I admire Senor Grass' pluck, but I would advise him not to remain in Florida much longer.

Regards, Ivan

Remember.

Ping!

[sgtbono2002]

Youre sick.

[passionfruit]

Too true! Putting innocent Americans to death is almost enough to make a Floridian flee to Cuba!

[RichInOC]

Good thing he did it now...General Motors is thinking about shutting down Buick. It would have been a real hassle getting parts later if he waited too long.

[Hank Rearden]

Sigh. I search in vain for a non-TerriAllTheTime thread.

Bless these Cubans. I'm for tight immigration controls but I'd like to see them stay, one, they are fleeing Communism, and two, I admire resourceful people like these, we need more people like them. Anyone that really puts it on the line by making a car/truck float, well, they deserve to stay in the U.S. My hats off to them. I do agree with you about not staying in Florida, if they can go the 90 miles to Florida, I think the old bucket has a lot of life left in her to take them to Georgia.

I hope this guy lands himself a gazillion dollar movie deal. I know I'd buy a ticket to see it, and I'm sure he'd put the money to excellent use.

[patton]

they were reprimanded and told to stop drinking while on patrol.

I welcome this guy to the US.

[Ramius]

These guys are a hoot. Fleeing communism is not usually done with such panache.

They need their own show on Discovery, a la Junkyard Wars.

Btw, check out this p.o.s. by Gabriel Garcia Marquez on Elian:

An infallible formula for being well-received as an immigrant in the United States is to be shipwrecked in her territorial waters. Cárdenas is a good departure point: it is close to Florida, and its coves are protected by mangrove swamps. Moreover, the regional art of making small craft for fishing in the nearby Zapata Swamp and Del Tesoro Lagoon provides raw materials for illegal boats, in particular the aluminum pipes used for irrigating citrus groves. People say that Munero must have spent some $200 and an additional 800 Cuban pesos on the motor and the boat's construction. The result was a kind of lifeboat, with no roof and no seats. Three inner tubes were put on board as life preservers for 14 people. There was no room for more. Before they left, most of the passengers injected themselves with Gravinol to prevent seasickness.

Illegal boats. Of course.

Sickening.

I would think a Buick would sail pretty well - they've been putting portholes in them for years.

Until this thread the fastest I've seen an article hijacked to Terri was at post #3. You did it at post #1.

Congratulations.

From a Buick 6

I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid
But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid
She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

Well, when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge
I'm cracked up on the highway and on the water's edge
She comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with thread
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

Well, she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much
She walks like Bo Diddley and she don't need no crutch
She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

Well, you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
She brings me everything and more, and just like I said
Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
