Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom couldn't resist the urge to take a pocket full of space history home to the kiddies. Grissom boarded his space capsule in 1961 with pockets stuffed full of soon-to-be collectors items: two rolls of fifty dimes, some small models of the capsule, and two sets of pilot's wings.
According to Wolfe's controversial account, a panicking Grissom "screwed the pooch" while reaching for memorabilia that had fallen to the capsule floor. He accidentally blew the spacecraft's hatch, flooding the capsule and nearly sinking him with it. In NASA's (and ultimately Grissom's) official account, the hatch blew for no reason at all, an electrical fluke. But even in this version, Grissom expressed regret about all those shameful trinkets, saying their weight nearly drowned him as he awaited rescue.
How will Lance "screw the pooch", in this year's Tour?

Don't blame Grissom, although the trinkets were not a great call (although by no means uncommon, despite the fact that he was the first to carry some trinkets - do a bit of resarch on Apollo 15). Anyone who hit the plunger to blow the explosive hatch ended up with a bruise on their hand from doing it.
Hot, Sure she was 15 years ago, but have you ever seen her up close? Notice the camera never gets close. 1/2 inch thick makeup like old Queen Victoria to smooth out the wrinkles, Did you know She's a Grandma? and already has had two face lifts? She must be paying Lance for his riding skills. "screw the pooch"? Which one is the pooch?

I don't think Sheryl is such a pooch. Sure she's a bit older, but she's still hot.
