Lars Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Ooh, first one at the party; that's not good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 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!

Abbott Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I doubt 2-1/4" guns are going to frighten off either the Coast Guard or the DEA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 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. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Seanachai, you cur! Did you have a good time? Did you make an arse of yourself? Did your family disown you? Have you read 'Making Money' yet? Are you EVER going to send me another turn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Seanachai is an important man now with many vital matters to consume his attention. He can't be bothered with sending turns or responding to e-mails...or at least that's his fantasy. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 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) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
