OMFG The space station is full of

[malaise]

$hit. The Toilets are blocked. Word is that they need that lady astronaut's Depends or some Vitters. :rofl: How is this breaking news?

[NightWatcher]

1. it'd be a big story to me, if I were floating through space surrounded by my own pooh

but yes, I did love the "breaking" banner on msnbc

[LSparkle]

4. Loved that banner ... "Toilet clogged! Alert the media!"

Nobody will want to take a spacewalk after this if they
just open the hatch and let all that s***t out into the
atmosphere ... Can you imagine trying to repair something
on the Space Station, only to be hit by a suspended TURD?
YIKES!

[NickB79]

16. That turd would hit like an artillery shell

Imagine a log frozen solid in the -250F vacuum, and orbiting the Earth at 20,000 miles per hour.

"Breaking News: Space Station Shot Down By Frozen Piece of Sh!t!!!"

[LSparkle]

5. OMG, I didn't think of that angle ... how are they s****ing????

Are they using barf bags? If so, how? OMG, the
visuals are REALLY awful for those poor people up
there. And aren't we no longer in a position to
send up shuttles to bring them back? (I thought
I'd heard that for the next few years, we're going
to have to rely on Russia to send astronauts to and
from the ISS.)

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

2. It's broken, ain't it???

Duh.

:evilgrin:

[no_hypocrisy]

3. "Houston, we have a problem . . . . "

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

7. Flushing, we have a problem

calling the new NASA HEAD (Human Excrement Assistance Desk) in Flushing, NY

[malaise]

8. From this distance I have to say

This is some fall down funny shit. :rofl:

[liberal N proud]

6. How much did NASA pay for the plunger that will be needed to clean this mess up?

[YOY]

9. The Pee in "Zero Gee" is something to see...

The poo is pretty spectacular too...

Childish, but it made me giggle...and it rolls off the tongue.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

10. You have poo on your tongue?

Glad to know it rolled off okay.

[madokie]

11. One would think that they would have a backup for something as vital

as a crapper is, huh

I sure won't envy those astronauts anymore

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. a backup, huh?

lol

[annabanana]

24. delete

[progressoid]

12. Open the pod bay doors, HAL

Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Dave Bowman: What's the problem?

HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?

HAL: I think someone forgot the proper flushing proceedures Dave.

[wtmusic]

14. Hopefully diarrhea isn't part of the picture

or it could get very uncomfortable...:scared:

[malaise]

17. LOL

:rofl:

[texas1928]

15. That shit is MOVING!!!!

Thanks to the Bush white house. We now have crap in space.

[madokie]

18. yes, crap o'la our heads

[KharmaTrain]

19. Reminds Me Of This Donovan Goodie...

I was impressed like everyone,
When man began to fly,
Out of earthly regions,
To planets in the sky.
With total media coverage,
We watched the heros land,
As ceremoniously
They disturbed the cosmic sand.

In awe with admiration,
We listened to the talk.
Such pride felt they,
Such joy to be
Upon the moon to walk.
My romantic vision shattered,
When it was explained to me,
Spacemen wear old diapers
In which they shit and pee.

Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shitting is your problem,
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars.

They don't partake like you and I,
Of beefy burger mush.
Their food is specially prepared
To dissolve into slush.
Absorbed by multi-fibers
In the super diaper suit,
Otherwise the slush would trickle
Down inside the boot.

Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars.

You may well ask now what becomes
Of liquid they consume.
A pipe is led from penis head
To a unit in the room.
The water is recirculated,
Filtered for re-use.
In case of anti-gravity -
Pee gets on the loose.

Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars.

Wherever man has conquered,
On the quest for frontiers new,
(Da da da da)
I'm glad that he's always had to do
The number one and two.
It makes it all so ordinary,
Just like you and me,
To know the greatest heroes,
They had to shit and pee.

The intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to there,
For cosmic constipation
There's none that can compare.
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
The intergalactic laxative,
The intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to Mars.

:rofl:

OTOH...last year I was stuck on a flight from California to Chicago...both terlets exploded...to say the flight was bumpy was an understatement...as well as the smell. Now I know why I sooooooo love American Airlines...

:rofl:

[malaise]

22. Too good

:rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

20. Captain's Log Stardate 52708

Dammit Scotty!!

[hokies4ever]

21. MSNBC was playing it up as if it was the biggest news story of the day

When they said that they had some NASA news, I thought for sure that it would be more photos from Mars. Boy was I mistaken. :rofl:

[malaise]

23. I hope they're no photos of this

:D

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

26. pulled it right out of

their ass

[annabanana]

25. This is actually a pretty big problem, considering

what kind of a commute the plumber has. I hope they can make some accomodations to keep this from getting actually dangerous...
