In case you were wondering, Matt Bickford is the one who came the closest to qualifying for the Zero G Giveaway – and so he’ll be flying in pseudo zero gravity soon enough!

He decided to write a parody to the tune of America’s “Ventura Highway.”

Won the Zero G flight
On geeks.pirillo.com
Gonna take me a flight on G-Force-One
Some people call it the vomit comit, I know
I don’t care, still gonna go

There’ll be dramamine in this system of mine
When I eat my lunch
It’s my preference to hold on to mine
Don’t wanna see chunks float

Parabolas in the sky we’ll share
Someone’s bound to hurl up there
I hope Zero G don’t mess up my hair
A plane of geeks up in the air, in the air

I’m a geek .. I’m a geek .. oh yeah (repeated)

Parabolas in the sky we’ll share
Someone’s bound to hurl up there
I hope Zero G don’t mess up my hair
A plane of geeks up in the air, in the air
