Isabella: Oh, it's such a beautiful yacht. What's it name?
Carter: Its name? [Isabella nods] USS STRONGER THAN SUPERMAN BATMAN AND THE INCREDIBLE HULK COMBINED.
Isabella: The USS STRONGER THAN SUPERMAN BATMAN AND THE INCREDIBLE HULK COMBINED? Funny. The name on the back was the Red Dragon.
Carter: The Red Dragon?
Isabella Yes. Because this is my friend's yacht. And this is his party.
Carter Your's friend yacht? Man, All these yachts look just alike these days. I knew something was wrong when my key didnt work.

Ha...you get to buy about 1/2 an aircraft carrier. No engines, and I notice, no pumps...so it takes on water.

Then I need to buy my own armaments.

lol at "add to wishlist" option

Would be sick to build a half pipe on that, awesome for parties too. I could think of many ideas why one would want a personal aircraft carrier.

EmperorIS 12-02-2010 07:07 PM

i was just thinking of owning one today

Gnomes 12-02-2010 07:12 PM

If we could muster up enuff cash to buy 5 or 6, we can play real life battleships.

underscore 12-02-2010 09:47 PM

Anyone click add to cart? There's no price! Woooo free carrier for me

Would be baller to have "beached" somewhere, a la the Fintry Queen here in Kelowna, awesome for parties.

tegz 12-02-2010 09:56 PM

If I had the money I'd buy it then go cruise into random waters far far away from everything in case N. Korea decides to nuke the world

MindBomber 12-02-2010 10:01 PM

I'm in for a group buy.

Auto-cross on the flight deck, living quarters and everything else we could ever need below deck. Only problem is we would have to talk to each other in person everyday..

twitchyzero 12-02-2010 10:02 PM

does it have turbo?
what type of AA defense does it have?

You going to tie a rope around your waste and pull it around the ocean? The ship has no engines.

Manic! 12-02-2010 10:49 PM

I put money on it that it's going to India to be turned into scrap metal.

oldsnail 12-02-2010 10:51 PM

Screw that, get those trays that peanut vendors use, and walk around with laptops.
