Wallpaper Wednesday: Space, Bitches, Space.

I have been waiting all season for this week against the Toledo Rockets so I could share my Michigan from Space wallpaper. I think I can see my parents house from here.
As you likely already know, there is a long history of Michigan Astronauts. Yes, I know that despite what the commercial says, not all the crew of Apollo 15 had official Michigan degrees (crew member David Scott left Ann Arbor after one year to attend West Point). It is still a pretty cool story, and yes they all had Michigan connections and eventual degrees.
The original Space, Bitches, Space reference came in 2005 on EDSBS's review of promotional ads. Since that time I have seen it used in many different ways by many different bloggers. As an honor to the original joke, this week only, I created an alternate version of the wallpaper.
Edit: My friend Hamm has requested an additional alternate version with a block M. I found an open wireless connection during lunch, so here you go pal.

Love the alternate but would like to see a block M added to it. Otherwise people who don't know just wouldn't get it.

ps. Put a block M on there and it becomes my new wallpaper replacing the schedule one since it depresses me daily.

No problem Hamm. I am in an all-day mind numbing meeting with no internet access (except my blackberry).

Sadly my blackberry does not run photoshop, so it will get added and posted later tonight.

Great picture. I'd like, just once, for Michigan to take off that mitt and give the state of ohio the finger.

Phil, Phil, Phil, you know Michigan is really the estranged child in denial of Canada. Such an attitude is not good for international relations, eh?

How 'bout a firm handshake?

You know why Michigan doesn't float off into the Great Lakes?












Because Ohio sucks....Haha haha....

Yea looking at that schedule wallpaper everyday was like asking myself who we're going to lose to this week. Therefore I now have Space Bitches to occupy my background.
