'Ground control to jealous mom ...'

[Squawk 8888]

Sung to the tune of Space Oddity (1969) by David Bowie

Ground control to jealous mom Ground control to jealous mom Take your wig and coat and put your diaper on

Ground control to jealous mom Commencing car trip, engines on Check steel mallet and take latex gloves with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, Four, three, two, one ... cat fight!

This is ground control to jealous mom You've really pepper sprayed And there's not enough space love for you to share Now it's time to face the courtroom if you dare

This is jealous mom to ground control I'm finding fame a bore And my lawyers only care about their pay And William Oefelein still won't come out to play

For here am I sitting in my jail cell an astronaut in chains Time to say adieu to my former NASA crew

Though I'll sit through many days of trial I feel like I could kill Any bimbo scientist who'd steal my beau Even engineers have feelings don't you know

Ground control to jealous mom No tabloids called, there's something wrong Can you hear me, jealous mom? Can you hear me, jealous mom? Can you hear me, jealous mom? Can you....

Is NASA such a meaningless enterprise, that we need to put up with this kind of horse$###. PC and the worship of diversity puts at risk every major undertaking of our government and our business world.

The media seems to gloss over the contents of her "bag". Of what possible use could a knife, a steel mallet, and large garbage bags be, except to dismember and then transport pieces of the intended victim?

This is what happens if paint a target on your back.

Amazing that she got as far as she did in the rigors of military life.

Hey... there must be an opening in the NASA program! ; )

I dunno, I can picture the song as more "Country Western".

Something along the lines of:

Well Ah'm puttin' on mah 'dult diaper,

An' A'hm drivin' cross the country,

Where Ah'll beat his hootchie luver with a rubber hose...

[wideawake]

This is pure genius. It needs to be recorded, paired with footage and put on youtube.

[Kevmo]

This one looks suitable for your not-a-ping list

[Slings and Arrows]

This one looks suitable for your not-a-ping list

Yes indeed.

[The SISU kid]

Ironic, I played that tune on the jukebox last night when this item came on the nightly news.....

[wontbeoutfoxed]

[gcruse]

Do I love ya? Honey, I'd diaper you.
But I didn't say I'd drive you to Florida. What I said was, "I'ma goin' to tampuh with you."

[rabidralph]

Bravo!

[xJones]

I got friends in crawl spaces...

[MikeD]

Ping for later -- I've got to try to record a version of this...

[doug from upland]
