"MV Ever Given" Marine Traffic Jam

And the Ever Groot?

They shouldnā€™t have tried that U-turn moveā€”no parking, no parking on the dance floor.

Reminded me of this :sunglasses:

Seems to me a typical case of: ā€œHenk, turn the ship, Iā€™ve left my purse in Suezā€.

Your other left!

Has anyone heard about the future toilet paper shortage because of this? Better stock up before itā€™s gone!

I got my supply! He he he!

Who is old enough to remember the 1967 Arab-Israeli War?

The Suez was closed for 8 years back then.

Wow, I did not remember that.

of sanityā€¦The Most costume changes per minute of video Everā€”the Ever Change.

When I see evergreen I think heroin dealers

Oh Tarjaā€¦ Thanks LB. If I could only turn back time.

She is on track again: EVER GIVEN Current position (Container Ship, IMO 9811000) - VesselFinder :+1:

Thatā€™s Cher, I think. :stuck_out_tongue:

(At least I remember the commercial forā€¦ uhhā€¦ whatever.)

But yeah, ever since she got done dirty by the rest of the band, it just wasnā€™t the same. Same name, but not the same band.

ā€œSmeagol is freeeā€ :smiley:

I remember that. I also remember that back then about all I knew that came from China was tea, fancy dishes, and silk. Hondas and Toyotas were rare oddities and we had a new Rambler. My favorite shoes came from a factory about 45 minutes away from my house. Those miniature transistor radios from Japan sure were neat. However, our vacuum tube TV was made in the USA and IIRC the first ā€œsolid stateā€ TV that we got to replace it during the time the Suez was closed was also made here. Very different world today. :slight_smile:

I guess I was already becoming globalized. :wink:

I had a Volvo 123GT and an Austin Mini Cooper S and a Ducati Diana Mark 3 motorcycle. My home stereo was self-assembled Heathkit (US) but my turntable was a B&O (Denmark) and my speakers were Yamaha. I smoked Irish pipe tobacco and had already discovered Guinness and other European beers.

I had friends (Jewish) who wanted to go and join the Israeli armed forces, but that war ended too soon.

A very different world today though.

I remember billboards on Rt 17 through the Catskills down to NYC saying buy Israeli war bonds.

I was too young to smoke and drink back then;-) However, I do remember wanting a B & O stereo or even a Heathkit! Had to settle for a cheap realistic amp from Radio Shack. About the time the canal re-opened I got a nice Onkyo turntable that I still have today. (Upgraded to a better Grado cartridge 15 or 20 years ago.)

And to add further insult to injury:

Microsoft Flight Simulator mod blocks Suez Canal with Ever Given cargo ship

Are there any kamikazeā€™s in the house?
