I am rarely envious of anothers headline.THis is an exception.
Great for you- Submitter, I truly mean that.
Oh , and RIP or best of luck to the guys on the boat also.

/liked my headline better

 
cali4nication7 2007-01-28 09:33:18 PM  
ive been here long enough to declare this one of the top 5 headlines of all time

 
Mister Peejay 2007-01-28 09:34:28 PM  
It's okay. They'll survive by eating Joe's legs. It's not like he was using them or anything.

**groan!**

/+1 subby ;-)

 
bishop6042 [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 09:35:17 PM  
Bravo Subby

 
theeagle 2007-01-28 09:39:18 PM  
That headline reminds me of a story about a man from Nantucket whose....Something...Something...Something..

 
bigred1 2007-01-28 09:39:21 PM  
subby is pure unadulterated genius

mister peejay ain't too bad himself

 
thedarkjedi 2007-01-28 09:39:27 PM  
Those life rafts are supposed to inflate and detach automatically if the boat sinks too far.

Then again, fishing vessels are exceptions to just about every maritime regulation out there.

/Is in the Coast Guard, doing vessel inspections
//just finished really boring training on SOLAS regs
///is terribly sorry to have passed on said boring training

 
deltabourne 2007-01-28 09:39:46 PM  
+1.01 for the effort
-1 because "was searching but sucked it" doesn't really make grammatical sense

Net total: +.01

Congrats, subby

 
soosuh 2007-01-28 09:42:01 PM  
ROCK subby!

But, to make this a true limerick, try "they've probably all kicked the bucket."

still, +1

 
Sum Dum Phuk 2007-01-28 09:45:54 PM  
LOL!

There once was a girl named Kim Wheeling
Who claimed no sexual feeling
Along came Mark Ruffin
Who ate her hot muffin
And they had to pry her off of the ceiling

 
gravespinner 2007-01-28 09:47:47 PM  
There once was a crab from Nantucket
Watched the sinking of some old rust bucket.
As the crew hit the ground
He was heard to expound
"The leg meat's the best if you suck it"

/rip fishermen

 
hybridweasel 2007-01-28 09:50:41 PM  
+1 to subby
+1 to Sum Dum Phuk and gravespinner as well, for great limericks. This is epic.

 
death by law school 2007-01-28 10:02:19 PM  
+1 for a job well done, but doesn't it flow better if you say "they probably [have all] kicked the bucket"?

/still impressed

 
Dwreck 2007-01-28 10:08:00 PM  
An anonymous headline submitted
To the article, t'was perfectly fitted
The responders were heard
to declare how absurd
they felt at being outwitted

 
Sluggard Stone 2007-01-28 10:13:35 PM  
Clap for subby.
Ring the bell for the fishermen.

 
MmmCrime [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 10:13:37 PM  
Surprised it wasn't a headline referencing Gordon Lightfoot and his proclivities about sinking boats.

 
Barbecue Bob 2007-01-28 10:14:11 PM  
I laughed my ars off at this threat.
But I sure hope that crew is not dead.
If they happen to be.
Time will now see.
The search is now valiently lead.

 
bunny_of_chaos 2007-01-28 10:14:37 PM  
I guess this means any headlines for Japanese news should be submitted as a haiku?

 
Barbecue Bob 2007-01-28 10:16:01 PM  
Shet i meant to say thread.
I feel like such a blockhead.
I happen to be.
Stoned to the Tee.
Just forget everything that I said.

 
Dope-slap 2007-01-28 10:17:13 PM  
Dear Submitter, drown in a Winter sea.

Silently waiting
prism of fetishism

bunny_of_chaos 2007-01-28 10:30:48 PM  
Dwreck,

Well written haiku.
I await your next greenlit
Japanese news link.

 
Tillmaster 2007-01-28 10:34:48 PM  
The craft was out of New Bedford.
Not Nantucket.
The crew are now dead.
Pretty crappy headline, under the circumstances.
In pretty bad taste as well.

Oh well.

It's Fark.

Bloody landlubbers.

 
Truly Centrist 2007-01-28 10:41:02 PM  
Except for Tillmaster, the posts here prove you are all truly farked up. These hard working folks are dead. Enjoy your sushi, farkers.

