Nomadicalpirate

having the same problem as CCS, could someone give me the gist of it?

aye, was not that part of a book about the state of today's grammer usage? (and used again later as part of a magazine or tabloid artical that had been dumbed down for the unwashed masses)

The closest I've ever gotten to making piracy (and sailing tall ships) my daily life is asking for, and not getting, a job on the Bounty (III). They used to do reinactment cruises around the harbour, the crew all dressed up as pirates and whatnot. (they weren't making enough money, so now they do cruises to islands in the south pacific) they'd even throw the paying customers over the side to represent the famous Mutiny. ok, not really...maybe that's why they didn't want to give me the job all I can say is that i'm envious of you, damn envious. you might want to invest in some rubber ear-plugs though.

ah blondes, nothing like the smell of prejudice in the morning, ok. a blonde is walking along a country road and sees a farmer with a flock of sheep. she asks him "If i can tell you how many sheep you've got, will you let me have one?" smirking, he agrees. she studies the flock for several moments and then says "147, am i right?" stunned, the farmer nods. the blonde takes her pick of the sheep and says, "you promised me, and I choose this one" the farmer replies "I promised you a sheep, so kindly put down my dog"

first thing that comes to mind after reading all that? "You're nuts...you're all bloody nuts"

I'm not really sure what "Pirates of the burning sea" is, it seems to be a game that you play online, but more importantly, it has some pretty computer generated images of ships. maybe it's something you could all get into (or maybe you're already into it) either way, have a look at it.

well I'm here now, so here's the answers to mine "They envy my superiority. Bah!" (60s) is from "tonight i'll possess your corpse" "Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live." (50s) from Ben Hur. next.

you've all got such fine histories to your names, for me, Nomad is just my name, that's what all my friends call me, and there's no reason not to use it here.

Alright, I've got three for you. "We can't stop here!, This is bat country!" (90's) "They envy my superiority. Bah!" (60s) and "Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live." (50s) good luck folks.

That's impressive...damn impressive, but with a price tag like it would want to be. I wish our city had coughed up the gold for one of them rather than the plastic "thing" they've got outside the maritime museum, it'd be an icon rather than an eye-sore.

To the untrained tastebuds perhaps, but to a connoisseur of frozen foods such as myself, fishsticks have as many differences and quirks in flavour and texture as wine does to a rich english fellow.

It's in Ports o' call because i've got the brains of a stewed fish, If you know how to move it, be my guest.

I'm not a huge fan of computer games, good thing too as this machine can do little more than run the 'net and a 5 year old version of 'word'. However - I was tootling about the ol' shopping mall a few days back and saw an interesting little game for just $7. It goes by the title Sea Dogs and it's made by, according to the box in front of me, a company called "Bethesda Softworks" you are the infamous Captain Nick and you sail the archipelago looting(and working for) the French, Spanish, English and (of course) the Brotherhood of pirates! you can sail anything from a cannonless trading canoe to a 68 gun Man of War. I'll leave any more details for you to discover yourself. since i've paid more for a bad toasted sandwich i'd recommend it to everyone, even if your not much of a gamer.

Shiver me timbers! I'm not a fella to stick to rules, but I think I'll have to make one about eating food with "disney" on it...

you've all heard the stories, and i'm sure you've noticed the check box next to the word "Amputations" on your employment forms. But how many of us (you) have had serious injuries whilst upon the waters? it get's talked up alot in the galley/coffee room/shipping crate but the worst I've ever seen(as it happened) or experienced is perhaps being belted with a stray spar here and there. So tell us your tales of woe, anything greater than a broken finger will do.

Aye aye swabbies, I finds meself with some spare time nowadays and I needs a way to spend me gold. I've already got involved with VMX -eh, that's another tale. To the point then, i've caught word of a course that some group or another is offering for training in sailing a square rig, It sounds like a bit of fun, and when the salt and sunshine finally get to me and I steal a tallship from the harbour i'm sure it will come in handy, but before I rush into it wearing my best hat and my fancy vest, has anyone else done one of these courses?

The version of that I heard was the same but the last two lines are "The blind man went to see fair play, The dumb man went to shout hoo-ray!" The on in my sig. is from PlaySchool.

HIPS! nice healthy child-bearing hips! everytime I see either a woman trying to accentuate hips she doesn't have, or hide hips that she does have, I want to beat her with the nearest heavy object. (Though usually I just scowl, I usually *try* to obey the law) Other than that, big cartoony eyes, well shaped shoulders and legs that DON'T look unnaturally long.

fleas, rats and disease aside. at least in those times a handsome, strong, but "Formally" uneducated fellow, like myself, would at least have no trouble finding a woman and work. I've oft pondered the bathing thing. though the richer folk must do as fashion dictates. couldn't the poorer folk jump about in water whenever they damned well felt like it? (assuming water was available)

aye, that'll happen to the best of them. "Captain Scar was, as always, a fearsome sight. A great hulking brute of a man with not only a genuine big bushy black beard but also a genuine rusty iron hook for a hand. His eyepatch and pegleg were both false, but there's a fine line between being fearsome and being seriously mutilated" From some book or another. Who woulda thought, I can read!

The story as told to me included "Satanist" If I had heard wiccan I wouldn't of mentioned it, I know plenty people who are into Wicca, both legitimately, and in a make-it-up-as-you-go way. I don't want to embarress myself here, but as far as I can tell Wicca is more a way of life, with a little bit of candle burning and prayer thrown in. This whole satanist thing had crap about the "anti-bible" or somesuch, so I assume it's just some farce to suck in malcontent kids by telling them God is trying to stop them from having fun and ruin their lives. point of interest: Flicking through the ol' good book, chapter 22 of Exodus, .if he have nothing, then he shall be solf for his theft. seems to say, if you catch a thief, and he can't pay you back at least 4 times what he stole, you can sell him into slavery. God loves everyone :angry:

I am passionate about history, boating and my woman. I know little or nothing of modern religion (though I can hold my own in an argument about historical religion/s) So if you think I have misrepresented something, you are probably right. I'm just re telling what was told to me. It is Arn't or Are not. Just some advice from an ignorant person (For the pedants. Either the sentence should be re-arranged, or there should be a comma) I also study semantics and social behaviours. So if you wish to discuss this further you can email me at Blackreadingkid@pyracy.com and we can expand our minds together. **Don't worry about the end of the world, It is already tommorow in australia**

I heard about a man in the navy who is a satanist, and due to satanism being a registered faith the law dictates that he is allowed to perform his religious rituals at work, and that he can't be fired on basis of religion. Must be interesting out at sea playing war-games when during the night-watch some guy is out on the deck sacrificing a black goat and chanting to the dark gods.

To cap'n Alex. I'd be willing to post you a copy of the M I collection (sorry, "Backup copy") but some time last year i leant them to a "friend" and despite repetitive questioning and phone calls, i've never seen them since. About pirate games. I've never had a computer capable of playing high tech games, but I played "Redguard", and whilst not exactly piratey you do get to walk around looting and killing things with a sabre. Damn ye bilge-drinking swine! with all yer comp-yu-tahs and tech-no-whiz! one day, when i'm wealthy and glorious, I will buy one of them new computers and I WILL watch videos with it, and I WILL use the net without crashes and I WILL do all those other things that people spend time doing... (sure I will, sometime between buying my dream boat and becoming sexiest man of the year )

Be careful what you kid about. If you write that down on paper, and hide it in a couple of places, you'll confuse the crap out of people 200 years from now.
