What would you do if you had a moat?

[XemaSab]

[LaraMN]

1. Slip on it and break my neck.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. Is that Fort Jefferson, in the Dry Tortugas?

I've always wanted to visit...

[XemaSab]

3. It totally is and you should totally go

If you go, you have to camp overnight. It's a different place after all the tourists leave.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. Wow! I didn't know you could do that!

My parents went ages ago, with my sister. Dad was a Civil War buff, so we visited just about every fort on the East Coast.

But my mom and sister went snorkeling while they were there, and got some cool pics of a barracuda!

I'm going to have to look into camping out there! :bounce:

[XemaSab]

7. The camping fee?

3 bucks per night per person.

You have to bring EVERYTHING including water, but it's a good time. Especially if you like birding or snorkeling.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Can't beat that!

We'd either have to drive down to FL or rent equipment once we got there, though. It's a drag trying to combine camping stuff with your regular luggage on a plane.

[XemaSab]

11. This is a socially irresponsible suggestion

but Target has sleeping bags for 15 bucks that are totally serviceable in such a warm/humid climate.

That's what I did, and it worked out great. :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. I'll bet we could find a homeless advocacy group

to donate them to afterward. Hmmm...

[Strong Atheist]

4. Cross it with my

goat in my boat.

[hobbit709]

5. Fill it with hungry crocogators

And put up a "Welcome GOP" sign.

[mike_c]

9. swim laps?

[Aristus]

10. I don't know, but I'll probably have to get one. My grandson declared to me that

he has "minions" now. They consist of a couple of toy robots and a few teddy bears. But loyal minions need a moat behind which they can defend their master. B-)

[triguy46]

13. Get the boat out and go sailing...

[motely36]

14. Did you call me?

oh wait, you said moat not mote


:yoiks:

[JTG of the PRB]

15. Well, I'd probably build a drawbridge so I could get across it...

...and I might swim in it a little bit if it were the kind of moat that's more like a pool and less like a ditch. One of those I would be down with.

[jmowreader]

16. Piranha are, unfortunately, illegal in this state

I guess I could fill it with ocean water and put lionfish in it...

[NJmaverick]

29. Fill it with anti freeze, because the damn thing would be freezing over

with temperatures in the teens. Then when it's warm I think I would stock it with stingrays.

[Pierre.Suave]

17. Mess with the pizza delivery dood...

:P

[dgibby]

18. Fill it with alligators and invite the Repukes over for a swim.

[Jamastiene]

22. Alligators would be good, but

if you added piranhas too, you could sell tickets and :popcorn:

[GOPisEvil]

19. Charge all the other residents of this building a toll to cross.

[Xipe Totec]

20. Need more specifics

Depth?

Populated?

Crocs, or sharks?

Do the sharks have frakin' lasers?

[harmonicon]

21. get a bridge, I guess

It would be pretty inconvenient, since my door opens right onto the sidewalk.

[Jamastiene]

23. Time for some Biological Warfare! Muahahahaha.

I'd fill it with fishies; all kinds of fishies. Geneva? I don't need no stinking Geneva Convention in My "International Waters" :evilgrin:

Hmmm...

Let's see:
Puffer fish
Barracudas
Piranhas
Portuguese Men of War
Box Jellyfish
Blue Ring Octopus
Stonefish
Great White Shark
Sea Snakes
Cone Shell

and just for the fun of it:
some Saltwater Crocodiles (if it's salt water)

I may add some guppies, bettas, goldfish, and angelfish too, just to lure people closer, then :popcorn:

[XemaSab]

25. You need some candiru in there

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru

[Jamastiene]

27. Oh, that's good thinking.

When they see the 16 foot saltwater crocks and the Great Whites, they'll piss themselves and Presto! Instant awareness that they've trespassed at the wrong person's castle. :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

28. .

:patriot:

[MrSlayer]

24. I'd raise my drawbridge and declare a siege against the rest of the world.

I'd starve the fuckers out.

[ThomCat]

26. I'd probably have a drawbridge that didn't work

or wasn't built flush, so it wasn't wheelchair accessible, or something stupid like that, and I'd be stuck inside the moat. :grr:

That would be my luck.
