So I am less than 34 hours from starting my new job at ACS, and suddenly I am dreading it. I’m not looking forward to it at all, in fact. Not because I don’t think I can do it. Not because I don’t think it’s a good job. Not because of any fault of the job itself at all in fact. No, I am dreading it, because I am beginning to realize that maybe I missed out on one of my child hood dreams. I don’t want to work in an office anymore. I want to do what every kid wants to do. I want to be a pirate!
Not the kind that steals music or software. Not the kind that wrestles, like jakegarrett. Not the kind that has anal sex with other men. No, I want to be a real honest to goodness pirate. Raping and pillaging on the high seas! See, I thought like so many other adults that the days of piracy were over. A vestige of times gone by. But apparently that is not true. It turns out that piracy can still be a highly lucrative career. Why the hell didn’t anyone tell me that you could still go out and be a pirate in the 21st century? Dammit, I never would have bothered with the whole college thing, if I’d known that. Fuck! Ok, granted, these particular pirates were lame and were scared off by a sound effect, but that doesn’t mean that the idea isn’t sound. I’m ready, I have the sword, all I need is a parot and I’ll be all ready to take to the high seas. Who’s with me. max1975? My hypos is getting the better of me. What say you?
And yes, nemesisn4sa, I’d totally be willing to be a ninja instead. In fact, I’d prefer it. If you can find me a lucrative business opportunity doing that, I’m totally in. Until then, Arrrr!
I’m bad at taking orders, so I’d have to be captain, but sure, I’m in. Arr!!!
not on my ship you won’t. You got a problem with that, you can walk that plank right now and swim to shore.
Aye aye, “sir!”
*splash*
hey… at least you have code.
Naturally. You never know when God’s gonna be watching.
Did you order the code red?!?!
shyeah right, like you can handle the truth…
Boy, don’t you know I’ll rip out your eyeballs and piss in your dead skull? You’re fucking with the wrong
marinepirate.Actually, piracy is a big problem in southeast asia. Pirates will take over a cargo ship, kill the crew, and fence the goods. Rumor has it that they sell them in China, perhaps with the cooperation of the Chinese military.

and you couldn’t have pointed that out to me 13 years ago?
You know I’m down. I’ve already got a parrot on my shoulder, and I’ve been looking for a good reason to add the word “pillage” to my resume. Arrrrrr!
because you already have rape and plunder?
No, I just think that “pillage” is a neat word.
then by all means, just add it. Say you used to pillage for SEI. Who’s ever gonna check?
oh mav, you can’t be willing to be a pirate and a ninja. they are natural enemies. it’s one or the other, and i see where your loyalties lie. power, riches, rape…the ninja seeks not these things.
I have no loyalty. Loyalty is for suckers. I blow with the wind. And right now, I’m torn. On one side we have power and riches with the pirates, but I hear the ninjas have a great dental plan and a 401k. These decisions are so hard.
loyalty is for ninjas. you have chosen which side you stand on.
bah! to hell with it… I’m a ronin. I’ll kill you all!
Yarr! Captain Fancypants and I are totally in!
wow… assembling a decent crew. So how much startup capital do we need to invest in a decent pirating vessel?
arrrr!! need a figurehead for yerr boat? I’d be willing to wear a mermaid tail…
heheh… if you really want, I never thought be strapped to the front of the boat would be that much fun, but uhhh… whatever floats your boat… uh, or something…
Personally, when I grow up, I want to be neither a pirate or a ninja, I want to be a ROBOT! With DEATH RAY EYES!
I know a lot of people who are always saying they want stuff like that, but I never wanted to have any elective cyber replacement stuff… maybe if I lost a body part or something, but cutting out your eyes to replace them with lasers on purpose is just kinda scary
No, no. Not become a robot, BE a robot. With the blinky lights and the mechanical walk and the pincher hands.
either way… I’ll stick to the flesh and blood thankyouverymuch
