Arrrr a salty theme this time for the centenary edition.

/images/misc/forum-image-missing.gif

After being "attacked" by a shipload of female pirates, the boys weren't sure they had enough left in them to go sailing this morning.

He thought he could eat it all but that kipper had eyes this far apart

The boys thought sailing would be better after getitng stoned, and they'd just run the cloth thingy up the pole thingy later...

an' I'm telling ya boy, "put that stuff in 'is pipe again an the cap'n will ear about it"

That's the last time I'm drinking Benders "Bent brew", you guys all look like an oil painting

Guy with the Cup: You know, in about 100 years from now, men will be sailing around on boards - none of this giant wooden ship thing...and they'll call it pole boarding and then there'll be these other panzies with kites.

Guy sitting on the red thing: Barry, you're pissed again.

Well of course we had it tooff.

We had to get up in the morning - at ten oclock at night, half an hour before we went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work 29 hours a day at mill and pay the mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home our father would kill us and dance about on our graves singing hallelujah.

And try to tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you!

"ere james, pack me pipe full o' baccy again will ya"

"old george keeps on telling the story about how he ducked and actually invented the duck gybe"

Aaarrrr no, I said I want a "tea bag" not a "tea bagger" !!!

is this a bit rude ?

"now i've said to the captain before, you can't be up all night shaggin the cabin boy and expect to get a good days work out of him, "

yeah a bit ...what about

"Its true, twas about 2 days out from Capetown and we sees this little sailing boat coming towards us..only it wasn't a boat you see...twas a shipwrecked looking soul standing on a small narrow raft . ..he was holding on to the mast and a bit of spar which was attached to a bit of canvas sail...damn clever it was .....sailed right pass us... going faster than a clipper under full sail...never stopped....screaming at the top of his voice he was...strange it was.....like he was straight from davy jones locker......he jumped off the tops of swells like a flying fish........never saw him again..........."

"Cheer up lads, being a convict ain't so bad...

tomorrow we'll away from the stinking Thames,
and land in Australia in time for a ripsnortin' summer..."*



* where the water's warm, the beer's cold, the air's clean, and and our people will eventually learn to stop whinging

geez that was good sheet man,ya got anymore of that

NotWal -(with the cup) You inerudite plebians just have no appreciation for modern art.
That's not just the Statue of Liberty 'wrapped up in sheets with ropes attached', it's an installation symbolizing how the traditional ideals of society are being disregarded and camouflaged by modern pop culture...

(Guy with the pipe) There he goes, rambling on again... using a whole lot of big words we can't understand...

(Guy on the red thingy) I've really never thought of it that way before...

^^^^ Spoken like an artist and a not inastute observation
Don't worry. I wont hold it against you on judgement day

Thanks Richie. I had that in at first but I wasn't quite sure it was the correct term.
"Red thingy" left no doubt as to what I was referring to.

I should have put in voice balloons but I didn't have much time today.

'Ere's one for ya, lads. Now s'pposin' there's ne're quite enough wind, makin' good way 'bout 80% of the time with sail bellied. You should really go up a sail size but you left it at home.

How should you rig the sail?

If you belly it out, it will get you under way but does it increase the drag? Will you be more likely to come off the plane earlier? Does it reduce upwind ability which is crucial in these conditions.

If you rig flatter then pump up onto the plane, is your sail's efficiency increased? Will you plane more? Will your upwind ability be improved?

half mast.

aaargh, lets sing a sea shanty, all together lads

It was on the good ship venus
By christ, ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a wh#re in bed
And the mast, a mammoth p#nis

The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty b#gger
He wasnt fit to shovel sh#t
From one place to another

Chorus:
Friggin in the riggin
Friggin in the riggin
Friggin in the riggin
There was f&@k all else to do

all together now

Arr Jim lad, dugongs are grey and plump and they graze on seagrass whereas yer mermaids are creatures of yer limbic unconscious, all lissom n curvy n gorgeous. A mermaid wont stand to be be mistaken fer a dugong but dugongs aint so fussy. Mind you they smell the same. Why do you ask?

Gosh Mr Queeg, I think I stepped on one when I was water starting out by the shark nets. It felt like neoprene sandpaper.

NEOPRENE SANDPAPER! why that weren't no mermaid boy. Neither were it dugong.....

he he. The lads got im goin again. Wait fer it.

What were it Mr Queeg, a schnapper?

Noooo not no schnapper neither. It were a ....... Before I say you must swear by a terrible oath that you will divulge nothing of what you hear here to another soul livin or dead. Do you so swear?

OOh Rather.

Does the word "shart" mean anything to ya?
