Oh my god, why did you people make me google "aspirin between the knees"????? What the everloving fuck???????????????????????
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

I was so curious, Erin! Aspirin between the knees? What could that possibly mean??
It was wrong of me and I'll never do it again.

I feel old. That's not the first time I've heard the aspirin between the knees thing.

Me too. I thought it was a common thing. I'm sorry for anyone hearing the "logic" of that for the first time.
edit: Physicists really need to start studying that strange magnetic force between a woman's legs that is so attractive to a penis that a man is so utterly unable to keep away. It's probably part of the Unified Field Theory. Definitely one of the Strong forces. Probably a Nobel in it for somebody.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hee!
Ita is the smallest body in the Verse to undergo terraforming. As a result, the terraforming efforts have not been successful. Ita has become a test bed for experimental terraforming techniques. In 2470, Ita was chosen as a location for a secondary Alliance orbital drydock facility. However budget restructuring has left the Ita facility as little more than a holding facility and scrapyard. “Towed to Ita” has become a euphemism for permanent impound. While there is a small used spaceship business at Ita, most ships leave Ita in pieces. The scrapyards at Ita’s L4 and L5 positions are havens for small-time salvagers, both legitimate and otherwise.

Now I want to work "towed to ita !" in conversation.
And scientists are now discovering moons in other solar systems. I bet sometime in the next 10-100 years, some Firefly fan will name a real moon ita.
Or ita !

Indeed, and it wasn't funny decades ago either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would kill for that period...
most ships leave Ita in pieces
Don't you know it! I'm a wreck...
Har.
I just bought this for my sister, primarily because my fridge is full. Oh, and because I'm an awesome sister. RADIATING awesome.
