Deep Space Homer.America is back! Our astronauts floating in that useless goddamned tin can that uselessly orbits around the Earth forever can finally take off their shitty diapers and use a toilet again. This is because Our Government sent one of its three unexploded space shuttles up to low-earth orbit, at a cost of Many Billions of Dollars, to deliver a new toilet from Home Depot. That’s one small shit for man, and one giant shit for mankind. [AP/Google]

I dunno…the whole damn story is startin’ to smell.

AudicityofHope June 4, 2008 at 2:11 pm

I’m more worried about the flying shit coming out of Terry McAuliffe’s ass/mouth down here on Earth.

loudmouthredhead June 4, 2008 at 2:11 pm

As amusing as floating feces is, I’m sure the astronauts were much happier to return to having them sucked out of their rectums. Hey kids, wanna be an astronaut?

NoWireHangers June 4, 2008 at 2:13 pm

Whitey on the moon, indeed.

MathewBrooks June 4, 2008 at 2:14 pm

Let us all give thanks and shit.

AngryBlakGuy June 4, 2008 at 2:15 pm

…the diaper that they haven’t used yet will be donated to the McCain campaign.

AudicityofHope June 4, 2008 at 2:17 pm

How did Hillary “Full of Shit” Clinton get stuck in the pipes of the space commode?

Sussemilch June 4, 2008 at 2:17 pm

I’m stepping in the guano
And it’s floating in a most peculiar way
And I’m hoping you’ll fix the loo today

Q June 4, 2008 at 2:17 pm

Oh yes [re=6771]loudmouthredhead[/re]! Now there’s a job for JohnnyOnDaSpot Lanny! While certainly Qualified, the man simply will not accept theposition without a Big Fancy Title, and “ShitSucker” ain’t gonna cut it. How about Assistant Secretary of ShitSucking? Lanny Davis, A.S.S.!

CNN.com’s main page calls it, in their infinite mastery of adult English, ‘Space Station Potty gets repairs’

…I feel sorry for any alien that decided to go ANAL PROBING in the past week up there.

ForeignSickSpecialist June 4, 2008 at 2:20 pm

Is the new one reversible, like Lanny Davis’s digestive system?

AngryBlakGuy June 4, 2008 at 2:20 pm

…”Houston, I think I may have just given birth to and alien. Please check my diaper and confirm”

[re=6786]choinski[/re]: CNN is apparently everyone’s seven-year-old brother.

Advocatus_Diaboli June 4, 2008 at 2:23 pm

Great. Now NASA scientists can get back to shitting on science.

AngryBlakGuy June 4, 2008 at 2:23 pm

…all the astronauts have been forced to hold it because most of the diaper have been taken by psycho obsessed astronauts on cross country road trips!

Big Al1317 June 4, 2008 at 2:23 pm

What does it say about the United Corporations of America when we have to use fraking Russian toilet parts to fix the crapper on the space station?

loudmouthredhead June 4, 2008 at 2:24 pm

[re=6786]choinski[/re]: Would you prefer something like…
1. Shiiiiiit iiiiin Spaaaaaaaaace
2. Super Dooper Pooper Scooper
3. Ass-tro Can
4. Alien Turd Burgler
take your pic :)

AudicityofHope June 4, 2008 at 2:24 pm

[re=6788]AudicityofHope[/re]: Damnit, that should be *man* not “Earth”

shortsshortsshorts June 4, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Ya and of course the RUSSIANS fixed it. Soviet bastards.

loudmouthredhead June 4, 2008 at 2:26 pm

In stead of “floaters”, would they be called “orbiters”?

I’m sorry, it’s just been so long since I’ve had an opportunity to make poo jokes. It is to cry!

Serolf Divad June 4, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Anyone know what direction the toilet water flushes in low Earth orbit?

TGY June 4, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Historically, these things are damned important. Also, have you considered the effects of ‘expulsion of reaction mass’ (farting) in zero-G? Let’s just say ‘self-propulsion’ and leave it at that. One presumes the ‘special’ toilet has restraints of some kind, or at least handles.

mookworthjwilson June 4, 2008 at 2:28 pm

The saddest thing though is, even though the crapper is fixed, Barry still can’t find it…

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 4, 2008 at 2:29 pm

Stupid carbon rod. It’s all just a popularity contest!

