I seem to recall you saying that sort of thing was very intentional. It’s a nice touch, if so.

Let’s raise a glass to weird sexual hangups! Or, as a certain Dr. Furter would say, “A toast!” {ducks several loaves’ worth of flying toast} “To absent friends!”

(Just had to get that in there somewhere.)

I want to say Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Marquis Alphonse de Sade, and/or Sigmund Freud, but it’s probably Alfred Kinsey.

I hear that NASA offers would-be space tourists flights on the infamous “Vomit Comet” so that non-astronauts can get a taste of microgravity…

Of course, if you do get the chance, you wouldn’t mind posting pictures, would you please?

Dave is in that strip? I didn’t notice–I was too busy enjoying the sight of Mell in 0G. -_^

I’m told the correct term is “Gainaxing”. ^_^

As an aside, there’s a great exchange in Robert Heinlein’s _Friday_ where the title character is talking to her (at that point former) employer’s lawyer, who’s on the moon, and Friday expresses disbelief at Ms. Wong’s being a grandmother. Ms. Wong explains that it’s one of the advantages of living in 1/6 G–_nothing_ sags! (Okay, she doesn’t exactly explain it like that, but still, that’s part of the upshot of the conversation…)

And if you ever want to start serious arguments at any SF convention, ask people whether Heinlein was a better writer before or after he became a dirty old man… -_^

Either way, the two of them, if they ever joined forces, would be a force capable of taking over the world.  Or, at least, making a really awesome computer game.
