Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 06, 2012

One of the FA fans will help you out, I’m sure!

I’ve been trying to find more information on the “Remains” picture. It doesn’t match accounts of Komarov’s death, some of which which state that he was cremated before the services and some of which state that nothing large was found. And I just can’t imagine an open-casket service for any badly-burned pilot. There is a book called “Starman,” allegedly about Komarov’s Soyuz 1 flight, but it’s been debunked for various reasons.

As a minor point, Komarov was not the first man to make a second flight into space. That was Gus Grissom (Liberty Bell 7, July 1961; Gemini 3, March 1965). (If you mean two orbital flights, Gordon Cooper made his first orbital flight aboard Faith 7 in May 1963 and his second aboard Gemini 5 in August 1965.)

Johnny, just tell her to quit stalling and pony up.

Come on Johnny, we’ve all seen her prancing around the saddling enclosure. Now’s the time to get on track. We know you can go the distance.

Golly gosh, all you folks are assuming it’s a pony girl! Just because of the high heels and stockings? And because we don’t see any boy bits doesn’t mean they’re not there. Anyway, she/he seems to be in search of greener pastures than what FA has to offer….

High tail it outta there!

Go to the circus.

Just don’t make an ass of yourself!!!

If one wants it bad enough, one can always find a place to horse around.

do those eggs have nylons in ’em?

More on the “Remains” picture:

The RIA Novosti site, visualrian.ru, has numerous pictures of Komarov’s funeral, yet despite the pictures Novosti attribution it doesn’t appear on this site. Kaminin’s diaries on the astronautix.com site claim that what was left of Komarov’s body was cremated immediately after the autopsy, making it even less likely that the picture is genuine (and frankly, it would take a strong stomach to stand in the presence of a reshly-charred cadaver).

The “Starman” book is said to depend heavily on Russayev’s testimony. However no one is quite certain who he is; there’s no evidence that he worked for the KGB or that he was a friend of Yuri Gagarin. Also, people who knew Komarov dispute the claim that he was screaming and cursing as the Soyuz crashed.

The Russians have released some other grim and genuine pictures of space disasters (the Soyuz 11 accident and a massive launch-pad fire) but I don’t recall seeing this one.

Hmmm, I’ve always wanted to be in stable relationship.

nice shoes…

you cant miss with little girls and flowers.

The mane thing is to pony up to the bar and join the other neighsayers with no where to horse around, and explain to the bartender why you have a long face . . . . . ☻

Wow, a potential harvest of 4 table lamps.

Is that Samantha Brick indulging in Ponyplay?

“FLOWERS” always…make me…sneeze…“achoo!!!!”

Brings to mind the song “Get Up on Your High Horse, Woman” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.(one of my favorites from them)
