Put me down for three.

I wonder if you could trick out an oil tanker to make a really bitching party boat?

I think you may have found the answer to the question "What do you get the person who has everything?"


In other news, the title of this thread made me go look to see if there was a Liar's Holiday Gift Tips #1—and I vaguely regret doing so.

I was thinking the same thing. Now I must go find what has made you vaguely regretful.

A couple of years ago,a round Christmas time, there was a Russian diesel powered submarine for sale locally.

The price tag was the unpaid harbour dues of about £5,000.

The downside - you had to move it from the harbour to somewhere else by January 1 and pay harbour dues to wherever you moved it to. Most local harbours had already refused it have it.

It was in full working order with dummy warheads on the torpedos.

Ooh! Torpedos. Can you launch them? Does the sonar still work? What era was the sub? Hmm... Hmm...

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

PARTY SUB!

oh man a party tanker and a party sub! That would take party events to a higher level!

 

[Liar]

Wouldn't a sub take events to a lower level?

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Wouldn't a sub take events to a lower level?

Techincal yes, experiential no, The lower the sub the better the party.

 

[gauchecritic]

so that would be vanilla in the tanker and s/m in the sub then?

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

va-nil-la? I have to look that up. I've heard it used but it confuses me.

 

[glynndah]

If we all chip in the money we're gonna make from that Nigerian guy, we should have no problem buying one.

Yes, yes, 1960s I think it's a Foxtrot.

OH MAN!


I know the opportunity is gone but the idea of a chartered party sub..... it would just be too much fun.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I'll pass. Looks like they'd be a bitch to gift-wrap.

 

[wafflemtl]

I understand the party in a tanker but in a sub ... is there any place to dance around in there ???

 

[oggbashan]

This is (or was - it doesn't seem to have been updated) the website for the submarine that was for sale: Submarine

One of my Chamber of Commerce colleagues seriously considered buying it until we told him how much it would cost to move, and that our town had nowhere large enough to put it.

Umm... even new subs are a little cramped. Now... if you're going for the "on top of each other" kind of party, maybe it'd be okay, but

"knock yourself out" takes a whole new meaning on a sub.

Yes, yes, 1960s I think it's a Foxtrot.

Og

Especially since Russian subs in the 60's weren't notorious for thier spaciousness.

Still. It'd be fun to check out. Especially with all the cool perks like fake warheads. Fun.

That's the other thing. And you'd need one helluva tree to put it under. Yggdrasil?

Well that's fine if you're going to use Yggdrasil but where would the elephants go then?
