madPete Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks Silkie. I hope you guys realize this is all in fun. I actually appreciate corrections because I can add them in and when I forget who someone I only see at this event is or what those weird brass twisty things are, I can refer back to my journals. (However, please understand that it's all tongue-in-check and I will go way off the reservation to insert a gag that I find funny. YOU may not find it funny, but I arrogantly write them to amuse myself first. ) we was just making up corrections to poke fun at YOU! ;) Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Mission Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 Here is Chapter 5. Enjoy! Shay is coming up here for Christmas, so I won't be getting back to this until next week, so savor it as well. I think I have fixed all the broken links (except the ones to the chapters that don't exist yet.) As always, if you spot any errors, let me know. (I will probably ignore you, but feel free to let me know anyhow. ) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Cuisto Mako Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 WTF Beowulf is from Montreal!?!?!?!?! Finally another pirates enthusiast from my hometown!!!!!! Yéééééééé!!!!! Thanks Mission, very entertaining as always. Happy Holidays!
D B Couper Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 EXCELLENT account of the Parade Crashing Fiasco Extravaganza!! You filled in many blank spots I couldn't remember (Thank you Wille for the refreshments) It was great to remember the great time we all had. D.B. Couper
Commodore Swab Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 I just about dies laughing when Shay was reading last night and saw the picture of us "pushing" the car, up until then she still had no idea we did that.
Diosa De Cancion Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Well done Mission. The 'diseased porcupine' bit actually made me spit coffee laughing.... my computer does not, however, appreciate you right now :) Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
D B Couper Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 To copy a phrase, "If you think that's funny, you should have been therte". D.B. Couper
Mission Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Bam! The whole Journal is now done! Thanks for your patience! Enjoy the end, starting with Chapter 6. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Diosa De Cancion Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Bam! The whole Journal is now done! Thanks for your patience! Enjoy the end, starting with Chapter 6. DO you still want feedback? If you want corrections let me know. If not, then I will refrain from telling you that it's Don Maitz, the trial was once a day, but on two separate days and that Don does, in fact, paint us every year. I have the collection of paintings and drawings he has done over the years during the trial. I always bid on them in the auctions :) Thanks for the journal! Love reading it!!

Mission Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Sure, I want feedback. (Just not static. ) I could swear I heard someone say they were twice a day. Oh, well. Fixed all that. Thanks! Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Cannibal Chrispy Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Three cheers And a Big Huzzah!! You do a fantastic job of filling in all those fuzzy areas that seem to occour so often at this event!

hurricane Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Sure, I want feedback. (Just not static. ) I could swear I heard someone say they were twice a day. Oh, well. Fixed all that. Thanks! Wish they could be, but not a single man will step forward to tussle with Diosa twice in a day. They'd be fools. Hard enough to get them to do it once - and then some of the poor lads spend an hour spewing their breakfast all over the walkway. She's hard on the menfolk I hear.

Dutchman Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 heyo mission, the gunner on page six with the blue check shirt is constable heartless. great job as usual. couldnt make it this year so its nice to have this to see what we missed.
Mission Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks Dutch! (You know, I think I put that in a previous Journal, but there are so many now that I can't remember where people are any more.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Captain Jim Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Mission, old man, I thank you from the bottom of my black, Pyratical heart for the surgeon's Journal. I would also likt to thank your editor for keeping you in line. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Mission Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Mission, old man, I thank you from the bottom of my black, Pyratical heart for the surgeon's Journal. I would also likt to thank your editor for keeping you in line. Editors. Bennett and Donald. (Anyone know what that is a reference to? It's a trifle obscure. And it's not the two judges sitting in the balcony during the Muppet Show. Their names are Statler and Waldorf. I thought about using them, but they have nothing to do with writing or editing.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Captain Jim Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, founders of Random House. How much are you paying them? Or are they getting a cut of revenues? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Mission Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 From what I've read, Bennett Cerf was really cool. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Captain Jim Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I remember Bennett Cerf from the old "What's My Line" show. Now, as that show went off air CBS in 1967...However the show was picked up by Viacom in syndication and he was an occasional guest on the syndicated show. I remember that he had a really fast wit and was funny, even to a kid. I really should investigate his writings. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
