Hilarious! Especially since I always thought that "shiver me timbers' was sadly missing from Honorverse pirate speak.

Funny post.

No probs. Just need the Honorverse equivalent of...
Shiver me members!

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Mistress Thorn has sent correspondence to Honor regarding the excessive domestication of the Grayson treecats - a continuing problem. The cats are losing their identity and hunting desire.

<We're hungry. Can we have rabbit and hotdogs?>

"Not today. It is time you learn to fend for yourselves."

some time later...

"What are you doing setting that poor dog on fire!"

<You said fend for ourselves. How hot do you have to get these beasts to make hot dogs? He looks pretty darn hot to us now.>

The Fun E. Bone Award - for excellence in humor and having reached the six-figure views milestone in chuckles, cackles, giggles, laughs and *chuckagiggles. Viewing this thread frequently, provides a natural vaccination - even fosters an immunity - against the dark side by encouraging the natural formation of anti-gloom&doom cells.

Having reached 100,000 views and active for years, I'd like to commend pokermind for giving us this thread. The humor thread keeps me sane and prevents funny bone dislocation.

I'd like to thank you poker, for a very pleasing, successful, funny and emotionally healthy thread. Perhaps I'll submit this thread to my insurance company and get a reduced rate.

Laughter is also the best preventive medicine -
and the next best thing to Prolong!


I wish more blood types would give. Any of us can always use a transfusion of humor and an occasional funny bone graft or adjustment.

Again, congrats poker... and thanks... to you and that hilarious flea-bitten mangy cat!

May the good times and laughs continue to roll.

Humor - the gift that keeps on giving.

*What's a chuckagiggle? Ever heard the laugh from people like Chanel West Coast on the show Ridiculous? There you go - whatever the hell that is, it is incredibly funny. Contagiously so.

Treecats can easily cut it as expert jugulars.

Treecats are making a killing at the State Fairs. They've mastered and reengineered the shell game. With four hands and five shells, the familiar quip of the announcer is memorable...

"Come on! Step right up! Take your chance to win 100 dollars. Just guess under which shell lies the ball as soon as your eyes stop spinning."

"Nope! Better luck next time!"

Believe it or not, Pavel Young has left a maneuver that is well studied in the tactical sims...

The flip-n-flee. Young was always able to execute the flip in half the time of mere mortals.

Just in...

First offering from Bolthole. The new Salamander Class of SDs.

During their workout trials they are all found to exhibit a quirk originally thought to be a design flaw. Under battle conditions the design exhibits a slight tick in the impeller wedge right before holy hell is unleashed.

It features a new, empathic variant of Apollo that locks onto and tracks fear. Its effectiveness has exceeded the expectations, in the worst nightmares, of the Shewolves of the S&S as it requires NO control links.

The correspondence sent to the SLN is 'Be afraid. Be very afraid.'
