He was neither dead nor alive, he had a face on his lower torso, and he’s never going to jump again missing a leg. Or procreate again.
I mean, I’m a woman and I’ve got more externally-visible stuff Down There.
@Tat: More proof that SF is prophecy?
Note Brackett wrote the screenplay for the 1946 movie “The Big Sleep”. Am now wondering how many “The Big…” projects she wrote. She did write a lot of “The Long…” things.
@Bruce: Once I saw an annular eclipse. Solar eclipses, of course, can be easily seen with the light and shadow passing through tree leaves. We looked at the ground to see the dark circles surrounded by light and they were dubbed “Cheerios of the Gods”.
@Tat: I’ve seen that sketch too many times to count and I always love it.

– If I’d made a big jump and wound up straddling electric wires like that, I’d probably be neither dead nor alive, too.

Yeah, I know how he feels, but at least I have all my limbs (as well as the other parts).

I don’t know who is piloting that spacecraft suppository delivery system, but he deserves a medal if he survives.

Once that suppository docks, there will be a big jump indeed, followed by a sequel, The Big Dump.

@Tat – Started watching Taggart on BritBox, so this story seems appropriate somehow.

@GSSxn—Good catch on that pareidolia face!
@Tor—Nice background vocals

@Tor: GSS!
@Max: We would also have accepted the thrilling Space Olympics tale, “The Big Long Jump”. But the background vocals wouldn’t have been so catchy,
