You can.

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

Perhaps if Hatrack took up a collection and then we'd have a place to host all of our get-togethres that was uniquely our own?

Posted by Kasie H (Member # 2120) on :

Everybody got $1000 bucks?

And who's up for going to Norway?

I'll buy the beer if someone else pays for the gas.

I'd be up for it...who gets to be captain?

More to the point, which one of us is Gilligan?

I want to know if the plane it's pictured with comes in the package. [Smile]

What would you ship an aircraft carrier in?

Do they sell stamps that big?

It's in Norway -- all we have to do is go pick it up!....

Can we rename it "pleasure island"???

I like Norway....

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Oslo--ve Norway.

When you're driving it back into, say, U.S. waters, make sure you're not carrying an almanac. They might think you're up to something suspicious.

afr!

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

We wants it, my precious!

Posted by bCurt (Member # 5476) on :

It can be named the OSC Hatrack (but only if OSC provides a sizeable donation for the cause [Big Grin]

).

An aircraft carrier is big enough that we could form our own sovereign nation somewhere in the Caribbean. Then we wouldn’t have to have any more arguments about George W.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

I'm in favor of the pirate thing. Arrgh!

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

With his tendency to land on Aircraft Carriers, President Bush might stop by anyway.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I'll chip in what I have... which is somewhere in the region of $5.00. Canadian.

Maybe I'll bring the peanuts. You can buy quite a sack of peanuts with five dollars.

I want an aircraft carrier!

Posted by James Tiberius Kirk (Member # 2832) on :

Exactly how did this guy obtain an aircraft carrier, and, more importantly, why is he selling it...

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Heh, this aircraft carrier is a bit of a hot potato. It costs far more to run each year than the asking price last time someone tried to sell it. Its old, its inefficient, and its in bad shape.

Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :

I, Eddie, am Gilligan. And you are the Skipper.

Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

Hey, it's just like real life. I'm jolly and get to slap everyone around, while I sleep with Ginger and Mary-Anne on the side.

Yeah, Gilligan, you never wondered why you got midnight visits from lonely women? Once you go skipper you never get bitter!
