This would have been so useful for Eddy

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year 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

Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No margaritas for you, only work.

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

Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

I imagine it would use piles instead of bases.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly, this is dumb enough to work...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

this is basically a population map.

omg, it's a joke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Screw the Pacific Northwest in particular lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I really think things like this could work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Medford has a margaritaville
