Thanx for the info, matey...now Cap'n Starkers 'n me c'n gae a huntin' b'low decks fer it!

Hankers and WOM b'ware lurkin' Pyrates!

evil snidely whiplash. evil WOM. Ye be gettin' yers....Po'll make a vid o' ye an' I'll cackle.

.....don't think these people on the other side of the world would be this adamant if the McCain campaign bus incident was only a myth

hmmm...somehow, this has a tone that is anything but sincere or helpful lol ;also bear in mind that after 523 replies, the 'thread' has gone linear in having anything whatsoever to do with the McCain campaign ticket so I don't believe my post on this thread was misplaced

SSC: I.D. was just tryin' ter be 'elpful, ''e was.

Me thinks this 'ere campaign 's turnin' real nasty.

Palin be unhappy 'bout the moose meat an' th' Road and Bridge t' Nowhere deals fallin' through. 'Tis the worse fer knowin' Cap'n Starkers be behind it all ('im bein' 'arf Pommy). Cap'n better b'ware she be out fer yer 'nads.

Next she be callin' us all fer consortin' wit' th' likes of you Canadians. She figgers that 'Lasker place she be from ends in Nova Scotia.

But nae fear! She be stumped by the "Eh?" she be hearin' from up thar. She also be thinkin' Montreal be in France an' Ottowa be sumpin wot ye hunts an' shoots. She also figgered "Toronto" be th' Lone Ranger's friend. Worse: 's 'orse be called "Trigger" an' she thinked it was 'er son! So she thought "Sarah, me girl....what be under tha' mask?"She figgers it be some feller be called Osama, and figgered he be Obama's friend 'coz they both start wivva O. Thanks but no thanks I sez!

McCain (be 'e related ta McAble 'r McDonald 'r McDaffy?) be jumpin' likes 'e woz sittin' on a 'ot cannon! I can'ts be larfin' at th' stuff 'e be sayin' 'ow nobody should trust the Obama 'coz 'e be raisin' taxes an' be a shifty bloke wot started wit' a Weatherman 'im an' is fren' Bush be gettin a trouncin' Tuesday fer sher! McCain fergets The Keating Five an' wot 'n all him 'n 'iis frens be doin' wit th' Saving & Loan Bankruptcies.

Mebbe 'e woz tryin' ter be a Pyrate?

And do you know what really pisses me off... Bill still hasn't paid me for that bit of work, it's not like he hasn't had the time or money since Vista/Aero got released.

Sorry 'bout that, WOM and Hankers... but I swear I wos gonna share the money with you guys after I took my 90% commission.

*Oops, I just embarrassed meself *

I don't know if or how many Aussies actually saw the 'video' here... I didn't, but the incident was reported and was a hot news item/talk-back topic for a few days. It may be true that you can't believe everything you read or hear, but an Oz current affairs program, reporting on unrelated matters, showed video clips of McCain losing his rag on more than one occasion... and I believe where there's smoke there's fire.

Also, from what I saw of McCain in those clips, there's something not right about the man (underlying issues, whatever) and I wouldn't want him in charge of my country.

Besides, I'd prefer to go with the younger man in Barack Obama, who doesn't need to depend on Viagra to stiffen his resolve/commitment/input... not like his Repulican counterpart, who suffers with ED (Exasperating Diatribe) and frequently puts his foot in it.   I mean, you know what happened last time Viagra was used in the White House... Bill and Hillary nearly came to blows, an intern nearly brought down the government and the Oval Office carpets had to be replaced.

Nope, can't have a repeat of that... and with Sarah Palin as VP, one would have to wonder if they'd get any government business done at all... being there's now a variant of Viagra, fondly known as the 'all weekender' and can be effective for several days.  Yup, it's pretty frightening prospect... an urgent bill to kickstart the US economy requires the President's signature, and the Oval Office door has a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on it and is locked from the inside.

Aye, I did 'ave a word in Gordon Brown's ear 'bout tha moose meat idear, tellin' 'im it wur not tha answer t' mad cow disease, an' 'e agreed wiv me... as did tha UK 'ealth Minister.  They reckuns tha Brit public wouldn' stand fer meat wot be full o' Palin's buckshot n' 'avin' ter pick it out so's 'em don't chip a tooth, etc.  Apart frum that products wot contain lead 'ave bin banned in Britain fer years now, an' when I told 'em tha Palin would prob'ly shoot most of 'em 'erself, they carboshed tha idear straight away.

Oh, an I doesn't 'ave ter wurry 'bout me nads none... ol' Maggie Thatcher bestowed upon I a 7 day supply o' iron drawers wot 'er 'ad made up speshul at Harrods like t' thank I fer services rendered t' tha country... she reckuned no emigrashun had e'er pleased 'er as much as wot mine did.

Aye, mate....thems wimmuns they be usin' us Pyrates then castin' us aside fer a younger model! sigh.

The old Pyrate sniffles, turns and shuffles away wif 'is shoulders saggin'.

Yeah, I feeled so dejected when 'er took up wiv a toy boy wot wos even younger than I wur... an I wos only sixteen at tha time.

Aye, but wit da patch and peg leg, ye looked 30.

Aye but 30 what be th' question.

I figger 'e be lookin' like a miwyon (million) bucks.....all green an' wrinkled!

Ye ferot me hook!  That thar added 5 years as well... bein' it 'aves some rust.

Aye, all wrinkly yes... but cert'nly not green... wiv all that thar curried cabbage tha missus feeds I, it be more of a yellery colour these days.

Rust at 16?  Ye be old!

Aye, rust at 16!  Me finks it wos cos I 'ad ter test me own bathwater t' be shure it weren't too 'ot.... an' sumtime I fergot which 'and I 'ad ter use. I'll tell ' wot, tho... I be glad technolergy 'ave come a long way since them thar days... now I 'aves an 'ook wot looks like a real 'and... makes I look 6 months younger.
