Would you consider going out with someone who was quite a bit twattier than you are?

You're single, you meet someone who is handsome and talented and who has a lovely face, but he/she is considerably more of an asshole than you are. Would this be a dealbreaker? Be honest now!

Oh Bernard Sumner, we would never have been happy together, would we?

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

Not for me, which explains a lot of my dating disasters when I was single.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

Obviously this has never been a dealbreaker for me, considering some of the twats I've dated. I guess it's kind of a moot thread, isn't it?

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:22 (twenty years ago)

(then again, I'm kind of an asshole, too. so the term "twattier" is a relative one.)

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:22 (twenty years ago)

er, yes. comparitives usually are.

How twatty would someone have to be to be twattier than me?

I still think that some of my exes apply there.

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

tough call. nobody dates a twat on purpose, surely? they probably seem nice at first, then a few months down the line you end up thinking "omg, this person's just a twat!"

obv, nobody wants to be a twat either, so they put on their special eyes when they meet people, and their true (twatty) colours only show when they let the special eyes slip.

i guess. what would i know?
this is probably an overly myopic and romantic view of it (because i'm DUH like that).

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure I understand this - possession of a twat is an absolute requirement in anyone I date.

Love is blind. And pirates are always hoist on their own petard...

you spread piracy everywhere you t(h)read. keelhaul!

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

IT WAS NOT THE KEEL!!! It was a hunk of coral that got attached to the keel while in the doldrums. Honest.

(Can we just skip the keelhauling and get to the bit with the rum, sodomy and the lash?)

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

i'll just take the rum if it's all the same to you.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Captain Anderson up there can do the sodomising and the lashing, please.

(Lashings of ginger beer would go great with rum, tho, mind you.)

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

this thread went from 0 to scary in like 5 posts.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

What do you expect? It's my thread.

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

strangely, it was ginger beer that broke the camel's back. ewww.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

?!?!?!?

So I can drunk and have kinky S&M bumlove with pirate captains, so long as we don't bring ginger beer into it?

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

C'ptn Anderson is teh HOTTness.

that's too on-topic. sodomy and ginger beer pwn this thread. keelhaul for you.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

haha i missed most of the last ep and only arrived when they were drinkin with the brandy glasses slidin up and down the table

the coralled keel emerging from the oceasn was AWESOME --- it looked for a moment like the KRAKEN'S CLAW!!

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Kate, are you asking me out?

― Jon, remind me again why you haven't drowned in your own vomit (ex machina), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

Oh Gordon Sumner, we would never have been happy together, would we?

― g e o f f (gcannon), Friday, 15 July 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

The special effects on it have been FANTASTIC. Even I felt seasick for bits of it. Especially as they were shooting the brandy back and forth to one another.

But the best bit was when Poshboy convinced Colley to have a service on Sunday even though Captain Anderson had BANNED it. So Captain Anderson made the ship LURCH ABOUT so all the good Christians were tossed upon a mighty storm.

Yarrr. (Sorry, I have nothing else to add to this other than a love of speaking like a pirate).

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

when is speak like a pirate day again?

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

However, the special effect of his manservant (Wheeler?) blowing his head off was a bit *too* convincing. That made me feel very vomity and not in a good, CSI way.

x-post, I want some YAARRRRRRRG cheese from Cornwall. Yum.

i don't know how to understand this question enough to answer it.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

You don't have to answer it. You just have to scowl, brood under your hair and talk like a salty old seadog.

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

well i do that normally anyway. tho i'm more of the longshoreman type than the pirate type.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

(Captain Anderson is not a pirate, either. He is a CAPTAIN!!! of the BRITISH NAVY!!!!! The very model thereof!)

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

i prefer Sailor Moon

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Great. Now I've got Gilbert & Sullivan (specifically "He Is An Englishman") stuck in my head.

― MIS Information (kate), Friday, 15 July 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Arr, International Pirates Day be the 19th SeptembARRR. (I know this off the top of my head mainly because it's my brother's birthday also, not just because I heart the nefarious seafaring chaps).

Yarr, mateys, I would consider going out with anyone at the moment, says I. A lonely life 'tis for this blackbeard. Yarr.
