    Plank pirates rarely indicate historical walks made by anyone especially when the girls were watching.

    ā€¦ Well-behaved women seldom make historyā€¦

    ā€¦ā€˜cuz Iā€™m the bad guyā€¦

    ā€¦would have been <even worse/betterā€¦

    ā€¦if Billie sangā€¦

    .."might seduce your Momā€¦

    ā€¦of course, thatā€™s coming from meā€¦

    ā€¦the lifetime invisible manā€¦

    ā€¦ and the Urban dictionary meaning is quite surprisingā€¦

    ā€¦and if itā€™s a real thingā€¦

    ā€¦I either need to get out moreā€¦

    ā€¦or become more invisible ā€¦

    ā€¦hardly made means that they did make someones walk the plankā€¦

    ā€¦in Froglandia walking the plank means, taking a sobriety testā€¦

    ā€¦orā€¦

    ā€¦reading long meaningless commentsā€¦

    And here I thought it had something to with the Max Planck Institute.

    As an aside, lateral thinking works for me. Especially in a no passing zone.

    The Halloweā€™en Jack is a real cool cat. And he lives on the top of Manhatten Chase. The elevatorā€™s broke, so he slides down a rope, onto the street below. But he keeps a plank for house guests.

    We will end our lives.

    Yet to survive.

    To walk a plank of wood.

    And fathom downward like we should.

    To the seaā€™s bottoms hood.

    With plankton and an anchor.

    To the death and then our friends at the Heaven door.

    Because Iā€™m nerdy (ā€œalthough active and attractiveā€), I wonder where one goes to research historical pirate records. In this case I think they must have crashed a Busby Berkeley set.

    Some days Frog Applauseā„¢ makes no sense.

    Some days the Frog Applauseā„¢ comments make no sense.

    Some days Frog Applauseā„¢ and the Frog Applauseā„¢ comments make no sense.

    This is one of those days.

    Itā€™s important to have more than one ridiculously horrible punishment available, and itā€™s important to have this widely known. (Keelhauling. Marooning. Walking the plank.) Otherwise, who would take you seriously?

    Some of those pirates were black, Asian, female every culture and ā€œraceā€ were represented on pirate ships.

    Numerous top ruthless pirates, some even captains, were female (but not Ruth). And prisoners, even the cast of a sea-going Busby Berkeley musical, were too valuable for walking the plankā€”either good for ransom or as fodder for Caribbean slave markets. Either way, profitable alive for the piratesā€¦.
