I did a look back and didn't see a topic on this, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Things are kinda' slow here... What are your favorite movies? I think you can tell a lot about a person by the movies they like. I'm going to suggest you stretch beyond the movie POTC, since many people have a bias there ("Yes, we know that one. Anything else?"). Here are a whole slew of mine: Animal House (IMHO, Tim Matheson is second only to John Goodman as far as being underrated as an actor.) Back to the Future ("Ah... Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?!) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari ("...") Casablanca Cool Runnings Goldfinger The Good, The Bad…

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time…

I went into work today, and had people looking at me saying, you don't need to be here, go home... So, I went and found my supervisor and asked what was going on. He told me that we're keeping only the top performers on the floor today, and since your SPH (sales per hour) is not the highest, you don't have to work until Tuesday. Now, keep in mind this happened to ALOT of people, not just me, but now my check that I was counting on being big, with all of the overtime I did, is now gonna be $150 short~!!!!@$@$^ Life is wierd and sucky.

The pirate excuse is when a pirate says something terribly offensive and says "Pirate" with one or two thumbs pointed directly at themselves. What was the best/worst thing you got away with because you used the pirate excuse?

Other than the obvious, checking out the pub, what else are you doing? I'm watching the news, all crazy stuff about deaths, car accidents, the hurricane stuff and so on.

Many of us on here use nicknames for the screen name. Some of them it's pretty obvious what the real name is, like mine. Yup, it be Christine. No surprises there-lol! So, iffn' ye want to reveal yer real name, go ahead. And no, ye don't have to give yer last name. Some of you know my last name, it be Johnson. Such a common name, I know.

Can't believe the sensitivity of some businessmen and politicians. What the hell are they thinking? Subject: Wind Farm Behind the French Castle Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:12:14 -0400 Old Fort Niagara needs your help. The New York Power Authority proposes to install a wind farm off the Lake Ontario shore directly behind the 1726 French Castle. See the link below. The first step in opposing this intolerable affront to the Fort's historical character will come on next Tuesday evening (7/27) when we have asked the Niagara County Legislature to adopt a resolution opposing Power Authority's plan. We do not oppose wind power, only the construction of these mass…

Not sure how many of you have viewed or follow "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery Channel but these past couple of episodes have been rather emotional. They've been following the last days of late Phil Harris, Captain of the Cornilia Marie. Tuesday will be the 2 hour farewell episode to this amazing Captain of the Berring Sea. He has the wisdom and callous of a well seasoned pirate captain with a great respect for the sea. The episodes have been just as rough as the Berring Sea itself but they have been well worth watching in honor and respect for the late Berring Sea Captain. ~Lady B

http://www.760kfmb.com/Global/story.asp?S=12829620 (Story from above link is below) Man falls to death off Star of India By News 8's Steve Price (7/18/10) SAN DIEGO, Calif. (CBS 8) - There was tragedy at the Star of India Sunday, when a volunteer working on the ship fell about 40 feet and died. Witnesses say Greg Gushaw was up in the sails when he fell, hit his head on the ship and landed in the water. Fellow crew members quickly got him out of the water and CPR was started, but Gushaw was pronounced dead at the hospital. Gushaw was taking part in a training operation at the time designed to get everyone up to speed for a sail this November. The president of the M…

And now for a completely random new topic for which everyone has been waiting on tenterhooks. Let's start with an overlooked gem, Tom Tom Tomcat. (It's a gem IMO - mostly because of the version of Raymond Scott's "War Dance for Wooden Indians" over the last minute or so.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBiOzYCpcGk (Tenterhook: A hooked nail for securing cloth on a tenter.)

Last week Cleveland OH played host to the Tall Ships Festival. Cleveland is also host to the USS Cod Submarine Memorial. An old college friend of mine volunteers at the Cod, and the submarine saluted the ships as they came in. Scott informs me they used a blend of welding gas and oxygen in the sub's 5 inch desk gun, instead of shells. (Tthat gun's about 60 years old, and *I* wouldn't trust it with shells, blank or live...and I'm not entirely sure I'd trust Scott with any sort of ammo). I've requested permission and received it to post this Youtube clip for all of us to enjoy...

I found this link on another forum, but figured that others may find it interesting.... OK... the links don't load quite right (when the first one is done, just wait and the next should load)..... but it is a TV series about people that like to dress up.... (hey... we do that as Pyrates...) and they handle the different groups without getting snarky about it.... cool http://current.com/shows/the-current-countdown/92367212_dressed-for-action-part-1.htm Chaps (guys that like to dress up "nicely"), Super Heroes, LARPers, Animie, and cross dressers (the High heal/Drag race is kinda funny...)
