I think there's more to this than what you see on the surface.

Let's keep the discussion on an even keel. I hope nobody goes off the deep end.

You can tell when people are out of their depth by their comments . . . some should really be running silent.

But that's what happens when nobody's at the helm.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'd expect better from such a straight board.

I generally hate pun threads, but this made me laugh. Well played. I can only hope you aren't keel hauled for that.

All these puns coming from a thread about a long boat that plunges deep while carrying seamen . . .
