Aircraft Carrier for sale!
 
So what do you think? We all chip in and buy it, then christen it the USS FOFC? Who's going to captain this bad boy?

Carrier for sale

vex 05-30-2003 02:13 PM

Ok, we didn't get Brett Favre's house last time, we have to get this!

I've got 6 bucks.:)

scooper 05-30-2003 02:14 PM

Everybody chip in, but save a few bucks. We're going to need some airplanes.

scooper 05-30-2003 02:15 PM

Dola.

Duh! Ardent will captain the vessel!

Bee 05-30-2003 02:16 PM

Quiksand lives in Annapolis, we can park it at his house.

Coffee Warlord 05-30-2003 02:19 PM

I got 20 bucks for this.

I call XO!

bbor 05-30-2003 02:20 PM

Can we fish with it?

Heck yes. Who's gonna stop us? I think we'd officially have the fifth most powerful navy in the world. If a couple of us can scrounge up some bass boats, we'll move up to fourth.

cmp 05-30-2003 02:25 PM

Let's see. I have 75 cents in my pocket. I'll put that in the pot.

Bee 05-30-2003 02:27 PM

We could take over France! I can see it now...

We roll up in our Aircraft Carrier.

They surrender.

Wine and cheese for everyone.

:D

scooper 05-30-2003 02:32 PM

I can see it now. This group standing on the deck looking like the guys in the boat from the movie One Crazy Summer. Bowling shirts and viking helmets for all.

Jets80 05-30-2003 02:36 PM

I would have to have my machinist look it over before I buy it.

JeeberD 05-30-2003 03:25 PM

Sweet! I'll chip in a $20. But I have to be able to steer the thing for at least five hours per week...

illinifan999 05-30-2003 03:29 PM

I have $20 I can put in. But I want to fire some missiles or something destructive.

Coffee Warlord 05-30-2003 03:32 PM

If you'll also note. It's not nuclear powered. That sucker is gonna take one helluva lot of gas.

We may have to cut back our air force by a plane or two to fuel the sucker.

Coffee Warlord 05-30-2003 03:34 PM

Dola.

XO Coffee Warlord demands that his quarters be outfitted with a hot tub, and all the winners of Hot Chick Survivor.

Can you gas-and-go with an aircraft carrier?

Who's going to stop us? :D

"The bill comes to how much?!?!?!" BOOM!

CamEdwards 05-30-2003 03:59 PM

I'll throw in 50.

VPI97 05-30-2003 04:01 PM

I'll put in $20 if I can be the guy who waves the flags around when planes take off. He looks like he's having a massive spasm attack...that'd be cool.

tucker342 05-30-2003 04:03 PM

I've got a 20 I can throw in:D

JonInMiddleGA 05-30-2003 04:44 PM

Put me down for $45 -- That should be good for .001%

JeffNights 05-30-2003 04:51 PM

Damn! i always wanted one!

I'll dip deep into the piggy bank and pony up $250.

cartman 05-30-2003 05:09 PM

I've got a plan where we possibly can get it for free, much along the lines of the "Gas n' Go" plan.

We have to see if they take the American Express card. If so, I'll break out the Platinum Card, and we can sail off into the wild unknown, and take care of any bill collectors if they are brave enough to follow! We then use the same scheme for planes, fuel, and munitions, and we are home free!

illinifan999 05-30-2003 05:58 PM

And if they get close. Bam, bam, bam I blow them up with some big guns! I'll also add to my $25, and put in $100. (babysitting is a very lucrative job). ;)

Now where can we get some cruise missiles?

And we gotta play football with the catapult like in that one movie which name escapes me. ;)

AnalBumCover 05-30-2003 06:04 PM

Wow! 36,000 HP! Sure beats my Accord V6...

Craptacular 05-30-2003 06:26 PM

98,000 gallons of fuel. That might take a while to fill up. Don't forget to get the discounted car wash with that.

Coffee Warlord 05-30-2003 06:31 PM

So who's gonna swab the deck?

sterlingice 05-30-2003 06:51 PM

I'll chip in $5 if I can fish off the side of it.

SI

auwillie 05-30-2003 07:59 PM

How many skiers will it pull....

CHEMICAL SOLDIER 05-30-2003 08:11 PM

Heck with 2800 members that would be enough of for the crew .
Im in but I have to be the official Boat Idiot .

ColtCrazy 05-30-2003 10:21 PM

Personally, I've always wanted to buy a tank, but I'll chip in $50 as well. Maybe you all will let me park my tank on top someplace. We need a landing force after all :D

Great, then it's settled, you get to feed the crew. Bring a lot of bait.

Airhog 05-30-2003 10:39 PM

Hmm I will chip in 10 bucks, but I wanna be the one that blows up france :D


Okay just kidding about blowing up the france...

Airhog 05-30-2003 10:44 PM

Well only 4,499,369 left to purchase this wonderful ship.

Mantle2600 05-30-2003 11:35 PM

Ive got about 500 bucks total to my name so add that bit of change.

Oh yeah, and I want to be the one who makes the boat idiot his bitch...

vex 05-30-2003 11:49 PM

Can you imagine if a group of people like us really did get something like this?:)

vex 05-30-2003 11:50 PM

And the fuel is oil, not gas.

EagleFan 05-30-2003 11:54 PM

Uh oh, I think they just raised the security alert after reading this thread. We've just been given our own file among the list of terrorist organizations. Hamas, Al Qeida, PLO, FOFC... Good thing the sub isn't "nukuler" :D or they would already be putting together a plan to raid SkyDog's Wonderland Ranch. :)

All we need is a couple cesnas thrown on board and we'll not only be the 4th most powerful navy but we'd be the 5th most powerful armed forces.

Any U-boats for sale? We could really build our fleet.

If the UN starts to get upset with us we'll promise France some oil contracts and they'll veto any action against us.

vex 05-30-2003 11:56 PM

Ok, we only need $4,498,823.25 now:)

TroyF 05-31-2003 12:13 AM

I'm in for 20 bucks. I'll be in the IT department of the ship. I'm sure there will be a lot of computers to hook up.

I don't have any special demands, though I would like to sail to Australia at some point.

I will throw in another $20, but if this is all that comes with it then France is about the only place we have a shot of conquering.

Blackadar 05-31-2003 08:45 AM

I'll drop $1k, but I get to be the Captain.

Blackadar 05-31-2003 08:47 AM

Actually, screw that. For $1,000, I get to be the Admiral.

We've got a couple at West Edmonton Mall that we could probably get for cheap, problem would be getting them to the ocean, but that's a problem for later, not now!

I'd chip in $20, but after conversion, that might set us back $5 american...

As long as i get to bunk with you buddy....we'll give new meaning to the words "poop deck"

:D:D

Coffee Warlord 05-31-2003 12:46 PM

You know. If my company pulls off the impossible, our insane profit sharing system is such that I could have enough money to purchase the sucker in a year or two. Assuming of course, clients decide to pay. :)

Admiral CW has a nice ring to it.

bbor 05-31-2003 12:50 PM

You work for Worldcom? :D
