Do you guys like this boat?
(you can’t really tell, but I crossed out the name of the boat, and wrote “church of the fsm”)
(note - in picture 2, there used to be a lady standing on the deck, but I photoshopped her out. You can still sort of see her legs if you look closely)
It’s not a pirate boat. But here’s the thing: it’s also not $2 million. This one’s a Tayana 37. The one pictured isn’t for sale, but they run about $100k, which we could probably handle *right now*.
The official FSM church missionary pirate boat IS going to happen, it’s just a matter of to what degree you want. I want to get everyone’s opinion on this. Wait until we can afford a “real” pirate ship, or get something smaller and start now? The Church makes nowhere near the amount of cash to get a millions-of-dollars boat anytime soon, if ever. The funds now are all coming from the t-shirts, car emblems, and book sales, and they’ve about leveled off. However, we do have a licensing arrangement, and there are some tv interests. That could mean some more cash for the pirate-boat-fund.
And there’s the option of fund-raising, but I’m guessing that people would be apprehensive paying into a fund like this (I would be). And are there that many seriously interested people who would pay $1k or more for a share of a pirate boat? I sort of wonder.
Maybe we could purchase a working boat, like a Baltic Trader (it’s sort of piratey), one of those ships that moves cargo from island to island in the tropics.
(baltic trader)
A trading ship would make enough money to keep it going (boats are crazy-expensive to upkeep). By the way, a Baltic Traders can easily go for a million dollars or more.
As for the actual missionary work we’ll be doing, I think it will take place somewhere tropical. Other than that, maybe we’ll just cruise around and wait for inspiration, like Jesus did.
And, as I’m sure there will be no shortage of volunteers, if we get a smaller boat we’ll have to figure out how to arrange the crewing,etc. And also I heard that it’s somewhat complicated to sail and maneuver around islands and other boats and things, so we’ll have to figure out a way to keep from sinking. Like a rule that at least a couple people onboard at anytime know what they’re doing.
Please discuss, I want to hear everyone’s opinions on this.
I believe that if you want to truly honor the FSM then the only proper option is to build your own vessel. It would be cheaper than an authentic one, and can be built to whatever specifications would be required. Don’t just buy one that will “suffice”, pay Him a true homage and build one in his name.
theres a group of people that have built and sail a replica of the Nina, of columbus history. i think last time they sailed into town for the week they said it was built in south america, and they are working on another for the fleet. in the winter months, it sails in the caribbean.
building a boat, especially one like this is super expensive, and possibly untrustworthy. but the prospect of getting out there excites me, and I’d like to offer up my services as a full time bosun. Already have the whistle!
I like the look of the trading one, much more piratey, but as I get seasick in the bath I have volunteered to man (wench) the harbour bar.
I work for the NHS *insert hollow laugh here* so don’t have any spare money to put towards the fund :( Sorry :(
LONG AND TEDIOUS POST WARNING enjoy ;p
.
Personally, I’d say go with the trader first. It’s all very well to say build your own, but it will cost money… more money than you have.
.
Trying to save for something like this will be nigh on impossible if your sole income source for this is FSM paraphenalia.
.
Likewise, getting a bank loan for a vessel that has no particular purpose (as far as a bank would be concerned, my own views differ somewhat) would be either
.
a) immensely difficult,
.
b) prohibtively expensive
.
c) both
.
.
By comparison, buying a trader is a business investment. Business investment is easily explained, has a lower danger of failing to recoup investment than charity, and will also provide funds enough to survive on for the forseeable future.
.
Consider;
Trading between islands, (self explanatory really)
.
Working cruises, where for a small fee, a potential sailor works on the ship for a month etc (this system is commonly used on replica ships here in Oz)
.
Leisure cruises, where for a large fee, the person enjoys heaven on earth (who wouldn’t want to sail with a bunch of roguish pirates and crafty wenches though beautiful tropical waters, discussing the finer points of philosphy, theology, beer and the art of making a really good marinara?).
.
Theatre; special guest appearences of the pirates, staging an annual raid on, say, Miami, would make a great tourist attraction for the city, leading to possible government investment, or at the very least, greater public awareness.
