    Many and varied. From poetry and lyrics, to beenin' with me mates at the pub. But most times it be spendin' time wit me own family. Me wife and me daughter take me time, and it's time well spent I be tellin' ya. Blackie be a single scallywag, but in r/l I be a family man through and through. So there's all I be tellin' ye nosey types for now. If ye be wantin' more come see me in the tavern and buy me an ale.
  1. Upon hearing 'bout the trouble in the pub involvin' me mates I grabs the scariest scallywags from me crew 'board the Red Hand and make for the pub. We crashes into the pub. "What be goin' on in here!!!" says I. Behind meself I bring two lads who look more like trees then men who are always sayin' "NI!!!" Another French lad who can taunt like nobody's business. A rather tall man carrying a very menacing banana. And the scariest of the lot, a used boat salesman wearing a very loud plaid jacket. I looks 'ver at me mate Mad Jack and sees the dish rack that he be tied to. Me eyes grow wide like. "Ximinez!!!! Ye scurvy dog!! I be rememberin' that dish rack. That be the one ye tied me to two years past. And now I be seakin' me revenge." says I. Though I not be seein' him straight off I be knowin' he's 'round. "Use the grapes, use the grapes." The tall fella wit the banana be tellin' me. I holds up one hand and starts to count off just how many there be on the other side so to speak. "Let's see here, 1,2,3,4,5,err 6?" I says countin' the six fingers on me one hand. All o sudden like one of the men dressed in a red robe (not Ximinez) come at the tall one wit the banana wit a cornflower blue seat cushion. The tall one let loose o the rope he be holdin' (where it came from I dinna know) and a 16 ton weight falls on the robed man. "Ah, that be showin' him lad." Says I. The French lad looks 'ver at Inigo Montoya and says, "yoor madder was a carbuncle, and yoor fadder smeelt of turtle droppings." At first I be thinkin' I sees a tear in Montoya's eye, and a half crouch into the fetal position. But this Montoya be a strong one and held up under the pressure of the French mans taunts. "Take who'ver ye please lads, but Ximinez is mine." says I.
  2. I agree. No matter what was said Zidane should have let it slide. It was obvious what Materazzi was trying to do. Zidane shouldn't have played right into Materazzi's hands like that. No one will ever know whether or not this cost the French the cup, but it sure didn't help. Zidane has played long enough to know better. For those who didn't see it..... `Blackie`
  3. Syd Barrett, the troubled Pink Floyd co-founder who spent his last years in reclusive anonymity, has died, the band said Tuesday. He was 60. Rest in Peace Syd.

  5. You are 58% Taoist You are a Novice Monk / Nun in the Temple of Tao. You have selected the Taoist path, but need to get serious about your education in its philosophy and applications. You have already shown quite a few Taoist tendencies and have great potential! Damn, always a bridesmaid, never a bride. `Blackie`
  6. I'll start by saying, this is not that big of a deal. I've found in most forums that the reader tends to think that the writer is making a bigger deal of "it" than it really is. When in fact the writer is usually just stating opinion. Usually it's the reader who then becomes the poster that ends up taking it to far by reading more into a post than is there, and responds with guns blazing with their short fuses. Now with that said, if you, JoshuaRed, have been following what I've been saying in this thread then you'd know that the title of the thread in question is, IMO, the same as someone sitting behind you in a theatre telling their friend "Hey, watch this, a good part is coming up." Maybe not a spoiler per se, but annoying none the less to the people in front of the talker. And usually it's annoying the talkers friends just as much. It's a spoiler in that something that was supposed to be a surprise, or get a reaction out of the viewer, has lost that element to it to a certain extent, because now it's expected. These directors, writers, and actors worked very hard to get that reaction from the viewers, and now it's been lost. Film is an art form. And as such it should be viewed as the artist intended. Whatever is at the end of the credits of this movie, it was intended as a little surprise for those who stick around to the end. So no, it was not a "friendly tip." It was that annoying jerk behind you saying, "hey a good part is coming up", as if the people next to him, and anyone else within hearing distance, aren't watching the same movie he is. And please, you don't have to concern yourself if I get disappointed that there is nothing at the end of the credits of a movie. Trust me I'll live. `Blackie`
