about the pirate ship

Hey, so rather than get an ordinary yacht to sail around the world
spreading the FSM faith, why not something a little more pirate-like.
I was in Bonaire with my family and this Junk was docked there and
seemed sufficiently pirate-like for you.

I like it.  Let’s brainstorm fundraising ideas.  Also, we’ll need to figure out how ship-time will be organized.  Ideas/Volunteers?

    Fundraising is probably the easy part. Have the wenches do a bikini carwash or get people to sell stuff. You could probably also make some sort of FSM promoting stuff and sell it to stores. I dunno, but I think if you can’t buy a pirate ship now, chances aargh you won’t be able to for a while.

    I don’t think I’d raise much money doing a bikini carwash, I honestly don’t think I would!

    To the Captain… I was just asking, but I think it’d be really romantic (hey, remember, I’m a wench) to have a Pastafarian wedding on a pirate ship. I can’t think of a better way to get married, unless it’s a ceremony performed by an Elvis impersonator at a drive-up wedding chapel in Vegas ;)

    A “fringe religion” (or “religon” or “relgion”) is simply a religion in which the strippers at His holy stripper factory wear fringe on their soon-to-be-removed lingerie. So I don’t see any problem with being a “fringe religion”.

    In terms of how we spend our time on the ship.

    I hadn’t got beyond the drinking rum, singing and sex in rotation and let’s see how many we can do at the same time.

    I’ll bring trivial pursuit in case we get bored of those three.

    Aye, she be a fine lookin’ vessel, you can count on a contribution from the antipodean pastafarian chapters to put some wind in her sales and some fine beers on the bar.
    I likes the idea of the car wash, perhaps I can interest the local lads and lassies here to get their gear off for a good cause, seeing as how they likes to get their gear off anyway.

    Bikini carwash is the only way to get cash, and you should do it near a college so you get all the testosterone-bomb guys to give you their money.
    Just make sure that you’re actually cleaning the cars!

    Can somebody somehow realize that all this talk of strippers could possibly lead to blockage by Bess at schools ant therefor end my largest converting outlet. with 6 converts and more pirates (somewhere form 1-5) at Whitman it may be the largest concentration of Pastafarians in one area (in Seattle). There fore to case more converts I need the website so can “inappropriate” subjects please be avoided. (ignoring me is allowed)

    Katsu. This is a heathen site. They talk of strippers and sex non-stop around here. I don’t think you should be here at all. Believe in God and pray for salvation. Find a good Christian website to frequent. I am sure your school would aprove of that. I can help you find a good site if you wish. Just let me know.

    @ Thumper

    Point of clarification. If you are using the term “heathen” as someone who does not belong to a widely held religion e.g. Christian, Jew, or Muslim, then I will take that as a compliment. If you are inferring a follower of a polytheistic religion, then you couldn’t be further from the truth. Pastafarians believe that the FSM is the one and only Creator of the universe. If you are suggesting unenlightened, then again you are misinformed. If you are implying one lacking culture or moral principles, then all I can say is why do you think the FSM revealed himself in America?

    You don’t think that Katsu should be here but, it hasn’t stopped you from gracing us with your presence, has it? We do have a short plank that you are welcome to take a long walk upon. Have a nice day. :-)

    C’mon people… we’re pirates.
    .
    Pirates = People who commit piracy (among other, less polite things ;P)
    .
    So let’s live up to the name. Steal the boat, then, when the authorities come after us, steal their boat, and make em walk the plank (within swimming distance of the shore of course, I’m not a bastard)
    .
    Otherwise, maybe we all find some common date (TLAPD would be good if it was earlier), get everyone to try and get into the local media, and launch a simultaneous ship drive all over the world. We could have a choir (if we could keep ‘em sober enough) singing shanties, with a pirate (or wench) channeling his noodleyness, and aim purely at making people laugh.
    .
    If they’re laughing, they don’t mind so much when you plunder their booty, and pillage their damsels!

    I’m with you, Jingles. A bikini car wash sounds fun but where’s the pay off. Even with the ever growing Pastafarian population it would take years. What’s next? Spaghetti dinner night at the VFW? Going door to door with a little can for donations like the UNICEF crowd? We need to think on a larger scale. We’ve got the book, how about a movie?

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