.
After that, it gets a bit fiddly, but think also of novelty weddings, collaboration with atheist/secular societies for events, etc.
.
.
With sufficient self promotion, and a little bit of noodley loving, you would earn enough to buy a fleet within a few years, and have a corporate empire within a decade.
well, I’d go with the smaller version first, and if it is successful we can just buy a bigger one later on
but for now, the small one will do imo
btw if you need a unexperienced german born sailor that has no clue what the hell he is doing i’ll volunteer hehe
Why not just steal the ship? That would make it a pirate ship by default.
Other churches have built their empires through tithing… maybe all of these bilge rats who claim to be Pastafarians can start ponying up the dough to get this church out to sea!
Of course we need to get the church tax shelter in place first… how’s that going?
I’d love to sail on that trader boat. Scooter has a point, first get official status as a church, so every donated penny is going to the boat and not to the state.
*
I’m no use as a sailor though, i don’t get seasick but I am afraid of heights (so no climbing for me) So I’ll just wench the bar with Booty.
I like both boats, but I think the trader may be a better first option. We should find out how many people those things can hold.
.
Also, I volunteer to help sail whatever boat we end up with. I sort of know what I’m doing…
Wow Jingles!! I thought you were doing something strange at uni I can’t even begin to understand, not business studies! ;)
Good ideas though - As long as you buy a quayside pub for me and RDPK to run for after pillaging refreshments.
This is a great start, we should get it for now!
I kinda know what I’m doing. I’m definitely not being the cabin-boy or whatever you call it.
I’ll man the whell, I always was a good helmsman!
The only experience I have is with sunfish and a 22 footer, these are probably a lot different, oh well.
RAmen
I like the tradeship… it looks very piratey. The only boats I am really familiar with have motors… I’ve not really sailed before. But I have some weird extended family out in Toronto that run a sailing business. Not totally sure how it works, but they make the ship (or possibly just fix it up, not sure) and then sail it to it’s destination. Last summer my Dad went out there, and they took a boat from Ontario down to North Carolina, where they buyer was… and he learnt how to sail and everything. So, if we are short on crew members, I could always go and learn from Nan. (I think that’s her name… never met her myself.)
Aaaarrrr, ye swarthy landlubbers!
Sorry, just had to let that out. When I first saw the boat proposal last year, I thought you were off your trolley (to use an NHS term). But then most of us thought the same thing when we saw your open letter..and that kind of worked.
If this isn’t going to be seen simply as “Bobby’s crafty plan to get his own yacht”, you’ll need to keep the focus on FSM-ism. Or against ID. Whatever.
So how about using the boat for “educational” cruises? Sail into port, raid the local taverns for grog, pick up a few wenches and make the locals walk the plank while you take their booty? That’ll teach them the virtues of keeping a lookout. And, erm, make them think about pirates and that.
And it’s self-financing.
May His Noodliness go with you always.
Oh and btw:
My vote’s for the baltic trader, hell of a nice ship.
RAmen
The baltic trader is the better option, mainly for hold space and accomodation. plus the ability to hold better parties (sermons) however there are some considerations you need to remember:
it needs more crew with experience
takes a LOT of looking after
berths can be expensive and larger berths = more expensive
If we’re looking for crew can i submit a CV? I really can navigate!
I think that jingles had a very good point there, that model could be used to provide the funds for the ship and its crew (lets face it the crew no matter how piratey needs to eat) Plus what about insurance? if a crew member who doesnt know what theyre doing crews up the boat or it sinks or whatever serious $$$ might be needed to fix it. Plus insurance helps alot if your going to be trading or anything like that, it gives you sort of a businessy apperance not a we’re-just-random-guys-doing-this-for-fun look. If youre going to be trading in tropical islands lool out for real modern day pirates too, we should carry a supply of arms with at least one person qualified to teach how to properly aim them, shoot the, safety etc, i would qualify for that and navigation :)
Excuse ME Mr Farty - but I am my *own* Booty, thank you very much!
Leave me out of it! ;)
Besides, I am going to be busy drinking, I mean, running the bar. :D
@ Nav Spider
.
“If we’re looking for crew can i submit a CV? I really can navigate!”

