  1. Thank you Christine, alot of folks seem to forget 1981 and temps of 120 in Anaheim Hills, CA. Then again al Gore wasn't trying to bilk money from the rubes back then either. RumbaRue, Elect. Bill $403.00, next month expect an increase of 10 to 300% depending on your district. SCE gotta gouge us too ya know. They've gotta cover their almost criminal neglect of our power grid.

  5. Neither collar nor crown, them's me words ta live by. I be born to a successful, honorable father and fisherman and a lovely slip of a lady, me Ma. The bloody red coats, they come in the dark ya know, sneekin like cats looking fer a mouse. I be thirteen at the time, not really a strappin lad, but enough to take a red coat round the bend if needed. The buggers nere let us a chance to fight. They surrounded our house and demanded me Da come forward. The cowards shot him as he walked to meet them face to face. I took to flight with me Ma and lil brother and we watched from the field as the lobster backed bastards set upon our house like the plague taking all they wanted and burning the rest. Me Da was loyal to his bloody highness but nere a shred of justice was to be seen! My uncle took the case before the magistrate that gave no more than shrug and tisk tisk. We made our way to the Carolinas and there we took room and board with me Ma's family, I couldn't wait no more. I snuck out, went to the port and signed articles with the first loud mouthed separatist Captain I could find. His name was Greeley. Greeley, the coward, didn't last too long, he left ship in the middle of the night although we be three days to sea. I joined the mutineers and we voted to go on the "account". We elected Asher as our captain and in short order renamed the ship " The Crossbow". She was fast, but a bit to small for the guns we be wanting to mount so our first order of business was to set into port and commandeer a more suitable ship. Capt. Asher knew exactly where we would find more suitable transportation. Virginia was our next port. In short order we came upon a well provisioned, well gunned merchantman of unknown origin. The crew spoke in a strange toung, one I nere heard afore. They be smugglers I guessed and that night while the ship lay in port and most the crew were on shore call, we climbed the anchor lines and easily took control. The remaining eight men onboard readily took to our cause and off we went. The Crossbow and our new flagship, The Consuela. She sported 14 guns and when the sheets filled, she moved through the water like corn through a goose! The Consuela, now called " The Crow" was my home for nigh on more years than I can remember. Being I could read and write I became the surgeon and learned more 'bout how a man gets disassembled than I ever wanted. And that's where you find me now, drinking away the memories of the lessons I learned first hand. I return to my family on occasion, delivering monies and swag to help 'em along, and found my brother has taken a commission from his royal pain-in-the-highness as a privateer for the crown! God help me.
  6. It sounds like a nautical term for "conscription"
  7. Ya know, I got a little bent at the prospect of someone using these sayings for their business, but I just saw a sign at a hand-made jewlery cart that said, " sure, you could do it, but would you" . seemed to make sence.
