I just wish that my framerate didn't chunk out totally with each dunk...:shifty:

:nope:

The fact that you rammed the pier and killed your entire crew directly in front of a marching band and a throng of cheering girls only adds to the exquisite embarassment of the moment.

Honestly, I don't think anyone can top this. I've had some bad moments, some misses, even some collisions, but sir, you stand alone.

The good news is the story of your demise must still be the source of endless jokes down the pub. A guy trips over his shoelaces, stumbles headlong through a plate glass window, and then gets run over by a cab, and everyone laughs and says "Look! He pulled a Finback!"

Eagle Eye, you should have sank them anyways. They were probably defecting to the UK just like the Italian Navy did.

Actually--I was a bit reluctant to post that story. I was afraid that someone would say something--well--like you did :yep: . It was a horrible experience and sooo embarrassing it was better that I was killed outright.