Glad you can. I couldn’t find my arse with both hands! :) Still have to go “Never Eat Shreaded Wheat” to remember the compass!
To Booty… LOL, ROTF!!!!!!!!!
WARNING: MEDIUM-LONG POST
.
Regarding the pirate ship, I can’t really give any intelligent advice about what to do — sorry, I don’t know anything about boats! But so far I like Scooter’s idea about the FSM becoming an official church, because that has all kinds of tax/financial benefits.
.
I don’t think that most people on this site have $1000 (or even close to that) to spare for a donation to the ship. Not that they wouldn’t gladly do it if they could! So large donations probably wouldn’t work. Small ones would, I believe, but the money wouldn’t accumulate fast enough.
.
What I *do* know for sure is that many of us Pastafarians (or should that be *we* Pastafarians?) would be willing to donate time to do marketing, public appearances, etc. If that helps in any way, I’m sure you’ve got ample manpower (and wench-power) there.
.
Buying a smaller pirate ship to start might be an idea because we could get attention with that and do real missionary excursions, media spots, etc. Perhaps those events might lead to more, which means more money, which means a bigger boat… you get the idea.
.
Personally, I will volunteer to do whatever. I’ve already been unofficially dubbed “the ship’s cook” but would rather do that PLUS some more hands-on work in sailing the ship. I have a couple contacts here and there in various ports. I really, really, REALLY like the idea of getting a pirate ship and will help in any way I can.
.
RAmen to everyone and Happy St. Pat’s Day (which is actually an FSM holiday)!!
Does any of ye even know ta sail?
To Booty… almost forgot, there are some good medications which help with seasickness. I have personal experience with them; I once had a wonderfully embarrassing incident of throwing up over the side of a whale-watching tour boat (go ahead, laugh, everyone!). Once I found about various over-the-counter (and prescription) meds that help, I never had another problem on a boat again. Miraculously (and praise the FSM for this) my seasickness disappeared eventually and now I’m fine with no meds!
.
I guess basically what I’m saying is I WANT YOU TO BE ON THE BOAT!! Not waiting onshore! :) The more wenches, the better :)))
To Buccaneer Jerda… yes, there are a handful of people here who really do sail, so this is a serious discussion. I personally don’t but really would like to learn!
I was being serious.. I would gladly give up my life and go sail for the rest of it.
Sorry, I knew you were serious, Buccaneer… I was just trying to say that we weren’t kidding around when speaking of sailing (you know how much joking goes on on this site :) and this was actually for real. If you would really be a full-time sailor then I salute you, fellow pirate! RAmen!
Why don’t we have a chat room or an IRC or vent server or something like that?
One question… have any of you ever seen the movie or read the book “Survive the Savage Sea?” I love boating, and I love the ocean, but I have a deep fear of sharks. Really, really bad phobia. When I was in North Carolina, my boyfriend took me to the Ripley’s Aquarium at Myrtle Beach. There’s this one part where you walk through this sort of glass, underwater tunnel… and when I saw a shark swimming above me I panicked, ran through the tunnel crying like an idiot, and Jirka finally found me like an hour later outside on a bench crying. Then I saw Survive the Savage Sea, a true story… and I have to admit… sailboats scare me just a wee bit. So, can we have some really sturdy life rafts, with enough food on them for at least a month? Please? OR can someone just hold me… ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Ive been snorkeling in the Caribbean with sharks and there not that scary… Why are you so afraid?
@Buccaneer
Honestly, because I am a wimp. Seriously. I have no reason. I have the same fear of spiders, but I have a reason for that, and spiders are something I encounter in my everyday life. I live nowhere near any kind of ocean, yet somehow, this fear has just been a part of life. I read a book about shark attacks when I was in Grade 4. Literally, since that time, the thought of them has terrified me. I know it’s silly… but that’s why it’s a phobia. It is an unreasoning, unreasonable fear. *shrug… it’s not like a fear of spiders where you can get therapy and learn to let them crawl on you without going mental. I can’t really go pet a shark until I get over my fear. Maybe Booty and I can drink on land together…
Don’t worry, Batman, by the time this whole thing gets off the ground you’ll be swimming with the sharks as your best buddies! They’re really amazing creatures. But of course we will have life rafts and etc. too :)
@Wench Beth
You’re scaring me. =) Best buddies… eesh… do you have any big hairy spiders I could snuggle up to at night as well? Bleagh…
.
I won’t swim with them. Ever. But as long the alcohol flows freely I will probably be able to function around them. That’s the best I can do.
Will Captain Bobby Henderson be leading us?
Batman, lots of us have a fear of something and can’t really explain why.. I’m really scared of heights (or dephts) myself. Not too fond of spiders either :)
But you’d be welcome manning the bar with Booty and me ;) Now that would make a great bar with three great wenches running it!
@Batman RE: Shark Infestation
That’s what the harpoon gun is for. Or cannons, if you just want to see the shark turn into chunky red seawater.
Count me out for serving drinks. I’ve already decided to support the other side of the bar ;)
Cop out and hire one.
@RDPK
We’d have to find some really good wench outfits, so we can match with Booty. I bet the tips would be through the roof!! Wheee!! (There’s no rules against us sampling the liquor, though, right?)
.
Arthur, go with the canons. I don’t want to catch them… that would just bring it in closer to boat. Just blow them out of the water.
.
I think maybe it is the eyes that scare me. Like little black buttons, you can never tell what they’re really looking at. It might SEEM like they don’t see you, but they might very well be eyeing you up as a tasty snack. Scary… same with spiders. EIGHT EYES???? Why do they need so many eyes?? It’s so they can keep an eye on us… and the eight legs are so they can run really fast and hide in our shoes when we’re not looking.
.
I’m creeping myself out here.
Hey Nikkiee - we’ll be doing an awful lot of product testing - after all, can’t be serving substandard beer to our pirates can we?
Batman - you are more than welcome - I don’t like yukky sea creatures either! - Especially jelly fish! *a screaming Booty runs for the hills*
We are going to have the best bar EVAR - believe me, the pirates will soon be having too much fun with us to be messng about in boats!
@Booty
I am seriously wanting to go out somewhere dressed like a pirate right now. Wish I had some pirate-minded friends here to go bar hopping with. Oh well.
@ everyone - some really good discussion here. Jingles has some great ideas about the business side of it. And I agree that FSM should be officially recognized as a church (no joke here). I too don’t have the $1,000 to donate - I wish I did but am still trying to get my business running in the black.
I have never sailed, but it sounds like fun! I can cook, and make some yummy drinks and cocktails, although if all the wenches decide to bartend we may not have a crew! Of course for many of us drinking is already a skill we have (no offense to those Pastafarians that I know choose not to drink). I’m up for a really good wench outfit! :)
@ Batman - I’ve always had a fascination with sharks - I’m strange! At one point I wanted to be a marine biologist so I could study them. I do have a weird thing about spiders though. I can’t stand them. And living in Oklahoma we get more than our fair share (I get bitten about once a year - one was a good one that left a BIG red area on my thigh that was spongy - not fun!)
Hi Rowdy!
Sherlock says you should move to Florida and work for Seaworld! (He loves Sharks too and would happily go swimming with them - weird fella! ;) )
You get BITTEN once a year?????
Bloody hell! I have never been bitten and they are all the size of teeny weeny things that are very small, but I still hyperventilate whenever they are around! - Sherlock is great and tells me to look the other way while he gets rid of them for me!
.
@ Batman - Yes, get a wench outfit too! They re loads of fun - and I think we should dress up for the bar - it is an absolute bugger being so far away from everyone :(
But I am sure the FSM will look after us and get us all together when he is ready (If he isn’t too pissed) ;)
I don’t believe your so called church has made any money at all. Yacht?! Maybe you could afford a dingy.
@ Booty - Hi! I am getting tired of posts that won’t go! I typed up a good one and it didn’t post… :( Sorry, I don’t have time to do it again right now. I need to be off and get some things done around the house.
@Skeptic

