We have all heard these before (or at least I have) but it is a fun read.

Some things are missing though - the crew cake that nobody actually eats before launch, all the astronauts touching their mission patch above the door as they exit the (oh why is the name of the building slipping my brain) as they board the astrovan, and the lift-off beans in Mission Control.

There are probably more... list them here if you know them. I think there is something about the beach house but I forget. Grrr... too many things on my brain this morning.
