See the World (Ship)!
« on: June 20, 2012, 07:08:49 PM »
Just got back to the office from a day in the field and found this parked a half mile offshore:

http://aboardtheworld.com/

The video on their site is totally Thurston Howell the Third.

I wonder two things:

1) How big of a score would this be to them there Somali pirates?

2) What if APS took the whole shebang over?  =D

I saw those Bali beds.  Each room gets its own machine gun mount and mortar.

The Bofors upgrade is sort of a scam.  First you have to pay for the M61, then you can get the 40mm.  And the gun crew is extra, unless you really want to drop those shells in by yourself.

1)  They were dinking around the Horn of Africa in 2011.  The Somali's had their chance.  Might get another one....

2)  We're just one winning Powerball/Mega Millions ticket away.... ;/
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
