OMG, "Gorgo" and his mother is still alive after all these years!!! Here I thought the pollution of the North Atlantic would of killed them off after more than 5o years in the open seas.

It's Godzilla!
For the life of me you think I could find a screen cap of "Gorgo" that does him justice. Nope! Not me.

Poor Joelist! He is just trying to have a nice cruise, and already he is having to deal with Godzilla and Gorgo. When he gets to Southhampton, maybe Ghidorah will be waiting!
Actually it is an ocean voyage - QM2 is not a cruise ship
Liners and cruise ships taste the same to Godzilla and Gorgo. Yum!.

The Queen Mary must of dropped off some food for Gorgo because they must know what he did to London way back in '61.
They learned from a past mistake when Gorgo's mother climbed aboard the ship and dropped a shitload of "kim chee" on the poop deck.

I eagerly await receiving my share of the gold doubloon cache you found. Just in time for Christmas!

Hey man, not trying to sweat you or anything but the boys and I were wondering when we're gonna be seeing our cut of the gold doubloon cache?
That was quite the production! You made that? Great music balance, the movement with the still images...AWESOME! It told the story of your trip in a very engaging way, and you must have had a wonderful time on that beautiful ship. Thanks for sharing that video here!

Kudos! It looks like a fabulous trip. I would have thought that trans-Atlantic passage on a ship went out decades ago but it's good to see that it's still an option.
The only flaw in the video (other than the brief glimpse of a White Sox logo) is the misstatement of a salmon dinner being "superb". I can only assume that was a typo of some sort as we all know that salmon is an awful, unnatural, detestable culinary abomination that not even God himself approves of. Just take a gander at Leviticus 11:9-12:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat -- except for salmon. That shite sucketh!
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you -- especially salmon, even though it has fins and scales it still makes the list of abominations.
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. In other words: NO SALMON!
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you; the exception being salmon, which has fins and scales but is still considered to be an abomination. I'm getting tired of repeating myself here folks. Get it through your heads -- NO SALMON!!!

Salmon is actually quite tasty though. Especially when barbequed in some single malt Scotch. Right @SciphonicStranger?
