Boo, amidst the deep, untroubled pools of your stupidity, one does, on occasion, wade through quick, sparkling waters of intellect. Not very often, but it's still refreshing.

Aaaarrgh!

Damme, it's no suprise to see Hortlhund all abashed afore tha BilgeRat. Gazing at the deck and shuffling 'is feet like some midshipman hauled up before the Cap'n for dereliction. No amount of muttering under 'is breath about bananas and such like can hide the fact that the rum sodden buffoon named some his bathtoys "Victory" and "Mars" sullying the name of these fine ships which fought on the glorious 21st of October and pon the latter poor George Duff met 'is end (rest 'is soul).

Why Moriarty 'as the rights of it, hanging is too good for him, a 150 lashes is more likeit (keelhauling bein' not quite the same spectacle, if you get my meaning).

W H A T? Are you seriously saying that the British navy has had a ship named "Mars"? ANYONE with even half a brain knows that "Mars" is the proud name of one of history's greatest warships, the old Swedish battle ship.

[History teacher mode]

The admiral ship Mars was one of the most famous battle ships in Europe during medieval times due to its formidable strength and the tales of the hideous curse resting over the ship. The curse origins from believes that the church bells that King Gustav Vasa claimed by force and melted down into canons annoyed God. Regardless if it was the curse or the overwhelming force of the Danish and Lubish fleet the Mars meet its destiny outside northern Öland in the year of our lord 1564 and disappeared below the waves and have since rested untouched and forgotten for centuries.

The ship measured 60 meter (200 ft) or more in length and had a width of 15 meters (50 ft) and weighted 2200 tons. She was armed with 173 bronze canons of varying size and legions of falkonettes and falkones and had a crew of more than 700 men.

[/History teacher mode]

The insolence is untolerable, the nerve of that british wannabe-navy that has never accomplished ANYTHING important WHATSOEVER in the history of mankind. Have THEY dared to defile the proud "Mars"? What pray tell was the british version of the "Mars"? A 10 foot longboat manned by drunken sods? How silly of me the WHOLE british navy has never been anything but a semi amusing gathering of drunken sods sitting in hollowed tree logs in various degrees of decay. There they sit drinking piss warm "ale" and name their logs after their imagined sexual abilities "Victory" (presumably after someone finally managed to get lucky with the town prostitute) "Repulse" (someone who failed the same endeavour), "Rodney" (someone naming his "boat" after his boyfriend) etc etc.

Well enough is enough. I will not accept this insult on the greatest navy ever to sail the seven seas.

Isn't that the one that flipped over in the harbor and sank on it's maiden voyage?

Nope. That was Vasa. Not the proudest moment in the naval history of Sweden. I would be surprised to hear we ever won anything major on the seas. Just like the British Royal Navy I suppose.

We always were more of the trudge along all over Poland and Germany until something stood in our way kind of superpower.

hehe, the most bewildering part about the Vasa is the fact that for some reason we have raised the bloody ship from the bottom of the ocean, put it on land (so it wouldnt sink again one might presume), built a museum around it and is showing it off to the whole world.

Its absurd. Look at our greatest failure: yes, we suck.

Sorta like what happened to your Csaba ("gesundheit!") after it scouted over the top of that hill last turn, eh? Send more.
