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.

Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

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.

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.

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!

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
