KDP, no, they'd be Space Cadets.
Boyo, most of the other titles are also in that vein. I can just imagine the breathless young thing telling her career counselor that she want's to be a Governor's Girl. And how they managed to name one "Linda's Champion Cocker" with a straight face, I don't know.

You all made me think about the difficulty of sex in zero gravity considering newtons third law. That any action results in an equal and opposite reaction (unless acted on by friction or gravity).
Ok .. now I'm thinking about elastic sex harnesses :red:

'elastic sex harnesses' reminds me of something i heard once-
you can't trip the light fantastic while wearing cheap elastic!

Well I tried to google the phrase, and it brought me right back here, to a comment that patty made on one of Chuck's posts back in October. 🐛

I also found this rhyme recorded by American antrhopologist Dorothy Howard in Brisbane, Australia in 1954;
"Dainty and fleet, the maiden sweet
Was doing her light fantastic.
When she suddenly tore to the dressing room door,
You can never trust elastic."
Child's play: Dorothy Howard and the folklore of Australian children
by Kate Darian-Smith and June Factor
But it's even older than that, Google Books has various versions going back to 1944 (where it ends "you can't trust this wartime elastic") and to a 1925 edition of the Sheet Metal Workers' Journal where it appears as a comic aside.
