Hurricane wave damage to supertanker

[George]

When I think about the possibility of such a disaster to a supertanker, I am mindful of this interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcU4t6zRAKg) and my fears are slightly assuaged.

[This is a great comedy skit]

[Ronald Brak]

Because of many people's deep seated and quite rational fear of seeing Rick Astley, please don't link directly to videos without a warning. You could give someone a heart attack out of fear alone.

[Neverfly]

ummm... where did you see Rick Astley?:neutral:

[Ronald Brak]

In Japan, it was horrible.

[Matherly]

He's refering to the act of "RickRolling" where a YouTube link goes to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" unstead of its purported video. Ronald is understandably asking that if someone is going to bring up a topic, don't just post a link, but actually say what the link contains.

[Joe Boy]

ummm... where did you see Rick Astley?:neutral:

Who is he??

[Ronald Brak]

He is a bass-baritone. The anti-falsetto. The beast with many hits.

In the case of humor, is a warning really necessary?

I don't know. My heart is strong, but other people may have bandwidth issues.

[sarongsong]

In the case of humor, is a warning really necessary?Common courtesy for any video; in addition to bandwidth concerns for some is that most videos have sound---something a viewer's current environment may not welcome. :)

I feel really silly asking but was that interview serious? It had the quality and timing of a Monty Python skit.
okay so that was a comedy skit. I should have read the comments before posting

[George]

I added that it is a comedy skit. When I was directed to it originially, I was told otherwise, but I realized shortly that it had to be an act.

Well now I know what you meant by:

But for some reason, I thought you were talking about Rick Astley. Don't ask me why.

[Neverfly]

Nope.

I was howling with laughter at this one, although I've seen some real interviews which may as well have been comedy skits for how idiotic the participants sounded. :lol::lol::lol:

This thread derailed quickly.

What fears exactly? I can't access Youtube from work.

You will likely see a number of other skits done by them in similar manner. The whale dieing of old age is quite funny, too.

[George]

I stumbled into this longer version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWPwlMv8lNI&NR=1).

[NEOWatcher]

I saw the short version recently, and I swear it was discussed on this board as an example of politician talk. But; I can't seem to find it.

I thought it was funny.

[Argos]

Hey, Rick is [or used to be] cool.

I couldn't find it either, but figured it was bound to be here somewhere.

[One Skunk Todd]

The con staff at DragonCon rickrolled Duck Dodgers this year. They always show it during the intermission while masquerade results are tallied.

I am pretending not to know who Rick Astley is. Don't want my age showing

Tanker with 22 aboard stranded off coast of Galveston (http://weatherblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/09/tanker-with-22-aboard-stranded-off-coast.html)September 12, 2008
There's a 594-foot freighter stranded in the Gulf of Mexico, about 90 miles off Galveston. And it's going to have to stay there, the Coast Guard says...hauling petroleum coke...

[George]

Ouch, that can't be good. Looks like they will stay and probably anchor once they get in more shallow water. 50 foot waves is very ugly! I've been in 25 foot seas in a much smaller vessel and it was not pleasant.

Heh... And I mentioned Bing Crosby a while back...:p

Rick Astley was an 80's era singer. "Don't wanna give you up"

Thought it was "Never gonna give you up" Doh!

[Fazor]

Ha! I finally got a chance to watch the video from the OP. Priceless!

You know, this is how everyday conversations would go (seriously) if the world was populated by Fazor clones.

[Neverfly]

Thought it was "Never gonna give you up" Doh!

CRUD!

You're right...

What can I say? I was never a fan...http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/106.gif


Anyway- you just showed your age there...:whistle:

Oh God, I crushed on him way back. Yikes, that shows my age. :(

What about New Kids On The Block?:think:

[Tinaa]

Or Donny Osmond?

[closetgeek]

When I saw Donny Osmond, I had no idea about reruns and old tapes but he was a bit before my time. I did want to marry Joey (I am not even going to attempt to spell his last name) from New Kids

[Neverfly]

[Gruesome]

Who is he??

This is the only proper response to this thread.

QED.

I can't watch the Youtube video , but your post made me laugh - and NO , I didn't have a heart attack . :p

FYI, Rick Astley is here in our country for a concert.

And I'm not a Fan of him .

:doh:

[George]

Donny Osmond, Bing Crosby, New Kids.... I think the front fell off.

[Neverfly]

Thought that was Dolly Parton?

[sarongsong]

Here's our Dolly Parton (http://images.townnews.com/nctimes.com/content/articles/2007/07/21/news/top_stories/23_09_527_20_07.jpg)---20 miles up the road. :)

[mugaliens]

I'd like to see the hopeful young Miss from South Carolina explain why the front fell off.

If she can just find it on a map...

Well, I think that it's because the ships in China and, like, the Iraq, don't have bolts.

On the subject of Rickrolling, I came across this (http://hmatkin.blogspot.com/2008/09/john-mccain-gets-barackrolld.html) the other day and thought it was pretty funny.

And must've taken quite a bit of work to put together, as well.
