    - honey, it was shit before that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 19:53 2
      - no actually...it wasn't. -- nm - Remlik Aug 5, 19:59 1
        
        yes it was. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 20:06
- that's a much better use of $$ than yacht's or cars to race. the long term PR will be fantastic -- nm - peglegpete Aug 5, 19:32 2
  - Hiring pirates to raid and plunder cruise ships and resort towns however failed miserably. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 5, 19:38 1

  - basically. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 19:54
- cause it's not funny? -- nm - moles Aug 5, 19:06 2
  - well to be truthful, it's amusing, but it really would have worked in a LOTR themed wedding and not a regular one. -- nm - Remlik Aug 5, 19:40
  - It *is* funny, just not in the way the groom thinks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 19:08

  - maybe so. very odd. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 19:06
- Amish! -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 19:03 4
  - I'm guessing they wouldn't need a driver's license. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 19:05 3
    - unless they were 16 you might be right. There are some amish drivers at 16... - Remlik Aug 5, 19:08 2
      - the ruhmspringe? Maybe. But then he would have been there with his mom. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 19:09 1

  - UCLA if we're lucky -- nm - moles Aug 5, 19:22
  - They should aim it towards the Furry free-range, then drop a match. -- nm - Qale Aug 5, 19:06
  - Sone tweets suggested they might be burning it off instead of dumping it -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 5, 19:01 1
    - Ah, you're right, I think that's what they said. It's when they take off with full tanks and have to return that they dump it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 5, 19:06
