Maybe not, the anniversary coincides with International Talk like a Pirate Day. :mrgreen:

Arrrgggg! Codswallop? I learned it with Codwallop!
I once was on the fence about BF, and then learned that was far better than being on the plank!
I now have a couple of pounds in the cellar and looking for more. It is, for me, one of the best tabaks I've ever smoked! I know, a couple of pounds isn't much, but you gotta give me a break. I have been cellaring since the 1980s, so like MSO, I gotta lotta leaf to get through. In the meantime, if I don't run out of time, BF will be doing its thing in jars.
Now that is being codwalloped!

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"

"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."

The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate...

"We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."

"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them pooped in my eye."

"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird poop!"
"Well," says the pirate sadly, "It was the first day with the hook..."

I'm only passing this along...I know nothing of its origins:
Anonymous warning to the Frigate boys...
Rumor has it Sherm has been prowling about the docks disguised and undercover seeking info on the Frigate's whereabouts and cargo.
Don't know if it's true, but he may be a double or triple agent (or something like that).
Below is purported to be footage of some such goings on:

^ lol ... Well, I'll take your word for it Sherm, but that parrot looks suspiciously similar.
It's not up to me of course, but perhaps the Frigateers can feed him some rum-soaked crackers and get him talking...maybe get to the bottom of all of this.

Yes, but you have to do the deed with that Parrot who lies from the Mizzenmast.
Now, I am still getting my sea-legs and learning my way around the deck - and while I did locate and identify the poop-deck, thankfully, it apparently had already been cleaned - thus, I am learning many Nautical Terms; like: Mizzenmast, so I will be using the term: Mizzenmast, whenever I can - to sound more "Piratey", of course. - "Scurvy" Sherm Natman, the eye-rate Pie-rate.