@Wench Nikkiee
*snicker… probably not. Mayhaps it’s time for some “therapy”… Are you in, Spider? (kidding, please don’t get mad)
I got bitten by a really big spider I got out a bath once. It didn’t draw blood or anything, I think it only did it to keep a grip on my hand as it was loosing it’s grip.
.
I was going to by one of these, http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/toys-games/remote-control/rc-pirate-ship/index.html#top
but then I went and donated the money to the James Randi Educational Foundation.
.
Ahhh well.
Oh Beastly - you good little boy you!
I must admit to being a bit disappointed you haven’t got the pirateship though :( ;)
I am not going anywhere near Cornwall then - spiders that leap on you when you are getting out the bath - WAH!!!!!!!
I can already tell I am going to have nightmares about spiders tonight. Thanks guys. =P

Dingy, dingy… watch it, dude, I’m “godfather” of part of a Greenpeace Zodiac. Still have the little blue flag that accounts for that.
.
By the way (I said this on the main page earlier): why not ask advice from Greenpeace people? They own four ships (more or less: the “MS Greenpeace” doesn’t exist anymore under that name), and if any movement has experience with promoting their ideas through sailing (OK, actually only the “Rainbow Warrior II” has sails), it’s them! I visited the “MS Greenpeace”, the “Rainbow Warrior II” and the “Esperanza” (when still at the wharf in Holland, nearly finished): great feeling! Those people know about sailing and promoting an idea with it!!
.
RAmen to you (almost sailing for real) Wenches and Pirates!

