OK, here's the plan: First, we raise $500 million,

Onkel Neal · 08-12-06, 07:50 PM

...then, we jointly buy one of these and launch Subsim SSK#1.

We may need an additional $20 mill to get our crew trained by the builders, convert the torpedo room to a lounge with networked PCs, and stock the boat with Springsteen Cds. I'll check the sofa and car for change.

This sub is just the right size for a Subsim crew of 30, and it comes in black, my favorite color. We're good to go.

We can borrow the money from Bill Gates.

Sea Demon · 08-12-06, 08:03 PM

Neal, have you figured out how much money each of us would have to cough up? I'll ask my wife if I can participate.

Sea Demon · 08-12-06, 08:03 PM

She said no.

Actual time elapsed between asking and getting an answer: zero :rotfl:

I'll PM you when my line of credit gets up into the millions, Neal. Collectors won't be able to find me on an SSK I suppose.

I hold the highest educational credentials. Back in the day, that would make me new aristocracy. Therefore, by age of sail standards, I should be captian. I'll go practice my 'hand on coat with look of importance' pose for when we get the boat. I'd better get a tricorner hat too.

McBeck · 08-13-06, 08:31 AM

Well since im the only one here who has actully handled a sub I should be the skipper

I'll pay for the supply of Polish Vodka for the submarine. But I need to know how much to buy because I am going back to Sweden in a couple of days!

Please Neal, may I be in charge of the galley?
