Well, if we have big enough cannon, we could use bowling balls for shot instead of cast iron balls, besides, I have better things to do with the powder than waste it on petty destruction.

I can use it for GRAND destruction :wb:

I will, um, guard the rum. The rum needs protecting.

Just be sure to keep an eye on Jack.  We can't have our monkey getting drunk and falling overboard.

Now that's the kind of efficient-minded thinking we need on this pirate ship!

:P

So can I please install a few modern howizers so I can free up more barreled powder for my fireworks and distractions for the law :wb: I think 3 howizers would be sufficient, also do we want to have a sail/wheeler? I think that would be cool (with the paddle wheels on the sides)

Oooh fireworks... I think I'll just leave all that up to you, my friend.  You seem very knowledgeable on the subject.  Besides, I'll be much to busy, what with teaching the parrot all those properly pirate-y phrases and training Jack NOT to doo-doo on the poop deck.  (Note to self - ask somebody what the heck a poop deck actually is.  Terribly important, that.)

-----

dictionary.com -
poop deck
–noun a weather deck on top of a poop.


American Heritage dictionary -
poop deck   
n.   An exposed partial deck on the stern superstructure of a ship.

Oh oh oh... now I get it.

Mid-calf boots, pants shredded from the knee down from playing in the sand too much, striped shirt, smarmy bandana... Aye, that's the outfit I sewed up for my PUR pirate.  Sexiness abounds on vagabond vessels.

Especially after those nights when somebody gets carried away and does something silly, like stick a knife in one and slide down to the bottom.

Don't want to spoil your thoughts, but Mythbusters proved that one wrong. They did an entire episode on Pirate myths (Ninja myths too, but different episode). Who else watched it?

The discussion of lesbian lingerie makes me laugh.

Aww, Talmann, there you go, bursting my bubble.  You're just no fun at all.  Next you'll be telling me that we can't shoot bowling balls out of a cannon.

Oh, no, that's perfectly possible with the right size of gun, though I can't guarantee the bowling balls will stay in one piece considdering the forces involved.

Clothing and lingerie aren't always the same thing just because homosexuality is involved, darling.  ;)

I saw the ninja episode and the Ask A Ninja podcast with them!  It made my whole day.
