News, but not the serious kind
Floyd, my olive floated out of reach!

Blog Guy, I have a question about the space program. How do those astronauts unwind after a tough day of space walking and stuff?
Are you stupid? You’ve never seen Battlestar Gallactica? They have a Space Bar up on the space station now.
Really! I’ve never seen that.
That’s because NASA tries to protect the image of its squeaky clean astronauts. But these new photos show Bartender Floyd mixing up drinks despite weightlessness.
Hold on. If there’s a bar in space, then they must also have pickup lines.
Sure. According to Floyd, here are the top five lines guys use on chicks up there:
5. So, you come here often?
4. You know, what happens in space stays in space…
3, Hi cutie, you look great! Have you lost some weight?
2, Why don’t you take off that helmet and oxygen tank and get comfy?
And the number one pickup line in space is still:
1, Hey baby, wanna join the 210-mile-high club?

Wow, they do get tan in space, don’t they? And we thought thinning ozone was a problem on the planet!
Well, this guy does look a bit like Twiki from Buck Rogers, so I guess the post is credible…
Hmm,
Definitely shaken not stirred with this guy!
Does mixing too many cocktails really do that to your complexion?
Oh please! No one is going to admit to being a member of the 200 mile high club. NASA would just have kittens!
Certainly, it is an elite group; but, trying to get the oomph in zero G is a serious challenge. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the members must be seriously skillful at using bulkheads, ceilings, hammocks and toilets to get the mandatory and proper traction.
And, no. The “tan” is a topical appplication. It’s sprayed on in a 1-G setting. It has nothing to do with ozone, or the lack thereof. And, if you’ll remember Twiki was a very pasty white.
And, yes, whatever happens in space stays in space, as long as it’s not caught on video or audio.
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a fron… Wait – Never mind. It appears from the first picture he opted for both.
