I'm certain (and you'd know this if you read through this thread) that you are mistaken.  :lol:

That was actually the storm that blew through Kansas, and sucked up some little girl and her yip-yip dog. It was made into a movie after the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Speaking of being wrecked...

 

This thread reminds me of a time when I lived on the shores of Lake Erie (Wanakah to be exact) and the conversations we had when I was wrecked on THC one evening (I found out what that was by taking it :lol: ). Everyone was talking at the same time, and only a word or so was heard, before the conversation bounced in another direction.

 

:P

 

Be proud, my longest thread started with a plugged toilet. Yours at least STARTED above toilet level. :(

 

You know I have been around here a pretty long time, post on a regular basis.  I was raised on the Great lakes so with the 30th anniversary of the "wreck" I thought it might be a pretty interesting "OFF THE WALL" topic.  Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that this thread would be my most repsonded too!  Never mind that 90% of the replies have had nothing to do with the "wreck".

 

I am sad to agree this might be the worst thread ever. Thanks for detroying my ego folks :D

Yeah, but then, when it appeared the thread would drop below the toilet level, the Tidy Bowl man floated in on what was left of the Ella Fitzgerald to save the day. :D

Define "survive"?  The response to a hypothetical u-boat attack in the Great Lakes would have been late, haphazard. and uncoordinated at best, considering every meaningful asset was in the Atlantic.  But regardless...a u-boat would have maybe a week's endurance at that point, before it had to run home.

 

Another thing to consider is that a lot of smaller ships (US submarines, Coast Guard forces, destroyer escorts) were worked up in the Great Lakes prior to deployment.  Screw commerce, imagine the damage to the war effort by the disruption of training. 

 

Moot point anyway, since a u-boat never would have penetrated to the Great Lakes.  It couldn't have made it's way up the St. Lawrence against the flow of the river.  Hell, Prien barely made it into Scapa Flow against the tide. 

Moot point as well.  Lots of that ore that got shipped over the Great Lakes got shipped over the Atlantic as well...and sunk there.

As survive... I meant what would they do after the attack?

 

And exactly how would they get through the 8 locks along the Welland/Niagara Escarpment?

 

You are exactly right... it is a moot point.

 

I suppose the deluge of commerce crossing the Atlantic would overcome the attacks and stuff would get through?

I aptly skilled at "flushing" and "making it flow backwards."

I'll get rid of them when you tell me where all the spy cameras are in my place. Deal? I see you had the wiretap removed. Thanks.

You are welcome. I'm afraid that I have forgotten where all of the spy cameras have been hidden.

You didn't take notes? :w00t:

 

Ok, whatever. The crew will be gone in the morning.

 

Oh, and the new mailman really IS a mailman. You believe me, right?

I didn't take notes cause I thought they'd be there permanently.

 

There was one man lingering around but I told him to "beat it."

 

That was a pretty scary, funny looking "mailman" that came today. Where did you find him? :D

In his pocket was a movie ticket stub from a theater in downtown Norfolk.

When I said disguise, I never meant a hockey mask with a bright orange wig, a g-string, a flak vest and floppy red shoes.

 

Like carrying the mail bag was going to make it work out. :doh:
