Drink Up, Me Hearties, Yo Ho!

[Hugh Casey]

Today is "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!

Honest... http://www.talklikeapirate.com

And, since I have to go to work this morning (in a raging gale) at a financial company, let's all sing the "Accountancy Shanty"!

Monty Python - Accountancy Shanty
(written by: Eric Idle & John Du Prez)

LEAD PIRATE:
Full speed ahead, Mr. Cohen!

CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium. Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
Scribble away!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
And balance the books.
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
Scribble away!
CHORUS:
Up, up, up your premium.
PIRATE:
But manage the books.
CHORUS:
Up, up, up.

PIRATES:
It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!

It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible,
We're sailing on the wide accountancy!

LEAD PIRATE:
Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen!
PIRATE:
Sail away!...
CHORUS:
Up, up, up...
LEAD PIRATE:
Fetch me another exotic salute. To port! Bring her
port to shell out! And the medium guys shell out to
port! Balance the books! Bring me another small
shellfish, Mr. Cohen...

This bit of lunacy brought to you by...

Ay, tis Talk Like A Pirate Day, by thunder!

In honor o' the occasion, I nominates Luscious Liz, the Flamin' Fiery Female, t' be our pirate queen 'n' mascot fer the day. Liz, ye needs to put on yer thigh-high boots, skin-tight breeches, a poofy-sleeved shirt knotted up under yer "roundshots", and stick a cutlass in yer sash.

Ay, just like that. Darlin', ye put a shiver in me ol' timber.

Arrrrrr ya Scurvey Dogs.

"Kew!, Ya scurvey Dogs!"



Ok,OK Stop throwing things

Liz, m'dear, I don't care what Styro sez about ye behind yer back. I thinks yer jes' a big softy under that fierce 'n' thorny act ye puts on.

Now push yer hair back so ye cin tie this pretty floral bandana 'round yer head.

Blow me down, that's a glorious sight, wi' a wannion! I wishes I 'ad a figurehead like that under me bowsprit.

Lord Edmund Blackadder: "Look, there's no need to panic." Someone in the crew will know how to steer the ship."
Captain Redbeard Rum: "The crew, my lord?"
Blackadder: "Yes, the crew."
Cpt Rum: "What crew?"
Blackadder: "I was under the impression that it was common maritime practice for a ship to have a crew."
Cpt Rum: "Opinion is divided on the subject."
Blackadder: "Is it."
Cpt Rum: "Yes. All the other captains say it is. I say it isn't."

Blackadder II - "Potato"

Talking of rum I'd wager me hearties that our dear Liz has been sniffing the stuff (not drinking it though because that would be bad for the baby).

Basic physics. Mix somthing and it's anti-somthing and they cancel out.

Smite shield + Anti-Smite shield = dozens of blown circuit breakers, exploded console, and you without a shield.

So without further delay....


SMITE!


Don't forget I'm married to an engineer. I know these things. :

So ask your Engineer how they equip airplanes with Electronic Counter Measures AND Electronic Counter Counter Measures (they do exist on E3-A Sentries - oh God I sound like Cmdr Powers ) work?

SMITE!

You not gonna thank me for the links?

To you.....

In that case. My shields held due to my chief engineer reversing the polarity - again.

As for the sites, they were kind of meant as joke but possibly a useful one. If you get anything out of them then it's my pleasure.
