Cruise ships don't have nearly as much appeal as an all-inclusive resort to me, or just renting an apartment or condo someplace. We spent a few days at a nice condo in Puerto Rico outside of San Juan rather than the entire week at the hotel resort and it was a really good choice. My dad has organized a bunch of reward trips for his employer and on one "all-inclusive" cruise a sales guy thought drinks were free too, and was buying a ton for himself and others. After the cruise he got a $700 tab bill. My vacation was almost fucked in half when the surf stole my glasses off my face (even when I had a strap on them) but thankfully I packed a spare pare at the last minute and my girlfriend brought a bunch of daily-use contacts too. I would have been totally screwed- I don't want to be nearly blind while travelling.
I've got an uncle who owns 7 or 8 tuxedos because he loves cruises so much. I mean, most people don't even own one and this guy needs half a dozen? He likes to think he's very worldly because he has gone to a lot of cruise ports, and fails to grasp that these cruise ports bear the same resemblance to most foreign countries as the San Diego Zoo does to the Serengeti. I've never done a cruise myself, just can't really see the appeal of being so packed in a restricted area with that many people - I typically go on vacation to leave people behind. I have done the all-inclusive resort package before, though, which was a lot of fun. Not something I'd do very often, but we did a Costa Rican vacation where the first half was some adventure, and the second half was at a resort. Pretty nice to just be able to do/drink/eat anything by showing them your wristband. I drank entirely to much cacique.
Cruises are gross. I don't like strangers and I prefer privacy...I'm not going to get that on a fucking boat. Do any of you have apple tv and use it instead of a regular cable subscription? I only have television for baseball season, and was thinking about getting apple tv and an MLB tv subscription so I can watch Rangers games.
For what it's worth, I am not a big TV watcher but we dropped cable a couple months ago and now stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Plus, etc. through a Roku. It is a lot cheaper and I like it so far.
One thing I do remember thinking was bullshit when compared to the picturesque fun times had in the cruise commercials was the fact that when we were sailing THE WIND on the deck was fucking oppressive. There weren't many fun games of volleyball going on with diving and laughter at all. I remember a lot of people just turned two of those big sunning chairs on their sides to they could lay between them and get some sun. The only real times you could use the pools or volley ball court was when we were docked but everyone just left the boat anyway to get cheaper booze.
I use Netflix for most things - but baseball specifically, and I guess football when it's on...I need something. And with Apple TV you can subscribe to seasons of Archer or whatever. I don't know if Roku or Amazon Prime do that?
When I was in college, "car phones" were just starting to get popular and afforadable. I was riding with a buddy to the beach. I said, "Hey, I could use a Snickers and a Coke." And he said, "Well, I don't need to stop for gas for a while." So, I thought out loud, it would be cool if there was a little helicopter at convenience stores where you could use your car phone to call and have them deliver snacks. He mocked me. MOCKED ME! I told a couple more people about my brilliant idea and they, too, laughed. Well, who's laughing now, bitches? The future is here. Well, actually, they're still laughing, because I failed to come up with any way to make it practical. But, it won't be long.
Hmmm maybe not free beer, because if it crashes and all the beer bottles break, well then you're just a dick.
I do the same thing when I see a pizza delivery driver. FREE PIZZA! I just shoot the tires out, though. It's not like I kill the pizza guy. Very often.
Its the same thing people were talking about with the Amazon delivery drones. Could you imagine the possibilities when there are pinatas full off electronics and movies flying over your head daily?
If those things were flying over head I'd buy so many saturn missile barrage fireworks, also some of those small 100 shot cakes. If they fly through my airspace, they're going down and whatever hits the ground is mine.
Is it the fact that they're unmanned that makes people say this? Because, can't you just "shoot down" a FedEx truck or the Geek Squad Delivery van if you want to steal stuff now? It's certainly not any easier. If you shoot down one Amazon drone, you get one package. My office is on the second floor, no elevator. The FedEx guy just leaves his truck parked outside whenever he brings me up a package. You could just take all you want out of his truck.
Yes. That and they could be flying over private property instead of driving on public streets. You seriously getting internet serious over joking about shooting down unmanned delivery drones?
Rush, I triple-dog dare you to steal any two packages out of the FedEx truck the next time he does that. TRIPLE. DOG. DARE.
Spoiler Calm down. Its funny to think about thats all. Can you imagine a drone flying over your yard and trying to shoot it down with fireworks? Sounds like fun to me
Personally, I would be all about loading up the 12 gauge with some target loads. Maybe 7 or 8 shot and working the drones that way. But you could also use that same technique on the UPS man or what have you. I hear its effective.
Target loads? These are drones, you can't just toss pixie dust at them. I'd pull out a 10 gauge honker cannon stuffed with Hevi-Shot BB loads. That oughta do it. We should see what these guys are doing, they know what's up.
