    But not too tight that the Poo Story doesn’t work…

    • dr handle says:

      Maybe Botox rather than actual surgery? Which would be pronounced “bot-tox”, presumably. Or possibly But-tox.

      • JohnB says:

        If Botox worked on buttocks, I’m fairly sure they would have a version specifically aimed at such usage, called something like ButtOx. But since Botox smooths skin by RELAXING muscles, my guess is that after a couple of injections you’d need a new foundation garment, a Buttox Bra.

  2. saywhat says:

    The most painful of surgical procedures.

  3. PoodleGroomer says:

    Unless you are staring in “Br0ke.B@ck Freighters.”

  4. Jennifer says:

    Titan belongs to Saturn, but Uranus does have a Titania.

  5. naleta says:

    Is that what Preparation H does to you?

  6. JohnB says:

    Mine is already plenty puckered, thank you!

    • pamera says:

      John- so you’re a politician??? Or maybe related to my Aunt Dorothy (who could make diamonds – oh never mind…).

      • JohnB says:

        Well, you know us clergymen. I mean us psychologists. I mean us clergyman/psychologists. Well, come to think of it, you probably don’t know any of us… Come to think of it, neither do I! Except me. But then, who am I, really? Oh, great, I was already puckered enough, and now I’ve got an identity crisis!

  7. SP90 says:

    Wonder what are the names of the rest of the fleet.

  8. Grue says:

    Erm… Uranus was father of the titans. This isn’t an engrish fail, it’s a mythology fail.

    Gawd I’m such a nerd.

  9. Not engrish at all !

  10. KartoonNotWerk says:

    Methinks there’s a Photoshopper afoot!

    It’s not an Engrish fail or a mythology fail, it’s just a FAIL.

  11. dethscul says:

    Stardate 2731…Capt. James T. Kirk commanding USS Enterprise…Circling Titan Uranus in search of Klingons…

  12. Janet says:

    Reg Name: TITAN URANUS Off No: HK-1325 Call Sign: VRAA9 Imo No: 9000895 Survey Ship Type: OIL TANKER Gross Ton SUM: 137746 Reg Net Ton SUM: 73993

  13. forge says:

    As someone else said, it’s not “a titan uranus,” it’s the subject line of email spam “Tighten Uranus!! Here’s how!!”

  14. Lojack says:

    No mortal man can resist the power of Uranus… especially when you Titan it.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      Whatever floats your boat.

      • Yoda says:

        LOL again! Whatever mood you get into to get on a roll like this, go there often, please!

        • Droll not Troll says:

          Meh, I wish I could. I must be in Soviet Russia, because mood controls me.

          I have occasionally been known to remark that we all need to be in low spirits sometimes, so we have a reference for where “high” is.

          • JohnB says:

            We all have ups and downs. The lifetime incidence of clinical depression is roughly 33%, so a good proportion of us know the feeling quite well. I’m just actually coming out from a period of depression, my third in this lifetime, though the first one was the worst by far. And that time I got no help, except from what you can get out of a bottle of 80-proof, which I definitely do NOT recommend as a treatment for depression. (Depressed drunk people do all kinds of awful things! Believe me, I know.) This time I decided to handle it rationally for a change, and with a little counseling and a little medication I’m feeling much more on track. I’ve had a few good hits from life lately, which is how most of us get there. Life can be tough.

            • Droll not Troll says:

              I’m certainly not complaining about my ups & downs. From some of the things that you and others mention here, I feel I got it pretty easy. I have no addictions worth mentioning, although I’m not sure that’s totally a good thing, since some “addicts” seem to have very interesting lives! Drugs never seemed to have a good effect on me. One experience of morphine (in hospital) was enough to make me ask for something different next time! Apparently I got nasty on the morphine (not uncommon, I hear). I only remember a few weird hallucinations, none of them pleasant.
              *checks time stamps* Are you missing sleep? I suppose you must know a lot about the problem and its causes, but I find that sometimes the simplest solutions get overlooked. The thing most likely to cause me insomnia is when my mind won’t slow down. The best solution so far seems to be 2 or 3 drops of lavender oil near my nose in bed. Very relaxing, most of the time.

