Will there be a chance to try my hand at portraits? Because I might go for that.

Here's hoping everything works every bit as well as last time.

Two friends already have tickets for this cruise. I've admonished them to bring lockpicks and to always know the fastest route to a lifeboat.

Also, knowing the arrangement of the deck chairs ahead of time might be useful.

I'm thinking a private inflatable life raft.

That said, I have nothing against your friends. I thought TOM Cruise was retracing the original route. I withdraw my previous good wishes, if innocent bystanders are involved.

I wouldn't ride on that ship if they paid me.

Benevolent Misanthrope: I thought TOM Cruise was retracing the original route.


The psychic mind power of an OT VI means there's no chance of an iceberg puncturing the ego of Tom Cruise when he crosses the Atlantic on the 100th anniversary of the "unsinkable" ship's ill-fated maiden voyage.

But we can hope.

Perhaps, but more than 2,000 Titanic enthusiasts are willing to take the risk - paying up to $12,000 each - to book a berth on the Balmoral and a second ship, both of which will follow the route of the Titanic to where it struck an iceberg.

Some of the passengers are having costumes made to recreate the look of the original on-board guests. The first-class passengers will dine the way the doomed ones did - on oysters, roast squab and sauteed chicken Lyonnaise. There have also been requests from musicians to be part of string-quartet that continued to play as the ship began to sink.

There's something creepy about turning the deaths of 1,500 people into a floating theme park.

Let me know when Tom Cruise will race Titanic's route.

/that man is always running somewhere
 
2011-12-29 10:46:26 AM
The whole route? I ask because the last 13,000 ft. from surface to ocean floor was kind of rough.

So, what, on September 11, 2101 are they going to have plane trips that recreate the flight from Logan International Airport to lower Manhattan?

Aren't the icebergs all gone now?
 
2011-12-29 10:54:11 AM
Since you know that every idiot lovey-dovey couple on that cruise are going to want to stand at the ship's bow pretending to fly, I wonder how much the ship is going to charge them for it.

/extra to have your picture taken
 
2011-12-29 10:54:42 AM
What could possibly go wrong!? This seems like a great idea.
 
2011-12-29 10:55:57 AM
Will there be some shiatty "love" song that will play continuously over the intercom 24 hours/day that will drive some people crazy enough to take over the bridge and steer the ship into an iceberg to stop that farking song from playing?

Will there be some engineer guy who designed all of the electronic systems on the ship who got some disease that made him sick enough that the ship owners fired him, so he gets revenge by booking himself as a passenger and brings enough electronics to take over the ship? Then he tries to steer the ship into an oil tanker?

If they hold a party with strippers only to have the caterers turn out to be mercenaries under the leadership of an ex-CIA agent looking to hijack the ship's arsenal of Tomahawk missles, I'm on board.

If an iceberg hits Cruise's ship, I hope it has a beard on it.

Yeah it would be one thing to retrace the route and toss a wreth of at the sinking spot. But they are turining it into a big party. Maybe the ghost ship will show up in NYC and Cheech will say "Better late than never"

I feel about this the same way I feel about blaspheme or working on electrical power.

I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen if I do it but I try to avoid situations where if I end up in pain people can say "Well what else did you think was going to happen?"

Tempting fate can be fairly stupid.

"This is as idiotic as standing on top of a mountain, during a lightning storm, wearing copper armor, screaming "ALL GODS ARE BASTARDS!""

/Maybe these people can hop aboard the Lusitania II in a few years, and cruise around Ireland.

I thought he was busy plugging MI4?

Grapple: What could possibly go wrong!? This seems like a great idea.

Well, doesn't the Titanic's route kinda stop in the middle of the Atlantic? Or are we talking about the route it didn't take, in which case Cruise might as well cruise to Hawai'i because the Titanic didn't go there, either?
 
2011-12-29 11:58:09 AM
I see nothing wrong with this, as long as the ship they're using is practically unsinkable.

I used to be a sweet-talking member of the Baptist church.

Now I'm one God damn Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick blasphemous sonuvabiatch.

I find that my "shiat happens" ratio is still the same.

I had a similar thought. Perhaps they can have a submarine ride that slowly drifts down to the sea floor.

Yeah, I should have said "lifeboat capacity". They probably do make them so that they hold more than one passenger.
