And in other news, of all the crazy things a guy can do on the internet, this just might be the craziest.

Me and a bunch of people on another forum just got together and formed our own cruise line.

Here she is, a Four Masted Gaff Rigged Barquentine/Schooner with four 2-1/4" Cannons!

Some of you in Chicago might be familiar with her. Going to be moved down to the Carib, and will be sailing out of St. Martin this winter on one week runs. Stay tuned for details.

WOOT!

The Rules

This is a private party, so if you haven't been here before, leave the booze at the door and SOD OFF!!!

After all, I think that's what Peng really wants.

There, that was easy, now wasn't it?

You call those RULES? My Gawd man, stickypixie could do better rules than those.

2-1/4"??? Hell, you couldn't sink a toy boat with those pop guns. Pathetic.

After two weeks of clouds and rain it’s another beautiful day of sunshine out here in the Oregon woodlands. Now back to maintaining my carbon footprint at it’s proper level by burning everything that piled up over the summer.

Dale how are things going for you these days? Ready to resume our game?

Uh, wouldn't you lose fewer cargoes bringing them ashore in the more traditional cigarette boats? I mean, I doubt 2-1/4" guns are going to frighten off either the Coast Guard or the DEA.

The CG cutter based here in PT is only armed with a couple of .50 cal, so that might on the face of it look like an even fight. But then you have to think that the .50s have a much higher rate of fire and longer range too, so that doesn't look so good for the Windy, does it? Plus there's always the chance that the CG guys know what they're doing, which would put Lars at a hell of a disadvantage.

Maybe you should wait for the California fires to burn out....starting fires in your neck of the woods may suck the flames northward.

Oh, the year it was two thousand and eight

How I wish I was still back in Mound!

When letters of Marque come from the Queen

to the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

Oh bloody Lars Larson cried the town

How I wish I was still back in Mound

For twenty brave men Peng Challengers who

Would make for him the Windy's crew

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

Oh, the good ship Windy was an awful sight

How I wish I was still back in Mound

She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags

and Lars in the scuppers with the staggers and jags

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

On the Queen's birthday we put to sea

How I wish I was still back in Mound

We were 36 days to Montego Bay

Pumping like madmen all the way

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

On the 41st day we sailed again

How I wish I was still back in Mound

When a bloody great cruise ship hove in sight

With our cracked four pounders we made to fight

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

Oh the cruise ship was with treasure filled

How I wish I was still back in Mound

She was broad and fat and loose in stays

But to catch her took the Windy two whole days

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

At last we lay two cables off

How I wish I was still back in Mound

And our cracked four pounders made an awful din

But our broadside stove our whole port side in

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

Oh, the Windy shook and pitched on her side

How I wish I was still back in Mound

And Lars so drunk pitched over the rail

The rest were covered with fallen sail

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

And now I lay in me 51st year

How I wish I was still back in Mound

It's been six long months since we sailed away

And they cut our bar tab off yesterday

Goddamn them all!

I was told we'd cruise the seas,

For Caribbean gold we'd fire no guns

Shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on St. Martin pier

The last of Lars's privateers

-Lars's Privateers

(with apologies to Stan Rogers)