              • Yoda says:

                Oh, addiction does make life interesting, but I wouldn’t recommend it. The fact is that despite all the treatment and self-help groups available today, the majority of people with addiction still die of, or at least, in the active phase of, the disease. But depression can be a very serious problem all by itself, and even mild cases can interfere with productivity. But insomnia is not, and never has been, a problem with me. In fact, I fall asleep ridiculously easy, including during boring meetings. I happened to be up late last night because I fell asleep after dinner and slept four hours, which I didn’t need to add much to. So I stayed up and did some things before grabbing another couple of hours. Since I have been practicing meditation for the last 40 years, I have little difficulty quieting my mind in most situations.

              • JohnB says:

                But you’re right, one of the first thing I do with depressed patients is to inquire about sleep, appetite, and sex drive. The loss of sleep, and/or excess sleep, contribute a lot to the biochemical changes that occur in depression.

  15. Sethra says:

    Wait, didn’t they post the cream for this a while back?

  16. dr handle says:

    That poor planet, it doesn’t matter how you pronounce it: “your-anus” or “urine-ous”, both versions are inevitably going to appeal to The Puerile 10-Year-Old Within.

  17. Mortuga says:

    ”Thats what she said”

  18. Whoopenstein says:

    Photoshop Fail

    Just look at the background around the letters…

  19. Ampatent says:

    This isn’t funny to people who know how to pronounce Uranus.

  20. H3xx says:

    As and admirer of astrology, I’m getting tired of these Uranus jokes.
    GROW UP!

    And besides, this isn’t engrish. It is the name of a ship, and obviously derived from the names of two astrological entities, the planet Uranus, and Jupiter’s moon, Titan. Curious fact, Titan may be able to support life.

    • H3xx says:

      And no, it’s not photoshop. It’s just really crappy compression on the jpg.

    • H3xx says:

      I’d also like to correct a mistake on my part. It’s Saturn’s moon, not Jupiter’s. My mistake.

      • JohnB says:

        Had you read the comments above, you wouldn’t have made the mistake. And if you’d read my comments above, you would have also seen the Engrish issue addressed twice. And while I am not much into astrology, I am a big fan of astronomy. But so was Isaac Asimov, and as was also noted above, he expressed that no matter how you pronounce it, it will still appeal to the puerile 10-year-old within. And if you do not have a puerile 10-year-old within, there will be a lot on this site that will annoy you!

  21. A Noun says:

    …and in command, Captain Dixie Normous.

  22. ridgebackdog says:

    Sister ship:

    “Klenture Buttox”

  23. HB says:

    [ ] Funny
    [ ] Engrish
    [ ] Mature
    [x] None of the above

    • JohnB says:

      *deep sigh* It’s someone else’s turn…

    • dr handle says:

      If you do not like what’s here, go and start your own website, where you can offer discerning not-quite-right English for those poor souls who lack The Puerile 10-Year-Old within. Go on, it’ll be a public service, a charity even. ministering to the humourally differently abled.

  24. Alice says:

    You cannot grasp the form of Titan Uranus’s attack

  25. Me says:

    I think I saw a similar warning sign for tourists visiting California.

  26. dr handle says:

    I thought of this at a trash & treasure market today, where a smiling gentleman of middle eastern descent who was selling wonderful hazelnut chokkies also gave me some samples to try – two arabic-labelled chocolate bars called “Larva” and “Uranus”. I’m afraid to open either of them, let alone taste them…

  27. M.U. says:

    Hur hur he saud Urnanus.

  28. Can that be done from the poop deck?

  29. Ming says:

    I’ve seen that boat float in the harbour.

    Nosrsly.

    • Mae says:

      Its not photoshop! I used to ship soybeans on this darned thing and its sister-ship Titan Ursela (and a ton of other ships)

      We would always giggle when we had a shipment on it!

  30. Noctaluca says:

    HAAHHAHAHHAAAHHH “Hong Kong” you guys crack me up…

  31. Strongbo50 says:

    That’s funny, what did the two condoms say to each other outside the gay bar, “lets get sh_t faced” lol
