What!? I don't have any relevant pirating experience. *shifty eyes* What on earth would make you think I have relevant pirating experience? *cough, cough* I gave that boat back when I was done with it. That hardly even counts.Is it too late to enlist in this plan? (Muahahah.) Depends. Do you have relevant skills and/or experience? Because, you know, we need someone with relevant experience... who has... stolen boats and... stuff. |

I liked GK Sierra post because I like quotes. Not because I have any affinity for Piracy. |

I thought the definition of "warning shot" was that you don't shoot at them... You don't fire a warning shot when the end goal is to STEAL ALL THEIR BOATS. That would be silly and give away the element of SURPRISE! You've been pirated! Not that I know anything at all about pirating. |

Is it too late to enlist in this plan? (Muahahah.) It's never too late to fly the Jolly Roger! If there's one thing history has taught us, it's that the pirate life is durable. There's more of them now than there were in the glory days of sail. Reminds me of a quote by HL Mencken: “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” Can I join? I have rum for everyone! |

In his defense, they were making their intentions fairly plain by the time the words left his mouth. When you see speedboats approaching you in those waters, they are probably not coming to say hi and drop off their lemon cake recipe. Every man who brings communal rum is entitled to a double share of the loot! |

 Pretty sure I can come up with something better than this given enough time. (And when I am not supposed to be working. |

I like Stede Bonnet's version, personally.  See? There's a little heart there. Deep down, we're all gentlemen.  Ours would be significantly more complex I think. Or maybe just the two blinker signals superimposed into one weird shape? |

I was thinking Bismuth in the background. And a decommissioned court robot skull... perhaps. (True death and all that jazz) Or, even better, the symbol of the creator. |

Sig: Is it really necessary to kill them? 4/10 No, but it's much more effective that way. Plus, I mean, come on. Have you seen that paperwork? |

sapientcoffee's rating: Avt: A facepalming creature of some sort? 9/10 Txt: N/A Sig: Is it really necessary to kill them? 4/10 Not knowing about the comic Digger. *tsk*/smh And yes, we have to kill them because anything I put in my sig I believe without a shred of humor or sarcasm. It's definitely not just a quote that made me laugh. Nope. |

Well, the guy directly above me is also the most recent to be rated... ( Digger is on my to-read list and most of my "Early Soviet" knowledge comes from Animal Farm, anyways.) So, I'll rate the most recent poster to give a rating, then: IntelligenceAvatar: ★★★☆☆ Nice Coyote pic.Text: ★★☆☆☆ Non sequitur est.Sig: ★★★★☆ Funny one-liner, if a tad cliché. |

Concerning the original topic of this thread, the person above this post has a most delightfully unharmonious & terrible avatar profile text, 5/5. The avatar itself, hypnotic gif featuring a creature which looks like a horse that is... doing whatever it is doing, superimposed by Chinese characters, deserves 4.5/5 (because I don't understand the characters, even if they apparently are somehow related to the concept of 'the year of the horse'?). Signature: wtf forum game  /5. |
