Why is the Assinine? This is just stupid. Or Amusing. Or even silly! I can think of many other better tags. Assinine would be if all of these boats were grounded on purpose and the call was actually a prankster.

Well, as long as the truck floats.

sounds like the duck hunter is too stupid to take care of himself

An 18-wheeler is parked on an island. There is no bridge to the island, but the truck drove there from the mainland.

How?

Reminds me of this: "When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England."

The place used to be named "Crotch Island". 'nuff said...

"Cliff Island is an island in Casco Bay Maine. It is part of the city of Portland, Maine. As of the 2000 census, the island had a year-round population is around 60 people. In the summer it can swell up to approximately 200. Originally named Crotch Island due to its H-shape and natural harbors. It is the only year-round inhabited island in Casco Bay with no paved roads." (new window)

I imagined Eddie Izzard talking when I read the headline.

"" tag would have been quite appropriate.

Because the drafts of the boats weren't different or anything.

Gay sabotage.

I don't know how much you know about the last war but several of our men were missing in action. Since then on two occasions we sent in squads to rescue those men. Both missions failed.

Now we have to go and get the men who went to get the men who went to get the men. My job is to make sure we don't fail again.

Why me, ma'am?

Because- you're the best of what's left.

How'd that work out for them?

Great on the 4th attempt. What would have happened if they had given up after the first attempt?

if a low draft boat couldn't make it, couldn't a row boat make it across, if not swim/walk across at that point?

Deep water, followed by rocky shoal, then island.

Jewell Island is in Casco Bay just east of Cliff Island and southeast of Chewbacka Island.

It's called TowBoat U.S.



But really, this isn't such a remarkable story. Newsflash - boats go aground all the time.

The moon is such an ass.

heh heh.
