capnwilliam Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 One of the greated sailors of his or any era, who opened up the Spanish Main to centuries of plunder, and whose efforts earned me a day off work today! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Capt Grey Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Arrrr ye be a lucky one, Capn William. There be no rest from work for my scurvey sea crew. Are ye sure ye don' want to be celebratin' Lief Erikson Day? Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
capnwilliam Posted October 14, 2003 Author Posted October 14, 2003 Why sure, shipmate, if'n it'll get me another day off work! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Cap'n Coyote Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 God Bless Vespucciland! It's not a total non-sequitur. Check out Firesign Theatre's Temporarily Humboldt County. Transcript Rumors of my death were right on the money.
Blind Rhoid Pyle Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 God Bless Vespucciland!It's not a total non-sequitur. Check out Firesign Theatre's Temporarily Humboldt County. I love the Firesign Theater! Funny stuff. On their album, The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra, there is a wonderful scene where Hemlock Stones, the Great Defective, sends his companion and biographer, Dr. John Flotsom, O.D., into a Pirate Pub! Lots of great bawdy stuff there. As for Christopher Columbus, what can you say about the man who introduced tobacco and syphllis to Europe?
Cap'n Coyote Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 Not to totally steal this thread, but both FT's homepage and Laugh.com have reissues available of several of their albums. Rumors of my death were right on the money.
