Well, I'm going to have to reserve personal judgment on the italicized booty... but I think I have the general idea...  LOL  Perhaps we need a few more examples of it, though, eh??? 

I'm guessin' the chocolate better be presented for portioning, eh, but anyonething that could melt the chocolate from a few feet away is mine to keep, if I so chose?!?

[Taffy Saltwater]

Since we're talking about idealized booty, may I suggest we post a picture or video of our objet du desire?  Keep it clean, folks!  To begin, I give you:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7A_bJFZNXE

[Rani Zemirah]

Well... this is something I wouldn't leave layin' on the pile...



That would definitely be comin' back to the ship wi' me (for a good while, anyway)!!!      

[Taffy Saltwater]

Quick! The smelling salts - I feel vapourish!

[Rani Zemirah]

Perhaps ye need ta' be loosenin' yer stays, Commodore??? Get a little o' th' breath back in yer...!

Tis' a powerful image, aye! Sets the heart ta' racin' an' the blood ta' boilin', that it does!!! And can you imagine that aloft in the riggin'?!? What a gift, any time o' th' day...

I want the deed to this. I have been coveting this piece of property for years now.

Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for, worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts.

That is a beauty of a treasure to be had.

[Rani Zemirah]

Here's a little somethin' I drool over from time to time...

[Taffy Saltwater]

The Orderers have extraordinarily good taste - thumbs - & Phins - up!

[Rani Zemirah]

I agree, and I'd like to see more of this subject matter!!!

Phins WAY up!!!

1877 On October 27, the square-rigged barque ELISSA is launched from the shipyard of Alexander Hall & Company, in Aberdeen, Scotland.


I like this one.

[Rani Zemirah]

Very nice!!! I'd sail on her!

[LadyShadow]

For as old as she is, Galveston does allow tours that go out into the Bay.

[Welsh Wench]

This is the one I...um....

Never mind.

[Rani Zemirah]

WW, I'm sure she was lovely, before the... accident...!

(maybe a little more to starboard next time??)
