This would have been so useful for Eddy

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

This was the video that led me to Eddy Burback. He's an excellent youtuber.

He could have been sitting in the margaritaville dining car the entire ride!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

before I read the title I legitimately thought this was a reference to his video lol

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (3 children)

If you could get the over 65 set to realize the rail lines will help them get somewhere when their kid is at work, they might go for it.

But I'm not sure.

I wish we could normalize it everywhere. I think most people would like trains, but only if they didn't have to also drive and park at a station, which is how so much of the country is set up now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Guarantee that every trip will have a Bullet Train scenario going on and I'm down

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Yeah but hilariously they'll all be dead before it's finished.

A society grows great when old men plant tree they will not sit in the shade of.

That’s how I convinced my grandpa

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do you think they dyed all their margaritas black in mourning?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Oh god, I don't think I could drink that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.

Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

No margaritas for you, only work.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's closed to being truly based. You just need to add the Mexican coast express down to the one in the Cancún Airport, and then you're gold.

Alternatively, you could build the sickest bridge known to man, but Cuba might take offense to that. Who knows.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Gonna need some bridges anyways, if were going to connect the Caribbean locations.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Naturally. We'd be able to defeat a lot of flying in the process. This is just becoming more based by the minute.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I imagine it would use piles instead of bases.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

We already have 3 of the 4 high speed margarita rails in Florida (no need for one in Key West)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Rail travel is notably NOT the Parrothead preferred mode of transportation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, surprisingly a cruise ship could hit most locations with a short bus trip.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Where's the Syracuse Margaritaville at the Destiny USA mall?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

No stop in Branson? They'll never go for it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Honestly, this is dumb enough to work...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Screw the Pacific Northwest in particular lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And the mid-mid West. They apparently don't exist

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Oh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Get drunk and physically abuse your wife in more than 10 locations!

this is basically a population map.

omg, it's a joke.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Except Tulsa has a stop and there’s no Denver.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I really think things like this could work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Medford has a margaritaville
