Still...who was the first dude to figure that out, that it's possible to even do?
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, it's an inventive way of using a lever. I can kinda see it. Weird what sticks as a sport though, isn't it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got about four hours of sleep last night. I was ready to go to sleep last night around 9:00, but then I got a call from work saying that a server had crashed. I fixed it, but then I was too wired to go to sleep.
I'm at work now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is sucky Tom. I also got 4 hours, but at least I can pretend I might still get more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, you guys! I recommend more than 4 hours of sleep.
What I want to know, though, is who first thought this up?
I feel the same way about the butterfly stroke in swimming.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I got 5 hours plus a wee bit of snoozing. Still not near enough.

I spent 2:20-4:30 in bed with a 2 year old who wouldn't fall asleep. He would be almost asleep (and me too), then would shift and press his sweaty face into mine. Every 10-15 minutes, for two hours.
The butterfly still completely boggles me. I can't imagine how it works; I can't imagine doing it.

“Not dead yet!”
Back in the 70s there was a show called Superstars where athletes from different sports competed against each other
Oh man, hadn't thought of that show in FOREVER.
And I'm definitely

I can't imagine how it works; I can't imagine doing it.
It's totally fun, and once you get it down it's easily the most natural feeling stroke - like you're really working with the water rather than fighting it.

That sounds unfun. I didn't sleep much, either-- I was up far to late chatting with a very old friend on Facebook, and then couldn't sleep, and then spent from about 4 am - 5:30 with a cat butt on my face and hind legs trying to choke me. I can't understand why she won't lay the other way around!
