Hello, I'm Kozmique.
Someone on another board posted an IotD (the giant dead bunny doll) some time back and I've been drawn to this site ever since. I finally decided to join after I saw the picture of the cyclops kitten. My cat had one of those when I was about 13. In addition to the single eye it was outfitted with a long and toothy proboscis. I didn't think to take a picture at the time because I was too busy screaming and running to the other side of the house. Aaahhh.... memories..... :eek:

Welcome aboard - sounds as though you have the type of information that fits in well here. Look forward to exchanging views with you. Have a strange creature of a cat myself, but more in the laid-back sense than the scary one. As soon as I can find a way to transfer the picture off my totally useless phone to my PC I'll show you what I mean.

ARRrrhh.......maybe not, matey. Yea never know when some blaggard's gonna put a shot through your sails. Best not put off shivering your timber and splitting the booty. ;)

Um, the booty is already split. It comes that way out of the wrapper.

then you need a bigger wrapper. It'll avoid the camel toe problem too.

September 19, people. Patience. Aarrgh.

While we're on to ships - anyone remember any of the verses to the Rugby song/poem 'The good ship 'Venus'??

I can remember a couple:

The opening one is:

'Twas on the good ship Venus
By God you should have seen us,
The figurehead
Was a Whore in bed
The mast an erected penis

And the other one I remember:

The first mates name was Carter
By God he was a farter
When the wind didn't blow
And the ship wouldn't go,
Then Carter the farter would start her

Similary verses to rugby versions of 'The Mayor of Bayswater', 'Immobile', and 'These Foolish Things' would also be welcomed

Rugby fans are clearly more literate and talented than American Football fans, who can sometimes manage to shout "you suck" in unison.

(In every other city in the US this is yelled at the opposing team. In Philadelphia, this is yelled at the home team. Opposing teams get snowballs lobbed at their heads, and their fans get beat up and sent to the hospital.)

Welcome, Koz!

Managed to send the picture to another phone which is more user friendly so now have the picture on the PC - not so good quality - have blown up a bit which doesn't help either, but at least you get an idea how stressed Calvin the pussy is...

Let's be fair--"Dallas sucks!" is also popular in Philadelphia.

I hadn't heard that about you.

roflcopter. thread over.

Thanks for the spirited welcome, I look forward to getting to know people here more.
I'm in a non-traditional pirate band, The Ben Gunn Society, and we actually got played on Dr. Demento for the last talk like a pirate day! We also performed at the Festival de Piratas in Portland 2 years ago and are planning to do it again this summer, when we're done recording our new CD. Here's the link to our site, where you can hear some songs off our first album. www.bengunnsociety.com

That makes you royalty as far as I'm concerned.

Good artist, art artist, not music artist, too :thumb2:
Now I'm not saying you're not a good music artist, I was just trying to clarify what I was talking about by saying you're a good art artist rather than a good music artist, which is also probably true but not what I was talking about.
Aw screw it, welcome aboard.

I'm not popular with certain people.

Especially telecom salesdroids.

"Here's some pricing. Why don't you sign a contract with us?"

"Hmm that's OK as far as it goes, but I need X and Y too."

"We don't do X. And I'm not sure why you think you need Y--if you run things correctly you should never need Y. We don't and most of our customers don't."

"OK, thanks for playing, we're going to go with somebody else."

"Oh, OK, do you mind if I ask why?"

"Because we want X and Y, and you won't do them, and your competitors will."

"OH OH no wait wait wait we can find somebody to do X!!! Give us another chance."

"Too late."



Oh, sorry for the threadjacking. Welcome to the Cellar!! UT is right about Dr. Demento.

:) Thank you again! I am enjoying my brief, oddly timed visits here. Numerous obligations including the attending to of a small person who is very interested in the computer prevent me from spending as much time on the infernal machine as I'd like. Will meet you all in the ether sooner or later.

Cheers!

ARRRRG, belay there we need more PIRATES here! I can only hope that you'll be bring'in up that youngen to be a Pirate.

Welcome Kozmique!

SteveDallas is right about UT.

:bows:

Welome to the Cellar, Koz.

And BigV was right about SteveDallas being right about UT. :lol:

I knew it as:
'Twas on the good ship Venus
By God you should have seen us
The figurehead
Was nude in bed
Sucking a red hot penis....

But I suppose there aren't official versions of this sort of song!

Another verse from memory:
The Captain's wife was Mabel
Whenever she was able
The second mate
She'd fornicate
Upon the galley table

Rude songs like this don't tend to be sung at matches -although some football chants are suprisingly witty. They are sung travelling to & from the game (while mooning out of the back window of a coach) and on drunken nights out.