 
Dwreck 2007-01-28 10:42:25 PM  
Tillmaster

Perhaps you recall this last year
It caught the national media's ear
when a young man named Cory
smashed the fortieth story
We make light of that kind of thing here

 
Jkay [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 11:03:38 PM  
those personal maritime distress beacons w/satlink are like $200 ... I suppose that's too much money to spend on your life, tho.

 
Karma Crusade 2007-01-28 11:08:02 PM

I'd say you redeemed yourself on your second effort. Stick to what comes natural.

Obviously t\you are all idiots with no understanding of the sea.

Bet you voted for Gore -- if you were old enough.

Kept the picture for future use - thanx

Here lie the bones of Martha Jones,
for her Hell held no terrors.
Born a virgin. Died a virgin.
No hits, no runs, no errors.

 
MaxxLarge [TotalFark] 2007-01-28 11:48:51 PM  
And to think...When I used to spend all day doing clever, meter-perfect limericks in every greenlit thread, I got death threats and signed up for spam.

Whee.

 
ph0rk 2007-01-28 11:53:46 PM  
Barbecue Bob made a nice save
Though his original post was deprave'd
but I laughed just the same
at the fishermen, a shame
Hope they haven't all found a wet grave

 
LiveFree42 2007-01-29 12:38:19 AM  
Jokes about dead sailors never make me laugh but here is my fun Limerick.

There once was a man from Spokane
Who could never quite take the pain
He got in his car
And drove really far
And put a bullet in his brain

 
Dmala 2007-01-29 12:39:13 AM  
Meh, the headline's clever, but I'm just not feeling it. Being from New Bedford and related to several fishermen, it hits a little too close to home.

 
Sum Dum Phuk 2007-01-29 01:20:12 AM  
Truly Centrist: Except for Tillmaster, the posts here prove you are all truly farked up. These hard working folks are dead. Enjoy your sushi, farkers.

I live in a desert, what is this Sushi you speak of?

And thanks, it took me all day to get this farked up, and about $20 :)

 
Eidolon 2007-01-29 02:31:51 AM  
That was the saddest limerick I've ever seen.

 
5OV 2007-01-29 03:38:35 AM  
I didn't like Subby's headline.

Here's my version:

There once was a boat from Nantucket...
/blurbble blurbble blugggg

 
srhp29 2007-01-29 03:56:40 AM  
death by law school


+1 for a job well done, but doesn't it flow better if you say "they probably [have all] kicked the bucket"?

/still impressed


Man, I am glad I was not the only one that didn't think the beat was quite there...It also works better with..."there was a lost boat from Nantucket"...

They that go down to the sea in ships.

geetus 2007-01-29 08:20:25 AM  
This thread on fark did appear
To be depraved, it's so clear
Until Tillmaster's post
The ship's fate, we did roast
His whining doth fall on deaf ears.

 
1live 2007-01-29 10:05:09 AM  
There once was a whore from Peru,
Who lined her vagina with glue.
She said with a grin,
If they pay to get in,
They can pay to get out of it too.

 
geetus 2007-01-29 10:08:04 AM  
Waitwait... I got another one.

I LOL'd at Tillmaster,
He probably thinks I'm a bastard
He acts like a troll
And thinks Fark, as a whole
Is all just a bunch of cockmasters


and in all fairness...


His handle was Truly Centrist
His post was vinegar and piss
He got Tillmaster's back
And for that he was smacked
With a rhyme from a cunning linguist

/just picking on you 'cause you outed yourself & your name's easy to rhyme
//Yes, I borrowed your nick, cunning
///a vote for me is a vote for more slashies

 
geetus 2007-01-29 10:08:59 AM  
ROFL, 1live

 
geetus 2007-01-29 10:12:38 AM  
OK, here's an old one:

There once was a girl named Hortense
The size of her breasts was immense
One day playing soccer,
Out popped her left knocker -
She kicked it right over the fence

 
worldbeater 2007-01-29 10:29:33 AM  
I want to see what SherKhan can do in this thread.

 
xanadian [TotalFark] 2007-01-29 11:24:27 AM  
This one will probably show my age, but...

There once was a gal from Madras
Whose t!ts were made out of brass
When they clanged together
They played "Stormy Weather"
And lightning shout out of her a$s
