YSaC, Vol. 1534: We all live in a death trap.
2013 June 13
Who wants a one man submarine?
Its a homemade one, but was used for its purpose years ago. Fully functional. I dont think id use it. About 9ft long and about 7ft tall. Could be a good center piece or clean it up and use it. What do you have? Email for more info.
My definition of “fully functional” must be slightly different than Sparky’s. My definition includes the ability to actually USE the “fully functional” item … and not just as a centerpiece. A centerpiece? Really? This would be the world’s worst centerpiece — it looks as though it’s made out of Bondo, soda cans, and resentment.
Thanks, jg!
Sparky drowns in a one-man submarine, a one-man submarine, a one-man submarine.
Enough common sense to avoid that.
Two key sentences….”Fully functional. I don’t think id use it.” Read that over several times, then consider acquiring this marvel of maritime engineering. (wonder if it’s still available?) It does kind of look like a giant cake with battleship gray frosting.
Is it me, or has Sparky glued a couple flounders to the port hole?
*corner*
Other ‘fully functional’ items:
1. the Hindenburg – may have a slightly smoky smell
2. the Titanic – may show some minor water damage
3. every politician’s brain – may have delusions of adequacy
Sorry, Sparky, your centerpiece is bigger than my table. And it looks like something Boris and Natasha might have used to stalk Moose and Squirrel, only not so well drawn.
It would be quite the conversation piece, though. Most of the conversations would probably begin with “Why do you have a submarine-shaped pile of tetanus bait made from old oil drums in your yard?”
*tetanus bait*
BWAHAHA
They can park it next to this: http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/?p=4547
Then the yard would have a theme! Martha would be so jealous.
Isn’t this submarine the wrong color? I thought it was an international law that if you built a homemade submarine it must be painted yellow.
Well, since this one is now landlocked Capt. Nemo McSparky decided that painting the sub blue would help it blend in better with the decor.
Nailed it.
And I’m sure it was a completely legal purpose that didn’t involve drugs, illegal aliens, or smuggling artifacts up from Atlantis.
I was thinking it involved rowdy teen boys, a home video camera, and “hey watch this!” as the most “Woooo!” of them sunk into the nearest river/pond/lake aboard the S.S.rustbucket
This tickles a vague memory of a Jerry Seinfeld schtick about the thing with the thing, on the other thing, at that place.
Doesn’t it you?
Was Seinfeld on NBC? Cause you know, I only ever watched NBC programs. 8) *wink, wink*
I wouldn’t use it. I would be afraid I’d eat it like the sammich it ain’t.
Jared would eat it.
It’s fully functional…as an anchor.
I don’t think I’d use it…I’m sure it sinks just fine. Bringing it back to the surface is questionable.
I don’t think I could talk any of my enemies into trying it out.
Finding Nemo… the live action version. It could be hazardous to your health, but hey, it’s an ADVENTURE!
What do I have?
Reservations, and a strong self-preservation instinct.
Fractal? Table for two?
Wild, party of 6?
Wilder, party of 12?
Donner, party of…. oops, where’d they all go?
I’m buying this and giving it to those jerks in Pod 6. Maybe I can trade Sparky some fignuts.
Actually, id wanted to use it, but super-ego put its foot down.
This is what a aquaphobic, claustrophobic person (or anybody with, as IF put it, a strong self-preservation instinct) would call a death trap. This is, however, the perfect vehicle for death-defying, beer-fueled Spring Break dares.
All it needs is a screen door.
I believe that this Sparky is a Jedi and can use his one woman submarine to give a ride to our Sparkette from yesterday and induce her labor. So – WE HAVE A WINNER!
I forgot, what was the prize?
A pile of puppies, of course!
I asked some loon biologists if this would be useful as field equipment. The answer:
“It looks like with a few hinges you could smoke ribs in this thing, too.”
You know, loon biologist sounds like a job post on Craigslist. Just saying.
Lone, subbie, your day in the box will live forever in the Intertubes and in our hearts. If we had hearts. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Blue October!
An attention-grabbing discussion is worth comment. I believe that you must write more on this matter, it might not be a taboo subject but typically persons are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
No,no, I ordered the spam masubi, not the span YSaC! If I were home, I could delete you!
