Re: Abandon Ship
The crew have a responsibility to help their passengers. Even in a dangerous situation like that.

Re: Abandon Ship
Well I'm not sure on the various laws of the different countries, but it is my understanding that the crew of any transport vehicle have a responsibility for their passengers safety and well being.
The other week, the bus I was on broke down in the middle of nowhere on a motorway. We were stuck there for hours. I asked the driver to let me off the bus for a smoke and he wouldn't let me and started spouting off about his responsibilities.

Wouldn't leave them in charge of a rowing boat on the local park lake.

Re: Abandon Ship
After 4000 plus posts you are the first one to point out the deliberate mistake.
I used to love the wacky racers, maybe cos I used to be one myself.
Unfortunately I just plod along steady away these days.

Re: Abandon Ship
Well given Dick Dastardly's horrible luck, it seems fitting. Half the time the others were just as bad as him, but he was the bad guy. FYI, you can buy the complete wacky racers collection on dvd for about a tenner. My fiancee found out that it made an excellent Christmas present.
