kass Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Cheese! Throw cheese! It's much more sticky! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
Fox Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Not to mention less painful and more delicious :) Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we?

Captain Jim Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Compared with getting hit with a wad of warm Limberger, you might prefer a rock. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 This is the one in Chicago? My sister lives and works there. Might be that I could bring some rum and cheee and venison sausage to throw his way. Bo

kass Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 It's just the excitement of actually being able to throw cheese and sausage at Foxe in person, isn't it, Bo? Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
blackjohn Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I'd like to drop one of those Monty Python 16 ton blocks on him! Cheese and sausage... dang, now I'm hungry! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 oh we get to throw the cheese at him! I knew there was a reason besides the lectures that I was going to this thing.

Red Maria Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch keeps going through my brain! Too bad it will not be out here in sunny Southern California. I'd get to meet Ed finally and he could be in warmer weather! Chicago BRRRRR! Good luck Ed!
jim hawkins Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 What about pieces of bread fired out of crossbows? I seem to recall doing that a 14th Century event and it works wonders.
Fox Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Well Jim, the evidence for pirates with crossbows is better than... but surely you "shoot" a crossbow, not "fire" it? Bo, if you could put the rum in some sort of powerful water pistol I could endeavour to catch it, and trust me, I'd really try hard! John, how about a point-ed stick? Chole, I believe what is actually meant to happen is that you are to cut the cheese into small mouthfuls and gently feed it to me while I'm fanned by a small slave boy...

Captain Jim Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Eewww...Foxe wants Chole to cut the cheese... My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
kass Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Jim? He's English. They're weird... Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Eewww...Foxe wants Chole to cut the cheese... I'll get to finding a small slave boy then. Do you suppose one could be hired from the same place I would find some elves? "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

Fox Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Sorry I wasn't aware of your colonial metaphors... Let's just say, I wouldn't throw her out of bed for cutting the cheese...

The Doctor Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 And quite rightly so! It's a game of retaliation... you withstand the first volley (hers), then wait to return fire - and in doing so, you drag the covers over her head! This counter-attack is known as the "Dutch Oven". Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Let's just say, I wouldn't throw her out of bed for cutting the cheese... Mr. Foxe, I can honestly say you have rendered me not only speechless but a particularly bright shade of red!

kass Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Heh heh heh heh heh... Poor Chole. Ya think he's a nice, quiet, conservative English boy and then: KAHBAM!!! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
Fox Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Aaw poor Chole, I didn't mean to embarress you ...unless you mean you're blushing with delight Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we?

Silkie McDonough Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Someone had to do it. Rocks at Foxe Will you join me while he talks Will you throw some rocks at Foxe? I will not join you Mister Vox. I will not throw those rocks at Foxe. If he's wearing stripe-ed sox's? Would you then throw rocks at Foxe? He won't be wearing stripe-ed sox's, I will not throw a rock at Foxe. Say he has on Bucket boots? while through his sea chest he does root? Edward Fox, in bucket boots? It would not happen, the point is mute. I will sit there while he talks I will sit and not throw rocks What items he has in that box I will see and throw no rocks. Perhaps he's up there hours on end speaks incessantly and begins again. He knows his subject to be sure listenings a pleasure not a chore. Say he takes you up on stage? Berates your garb in an endless rage? Would you then consider these rocks In my haversack for Mister Foxe? No, I would run him through with my peace tied, un-sharpened cutlass.
callenish gunner Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 i'd be more concerned that foxe wants to be fanned by a slave BOY ...my fantasies all entail beautiful bare-breasted nubian women fanning me and feeding me grapes and peacock tongues
kass Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Hugh, He's English... Silkie, that was so AWESOME!!!! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
