It's over for me! Home from school, should be getting ready for the tent-erection practice at cubs.

> tent-erection practice at cubs . Please tell me you didn't hold practice at Neverland Ranch.

LOL No, it's practice putting tents from a packaged state to a fully-unfolded and useful state at speed - there's a competition next week. In the dark!

. I figured that out the second time I read it. Didn't sound good, at all, the first time. Don't know if it's the differences in King's/Colonial English or if I'm just a dirty old man.

Arrr! Be the land-lubbin' childers rightly impressed by ye? An' 'ave ye been a-press-ganging any of 'em into a-joinin' the pirating life?
Reply 13 years ago
I don't think the scunners be impressed - more confused when I made them answer the register Aye, Cap'n!, then the deputy head came in and we had a conversation that consisted entirely of aargh!.
That was when they started to edge sideways out of the room... =D
