Ahoy me scallywags! May 2017 be sunk in th' lowest depths! Nah that 'twas a bad year, but we lost a few scallywags along th' way. May they remembered fer many years t' come as they were a joy t' 'ave aboard this fine ship... whether or nah they liked Black Frigate or nah. Sure we've had a few new names comes aboard, but thar are some whos ship sailed on 'n they will be missed. May 2018 be smooth sailin' fer us all, 'n may yer rum ne'er run out, 'n may yer pipes always remain full o' whatever yer tobacco o' choice. Happy New Year Pipes Magazine!

Here
The bottles are empty

The hands are all drunk
We're filthy and smell like

the Lakelands, or skunk (for you, woodsroad :nana: )
Our ships are all grounded

cause no one can see
If that is a buoy

or two, or THREE
The party is over

and drunks ground their skiffs
on sandbars afore, or

plumb up against cliffs
We'll wake to the dawn

of a new day and year
and wonder who got

the ship to the pier
We'll load up a pipe

and scramble some eggs
and cast furtive glances

at Mama's nice legs
And thankful we made it

clean through the last year
We'll load up our briar

and grab a cold beer.
May 2018 land ye much booty!

Where's the crew?
I'm all alone now with half a bottle of cognac...

Oh, well. The mission must continue. Follow me virtually and share my poor taste in music, via the "What are you listening to?" thread...

A little too much rum, I'm guessing. :rofl: I'm finishing up a glass of rum myself and about to hit the bunk. Normally I can stay up later, but today was a rough day at work so I was tired already. 2017 went out with a bang in the meat market today.

Why is she standing by the crow's nest without a third point of contact.
That is a very serious safety violation.....

Tonight, we have ale here. High of 34 degrees today.
May be warm to you northern sorts, but to a converted Texan with only a motorbike for transport, it's a logistic challenge.
I did learn that sitting on the porch in my insulated riding suit is quite comfy for smoking, even at freezing temps on a cold, metal chair. By the end of the pipe, however, my hot coffee HAD become iced coffee....

Hear hear!

I don't think we made it into the 30's here in Fort Worth today. And cold weather does indeed make for a miserable ride on a motorcycle. Ride safe Jay.
