On page 50 of "Pirates and Patriots of the American Revolution" is a weekly menue for "victuals" for the typical privateersmen. Sunday: Beef and Pudden Monday:Pork and pease Tuesday:"Missing entry" Wednesday: Beef Thursday: Beef Friday: Pork and Beans Saturday: Salt Fish There was always "lobscouse" where dried potatos, salt beef or pork and peas where hashed together to form a type of stew, or "salamugundi" which was the sea-food equivilant of the above substituting fish for the beef or pork.

I was just reminded about GWAR Originaly it was used in body recovery missions and stood for Gather Weapons and Radios We kinda changed it to Get wallet and rolex

fingers and toes

Yep, my first was a piece of brass from a .308 Winchester round that failed and exploded. got me in the right ear too. I guess I would be considered gay by the standards posted above. That's really gonna piss my wife off.

Quota

Not in my opinion.

I fully agree, my limmited knowledge comes from questions that I research the answers to. Internet, books, movies, ect. I still can't seem to locate the timeline for the question posed here though. but so far I can guestimate that it happened later in the 19th century. That seems to be the time the design was modified to incorperate the internal spool to eliminate the the need for a second man to tend to the loose spool of cord. still workin' on it

Hi folks, I found a site that shows two different types of serving mallets and a brief description of their use: Please check: nautical repair equipment near the bottom of the page The use I'm familiar with is to worm, parcel and serve a splice in ropes, cable, ect. Worming was to lay a small filler cord into the grooves on a larger cable or rope to give a more even, round size and eliminate pockets between the parceling and the cable. Parceling was when tarred paper or canvas strips were wrapped around the cable securing the worming. this was done much like wrapping electrical cables with vinyl tape. Serving was to wrap the entire length of the splice with a smaller cord to secure everything else and add strength to the splice. worm and parcel with the lay, but always serve the other way.

Oh yea, just discovererd that while inflating a rubber matress, stay away from the car exaust pipe >>>>> BOOM>>>>>> My ears are still ringing and the pop set off my neighbors car alarm.

You'd be surprised how often that happens, my wife is a classically trained singer and loses her composure at karaoke. Maybe its because your expected to be like the original performer instead of "owning" the piece. Did that make any sense?

Satiated

Dang, that put the hair up on the back of neck, I remember that episode, ok, add another irrational fear to the list. Check out "Jeff Dunham, Arguing with myself" he's and incredible and funny ventriloquist, nothing to fear from him.

duct tape..... I think i've used this 3 times now in this thread

just a note, I haven't found any change significant in the the mallet from the GAOP and today. Mostly just construction material

a boy dressed as a pirate walks into a store: the lady behind the counter says: "My you look ferocious, where are your buccaneers"? The kid looks at her and says:" Under my bucking hat lady" Sorry...... no really...... ok......... maybe just a little...... naw, not really

I've just taken some pictures at the Irvine Regional Park with the same effect. A good breeze was blowing at the time and this one peticular pictue showed many of the qualities that this pic showed. Still ,cool though.

I'm sorry, could you please explain "liquefaction" in the context it being used here. Conjecture: I think you mean that the ground was shaken in such a way that it took on the characteristics of liquid, allowing objects to sink straight down rather than topple.

i still have a fear of Mimes, I have no Idea why.
