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.
No racy language Dutch Guy? So do U think Batgirl won’t like me describing how I would kiss her toes moving slowly over her calves to her inner thigh and beyond?
@JB
Indeed, look at his language in the sand formations thread and you get an altogether different impression of our latest troll.
Yay, Wenches!
Bart, why would a woman like Batgirl want a pussy guy? She is a super hero after all. I’d see Batgirl as the type of super hero who’d like strong but gentle.
I’m not interested in the boys Dutch Guy. I think that theres one to many so called pirates on this site without enough steel in their trousers.
I’m bored. Tell Batgirl she had a gentleman caller will U please.
@Arse
We’re bored with you too. Goodbye.

We used to have a few fantastic independent breweries in Tykeland - Theakston’s, Websters etc - all bought out by the conglomerate monsters alas.
.
Theakston’s Old Peculiar (no joke - real name!) has been the guilty party in many of my younger forays (including the *cling-film*, *superglue* and *phenolphthalein* incidents!)

It got you drunk from the feet upwards - you felt fine but the minute you tried to stand up you ended up doing a fish impression on the floor with your mates pointing and laughing at you (and pouring beer on your head or trying to shave your eyebrows off)- I have a strange circle of friends - I’ll try to find a ‘photo of a field trip for you :- Dr ********* got hammered so we shaved him - he reapplied his eyebrows with a pen - only it was a blue one - he looked so funny :)
Steel? In their trousers?
Really, that’s not to be recommended you know - I am a urology nurse, I should know - you need to be very careful with foreign objects “down there” youcan get into all sorts of trouble - be sure to give me a shout if you have a problem though, I am very experienced with removal of the same - only a small charge for out of hours services.
I am sure you don’t need telling, Batman, but I would advise steering clear of the arse and sailing on over to the european contingent if I were you - we have a spare room if you need one :)
@ Arse
We’ll tell Batman she had someone talking out their arse at her - I am sure she will be delighted - not!
@Booty
Don’t forget to check my “Agnus Castus” translation… ahahaha!
I have - I posted - you can’t have got it yet.
Such a chaste little lamb I am - can’t you tell ;)
@Arse Mar 18th, 2007 at 8:57 am “Hi Booty. What R U wearing? Nurses outfit maybe? Want 2 play doctors and nurses?”

Poor kiddie, trying all the Wenches, to no avail. You’ll never be a Pirate, kid, forget about it, go play in the sand, build yourself a nice sand castle and try to play Almighty King of the Dunes. Be sure to dress well, it might be a bit chilly out there. Ask your mom for a hot cocoa.
I’m not Ares by the way! Just in case the nasty wagging finger of suspicion points in my direction (again)

Trolling on fundie sites should charge your agenda enough without extras that need you to lower your level to that of Arse! Would you be able to play that sort of troll, here, without your blushing face being covered by a slimy substance, the remains of what once was a fully funcioning brain, now leaking from your skull? Oops, better not challenge…
@JB
“Poor kiddie, trying all the Wenches, to no avail.”
Well, if you feel so sorry for him then why not be a kind ‘Jean’ wench and speak some sweet words to him. Keep the vomit bucket close to you at all time though.
JB
Spot on mon ami!
It’s just that I tend to get the blame these days! I couldn’t troll here ( I did once with Daniel and Damien) I hated myself for it! A few people who I like and respect bit - even after I said it was me.
So no! Alchemist doesn’t troll Venganza.org (although MPTrooper might be different :) - I fancy a pop at him)
And for the record - Alchemist is not always me!
Those that know me have questions that only I know the answer to!
The truth is out there! You only have to ask :))
Well, considering it is my day off, no I am not wearing a nurse’s outfit - and believe me I have quite enough of playing Doctors and Nurses when I am at work, and anyway I work in theatre’s - so I wear nice green pyjamas at work - very sexy!
But thanks for asking.
@Booty
I know a few excellent bits of ‘playing doctor’ you could do with Arse. Start by castrating him, using the bluntest tool available and no anesthetic (how do you spell that?). And then maybe move onto amputating his fingers so that he can’t type post anymore.
