Yeah, I posted a drunkard MPSIMS tread last Wednesday, and today I get an “Arrr Matey” post. I was content for that to get a big zero reply with thirty views, but nooooo, I get a pirate. \<\\> ---

And its nearly over, damn me eyes. The sun is below the main yard, stout lads. It’s time to splice the main brace. Stand to your hal’erds, fore and aft. Quartermaster, bring up the grog. A full cup for every man and a double ration for the chanty man. 😃 ---

Didja hear about the new pirate movie? It’s rated ARRRRRRR! A pirate walks into a bar. The bartender says “Do you know that you’ve got a steering wheel sticking out of your pants?” The pirate says “Arrr, it’s drivin me nuts!” ---

Few will remember, but this all started with me about two years ago. Or, maybe, that Pirates of the Caribbean movie had something to do with it, too. The next major trend I’m setting is the total abolishment of three button suits in favor of heavy grey two button wool suits with black threads in them. ---
