Epic Boat Fail
nightintern · 06/08/10 01:30PMIt's understandable if some damage is incurred while docking (we're all human), but his must be the worst parallel parking job I've ever seen. How did this boat captain ever get a license?

Keep this boat captain away from icebergs. And also: boats.
The price of marrying someone much younger and prettier than yourself is that they might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Uber-cougar Ivana Trump can laugh about it, though, as she did when her fourth and current husband, thirty-something Italian Rossano Rubicondi, put his lifejacket on the wrong way during an emergency drill aboard a Mediterranean cruise. "If something happens, you're floating facedown," she admonished him. Given Ivana's propensity for falling down on yachts, someone needs to keep their wits about them! [Page Six Magazine]
Oh look. Someone has invented the official Pink Floyd cruise. For three days and three nights you can enjoy the sweet sounds of "Think Floyd USA," the country's "number one" Pink Floyd cover band, while trapped on a boat in the Bahamas. Here's our question: would you rather travel on the "The Great Gig in the Sea" or attend the yearly National Review cruise with Dinesh D'Souza and the enraged ghost of William F. Buckley? Please answer in the form of a short essay, in the comments. The best response wins a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry!
Martha Stewart continues to demonstrate her flair for attracting the authorities. This past holiday weekend she and her billionaire boy toy, Charles Simonyi, were taking a spin in Skylands II, her boat, off the coast of the domestic doyenne's getaway property in Seal Harbor, Maine. A few minutes into the excursion, the Coast Guard showed up for a spot inspection of the vessel! It no doubt triggered painful flashbacks of raids of yore for Martha, but all in all it was a pretty innocuous affair: Stewart's boat was forced to dock, a few guys from the U.S. Coast Guard made sure the safety equipment and whatnot was up to code, and then the Stewart-Simonyi loveboat was allowed back on its way. If anything, Martha actually seemed to take pleasure in the USCG's boarding of her pleasure craft—she pruriently notes that the Coast Guard dudes were "handsome" and "strong."
