Dave, for what it's worth, I remember "face"

Anonymous

Dave I got you beat on worst gift ever. For my husbands 18th birthday his dad gave him a backscratcher that he got at the airport that morning. He also gave my husbands sister a metal detector for her 16th birthday. She was not into metal detecting

Maddow performatively crying when Trump was elected was then - and definitely now - one of the most annoyingly self-indulging things I've ever seen. Girl, you're going to be just fine, and you don't know anyone who won't be. It's unseemly to pretend to be everyone's emotional avatar when that is your station in life. Also, you guys did an episode on JPL (jet propulsion lab)'s founder, a guy who was into the occult and fucking both his mom and dog on home-movie (allegedly). He was a "space guy", and should qualify for "crazy Dollop stories about space".

Coming here to mention the JPL dude who’s wife was stolen by the Scientology dude during their ritualistic sex magic performances. He blew himself up if I remember correctly. I don’t think gets much crazier.

That one of the most fundamental parts of NASA - and rocket flight in general - was basically founded, to a large degree, by someone of Aleister Crowley's level of drug use and earnest adventures with "magic" was already bonkers, but the mom and dog movies was a piece de resistance that probably can't be topped in Dollop stories. The guy who called his own death by lightning has a Paul Thomas Andersson/Darren Aronofsky poetry to it, but as a story that progressively builds on itself, JPL is one of Dollop's finest. ...it's just very difficult to top "..and after all that shenanigans, he died very suddenly, and his mom immediately commited suicide when she heard her son was dead, and her dog was very protective about law enforcement going up to the attic, where they later found mom/son/dog-incest/bestiality home movies". I generally dislike that kind of "true-crime-nasty-details", but taking the story as a whole, it basically ends up reading like camp in its level of excess.

That ‘silo’ thing is a series of fiction books that start will ‘wool’. Absolutely fucking amazing books

PS I’ve never seen an Outback Steakhouse in Australia. Kinda like those pubs in London which are themed as Aussie but only exist there.

I feel like the astronaut diaper lady (surely we all remember 2007) had strong Dollop energy. Also: Gareth's hair flew in from the 90s, and the ladies are loving it.

What is Dave drinking?! Is it a beer or an energy drink?!

Anne Momany

Omg I'm famous! Dave gets my name right a lot of the time! In case anyone is curious, it's pronounced Mom uh nee. Emphasis on the first syllable. It's French and used to be way longer. I gave up with an easy to pronounce last name when married into this one.

I remember "face" haha. Also, Gareth, if you need your Garmy to take care of a stalker for you, just put up the bat signal. I think we're all in agreement that anyone causing our dollop boys anxiety or discomfort or upset, would swiftly be met with some serious shit. *Cracks knuckles*

There’s the Nazi rocket guy who got NASA to space (I’m bad with names)

Ash-Lee

There was one in Coffs Harbour and I believe a few in QLD

Werner von Braun - check out the song by Tom Lehrer about him. “Once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That’s not my department, says Werner von Braun.”

Anne Momany

I came back because I remembered the question was about it being a cool rhyming name and sadly it's not, although sometimes my husband calls me Annie Mo-many and when the kids were little and we had edamame with dinner he'd tell them to eat their AnneMomanys so that's fun 😀

A good space Dollop or Smollop is the astronaut Lisa Nowak whose ex boyfriend, another astronaut, was dating a new woman. The jealous Nowak drove 900 miles from Houston to Orlando with the intention of kidnapping and murdering the new girlfriend. She was unsuccessful but was later charged with the attempted crimes. During the drive, she carried or wore a trench coat, black wig, pepper spray, a BB gun, rope, trash bags, an 8-inch knife and other items. Some of those other items happened to be used space diapers she had worn. The same ones NASA labels “Maximum Absorption Garments” which astronauts wear in their space suits in case they need to relieve themselves during a spacewalks.

I’m the type of person who thinks everything bad that’s happened they did so the entire time Gareth is talking about being stalked I’m going “Have I stalked Gareth? Surely not. I don’t think so. Probably definitely not. No. I’ve never even been to California.” Fun times in my head.