Don’t worry: when Alchemist is feeling the need to “unload”, he would manage to get banned from his own forum. Hahahahahaha… oops, sorry Alchemist, couldn’t resist it. Any xtreme forums that still are admitting you (apart from the Mills’ circus, of course, they’re a separate specimen)?
@Rowdy Wench Mar 17th, 2007 at 5:52 pm “@ Jean Bart - Brilliant! Between all of us this thing might just get sorted! :)”
.
I’m more a “mountain & woods” person than a “sea” type, but aboard the Greenpeace ships I thoroughly envied the crew, mainly because of the mentality. They’re a nice bunch altogether, seemingly all dedicated to the cause, whatever their rank is. There are more points in common between Greenpeace sailors and FSM Pirates than you’d think…
@ Jean Bart - I’ve never known much about the Greenpeace group. We don’t hear as much about them in the US as I did when I lived in England - and that was 20 years ago. Sounds like a good group though! And I too love mountains and woods - there is much majesty in them.
@ Booty - finally got over losing the post earlier. On the note of spider bites I told my husband that I said I get them once a year and he said “Oh yeah, easy, maybe 2 or 3 times a year.” And now I’ll drop that so Batman can sleep tonight!
The rest of my comment was that I think it would be fun to train dolphins! I train teenagers and horses, so dolphins may not be that big of a stretch! :)
One last remark concerning the ship thing: how exactly is this ship going to be used to propagate FSM? Not by blocking Japanese whalers, I hope… Trying to find trace of Noachs’s Arch might be a purpose: if found without traces of dinosaurs, we’ll be lucky! No, seriously, I’d like to see a “masterplan” of this PR happening, and I’d like to know if, by international maritime navigation rules, the jollyfish will be allowed as a flag…
RAmen!
I can provide the muscle. Whether it’s moving goods on and off the boat or protecting Prophet Henderson from savages, I’d serve you proudly.
@ King Leonidas - Welcome, RAmen and thanks for the offer! Glad to have you on board.
@King Leonidas
mmmmmm… muscles…
.
Er, sorry. WELCOME!!!!
@ Batman - hahahaha! I know what you mean! :)
woot!
@Rowdy
Yeah, I’m a deprived wench. Even starting to think that Justin Timberlake is good-looking, which clearly indicates trouble. =( Bring on the muscles. And any other good qualities which I over-lloking due to my slightly inebriated state.
Judge not, that ye be not judged. I say, if that’s what you want then go for it. I’m not gonna judge. It is a lovely ship.
The only thing that really matters is serving Him in whatever way you can.
rAmen
@ Batman - “Even starting to think that Justin Timberlake is good-looking, which clearly indicates trouble.” Oh my! I hope you recover from that affliction soon!
To Ares… that was quite rude to all the PIRATES on this site. I suggest you apologize.
To Batman and Booty… I’ll be the official spider remover onboard. I love spiders and I always rescue them, so all you’ll have to do is scream “SPIDER ALERT!” and I will remove the offender and transport him elsewhere.

If it helps at all, think of the spiders’ eight legs as eight noodly appendages, and their eight eyes as extra spy power for bad pirates or fundies in boats :)

