I knew that was coming as soon as I saw the stupidly close range before the shot. Dumb shits were lucky they didn't catch some shrapnel. Unfortunately, youtube is full of dumb, irresponsible stunts like this.
And, as you should know, "Amity Island" is fictitious. Trust me, it was filmed on Martha's Vineyard. I know. I was there. Or, perhaps, you forgot the
"
" emoji above?The big ferry you see in the film bringing people to the island on the "festival weekend" (or whatever it was) was a real ferry, in service at the time. It was the "MV Islander." It was one of the fleet ships of the "Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket Steamship Authority," and it ran the route between Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard for more than 50 years. It took 45 min., one way, to run the route. It was the first "Motor Vessel" in the fleet. The others were all Steamships. Now, all the ferries in the fleet are Motor Vessels (Diesels).
Sadly, it was decommissioned in 2007 and sold for scrap. It was a big blow to the residents. They loved that vessel. It was, however, replaced with a more modern vessel, the "Island Home." As my late uncle described it, it was the "Islander on Steroids."
It is equipped with dual EMD engines and is a "double ender" (like the MV Islander) but, unlike it, it has direct drive, electric, double screws at each end (along with side thrusters at each corner). I rode it, round trip, on my very last visit to the Island in 2007.
As many times as the film crew kicked my dad out of his favorite fishing hole because they were shooting there that day? Yeah, Jaws was filmed on Martha's Vineyard.

^ Do they have sarcasm on Martha's Vineyard?
Absolutely, they do. But they're careful to label it as such, so the intent can't be mistaken. Hence, my question about the
emoji.... So we should add a disclaimer to such posts to avoid confusing residents of the NE? Makes sense.
The above is not sarcasm.

this must be the part of Fake Taxi I always miss
Gentlemen she is simply wearing this for show. If not the garters would be under the panties for easy removal…..
This race outside of Leadville always seems like a bad idea……
There is another in Clear Creek, Georgetown and maybe Idaho Springs too, not over a crazy high pass though.
Old trapper guy from Idaho Springs area was always there.
Not fast and looked 100% like he was outta Jeremiah Johnson.

Haven't been over Mosquito Pass but over many of the passes in the San Juan's. Lots of shelf roads which will definitely make you pucker. Folks get killed up there every year either in ATV's or Jeeps. Mostly flatlanders who don't appreciate the dangers inherent on those roads. Three people were killed this week when their Jeep rolled off the road to Imogene Pass. The driver was a local hired by a Jeep tour outfit showing it can happen to anybody.
