  1. I don't know about cake. But rhum is most defiantly a major food group.The pyrate food pyramid recommends that everyone should consume copious amounts of rhum to maintain good health. Children and pregnant women are especially encouraged to drink large amounts of rhum each day to encourage genetic mutations that will enrich and diversify the human gene pool.
  2. I sometimes offer to let crew mates participate in a wholesale order. But I am always suspicious of a merchant that is unable to cough up the capitol for a minimum wholesale purchase. If you are out of stock what happened to the money from your sales?
  3. What kind of coffee beans are they? Arabica, Robusta, Klingon, etc?
  4. Without a doubt.This is the best pyrate movie directed by a hebephile, rapist, and Holocaust survivor whose wife was murdered by the Manson Family. But I still think that Woody Allen and his daughter-wife are much creepier. I really enjoyed the Ninth Gate BTW. Captain Polanski and the scurvy crew of the HMS Lolita .
  5. American school children are taught that the War Between The States was fought to free the slaves (lol). .
  6. There is always good old fashioned dice made from musket balls. Made of delicious lead.
  7. Firefly avatar! Woohooo!

  8. I will give that a try. But I will substitute a dry white rhum for the vodka.
  9. I don't think that she will be causing any problems in this forum. Warning people about her seems to be pretty effective.
  10. That wouldn't account for her multiple profiles, telling people that we are engaged, using childish & deceptive means to fish for information, trying to get me fired from the film I am currently working on, or threatening my former paramour.
  11. It seems that I have a little stalker problem. She seems very interested in tracking me down on various forums. I suspect that she is already a member of this forum as well. In the unlikely event that a new member starts sending private messages with questions about me. Please let me know.
  12. What about Foxe and the other Brits and Scots on here . . . ? Well......as long as they are not trying to tax us. I'm OK with the rest of the Brits on this board
  13. Damn the British (except for Peroshka, Nazi Steve, Chris B., Pete Townsend, and John Boorman) ! BANNED IN CHINA! When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident​, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,​ pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,​ all having in direct object the establishmen​t of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodatio​n of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representati​on in the Legislature,​ a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortabl​e, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representati​ve Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions​, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation​, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalizati​on of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriatio​ns of Lands. He has obstructed the Administrati​on of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing​ Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures​. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction​ foreign to our constitution​, and unacknowledg​ed by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:​ For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: For transporting​ us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring​ Province, establishing​ therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentall​y the Forms of our Governments:​ For suspending our own Legislatures​, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting​ large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstance​s of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners​ of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrection​s amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguis​hed destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantabl​e jurisdiction​ over us. We have reminded them of the circumstance​s of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity,​ and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,​ which would inevitably interrupt our connections and corresponden​ce. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinit​y. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representati​ves of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration,​ with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. — John Hancock New Hampshire: Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, Matthew Thornton Massachusett​s: John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Elbridge Gerry Rhode Island: Stephen Hopkins, William Ellery Connecticut:​ Roger Sherman, Samuel Huntington, William Williams, Oliver Wolcott New York: William Floyd, Philip Livingston, Francis Lewis, Lewis Morris New Jersey: Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon,​ Francis Hopkinson, John Hart, Abraham Clark Pennsylvania​: Robert Morris, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, John Morton, George Clymer, James Smith, George Taylor, James Wilson, George Ross Delaware: Caesar Rodney, George Read, Thomas McKean Maryland: Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton Virginia: George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson, Jr., Francis Lightfoot Lee, Carter Braxton North Carolina: William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, John Penn South Carolina: Edward Rutledge, Thomas Heyward, Jr., Thomas Lynch, Jr., Arthur Middleton Georgia: Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, George Walton
  14. I am not sure how it could ever be explained to me. But I have always been curious how Helen Keller's thought process worked before she grasped the concept of language.
  15. Huh? I-- I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!
  16. What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? .
