We've all been in this situation, well, some of us have, or, maybe most
of you haven't, but anyway, the parties going great until the cops arrive
and ruin all the fun. So I propose, International Waters Parties! These
parties start with healthy activities like basketball and Scrabble as the
ship
steams out of Law infested waters, but once safely out of reach of
any jurisdiction, the fun really starts. Just imagine! No noise
complaints, no possibility of unwanted visitors, no restrictions on the
type or quantity of "disco treats" you can consume. Let it all hang out in
a week long orgy of sex drugs and rock n roll! When it's all said and
done, you have plenty of time to nurse yourself back to something resembling a human being before you have to venture out into that
horrible thing called reality.

Oh. I thought it said The Fuzz Free Panties.
I'm pretty sure I saw the Simpsons do this one. |
|
| |
"Fuzz" ?
How very quaint. |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure party cruises already exist... and do so with already well-defined problems: |
|
| |
How does one get the "disco treats" onboard from a country where they are banned? |
|
| |
Who operates the vessel, and ensures you are in fact in international waters while everyone else is partying like maniacs? Also, how do you keep smashed and horny individuals from taking the operators away from their responsibilities? |
|
| |
What flag do you fly to evade legal sanctions? |
|
| |
How does one avoid running afoul of international laws... such as child sex laws, human trafficking, and drug smuggling... and what do you do with the individuals who came on the cruise just to engage in said acts. |
|
| |
In the absence of law-enforcement officials, what happens if someone is, or claims to be taken advantage of? |
|
| |
How does one make this venture both cost-effective and time-effective? |
|
| |
This last question is in fact a major issue, as the individuals who desire to party hardy the most tend to be least able to afford it, and most ready to party hardy in their current location regardless of the illegality of the process. |
|
| |
You wouldn't be able to come back into port until every last pill and powder had been consumed. Which is great until some nutter with kilo of coke jumps aboard. |
|
| |
I won't bone this one though, because I really like the idea of starting a proper party with a bit of scrabble. That has style. |
|
| |
Ok this idea is fraught with problems but some of the ones
mentioned here are easily solved. |

This isn't the sort of cruise you take your kids on, so no
kids on board. With drug trafficking you would have to
argue it's for personal consumption and as your only
leaving your country and then returning, it's hardly
trafficking. A strong security force would be necessary to
protect the patrons and staff. |

Good one. Not sure if you can. It's true the sort of people
who would enjoy these parties are the least able to afford
them. I'm pretty sure stupidly rich people do this sort of
thing all ready, so you can't really have a high roller
section or anything. Oh well... |

i feel Eggplant's need for a fuzz-free party solution. I don't think this is the solution - I've seen similar things tried in the Bay Area on ferry-type boats. partying on boats kidna sucks (if you're a normal type partier, not a sailor) because you feel trapped - can't get out when you want to. Good parties are tough to make happen; feeling trapped really kills a buzz. Desert parties seem to work pertty well, though still police-prone. How about hiring native american land? Or just a private farm? e.g. Woodstock? |
|

I'm trying to come to terms with becoming a boring old fart but really, can't you kids have fun without extremely loud music, drugs, alcohol and orgies? What's wrong with holding hands and drinking tea? - Even if you do like it a bit more rock and roll, you don't to go to the point where the police have to comerestore the peace. That's not fun, not a good partie, that's just stupid. |
|
| |
I like this term "illegal parties" it just sounds funny. What
makes a party illegal? Is it when there is a disproportionate
amount of old people to young people? Or gatecrashers to
legitimate partygoers? Not enough people wearing party
hats? Please define. |
|
| |
No Unna, I'm not from the east coast where a few
incidents such as what you described have occurred. |
|
| |
//They usually involve stabbings, riots and the trashing of
the host's parents' house.// |
|
| |
Easy now, don't let a few overblown media reports lead
you astray. The reality is that these things on occasion do
happen but they are a rarity. The Media love it because it's
sex, drugs, rock n roll and violence to boot, what a story! |
|
| |
I think [white] has a good point. Yes a boat would be
claustrophobic and if the party sucked you don't want to
be stuck on it for a few weeks. |
|

Hey Bubba you should take a note from these guys, think
up legitimate problems instead of all these vague
sensationalist claims and getting all exited about cops
impounding cars. What exactly does that have to do with
anything? |
