A real life failboat.

Sign in to disble this ad
Here we are looking at a 21 year old man living with his parents in the upscale community known as Huntington Harbor. His name is Dumbass. Dumbass lounges on the deck of the property's personal dock enjoying a sunny day and a cold Zima when the phone rings.

He checks the caller-ID.
"Yo Knucklehead!"
"DUMBASS!!!!! WOOOOOOT!!!, Is he gone?"
"Yep dropped him off at the airport an hour ago."
"Saweet!"
"Dude!"
"Sweet!"
"Dude!"
"So round up the posse and cruise over. Bring the beer I'll supply the fishing poles."
They hang up. Dumbass finishes his Zima and heads out his father's pride and joy, the Exceter and removes the covers. He hops onboard and starts cranking some N'Sync because he likes to roll old school. On his way to the garage he busts out some dance moves including the patented Munjibunga wet-your-finger-slick-your-eyebrows move while looking at your reflection in the tinted windows. He grabs some fishing poles, a hibachi that attaches to boat railing, some charcoal, and a cooler. A short while later Knucklehead arrives with their posse, seven other dudes wearing identical wife beaters, baggy pants with their calvin-klein boxers peaking out the top and big flat brimmed trucker cap tilted to the side at the correct angle. They begin piling beers into the boat, and before they leave someone starts the rally cry "Shot!, Shot!, Shot!, Shot!," and they begin pounding shots of tequilla. An hour later, dumbass stumbles into the Exceter and motors out the harbor.

It's a beautiful day in sunny California and this boat, completely lacking any chicks, sets course for the Huntington Beach pier. They decide to yell "Wooooooo!" at the the people on the pier. Eventually, Zero tower on the pier advises them that they need to remain at least one half mile outside the surf-zone at all times. As they motor out to sea, they flash the voice of authority the finger then they congratulate each other on their brazen display of rebellion.

About 10 minutes later they cut the engines and decide to fish while slamming the Zimas. No one is catching anything, and two of the guys got tangled up with each other and decided to cut line ridding the poles of their pesky forty dollars worth of tackle. They fish rather happily for about an hour. At some point, dumbass decides he's going to go down below and pass out in the captain's cabin. The rest of the guys continue fishing, cranking Bon Jovi, N'Sync, Boys in the Hood, Shaggy, and Brittany Spears over the onboard stereo system. The Execeter has a booming system, so they crank it up loud and do the yo-yo pec flex dance at each other. They crank the stereo loud enough to block out those annoying bleeps and blurts coming from the lifeguard trucks blaring announcements at them over their PA systems. Then one of the notices that a swimmer and a body boarder are swimming past them. Then another. Pretty soon there are all kinds of swimmer around them. Then the next thing you know there is a six foot wave rolling at them. Knucklehead tries to wake up Dumbass because it's his boat. Needless to say the wave slams their starboard side, as does the next wave in the set, and the next one, and before they know it, there are lifeguards all around them yelling things at them. Eventually they understand that they need to get off the boat, so Knucklehead is the first one off. Instead of jumping out to sea like the rest of his posse, he decides he's going to step off the port side closest to shore. He jumps right at the exact same moment that the Exeter runs aground on a shorepound wave. Suddenly he sees dry sand. He makes it to the ground, promptly breaking his ankle luckily hobbles himself to shore just before the boat crushes him. Dumbass had to be awakened by one of the lifeguards that boarded the boat. The lifeguard grabbed the keys, immediately shutting down the bumping tunes, and went down below to wake up a very drunk Dumbass who had recently puked all over the Captain's cabin. Here are some pictures of the failboat.

The above story was recreated for the sake of dramatization.

I think Dumbass has a bunch of cousins that motor around
in Narragansett Bay each summer.

I think these guys were stupid before the booze. I mean, they were drinking Zima's. Do I need to say more?
Not to mention the fact that it didn't occur to them to bring some chicks onto the boat.

The problem with this whole thing is that it was on the State beach which is the neighboring beach. It was right on our border. If this happened on our beach, they would have been cited and tied up to our buoy awaiting a very expensive tow back to their dock. They would have never made it to shore. But the state guys kind of buttlagged getting the wave runner out there, and we had to watch the whole thing unfold. Complete with the idiots jumping off (Talk about Benny Hill music). I'm pretty sure they got cited not to mention the fat bill from the Sherrif's department for hauling out their twin Cummings Diesel vessel out to drag that thing off the sand and back to their dock. But I think their biggest worry is what Dumbass's dad is going to do when he returns back from his trip.

I would expect that Dumbass will probably conceal the whole business if he can. And he will unless the vessel sustained
some damage to the I/O drives and such.

Around here he would have been arrested, cited for DUI and
lost his driver's license for 3 mos and all that.

This guy has never heard of an anchor it sounds like.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this guy will too. Yeah, I took the first picture to make sure I got a picture of the anchor still rolled up and looking pretty on the deck.

I got distracted by the chick on the side there. Zima consumption is against some Man Law for sure and I am not guilty of that.

Isn't there a Man Law that states being distracted by chicks in tight
T Shirts is no foul? Especially ones that say 'i Hate
john turner' or something like that?



Back to your regularly scheduled thread.
