The Gayness of the Machine

It sucks! Using a hacksaw for repairs? How would you like to be dangled by a robotic arm 220 miles above the earth's surface? Look, this crappy ass craft was featured in 007's "Moonraker" in 1979 before the first launch: in the movie, we see multiple craft launching from multiple locations, and we get to see Jaws get it on with Pippy Longstocking. The thrill is gone, as is the need. If a NASA device is not in a contemporary movie, then it's time to move the fuck on. That "Deep Impact" featured these cosmological jalopies verifies the utter gayness of the machine: what a wish that movie was for the shittle to be purposeful and agile.

Get new plane, ugh, grunt. Pretend it's 1993 and imagine sending astronauts around the earth in that crappy Forest Gump capsule from the 60s. GET IT? And the worstest bestest part about it is that no one knows what the fuck this current mission is about anyway. Wait, I know, it's about sending a huge foamy Sanford & Son contraption into space so that it can be precariously repaired. THE NATION IS UNITED!

Why not hitch the thing on the back of a 747, like they did in the day, and just cruise around from venue to venue, like two dragon flies flying while fucking.

YAY!, ie., PS: I saw Road Warrior recently and discovered that the villainous hockey masked apocalypticon isn't as muscular as I thought he was. He's just oily and sounds like Randy "The Macho Man" Savage.

I wonder if lazer lord means David Spade the Satruday Night Live years or David Spade the credit card commercial years. If it's the later you should just stop right now.
