A "Nantucket Sleighride" was the result of harpooning a whale. The ship subsequently was dragged behind the whale by a line running from the harpoon to the ship. The Nantucket Sleighride would continue until the whale died, the line broke, or the ship sank.
After harpooning the whale, the good ship "Alabaster" was taken on a Nantucket Sleighride for nearly an hour.

Get the nankurunaisa mug.A place where a majority of the Nanuet high schoolers do pot after school, Where you'll see some meat heads and airhead cheerleaders hooking up and catching incredible diseases from each other. Nanuet senior high school composes of 700 assholes, whores, freaks, geeks etc. When a rumor gets heard by one person, it gets heard by over 400 kids overnight, rumors spread fast in Nanuet. Where freshmen and sophomores think they are cool wearing their dumb ass colorful bracelets up to their shoulders and the upperclassmen just waiting for those kids to get beat up, but no one will because we're all pussies to stand up for what we want to say. Though we all might say we hate Nanuet, once we all leave for college we will miss our poor high school that can barely afford planners and the lame Nanuet mall that no one ever visits, except for parking when the Nanuet carnival comes to town!

Get the nantucket nutback mug.Nantucket is basically a small island off the coast of Massachusetts.
Nantucket is a beautiful summer vacation spot (although the locals who live there are also very nice!). Many Upper Class families from the Main Line, Connecticut, several other east-coast Upper Class regions, and (surprisingly) California.
Despite what most people have said, the families who vacation there do NOT get drunk all the time (although older teens tend to throw amazing parties). They go to Nantucket for peace and quite to get away from work and school.
The Nantucket town is rather small, but is easy to get to from any side of the island. The town is equipped with places to eat (the Boarding House, the Pearl, Rope Walk etc...) the Toy Boat (toy store), a Stop + Shop (grocery store), a local library, Force 5 Water Sports, and several small boutiques.
Alter Rock is the highest point on the island and is located in the center of the Moors (grasslands). Alter Rock is often biked to and is a popular attraction.
Nantucket is an amazing place to be during the summer.

Get the Nantucket mug.There once was a man from Nantucket
Who's dick was so long he could suck it.
He said with a grin, as he wiped of his chin,
If my ear was a pussy, I'd fuck it.
