The only other fix, and I DOUBT seriously this will happen, is that the Russians will send a sub.

They can offer him a tow to port.

At 300 meters.

Thanks for the ping. Funny song, even funnier situation!

What’s the oleo margarine that used to have the slogan: “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature?”

‘Cause somehow it seems to apply here, like this guy is Mother Nature’s fool, or something.

It’s not so nice, being Mother Nature’s Fool.

Superb job, and “Inconvenient Tour” is a nice touch! :^)

What would the World be like if Gore had been elected?

We would be living in tents and fighting over the roadkill.

ROFLMAO!!!!

Speaking of The Ice Road Truckers, did you hear the “Polar Bear” snort about global warming? He said “talking to me about global warming when it’s -40 below and ice is sticking to your face”. I almost fell off the couch laughing.

Are you a repeat winner?

Option 1) would be if the owner were dead or unreachable.

What option is there if the owner has been transformed into frozen bear droppings in the snow?

[RinaseaofDs]

In that case, the captain of one of Russia’s nuke powered breakers is going to have a very nice Artic Research Vessel to accompany whatever small craft aboard her currently.

[epow]

I’m OK with that. If the owner doesn’t need it any longer due to having been ingested by the local wildlife, someone may as well get some use out of it.

But now he can start complaining about “climate change” which is the way to win no matter which way the temperature goes. It’s man-made pollution all the way, cold or hot. Idiots.

[ran20]

Seperated at birth?

[dirtbiker]

What a dumbass. He probably still believes in global warming and is now blaming it for his predicament.

It's all Bush's fault....

[Paul Heinzman]

First time winner—it’s quite an honor.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

My two year old grandson can draw better than that.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Make that 130.

Well now, if Wrong Way Flanagan does get devoured by any polar bears the True Believers will still try to turn it into a tale of Global Warming.... they will tell us the polar bears were feeling desperately hungry due to changes in their environment. And if this dipstick never does get his yacht free from the ice, the story will be that global “climate change” simply alters the patterns of weather and ice, so it’s really not a black mark against the Albore School of Propaganda.

btw, we should start a public campaign for Albore to pay for this guy’s rescue — the theme should be that since Albore and friends implanted foolish beliefs in this guy’s head they are responsible for his life-threatening predicament.

[kenth]

ROFL... another fine offering Charles.

Good idea. Just don't let blubbergut Albore go over there himself, he'll eat all the polar bears in Siberia if he gets the chance.

Excellent work on that parody Charles, another standing ovation for the FR musikmeister. The words fit the music almost perfectly as best I remember the tune.
