ISS toilet fails to suck

got to say it...

There's a comment just waiting to be made about "captain's log", but I won't sink to that level. That would just be taking the p****...besides, am I the right man for the job...

etc., etc. etc.

Piss poor performance

Title say it all.

How do you explain to ET that she has to use a napkin to go to the toilet in and then when she lands on earth, at the Presidental lunch, napkins are placed by the plates, all the humans then place them on their laps,so ET does the same and then the smell drifts down the table eminating from ET....have you ever smelt ET urine ? Makes French loos smell nice.

I can just imagine when they send someone to fix it...

<sucks air through teeth> Oh, sorry guv, need a special part for that - don't have it in me spaceship. I'll have to nip back to the depot for it. back in a month, alright?

...ASU lacked suction.

Surely, the fix is simple. Just run a hose from the bog to the outerspace et voila!

Mine is the orangeglo one with Dynarod written on the back

Please use the one...

...in the Soyuz, into which we shall not pass solid's.....

The one next to the incontinence pants.

I guess...

...the next trip will sport a plumber among the crew then?

Well

It's not exactly your "bog"-standard ablution facility, now is it?

heralded by a loud noise III

PARPPPPPPP!!!!!

ooer, should have saved that one until I got home...

"loud noise"

I have to wonder if the astronauts have been experimenting with novel forms of bodily propulsion. By forcefully emitting gas from the bottom area, a spaceman could manoeuvre himself around the inside of the space station, without having to use his arms. It's an intriguing thought.

And I thought a plumber was expensive here on earth

Can you imagine the bill from the plumber to fix this one? It costs me over 80 bucks just to have one walk in the door at my house.

Lets see: trip charge, plus materials, plus time (overtime too), plus the trip to go back to get the missing parts (@Roy LOL). Cha-ching!!! Oh and add standing around time on the clock since by the time they get there they'll be late for four cigarette breaks.

"Go" because that is what they can't do on the ISS.

Just goes to prove that rocket science is a piece of piss

compared to rocket engineering

Or as Lord Blackadder II in olden times said...

"...the master craftsman who created this home/said to himself, "Romeo, let's make them functional, and comfortable."....what we're talking about in, erm, privy terms is the very latest in front-wall, fresh air orifices, combined with a wide-capacity gutter installation below."

Mrs. Pants: "You meane, you crappe out thay windowe."

Black Helicopter - there wasn't an Adder to choose. And it would probably be Lord B. Vehicle of choice...

Brings a whole new meaning...

... to the word 'floater'.

If they...

Can't fix this, then their really gonna be in the sh1t.

Mines the one with the diving helmet attached.

That really sucks !

even if it doesn't.

cross legged

That spam-can in space must smell pretty dodgy... a mixture of deodoriser and various bodily motions. Gawd! I thought boat loos smelled bad, that must be really awfull.

Paris coz she's fragrant all the time

"heralded by a 'loud noise'" IV

But I thought in space, no-one could hear you pee.

Daddy, I gotta GO!

I can't hold it anymore! How much further? How much longer? Are we there yet? Can we stop NOW!?

Paris-when ya gotta go, you know?

let's just hope

They don't switch from suck to blow!

May the shwartz be with you.

Re: Or...

"... you could just have said plain and simple that "The s... hits the fan" :-)"

Well, no... The problem is that the shit's NOT hitting the fan, and they WANT it to. ;-)

Captains Log...

Just aim at that blackish holeish thing over there - like a dyson, they always suck (other sucky vacuums are available). I wonder if this means the European ATV will truly become a 'dumping' ground before being sent to burn up in the atmosphere.

There's never a...

Polish Astronaut when you need one..

Mine is the one with the built in port-a-potty....

To Boldly Go...

Surprised it took this long, really. Mine's the dirty mac.

First legitimate use of another Star Trek phrase?

"But Cap'n, I dinna think she can take it..."

"I don't care, Scotty, give it all you've got"

I wonder

Would this problem have anything to do with... Space Kimchi?

That stuff (the Earthside version at least) can be BRUTAL!

Flame icon because... of the well known after effects!

"The s... hits the fan" :-)

I sincerely hope not! This is zero gravity we are talking about.

Oh! I see you have redecorated the cabin. Interesting colour, brown.

Picto: Plumber thinking what this call out is worth.

Re Piss Poor Performance

To avoid those unfortunate misunderstandings , perhaps you should call those things on the table for spilling your food on and wiping your dirty fingers, what we do--- A SERVIETTE .

In Kiwiland -South Pacific

They need Paris Hilton

Because it's a known fact that she sucks like a hoover for as long as you want.

Sorry, I'll get my coat. It's the one with the colostomy bag...
