First the d-mned French restore a tallship; next they will restore the Emperor. I suggest that we send a fireship into Rochefort and destroy it before it renders aid to the rebels in the colonies.

Careful.
The Constitution still sails as a US Navy flagship. Remember the derriere Guerriere?
.
That sucks, I really enjoyed visiting the Constitution. A fine ship.
She's a beaut :)
Are they selling this one to Putin?
they're just refurbishing to put her back to sea.
I thought the French flag was supposed to be all white?
In all honesty she is a good looking ship. I've always liked old fashioned sailing ships.
They might also be giving her to the scots, that Auld Alliance and all :P

It was simpler to designate the Tricolor as the internationally recognized flag of surrender.
I wonder how much $32 million equates to in 1778 francs?? I suspect Louis XVI could not have afforded to build very many ships...
Looks like the Brits may need to refloat HMS Victory. There's a tall ship gap!

Not to mention the BASSELOPE GAP also!!

I'm insulted!
...I'm *always* an idiot. :P
I do vaguely recall that strip, now that you've posted it. One must bear in mind, however, that I was not an avid reader of Bloom County/Outland as some of you guys. I was a little young to fully appreciate it at the time. :D
The ship has sailed on this thread
Don't go down with the boat, then.
We need to chart a new course.
I gotta wake up first.
I sea.
Batten the hatches - a punderstorm is brewing.
We went far punder the sea with these fish tales.

Seems pretty fishy to me. Stealing someone else's puns is punpatriotic.
We've sunk to new depths.
Are you feeling the pressure?
Nay, LB. "Punderstorm" and "Punder" are two different words with entirely different meanings.
This argument holds no saltwater.
I'm good. Drinking some grog.
Quit seahorsin' around.
Damn the torpedoes and full beer ahead!
It's all kinda tacky if you ask me.
I'm going to beat you all with a shrubbery.
Enjoy these fleeting moments
Yeah, I ketch yer drift.
Has the tide turned in this argument?
It does seem to be ebbing.
Stagger needs to anchor himself against the tide.
Knot if I can help it.
Whale, you just won the Internet with that pun.

Nope. Going down with the ship.
Aww, trough luck, LB.
Aft gang agley and all...
We should dolphinitely scale back on the puns, all I sea are bass-ically bad puns :)
Would you rudder we just play it straight?
Nothing a stern rebuke won't fix
you should take a bow.
I think this thread has officially...
All in all, not a ferry big deal though.
Why y'all stanchion around? Get back to work!
are we going to get keel hauled if we dont?
That was a rather stern rebuke.
D'oh! Thought that would tide me over until I could beach'ya to the next pun.
you say the dardanellest things.
I'll strait-en out eventually.
then I shall dreadnought for your future.
I'll channel as many puns as I can, though.
that sounds just beachy!
You guys shore are funny.
MD would say "shell no, they're not!"
he should be tide up.

He's just got some sand stuck in his craw.
I thought he was just crabby.
He'll want to coral us punners into a pen somewhere.
he'd have a better chance of sub-tendering his resignation as a mod.
I'm getting a sinking feeling now...
you just need to blow your tanks.
Maybe after a bit of reefer.
Oar you ready for more puns?
Doesn't matter, it's all water under the bridge.
Still, it does tug at you, no?
Yes, it does. Makes me want to ship my pants.
Just for a fleeting moment, I thought I'd trawl through unread threads. You're obviously all having a whale of a time.

EHHNNT! Whale's been used. But that's okay with me as you had a couple of others in there. I fin you need to scale it back a bit, though.
...no good blubbering about it I guess. I didn't do it on porpoise.
Just a fluke, I suppose?
I suppose I'll just drop a random pun for the halibut.

You guys would prawn your grandmothers to get in a good pun.

Her name was Gale Beaufort. She wasn't a force 10, she blew hard, she did.

Ashamed of what? Are you trying to mussel into this conversation?
He wants us all to clam up.
How very shellfish of him.
Screw him
I'm turning into a nervous wreck.
That's hitting below the waterline.
Soon we'll all have to sing for our scuppers
At least we won't have broadsides, eating like that.
You guys better tow the line or you'll be in trouble.
Silence! I keel you.
^It was just a maritime before that showed up.
I spoke too soon, that's the hub of it. I need to tread carefully.

And do it schooner rather than later.