Only one post right now. Good but blurry times tonight… stupid free beers. I rocked naem that tune, which means free beer arnd shots. So… very good St Paddy’s day. Even (tried) to talk with an Irish accent… probably cocked it up though. Glad to see you are all having fun… who is stupid Ares? Lil’ rotten meanie. No longer think JT is handsome… he has funny shaped head. And his facial hair is all whiskery and sparce. Not hot. Nikkiee, if you are getting rid of spiders, then you are both my hero and my friend. Will you transport them really far away? Like, put them on little paper airplanes and shoot them out over the water? This is starting to sound like a good voyage… we have muscles, and a navigator, and three sexy bartenders, and a shark blower-upper, and now a spider transporter. Sign me up.
.
Iron gill Kidd, sorry I called you a boy. I think lots of people think I am a boy at first too, but that is because I chose a boy name for reasons I can’t remember right now. I’m sure you are a wonderful girl…
.
@Ares
You are stupid. I’m a bit stupid right now too, but there are two differences between us.
1. I know I’m being stupid… you seem to be under the misapprehension that you are clever.
2. I am drunk, and when I recover I will be clever again. You, however, will always be dumb. Unless you seek help and start reading some books, and maybe work on learning some multi-syllable words and some more creative insults.
My point is, piss off. The pirates on this site are all hot, and the wenches are all lovely. I’m sure you’re quite ugly, and dumb, and you’re trying to compensate with your pitiful attempts to bring others down. Surely you could go find a site for stupid people, and not only will you fit right in, but you might find a more appreciative audience.
.
@Pirates and Wenches
I am completely assed right now. If this post offends anyone, please know that I will be very sorry in the morning.

@Ares
Except you. If you are offended, then your reading comprehesion skills are better than I am giving you credit for.

Batman out. =)
@Batman
“I know I’m being stupid… you seem to be under the misapprehension that you are clever.”

Don’t you just love that Batman :)
Ha! You have no chance Ares! Batman would blow you out the water in less than a nanosecond.
I agree, Batman, there are loads of wonderful pirates on board - but I am sure you will find your own landlubber and convert them to the embrace of his wonderful Noodliness ;)
Oooh Batman…looks like Ares has seriously got the hots for you. Luck girl ;)
meant “lucky girl” Batman :)
@Ares
Watch it!! Some of the pirates here have special thing for some of the wenches. When Alchemist thought I was moving in on Nikkiee, he got out his big, lethal frying pan. And I definately have a soft spot for wench Batman. Say the wrong things and you’ll soon find yourself on an ‘evolutionary dead end’.
Ohhhhh this site is bursting with love. :P
.
Anyway Ares, didn’t your mummy ever tell you it was rude to ask a strange girl for a kiss?
.
@Batman, ooooooh! Two admirers in one day… you’re hot sauce baby.
.
.
Oh, and @Booty, yes I’m doing something strange at uni. This is just the application of a little high school economics. As for the pub, well of course.
.
The ship will need to be drydocked occasionally for maintenance and when we do, the hard working crew will need a place to kick back and relax. Plus, we’ll need a large warehouse (or 5) to store all our plunder.
.
.
Finally, if we’re all putting our hands up for jobs, I guess i can put my hand up for ship’s Drunken and Debauched Student (I’m sure it’s a legitimate post). Otherwise, stick me in the crow’s nest.
$100K, woah, good job there Bobby, I like the look of both boats but I would rather like you to come over the Atlantic and give us a preaching. I’ve been looking at boats recently, smaller ones than your’s mind, and there are some reasonable looking river/shore boats for less than £5000. Parading one of those down a busy river with lots of posters down the sides will probably get you some extra interest.
@ Jingles - are you calling Batman a strange girl? Not a good plan if you ask me!!
High School economics? I went to an all girls school - we just did home economics - and I still can’t cook!
Still, serves me right for spending the lessons trying to explode an egg in the microwave without getting caught I suppose ;)

“thank you for calling Tiscali……..”
Thankfully I have my migration code :)
There are some good folks on ItpOG - (mostly trolls I think) and some *very* tempting targets too!
People, if soon you’ll notice Ares speaking with a speach impediment, that will be caused by loosing large part of his tongue, due to unappropiate use of it (see Ares Mar 18th, 2007 at 6:15 am)
Fucking hell Ares - you’re turning ME on now :)
Shit, time for a brisk run and a cold shower!
I’ll give you this though - you do have taste! Batman’s a doll! If it wasn’t for Wench Nikkiee and her frying pan of pleasure I’d be emigrating to Canada!
@Ares