SayItWithWookies June 4, 2008 at 2:29 pm

Did they try jiggling the handle?

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 4, 2008 at 2:29 pm

Paultardville June 4, 2008 at 2:33 pm

Astronauts are such elitists with their $19 million space toilets. Hillary poops in a wooden outhouse while drinking beer.

shortsshortsshorts June 4, 2008 at 2:35 pm

In Soviet Russia, Toilet flush YOU.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 4, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Actually, the toliet isn’t broken. The Bush political appointees refuse to believe in this science stuff, and simply believe that the astronauts should use an outhouse like they do.

ManchuCandidate June 4, 2008 at 2:39 pm

The space shitter is basically a vacuum that sucks and blows. It sucks out shit/piss/TP from around the astronaut’s uranus and blows the air out of the station through a vent to freeze dry stuff.

For 5/10 million bucks, you’d think that this thing would suck or blow as much as it should.

shortsshortsshorts June 4, 2008 at 2:40 pm

[re=6840]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: I was under the impression the Bush administration used the White House Press Corp. ?

StrangelyBrown June 4, 2008 at 2:40 pm

No money pit orbits the earth forever. Remember Skylab?

Who was it who said “we have to continue to fund the ISS so it’s complete in time for us to dump it in the Pacific”?

Stig O'Hara June 4, 2008 at 2:44 pm

“PIGS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!”….. sorry couldn’t pass up a gratuitous Muppet Show reference. Seemed appropriate.

NotUrEvryDayWEzl June 4, 2008 at 2:46 pm

Is this what John McCain meant when he said the government should be able to deliver water to dehydrated babies, etc?

WadISay June 4, 2008 at 2:49 pm

The ISS exists to perpetuate itself, in which respect it reminds me of The Great Frigging Wheel:

Concave or convex,
It could please either sex,
And beat itself off in between.

weirdiowasculpture June 4, 2008 at 2:53 pm

Couldn’t they just hang their ass out the window like everybody else?

Sean O June 4, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Sniff, for the first time in my adult life, I’m proud to be an American.

Heck, why cant NASA just use the White House press corps?

wallythepug June 4, 2008 at 3:03 pm

Sure hope they took up more than just a plunger, or that was one expensive plumber service call (do they have butt cracks in space?)

capitol-hillbilly June 4, 2008 at 3:05 pm

they never should have let Mark Penn use their commode

SayItWithWookies June 4, 2008 at 3:06 pm

[re=6849]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: That’s just to wipe with.

shortsshortsshorts June 4, 2008 at 3:06 pm

[re=6903]CthuNHu[/re]: They can’t afford it. Didn’t you hear that the new Mars Rover is made out of what they call “recycled materials” a.k.a. WALNUTS’ many sets of artificial hips?

Naked Bunny with a Whip June 4, 2008 at 3:13 pm

Can the astronauts continue using the diapers if they’ve found that they enjoy them?

phew, I am so relieved. Heh. Sorry.

And WHO would want to go up to this Space Station? It is like a 1979 El Camino held together with duct tape.

Q June 4, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Scat…Hillz Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship, Klintonize. Its 8-year mission: to soil strange new worlds, to pee over new dreams and new aspirations, to boldly shit where no dem has shat before!”

Q June 4, 2008 at 4:08 pm

La dee dah. La dah dah dah…..

NebraskashireGentry June 4, 2008 at 4:54 pm

I feel bad for the astronauts because no matter what they accomplish up there (experiments with zero-gravity crystals? wtf?), the only thing they will be asked about upon reentry will be “the toilet situation”.

Doglessliberal June 4, 2008 at 4:55 pm

[re=7141]NebraskashireGentry[/re]: I always like the fruit-fly-mating-in-zero-gravity experiments.

For here
Am I shitting in a tin can
Farts before the turd
Farting in the loo
And making do-do

NebraskashireGentry June 4, 2008 at 7:25 pm

[re=7144]Doglessliberal[/re]: I’m glad they finally proved that, in space, vinegar and baking soda do not a volcano make…that’ll save my children much embarrassment at the lunar colony’s elementary school science fair.
