Yo-ho-ho and a three year old thread. I was just about to head out the door to get my Southern Cross (The Australian Flag one, not the Eureka one) inked into me (Is it original? Hell no, but it's all very patriotic to me, and while I've never managed to actually navigate without a compass, I can always lie and say I use it to find my way) and I figured I'd drop back to this ancient haunt of mine to ask if there was any lore I needed to know about where a tattoo ought to be placed? Is Pynch still around? Yes? No? Anyone else who might know?

That's never shut me up before

I won't deny that women in management may have a positive effect on the workplace I won't confirm that they do either. I simply wouldn't know, I have never worked under a female employer. But lists like these -Women executives are more likely to consult with others - experts, employees and fellow business owners - when developing strategies. -Women executives have a greater natural tendency to deal comfortably with multitasking. -Women executives have fewer competitive tendencies and often seek a cooperative approach. -Women executives tend to focus on the big picture when making important business decisions or developing strategies. -Women executives stress relationship building as well as fact gathering. -Women executives are more likely to talk through business approaches and incorporate the ideas of others before making final decisions. Are A ) Falling into that category of bullshit generalisations. and B ) Make me suspect the author has yet to speak to a woman.

My way (That's you on top and me with a bottle! Harr! )

Ayeah? There be no denying it, I approve of axes wholeheartedly. But I been bloody framed I have! I dinnae make this thread? wassa going on here? There be wickedness afoot, Where be that site administrator? I'll have his legs!

Harr! It be spring! the birds be chirping (too damn bloody early mind you!) The sun be shining (that's a bloody lie! damnable rain! Arr! ) I been out on yonder lake, Harr! Arr But I got's the Hay-fever. I been drinking my Scurvy-be-gone (aka. V8 Juice), I've been eating me greens, I been cooking my meat right through and the bloody butterflies gets me! Arr! I'll not be thwarted by Nature! Harr!

Ach Damn I was nigh tempted to press on thar one with those big bloody words! Experimental Anthropologist. I just knows it means something dirty! I be a bloody entertainer I am! Aye, even by bloody death (Hah! they'll nay ever catch me!) will be a bloody spectacle! everyone loves a hangin'!

I can nae read, so I'd be guessing if I said I knew what lies these lot be feeding you. Ye gots ta get yeself some good plain hats (Rabbit felt makes for good 'uns) And do tha customisin' with yer own bleeding hands! Go wrangle a parrot for some of them purty feathers, then go cut a wee strip of hide off of a shark or other fearsome beast for other decorations. Go find some roadkill Don't eat it ya goon! Get some o' them maggoty whatsits to eat off all that tasty flesh, and adorn ye new hat (and anything else you've got) with bird/small mammal skulls. Money can't buy that kind of deco, and they sure make for a good talking point (and a chance to tell some bloody mighty lies! )

He be damned right! Cutlass be for, well, the bloody Lasses! Nothing says stinking, cheating, rotten, no good PIRATE! like a good axe! Ye smack that down in front of ye enemies nose and they knows you means business! Eh Aye. They also open canned food in a spectacular fashion

Do they still make/sell this Pirates of the Crimson Coast? p'raps i'll look for it.

Well, bugger me, I'm listening to Weird Al. and the word is...Glock.

Criminy, that one from LeatherWorks sets all kinds of avaricious fires alight within me. though at $770.00 (that's about $1200.00 down here) it's more than every other piece of clothing I own, this computer and all my books put together. And someone who DID have that kind of money just laying around probably wouldn't have the taste to wear it!

I only mentioned monopoly in that money is involved. Also, does anyone know any good 'sailing' rules? Perhaps this should be moved to Rabble Rousing, it would get more input and become more of a board project. Edit: so the board is a grid, with pretty little pictures of islands and whatnot on it. you have a Ship. (for experimental purposes, I'm using my little boats from the Regatta board game) I'm only early in my pirating career, so it's a wee little ship, some sort of sloop perhaps. it has 8 12lb guns (4 to a side) which, for the moment have a range of 1-6 grid-squares. (you roll each time you fire) and do 1-6 damage (again, roll each time you fire) and my wee little boaty can take, oh, 100 hits? that is, it would take a minimum of 17 hits at full damage from a 12lb to sink it. or 9 hits from 18lb(2 dice). or 6 from 24lb.(3 dice) that seems fair enough? And i've still got to figure out Moving, and how to do Boardings. Edit 2: I'm figuring to have around 10 possible ships. from brigs to mighty frigates.. Edit 2a: does anyone have a copy of Risk rules they can be bothered to type out?

I'm considering making a table-top pirate game. I say "considering" because I'm infamous for rarely ever finishing these projects. Does anyone remember the board game 'Risk'?, I'm thinking along those lines, but with ships and so on... If anyone has any ideas or other input, that would be grand. And if I do actually make it, I'll write it all up so you can print it off and play it with your kiddies or if you havn't got any, make it a drinking game, every time you sink a frenchman have some rum. (or a bacardi, if you're one of *those* people) Edit: forget I mentioned Risk. think more like monopoly, you start with some money, buy some ships, kill some things, get more ships, until everyone but you is dead. Riskopoly.

Tito.

crocodile tears

What are you eating/thinking/listening to, Is there really such a lack of good things to talk about? It's possible this could turn into an interesting discussion on the merits of a variety of edibles, but I suspect it will be merely be an excercise in banality. Tuna.

I'm more of a "WOW! Guybrush and Will are both blonde!" kinda person, rather than a "All theatre is merely a visual representation of mankinds need for realisation of primal ambitions" or some other confusing thing with big words. *************** Vitamans and coffee make me immortal! at least, that's what I'm thinking at 8 in the morning.

I was just looking up something on Wikipedia (Fabulous creation that, probably the best thing to come out of the internet) and I followed some links and eventually ended up at Guybrush Threepwood, where it mentions a similarity between Guybrush and Will Turner from POTC, what an absolutely fascinating thought! Don't everybody say "Well I already thought of THAT!" I have not played Monkey Island since it came out in the early 90s and I was a wee teen. though the website writes "somewhat unlikely due to possible copyright infringement lawsuits", you never can tell what might of inspired the creation of a character. and as my old drama teacher used to say,(hey, I'm already remembering back to Monkey Island, why stop there?) "There is no such thing as original thought"

erh, A: I am not afraid! B: You will be, you will be.

Something with Will Smith in it. Independence Day?

Potato chips.

I hate to do this, I really do, but I've got a serious issue with this, and I can't afford the counselling to fix it. did you actually see it in November or just "like" see it? ie. something similar, and possibly in October? 13 years of schooling and they can't teach these damn kids english. I enjoy being a miserable, bigoted, misanthropic bastard. Probably more than you enjoy being carefree and open-minded.

of course, once you get yourself a shiny new lover-boy, he'll be giving off all these pheromones DS de la V keeps yakking about, and all the girls will be trying to catch his eye away from you. oh it be a vicious cycle. good luck with your man-catching, but don't boast about it until he's handcuffed to your bed, can't let him be the one that got away. ********************* I only just noticed these "post icons", look at that little bastard, he's just having the time of his damn life isn't he?

at this very moment on a beach not far from here a girl is asking "don't you trust me?" Where I come from, that is NOT something you do with your mate. Let us hope he never reads this.
