1. Grrrrrrrrrr!

My neck still hurts from looking up in the sky.

[rug]

2. I lost ten bucks in the pool. My pick was Brazil.

[Swede]

3. I'm just glad it wasn't Austria.

:shrug:

[petronius]

4. Did they ever give it back, by the way?

If not, it isn't too late to bomb the snot out of those thieving Aussies...

[UrbScotty]

8. Do they have oil? (nt)

[gratuitous]

5. The Pacific Northwest had a plan in case Skylab hit here

It was called "Oregon Ducks."

11. *groan*

[InvisibleTouch]

6. That was what, in 1980? n/t

7. 1979. An outrage is an outrage!

9. I can't read or hear the name without thinking about Belushi's skit on SNL's news show.

"They don't know where it's doing to land!"

[lunatica]

10. I'm still pissed off that it fell at all

Fucking lousy engineering if you ask me

[old mark]

12. I didn't care then, and I don't care now...they made it into a tavern, IIRC

:beer:

13. Poor Skippy

If he'd only made one more hop, it would have missed him.

[whistler162]

14. Why it dropped where I pointed it to?

15. One of my favorite shows ever was "Dead Like Me" in which the main character was killed...

...by the flaming toilet seat falling from some sort of Skylab.

Among those in the afterlife, her nickname was "Toilet Girl".

THAT would still have ME pissed off.
