LOL. That is too funny. I think, however, it must have been 99 because I didn't join until Oct. of 98 and I do recall the thread. I'm not witty enough to compete in the "one-upman-ship" of that kind of thread. I'm more on the serious side. I did enjoy the ship though. I can't swim and it a a harrowing experience to cling to the Mainsail and yell "land ho!" in the hopes that the land would really be there. Finally I was relegated to manning the Bilge Pump because of the disturbance I made out of my fear of water. The Bilge pump duty was not too bad. I didn't have to look at all that great expanse of water. I miss the Cap'n.
I just wish some of these new folks with the norse kitties and pitchforks would just realize once in a bit that all of us from the poor side of the island should be treated with the respect and dignity due us uninvited alien types.
Which reminds me. Do you know how may threads I have tried to hijack in the last two weeks? Every last one. And no one has even taken a nibble. Do you suppose there is a conspiracy? Or is it just because there are only three people who speak to me anymore? I'm feeling so sorry for myself I hardly have the strength to worry about LadyX. When you talk to her ask her to get all her friends to start a thread about what a great gift to mankind I am and how humble and perfect and stuff like that?
Thanks.
Oh, and P. S. Make it sound spontaneous and post it in breaking news so nopardons can visit...Har de har har har...or maybe Howlin. Tea he.
