take your favorite face and put it on your favorite body.

That’s NOT me, but this is the internet and you have my permission to create a new me ‘cause the real me can’t live up to the Laz man’s expectations.

I’m “just” a girl, if that flies anymore.

Are you suggesting it was a flying girl?

“Model rocket enthusiasts dispute claims rocket had near miss with jet “
11:39 PM CDT on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
By Jeremy Desel / 11 News

HOUSTON —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “While there has been no conclusion, the FAA said it is more than likely the object was a high-powered model rocket.

But Model Rocketeers bristle at the mention that it could have been one of theirs that had the close encounter with the jet.

“It is very unlikely that the motor would still be running at that point. It would just be coasting. It is possible to fly that high. But very unlikely under powered flight,” said model rocketeer John Etgen.

He isn’t alone. Dozens of other model rocket aficionadas have either e-mailed or called to complain that a model rocket could not get close enough to a passenger jet to cause alarm.”
