Well, truth be telling, Terrierman, what's in a man's flask is his own business.

OK, does anyone object* if 50+ hoists the Jolly Roger over Foo or SSFG? Because I seriously want to do that. Soon.

That would be great, too!

See, if I can get you guys motivated, and if it ends up as fun as I think it would be, we could take over a different forum every year. It would simply involve going over and starting a thread. The first post in the thread would be a giant pirate flag with some statement saying they have been boarded by the 50+ crew and "all their base are belong to us" or some such thing. Or "We PWN you. Hand over your women and gold."

And that would be it!

Maybe I'm not really in the spirit of this thing!

All the Frenchy stuff is stashed behind the purple treasure chest. Have at it!

PWN is from a game called Warcraft. When someone lost the game was supposed to announe "Joe has been OWNED", but there was a typo and it said PWNED. It means completely and totally defeated, you are nothing but a hair on a flea on dead racoon.

You're kidding, right?

OTH, it's perfect. That place is far too serious. We can lighten it up a bit.

Nope! I'm totally serious. It would be great. But I need you guys to say yay or nay in order for me to do it. I don't want to hoist the flag on behalf of us when it's really only me. But I'll do it myself if I have to. The worst that can happen is they totally ignore it!

Chardonnay is for wussie, rum is for weenie.

OK...which forum should we pirate? The SSFG gang would be mighty fighters. The roadies would give good entertainment value. Foo would be a good starter ship to plunder...they'll play along.
