Are we done? That depends ... are you capable of stopping?

You should know that I’m a dude.

Oh man, I should have adjusted it to reflect the fact that in Zero-G, the hot dog stand wouldn’t fall down any stairs, and there wouldn’t be stairs in the first place. What a dumbass. Fire away, commentariat, I deserve it!
