So I made time to do a meme. Not too sure if it was a good idea.

Grab the nearest book.

Find page 45.

The first sentence describes your sex life for the next twelve months


*sigh*

“Behind the balusters of the forecastle a large number of soldiers, who were laying in wait there under a petty officer full of malice, were preparing to send us a murderous discharge from their muskets.”

Says it all really.



That is a bit of “How Half-Arse became Captain” from Memoirs of a Buccaneer by Louis le Golif. On the one hand it means I got a scary result in the meme – I’m wondering if penicillin would cure that ‘murderous discharge’, but on the other how cool is it that even at work, by absolute chance, the nearest book is about a guy called Half-Arse with a matelot called Pulverin?

It's just occurred to me that I have NO idea where my address book is. Still no worries, eh?

I thought the snippet from Standish showed a proper appreciation of the serving classes. Why shouldn't they get a bit too?
