Missing Titanic Submersible

Hale-bop comet was coming so they donned their Nike shoes and put rolls of quarters in their pockets before killing themselves. Pretty standard stuff really.

The foresight to name the company after the scandal, before the scandal.

Let's wait until they recover the bodies before we rush to judgement on the de-balling.

It's a strange way to name a submarine company.

Something more watertight than a gate might have been appropriate?

Watergate was already taken.

The deer have never read The Lord of the Flies.

Of course not, they don't have thumbs to turn the pages.

I keep thinking of the Heavens Gate cult - those dudes that cut their balls off and thought a spaceship or something was coming to save them.

Same thing really, just without the cutting your balls off part.

Skoptsy did it earlier, but cults are cults

This right here is an excellent point.

Your honor, my client can’t be blamed if the customers didn’t realize the name was alluding to a pending disaster.

Hugh, this is the most “I liked the Decemberists before they were cool” Portlandia comment with a dark bent yet.

How the fuck was this debacle named ____gate? Especially for something involving actual water?

Hey, I'm thinking of starting a new airline: Budgetburg

How much to go see the Sonata?

How much to go see the Sonata?

Only if performed by an orca

Ummm….uh…can’t imagine how much that would be…

But it rhymes with…

Is the lake thawed yet?

I just knew that car behind the sub looked familiar.

Southern Ohio is a wild place.

Am I the only person who thinks that 250 grand per seat for this seems awful cheap when you consider the circumstances? I mean, it’s not a damn carnival ride where you can make 30 dives a day at a million a pop. There’s 4 paying customers for a total of one million bucks? It seems like the tender vessel Polar Prince, and her crew would cost a million for the trip alone.

Like I read somewhere that ocean gate is trying to fund research by offering limited tour activities. What research can you fund when you lose money on the tour operation?

Imagine Robert Ballard in’84 writing grants. “The overall cost to find and explore the Titanic should be about 3 million dollars.” Surely it cost more even in 84 dollars. I had the book as a kid I don’t think I read the whole thing, maybe he does go into the funding aspect. Read the one when he found the Bismarck also.

Moar appropriately you get what you ask for.

Gallows humor really seems to be the preferred medium in this post-pandemic world.

Who's gonna update the heaven pic with Macho Man, Harambe, et al to include the sub?