Look out, close your browser, your mom’s behind you!
R U a lady Jean? A lady wouldn’t say such silly things. A lady would perhaps want to talk about something a bit more grown up and a bit more fun.
Eeeeuw, when I glanced Ares’ post incompletely, I read “I’m nibbling gently on your bottom” for a moment.
To those who have been here longer than me: have we had any trolls with a slightly pervy side to them before here at CoFSM?
@Batman
“@Pirates and Wenches
I am completely assed right now. If this post offends anyone, please know that I will be very sorry in the morning.”
.
Sod that, let fly if you want! If people take offence then they shouldn’t be on an unmoderated site! Ego, Egas, Egat, Egamus, Egatis, Egeunt (note to Latin scholars - that might be wrong - esp. the 3rd person pl. Egeunt. Couldn’t be arsed checking it :( )
.
Batman - you say what you bloody want to :) and tell your goat I’m thinking of her (or him - not fussy as long as it has horns)
Hey everyone.
Haven’t been here in a while, what’s been going in my absence?
RAmen
Ares -
““Hi I’m Dutch. Can I shit in your mouth and film it.†”
.
I believe it’s called “Caviare”
(I really have to stop going to some of the darker sites)

Hi Pixel. Nothing much really. You ok?
@Alchemist
Careful there buddy. Though you are a fine pastafarian and online friend, you’re threading into dangerous territory with your last few posts addressed to Batman.
@Pixel
We’ve been up to stuff that might make you want to read JBs post to Arse from 6.43 am in this thread.
@Ares
I beg your pardon? Do we know each other?
“Arse” Hey thats an anagram. Funny! U must B a very clever boy. A clever boy that likes 2 wear a nappy and get bottle fed by a fat woman dressed as his mommy.
@Arse
I am deeply impressed by the intellectual depth of your posts. Can you teach me that please? I’d really like to be as good as you. If only I could be….
U never will B little Dutch boy. Go stick your finger in a dyke and let Batgirl become Batwoman.
@Arse
Ah, you know Batman too, up to the point of her preferred sexual orientation. You sure know a lot of people. So much that it makes me wonder. People, could Arse actually be the FSM posing as a person?!? His wisdom, knowledge and intelligence are so immense that I think he can’t be a mere human. Behold, we have witnessed the presence of the FSM! Ramen, it’s an historic day for all of mankind. Small pity though that the FSM turns out to be such an arse.
@ everyone - What’s going on here? I feel as though this site has mutated into something I don’t understand. It used to be fun, but now it just makes me sad and disinterested. I can’t stand to read all the prior posts, so forgive me if I’m jumping to conclusions. It seems that we are arguing amongst ourselves and it’s unclear to me why. I’d rather argue with rabid fundies. Peace.
@DPG
The posts to Batman weren’t insulting her. Anything but! The Ego bit wasn’t a dig at her - sorry if it came over that way!
Batman - you do know I wasn’t having a go at you I hope? Damn! we need emoticons on this site - far to easy to read things the wrong way.
.
My sense of humour is a bit iffy at the best of times - was even bought a T shirt with “Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know” by a, sadly deceased, friend once.
@Arse Mar 18th, 2007 at 7:17 am “U never will B little Dutch boy. Go stick your finger in a dyke and let Batgirl become Batwoman.”

Hmmm, heavily underestimating our Batman, arn’t you, kiddie? This time you got away with it, telling your mom you need to browse to suspicious websites for homework, but she’ll get wise sooner or later.
@Alchemist
I wasn’t worrying about you offending Batman, but about the “I’d move to Canada” bits. The Hell you would! I’ll hit you harder with the Mighty Frying Pan if you do that, than you would hit me if I made a move on Nikkiee (sorry to sound possesive Batman, but too many guys seem to be after you. Damn them all).
@JB
Don’t count on Arse’s mother wising up any time soon. Arse inherited his intelligence from his mothers side, so she’ll be slower than a slug on morfine.
@DutchPastaGuy Mar 18th, 2007 at 7:30 am “(sorry to sound possesive Batman, but too many guys seem to be after you. Damn them all).”

Hehe, did you realize that Pirates who like beer (even if it isn’t GREEN) have an advantage?
Dutch Guy. Sarcasim in not clever.
Batgirl I must apologise if I have behaved badly. I hope U R not offended and we can talk soon.
Maybe U’d like to talk with me Jean?
DPG
HAHAHAHAHAHA! got you :)
Sorry mate, wasn’t trying to get in the way of you “cutting the rug” with our cute Canadian caped crusader :))
Don’t worry mate - Wench Nickiee is enough for me :) we can put the frying pans down! Unless you fancy……..hmmm, nah! I don’t think me poor prostate could take a foursome
