Knoxville Ticket - 7 Habits of Highly Effective Pirates
Everything can’t always be just about Knoxville or that would get boring. Occasionally we have to spice things up with some useful links or random funnies. Although this post will be slightly off topic it does come from a friend who lives in Knoxville. Nearly everyday he has some humorous quote on his wiki-blog and I felt the need to share a couple with you.
The first and funniest is related to the title of this post and is from the Schlock Mercenary Wikipedia Article. Well these are actually more like rules than habits and there are more than 7 but that is of no consequence as we are talking about pirates.
1. Pillage, then burn.
6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
8. Mockery and derision have their place. Usually, it’s on the far side of the airlock.
9. Never turn your back on an enemy.
12. A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.
13. Do unto others.
16. Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth.
27. Don’t be afraid to be the first to resort to violence.
29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.
30. A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you’ll go.
31. Only cheaters prosper.
34. If you’re leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun.
35. That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.
36. When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support.
37. There is no “overkill”. There is only “open fire” and “I need to reload.”
xx. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he’s lucky just to be alive, and he’ll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow.
xx. Just because it’s easy for you doesn’t mean it can’t be hard on your clients.
Speaking of pirates, isn’t POTC 3 going to be in theaters soon? Can’t wait.
The other is much shorter and probably more relevant to this blog. It is the following quote from Pat Paulsen:
All the problems we face in the United States today
can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy
on the part of the American Indian.
The “Bag Of Crap” category is a phrase borrowed from woot.com or if you prefer wine.woot.com. Posts that you find in this category will be random and could contain good, bad, or otherwise useless information.
