That's NO pirate! This debonaire dude looks a lot like ZORRO (I believe the Guy Williams version). Now, ZORRO is a hero... a Robin Hood with dashing good looks and a personality to make any woman swoon! (Antonio Banderas.. ahhhhhh....)

I think I've attached a couple of pix of Zorro... one which shows his horsepower is AB

Aye and my MINI be havin some black trim along the bottom, not unlike ye black hat an' ye black vest. Tis what gives depth to the whole.

Oh Princess Buttercup is so sad that she can't tell her beloved Wesley from Zorro. But in either case, the masked man is actually the Good Guy

I must sacrifice myself to the ROUS for my ignorance ...

humbly...

Princess Buttercup, the Dread Pirate Roberts' Wench.... arrrrrrrr

Hm...well...This thread has a seriously re-occuring piratic theme, so diverting from it completely doesn't sound overly reasonable...

Let me cogitate on another dumb question to put forward...

Target Rich Environment Exists

I, too, have noticed the lack of due diligence by many thread posters. Seems to me there's a target rich environment for 'dumb questions' ... for instance,
  • Why are CR or BRG owners content about their color choices in face of strong evidence that other choices would have been better?
  • Why does the Clubman crowd seem to think their variant is superior?
  • Why do the vee-formations of flying geese appear to be asymmetric?
  • Why does pirate speak elicit a huge response, whereas the Grammar Police thread languishes in disuse?
  • Why, in many organizations, does the equation [[ ranked position in the organization times IQ = constant ]] hold true?
  • And so on ... and so on ...

    You pose some very GOOD questions. Except for that first, of course...

    "Brit" speak elicits the same kind of response as pirate speak...even with the same kinds of accents.

    At long last... a bump for this most excellent of threads which represents the beginning of my car turning me to The Dark Side.

    Ah... to plot world domination again and march alongside the foot soldiers...

    Aww thanks RD... and yeah, I agree... those were some fun days. Especially international talk like a pirate day.

    I haven't seen the OP for this thread around in a while, which is sad. He started some of the most epic fun I've ever had on NAM.

    AH YES!!! This lovely thread. I'm pretty sure this is the thread where I first realized how wickedly fun RandomG is...and how prolific a poster RedDragoon is...and TNMiniMama! *sigh*....

    Ok, so if we're not on pirate speak anymore...whats next?
