Monty Python Spam Song Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag. Man: You sit here, dear. Wife: All right. Man: Morning! Waitress: Morning! Man: Well, what've you got? Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam; Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam... Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam. Wife: Have you got anything without spam? Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it. Wife: I don't want ANY spam! Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage? Wife: THAT'S got spam in it! Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it? Vikings: Spam spam spam spam...

This be valid and I be goin! Andre and Piranha are setting this up. -Greydog

There is a new on line PIRATE Role Play Game (now adays called an MMO) coming out in January. However, you can play the beta now for free if you are a member of the on line site called File Planet. Here be a link to the game site: http://piratesoftheburningsea.station.sony.com/ I have played it for just a day now, but it is very fun and has a good pirate feel and some historical trivia. You have a character that you move about on land, but each player commands their own ship and you get a ship when you first start to play (don't have to earn it.) For anybody that played Star Wars Galaxies before SOE ruined the game, this game appears to have the same functions as the old Star Wars Galaxies Game, i.e. player crafted items, combat based on key selection rather than point and click. Bad news is the game is going live hosted by the true pirates- SOE, so who knows how long the fun part of the game will last until SOE dumbs it down to 8 year olds.

In the interest of keeping this thread alive. the answer was - Purple Heart starring Dana Andrews. The movie was a fictionalized account about the Doolittle Raid Crew that was captured by the Japanese. In the case of the real crew part of the crew was executed by the Japanese for "war crimes", 24 hours after the conclusion of their one day "trial" that was little more than a public berating them for bombing Japan. Back to the movie- The movie is a good example of a World War II propaganda movie churned out by the studios over the war years. Since, tomorrow is Pearl Harbor Day, it seemed a somewhat relevant movie for a quote. Well, nobody got it, please anybody go ahead and list a new quote, goodluck!

Yes, the movie is about the Doolittle Raid. It is a 20th Century Fox release. Trivia point is that it is directed by the same director that directed "All Quiet on the Western Front".

It's a movie set in WWII and was released in 1944

Since we are doing long quotes: You can kill us. All of us, or part of us. But if you think that's going to put the fear of god into the United States of America, and stop them from sending other flyers to bomb you, you're wrong. Dead wrong. They'll come by night, they'll come by day. Thousands of them. They'll blacken your skies and burn your cities to the ground and make you get down on your knees and beg for mercy. This is your war. You wanted it. You asked for it. You started it. And now you're going to get it. And it won't be finished until your dirty little empire is wiped off the face of the earth.

Welcome aboard , Matey! Now, if ye really wants the true welcome experience, ye need to be openin yer purse and buyin a round for the lads at the bar. Not that I'd be askin fer meself. No, that would be greed sure enough, I merely wish to endorse new found comradship and seal it with a drink doncha know. -Greydog

State Parks lowers their colors! The State just announced that it will delay adopting these standards, because it is now going to revise the rules, and will have the entire issue considered in open hearings before a final policy is adopted. Yarr, all them thar things they should have done to begin with! They were a might distressed with the phone calls and letters from the public and having to deal with inquiries from the State Assembly. Makes ye feel good when the system works. The war isn't over, but we certainly won the first battle, and the future can be bright if we stick to our guns. -Greydog

Halloween is already banned in our local school district because it’s offensive to some religious groups. (If candy to children challenges your religion, ya’ll got a bigger problem than Halloween.) That's exactly why, like in this current reenactment ban proposal, that people have to stand up and be counted. All you have to do to lose the things you love is nothing.

Ahoy Lass and welcome! Ye be 100 miles from the Canadian border? So, ye be in Russia then! Dasvedanya, Comrade -Greydog Yaaar, me naviagtor be tellin me that Alaska has done been bought by the US. When did that happen? We need to get to port more often. Maybe it be Greenland and she's Danish? What do ya mean Greenland is more than 100 miles from Canada? Look at this er map its no more than a couple of inches at most. Well, ye be welcome regardless and a fine addition ye be! Drinks all around!

You must have some Donner Kebab while you are there! The prision of "Midnight Express" express fame was allegedly in Izmir, Turkey. I don't know if they had any shots of it in the movie. Anyway, that's what I was told in broken English by a Turk, he was. I could be wrong as me Turkish is limited to yes, no, OK, & two beers. Yea know, I be in Izmir for a year one time, I was. Avast ye, I be not in the prision! Those charges were dropped I tell you, lawful trading on the high seas, it t'weren't anything else. Them thar goods had been abandoned. As soon as I produced evidence the goods were from a Greek ship, the Turks dropped all the charges, them bein the darlin's that they are. -Greydog

Ye got permission to be walkin the plank. That be overboard enough fer ye? My how polite this one be! Har is to laugh! Welcome aboard lad. Now, how about buyin some drinks? -Greydog

What they lack is a plank to be a walkin! P.S. Joking aside, thank all of you that have sent letters in support.

A few years ago, when coming back to the US we went through customs. We were using military ID cards instead of passports. The Customs Agent saw my ID card and rank and waved me through with a prompt "I hope you had a nice trip sir!" He looked briefly at my wife's card and added "I hope your daughter enjoyed her trip too!" -Greydog

I think that be makin ye Canadian, eh? Of, course there could be Canadian pyrates of course. They'd just be so polite, flyin their Maple Leaf and Cross Bones! -Greydog (just havein fun with ye and them Canadians, no offense intended.)

An interesting observation on that photo: One turkey, three turkey necks.

Automatic weapons are legal in many states to include California. They are regulated under the federal National Firarms Act (NFA), its a mere $200 per instance transfer tax and a very involved registration process. Of course, you don't comply with that law, it's indeed a big time felony and getting that federal permit isn't easy. However, the trick is in the fine print, yes they are legal in many states, but many of those states adopt state regulations that makes it virtually impossible to get a permit. That is the case in California where individual ownership is technically legal for machineguns, but the reality is you can't get a permit as an individual.

Treasure Island??? Starring Wallace Berry as Long John Silver

How about a pirate barbie that has a peg leg, hook, eye patch and a handicap hang tag? -Greydog P.S. How about a barbie with jack boots and a black unifrom? Wait, that would be Klaus Barbie, shiver me timbers! Nevermind.

My pleasure, the music was devine and the sound quality of the CD was excellent. -Greydog

I watched this (I get more movie ideas from this game...) and Thorton was pretty good - he sort of stole the movie. I wonder how historically accurate his portrayal really was? The scene where Crockett is talking about “pass the taters” is a recounting of an event that is told in Crockett’s autobiography, other than telling the tale at the Alamo, the story itself is dead on with the source material. Of all the movie Crockett's I think Billy Bob came the closest for giving a feel of the real deal.
