破釜沉舟
That’s Chinese isn’t it? Sure is. In ancient China, General Xiang Yu ordered his troops to cross a river and upon reaching the other side “break the kettles and sink the boats”. His men would only have three days’ worth of food and no means of escape. Win the battle in three days’ time or die in the attempt. The boats are sunk.
We here at Sink the Boat are doing just that. The bridge is on fire, the dice is rolling out of the hand, and the Rubicon is in sight. We don’t believe in a point of no return, but we present a line to tip-toe on. Or stomp on. Whatevs.
I am certain that with our collective energies and my powerful chin-guns, this boat stands little chance against us.
Unless it has some string onboard!
Also, because I’m kinda a dick, I feel obliged to point out that the image in the masthead is clearly a ship and not a boat. Ugh, such AMATEURS!
Are you telling me that Google lied to me when I performed an image search for “Sink the Boat”?
Yes, it appears the seamen are boarding lifeboats as the ship sinks. The rule of thumb is that it’s not the absolute size of the vessel, but ships carry boats. Boats don’t carry other boats on them (why submarines are also called boats, never ships).
