Have I joined a cult?

"I'd says you be gettin' tha' Black Dinghy Berry... She's always hangin' on to tha' rear o' the Black Frigate!"
But the heads are up for'ard, Carolina. Otherwise we'd be havin' a fearsome fug with a following breeze!

 

[slowroll]

Kinda looks like it's become captain of the head 8O

 

[bouwser]

Arrrgh, I think I just joined. Permission to come aboard?

 

[aldecaker]

That little figure reminds me of the Barber-surgeon on the Poop Deck. Keep a weather eye out for him!

Granted!

Enjoy your commission, Cap'n! Arrrrrgh hardy, har, har.

:rofl:
Well, I must say that all worked out much smoother than I expected. Congrats on your new Frigate vessel seacaptain...and good luck! (it looks like you're gonna need it)

Hmmmmm...well, I tried it today. It's ok, not bad, but not the greatest thing ever. Looks like I'll be staying in port with my straight VA's. ::

Hand in your captain's hat as you leave the thread

 

[brian64]

Well, I guess they still need someone to man the dinghy now (and don't look at me...I'm a seasick-prone land lover).

If you didn't see unicorns, you're doing it wrong.

It seemed more like a "sweet" English blend, as opposed to 965 or Nightcap which are more "smokey" or "leathery".
It's probably the rum soaked cavendish that gives it the "sweet" flavor.

 

[seacaptain]

Ok, I tried the Manhattan Afternoon VA flake also. I guess I shouldn't have smoked it in the morning. Or someplace other than Manhattan. Not impressed.

Hmmmm . . . I actually had to check my notes to see if I have any Black Frigate. I do have various tins with nautical and pirate themes.
Ah . . I do have a tin of Black Frigate. After this thread, it looks like I’ll have to open it and give it a try.

 

[brian64]

Is a 5 star general overqualified to man a dinghy?

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

as opposed to 965 or Nightcap which are more "smokey" or "leathery".

The latakia in Black Frigate is very much in the background as opposed to a strong presence in Black Frigate. There's just enough to make it interesting. Although I very much like latakia, I feel like the blend wouldn't be as good, in my opinion, if more were added. As it is, I love it.

Not if the 5 star general wants to man the dinghy. I wouldn't be the one to tell him he couldn't. :lol:

Looks like today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Looks like the perfect reason to open my tin of Black Frigate matey !

 

[Chasing Embers]

Aye that it be matey. :mrgreen:
