Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 05, 2017

I think you have to wear an ascot.

You can have swimming pool on your yacht.

Rich people buy yachts because having an inner tube that’s bigger than everyone else’s is not as cool.

Don’t forget about the “Trump Princess”.

Ahnd, your get to look down on awther people.

You get elected U.S. president

You know you’re rich when your yacht is so big you’re taking up the mooring space of twenty “low-life-not-enough-money-lazy-workers” boats and know that it is your dollar given right.

Azzam (Arab. “resolute”) is a private yacht built by Lürssen Yachts. Azzam was launched on 5 April 2013 at 180 metres (590 ft) in length as the largest private motor yacht in the world. It has a beam of 20.8 m (68’4") and an unusually shallow draft of 4.3 m (14’1"). Among many other features, the yacht has a main salon with a length of 29 m and a beam of 18 m with an open plan and no pillars. Carrying a submarine and her own missile defense system, it will still travel in excess of 32 knots powered by a combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines with a total power output of 70 MW (94,000 hp) through four pump-jets, two of which are non-movable round water outlets in the middle of the stern, and two with thrust vectoring capabilities using moveable duct water outlets positioned on either side of the non-movable ones. The yacht was delivered on 9 September 2013. At an estimated cost of US $605M, it costs about $100M more than the second largest private motor yacht, Eclipse.

Azzam was commissioned by Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates. The yacht is currently listed for charter without the price. According to Motor Boat & Yacht magazine, the yacht is not available for charter, and the charter listing, similar to Roman Abramovich’s Eclipse, is aimed to avoid European taxation (charter yachts are exempt from property tax).

One thing for sure: Whoever invented the phrase “A rising tide lifts all boats.” undoubtedly owned a boat.

Reminds me of the Dweezil Zappa song, “I Want A Yacht” with Bobcat Goldthwait “singing”.

Wait, isn’t Frazz supposed to be rather rich, having “retired” as a songwriter and living off the royalties? (Hence the fact that he’s donating his time as a school janitor, while still being able to afford high end bikes/running gear)

Nobody wants to be rich? How many lotto tickets were purchased just this month?

Not rich, just wealthy enough to pay all bills and not want for the necessities is rich enough for me.

All I want is to have enough and to not have to worry.

I would love to have what Night gaunt and Quiet storm want. Plus moving to South America.

And nothing looks quite as doofus as and ascot
