3. Its interesting to me that the passengers didn't even feel it

The wind looked pretty fierce. I wonder if that was a factor

10. I was trying to find that clip earlier

because the "scratch" the cruise ship got looked a lot like the one Tommy left on the Protector.

Although it is also physically impossible for him to have scratched that part of the ship at all. The engines stick out too far to allow for that, and thus add to the comedy of it

20. That movie is genius

I remember taking my wife, then girlfriend, to it. She'd managed to get me to go to several rom-coms so it was my turn to pick a movie and I chose this.

She complained all the way to the theater, complained in the ticket line, the concession line and through the coming attractions. Five minutes in she started laughing and never stopped. It's still one of our favorites.

21. It really is genius.

Parody and homage without a single subatomic particle of mean-spiritedness.

Fred Kwan is my hero.

"That was a hell of a thing" is my motto whenever I find myself in surprising but deeply disturbing situations.

11. Water they thinking...

12. From way up on the bridge, objects are closer than they a pier

13. the collision happened. Now you say it aft.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Now you're just piling on

[Just reading posts]

14. Just a fender-bender. Be sure to leave insurance & contact info with the dock.

[pinboy3niner]

16. And next time don't leave your pier feelers...

...on your car.

24. A little bondo here and there and the rest will buff right out

[cloudbase]

17. Quick!

Let's find a way we can blame this on the engineers.

18. My Vietnam LST did "beaching" this way:

Note: This pic is from Wiki featuring a Canadian LST during WW II. Mine was built in 1945 and went on to Korea then Vietnam. Not showing my pics of my ship because *I'm* in them!1

22. I have a nephew on an Alaskan cruise--not this ship--due to dock at Ketchikan today.

It will be interesting to hear from him what they find out about it one day later!
