| #8 O. My. Gawd. Those rooms give a whole new meaning to the words "tacky-ass, low-class, and trashy." Yeesh. |

| #7 Looks like it's intended more as a final retreat for the chased-out-of-power thugs than as a military vessel. |

| #5 Mullah I'm old and I'm from Florida. Tacky as hell is my home. I would pay serious money to stay in the Gobbler if it was still around. |

| #3 The Gobbler was tacky as h*ll. Food was really good years ago (if you could stand the surrounding colors), but got worse as the facility deteriorated. I believe the bar (a weird treat in itself) lasted sometime after the restaurant shut down and long after the guest rooms were uninhabitable. It IS Wisconsin, don't you see, and some things are more important than others. Mr. Lileks does have a nice collection of early and later photos. Brought back a memory or two. |

| #1 Plush. How long would it take the PLA-Navy to refurb the Kiev into a working carrier? You know, if they wanted to. |
