Actually, Cap’n Sir Ma’am, since this is one of those dreaded “Long Threads,” I would rather see a new crew in a new thread. Even tho this isn’t a game thread. This thread is filled with some of the most creative posts I’ve yet seen on these boards. A testament to the high calibre of of the average Doper. But, it was started in response to the amazing and unplanned for frenzy surrounding a certain summer movie release. I thank everyone involved and raise a glass of rum to you, Cap’n Sir Ma’am, and to our inspiration, Cap’n Jack Sparrow. May this thread rest in peace in the deep blue sea. ---
