Note To JOAT: Astronauts Paint Their Tools Too

I were at the Franklin Institute today and saw a display of used Astronaut's Tools. The damned hammer had orange paint on it. Of course I immediately thought of JOAT.

They also showed a tool with a Borg joke on it.

Sorry for the picture quality. Only had the camera on the PDA, which sucks.

Pix on ABPW.

Thanks for the photos. That torque wrench looks just like the one I bought from HF. Heh heh.

I have to wonder how splotches of orange paint got on the hammer. I can imagine how this might happen in my shop but I wouldn't expect 'extra' puddles of paint lying around on any of the spacecraft.

I am appalled you would have thought of me. I feel defamed. You know I only paint my tools yellow.

Strange, I see people saying they saw your post there, but it's not there for me. Discrimination? I'll have to check again later.

I also saw a lot of spam over there, much more than I recall happening. Have people stopped reporting those little twits? I admit, reporting them doesn't have a lot of effect, but every once in awhile one is nailed. I think the more people that report one of those little no-lifes, the more apt their server is to drop them.

JOAT People without "things" are just intelligent animals.

I reckon that astronaut woulda painted his yellow too, 'cept for the moon being made of cheese and all sose it woulda blended in too much, don'tchaknow.

I figger the one astronaut got pissed off at the other astronauts leaving his hammer out lying around and decided to spray a little orange paint onnit.

D'ya think they got pegboard onna spaceship with outlines fer the tools sose the astronauts know when they're missing?

Mebbe not.
