You are The Cap'n!

Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

Flea Market Finds

Okay - watching HGTV in the background while I finish up some homework before heading to work. They showed a segment about antique weaponry and some of the items spotlighted were flintlock pistols from the Ottoman and Russian Empires.

These asshats narrating the show go on to say that, to be safe, these pistols should have the barrels filled in with lead by a local gunsmith to make them nonfireable!

What the FUCK!?!?!?!

It's not like someone can accidentally fire a friggin flintlock! Not unless the owner is as stupid as these doddering fools and keeps it primed and packed. And even then ... Just CHRIST ON A POGOSTICK!!!! My brain is still reelign over this.

These octagenarian fucktards are supposed to be offering advice on how to keep these finds in their most valuable condition! How can they in good faith offer that friggin advice? They didn't suggest that sword collectors have the hilted welded into the scabbards!

I hate asshats like that.
