electra
