Titanic Centennial


Recommended Posts

...a moment o' silence ta mourn the centennial o' a terrible disaster... :(

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.


For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

You get that sinking feeling...

 

Of the three sisters, only Olympic lived to see the end of WWI. Ironically, she was the first launched. Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, Britannic struck a mine/torpedo and sank. Poor track record.

 

Edit: I love this old picture showing Titanic during construction in Belfast, sitting just next to its "sister" Olympic

Punitive retribution... bad jokes ahoy!

 

Q: What sits on the bottom of the Ocean and shakes?

A: A nervous wreck.

 

Q: What's a sign that you have an irrational fear of icebergs?

A: You start having water-tight compartments installed in your pants.

 

In England in 1912 a guy found a lamp and suddenly a genie popped out. The genie said, "I will grant you one wish."

The guy was not well-to-do, so he said, "I want to live in luxury for the rest of my life."

"Fine," said the genie, "Here's a first class ticket for the Titanic."

 

What goes down well with ice? The Titanic!

 

Titanic was about to sink. People on the ship were shouting, crying, running and praying. A passenger went up to the captain to ask him a question.

Passenger: How far are we from land?

Captain: Two miles...

Passenger: Only two miles, then why are these fools making so much noise. I can swim that far easily.

Captain:.....Uh????

Passenger: In which direction should I swim?

Captain: Downward..

I'm sure. :lol:

It's not so much shocking or unexpected as it is just...disheartening.

Reminds me of the Asian girl in University saying "I don't even know where Korea is".

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Ohhhh... they made the ship titanic and they made her out of steel

They said no storm will ever break her keel

But god raised his hand and shot a rubber band

and the greatest ship went dooown....

 

 

It was sad... so sad (It wasn't happy)

It was sad when the greatest ship went down

to the bottom of the, husbands and wives, little children they all died

It was sad when the greatest ship went down.

Removing the original soundtrack alone made that trailer worth watching :sorcerer:

Holy Crap, SA, you're old enough you were probably a passenger on the Titanic. Bastard. If you report me, I'll either deny the whole thing or blame it on the Jameson.

 

I'll just point out that, having endured three viewings of Titanic for various people, nine hours is about seven hours too long for the film.
