I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'm surprised they don't have an army of oversized diggers nearby to come quarry it out of the bank. It's not like a boat running aground is an impossibility.

Strong, pathetic erections.

there were multiple cargo ships carrying information that would lead to the arrest of hillary rodham clinton scheduled to pass through the suez canal at this very moment

coincidence?

Alternatively you could turn it into a pro Trump conspiracy theory, with thousands of Chinese soldiers secretly being hidden in the containers and a brave pilot wedged the ship to delay the invasion until ground forces were able to dig in after buying more ar15s

Klaus Kinski's been dead for nearly 30 years. Would you prefer Nicolas Cage, Mads Mikkelsen, or (dark horse) Daniel Auteuil?

I know he's been dead. That's why I got the easy call.

Good riddance tho.

Honestly, it seems like a lowball estimate. Nothing from Asia is reaching Europe this week. That locks up everything on the continent even harder than it was already seized up. No manufacturing. No consumer goods. And shipping companies have to decide if they take the two weeks to go around Africa or wait to get through the canal. Logistics are already a mess at the moment and this is breaking things harder. The effects of thar add up fast and it's going to hurt a lot of people.

But not me, so I can laugh at the stupid stuck boat. :v:
