Jerry Springer in Space
February 6th, 2007 at 8:11 am by CrankyNo other person with writing skills is worthy to cover the Case of the Jilted Space Jockey as the Florida Cracker.
When she found out that Shipman was flying to Orlando from Houston, Nowak decided to confront her, according to the arrest affidavit. Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers so she wouldn’t have to stop to urinate, authorities said.
Typical astronaut — driving while replicating the atmosphere of Jupiter.
See what I mean?
UPDATE: More coverage, our very own annika. Pictures too!

Where can I get some of those “space diapers”? I figure the drive from Houston to Orlando takes about as long as the trek from LA to San Diego on a weekend late afternoon. Might be more convenient than a Big Gulp cup.

Hell, what kind of car gets at least 900 miles to a tank?

Gents (& Rhod), she’s an astronaut. They got all that NASA stuff. I’ll bet somehow the car burned urine.

Billy, it is not a diaper, it’s a MAG — Maximum Absorption Garment. I know that’s true because I read it on the Internet.
There is a fascinatin——disgusting site talking about why astronauts need to urinate more during launch at
http://www.nsbri.org/HumanPhysSpace/focus4/spacephy.html
And Kimberly Clark makes the diapers (the company, not the woman). And they take 2 or 3 per space trip.
That Internet sure is interesting.

“You’ve come a long, way, baby,
to get away from Neil Armstrong, today!
You’ve found a new, bizzaro way of going pyscho,
you’ve come a long, long way!”
(with no apologies whatsoever to an old “Benson and Hedges” commercial)

Geezer,
Shit you MUST be old if you can remember a Benson and Hedges commercial. Didn’t they show them on the AFL Game of the Week?

“AFL Game of the Week!” Lol, that’s a good one!

Well, not to brag, but when Ronnie Reagan, Tom Jefferson and I were talking about this idea Tom had for a cigarette vending machine…
BTW, just wait until you two turn 18–everbody 17 and under will wonder where your cane is. Though you will get to stay up later.

Just busting your chops, Geezer…the B&H’s reference was just too much.
And though you admit to being a “geezer”, I too am approaching “geezerhood”. I “get to stay up later”, but somehow can’t seem to stay awake past 8:30pm.

Ah, Billy, I’m way past being teased/annoyed/pissed-off/offended… the best have tried, and most of them are now dead, in jail or gay. Not that I had anything to do with that, or would admit same in court.
I am intrigued about having “chops,” since that’s usually attributed to someone possessing a skill of some kind. My only skill seems to lie in being able to drink beer and still be able to spell.
