Do we all have to paint our boats grey now? Can I get my fake deck gun now? Huh? Can I, can I? And maybe a water baloon launcher? Gotta be able to defend ourselves on the high seas, you know! <br />What a motley rag tag outfit this fleet would be! But I like it!
Hey Mods! While you are at it can we get some new nautical "instant Graemlins"? Who uses the sailboat smiley? I've seen nautical flags, too, if the webmaster ever gets too bored and needs something else to add. <br /><br />The upgrades are really nice and very welcome. Good job iboats staff!
Boomyal, Nope I don't understand much of anything in that ridiculous arrogant nonsense PC language! I refuse to, as do the majority of fine folks here. Thank God! I started to write about how dim an opinion I have of the narrow, arrogant, nonsequitur PC philosophy, but decided not to since it wasn't in keeping with the theme of this thread....
OBJ, <br />I refuse to be "politically correct", meaning I think too much (and am too conservative) to go along with the silly games that the way far left has dreamed up. And I'm glad there are a lot of decent common sense folks who agree with me on that point right here on this board!<br />But I have a feeling you probably caught my meaning before and just had to give me a hard time about HOW I said it, huh? Did I say it better this time?
It's OK bubba....I'll share my pencils with ya'. Maybe we can get enough for a cup of coffee if we sell enough.<br /><br />OK. How do I get the smiley faces?
Awhhh.. Come on Admin5.. Commmander? Cheeze whizzzzz! I can't take that kind of pay cut... <br /> <br />Well, maybe a pay cut would be ok, but a discount in the Mega Mall might help make up for the cut?... <br /><br />Wait.... Admin... Your not going to take away the health benefits, are you?
