Happy Birthday, Mate.

"The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning."

Many happy returns of the day! and many, many more to come

Matt, I got to hold some of your wares at the fort - very impressive. Not many folks can capture the lightness and liveliness of the original. Also, my name is Matt as well, so that's, you know, that's cool.

A most Happy Natal day to you, Suh. Hope it is grand. :unsure:

and buccaneers and buried gold...

You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Happy birthday Matt!

I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die.

Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.

HB, 1MM! I think we need to form a crew and name our ship the December. We'll salute each other with scotch whisky and then throw our shot glasses into the fireplace. Then we'll be sorry because it will get cold if the shot glasses put the fire out. At least if we meet in Michigan we will.

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Happy Birthday, my friend! B)

'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life

That raises our black flags."
