Update on Jolly Roger: "The Pirates of the Pacific": DDG-100 is the only US Navy vessel currently authorized to continuously fly the Jolly Roger.
Previously: USS Kidd (DD-661) & USS Kidd (DDG-993).


Why? Sailors aboard the first USS Kidd, Fletcher-class destroyer USS Kidd (DD-661), named after Rear Admiral Isaac Kidd, started the tradition because of the Scottish Captain Kidd.

Here’s Why The Destroyer USS Kidd Was Flying A Huge Pirate Flag As It Pulled Into Port


From tonight's JEOPARDY. One of the contestants got it.




May 2, 1999: macho legend Oliver Reed died at 61 while filming GLADIATOR. Reed had consumed 8 pints of beer, 12 shots of rum, half a bottle of whisky, and shots of cognac after challenging sailors from HMS Cumberland to a drinking contest in a pub. He was arm wrestling sailors when he collapsed. "You sold me queer Giraffes." Some say that's called an honorable death. "We Mortals Are But Shadows And Dust" - R.I.P. Proximo. Frens, take it from a former sailor, don't arm wrestle and drink with sailors.


The ghost of Proximo now haunts Russell Crowe.


Me, if Biden gets re-installed.

Funny, but thought I glimpsed a bit of Jack Nicholson. Err, maybe Orson Welles too, muttering "Rosebud" just before the last gulp.


Interesting words for today...


Just splooting while waiting for the skelcher to stop.


Even CNN knows he posts bangers.




Splooting and looting, our modern rules-based international order.




This 2006 patent for a Full Body teleportation system using a pulsed gravitational wave wormhole generator that teleports a human being through hyperspace from one location to another is probably one of the most bizarre gobbledegook patents I've ever read. We Rogues could build one and teleport ourselves to a remote south pacific island. Yay, freedom!


Disclaimer: Not all body parts may arrive in same location...some may land on Pitcairn Island.

Teleporting back to reality, John Q has a number of bizarre patents. "Walking through walls training system" - surely gets the internet buzzing, because 'abandonment' status.


America tilted. One ping only, please.


Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin on the set of THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER (1990)
Connery considered Baldwin to be a bloody idiot as it took him many takes to get his lines right. BTW, you can buy a nice 16x20 print for $1,250.00.
