    Many of you know about this, I'm sure. However I'm starting this thread to decrease the chances that you will be the one who misses out on it!

    Here's my result:
    The Cap'n
    Profile: Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scallawag who stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You are Charlie's Angels without so much "Charlie" and decidedly light on the "Angel." Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone - Man, Woman or Individual of Transgender or indecipherable Sexual Identification - to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not

    YARR!
    we devised a plan that for roll call on Monday it's an enthusiastic YAAAAAARRRRRRR for 'present'!
    and a pityfully sad yarr (without the deep thraot gurgling) for 'absent'.
    I'm so excited!!
    YAAARRR!!

    Damn scurvy curs in school wouldn't listen to me "YAAAAAAAARRRR"in'. Me shipmates helped though.
    Yes, I'm aware the day has ended. But it was fun. So in my circle of friends, monday is now pirate day. Tuesday (today) is ninja day, on which we discuss stealthy and non-stealthy things. Wednesday is a half-day, so there's no time to implement anything. Thursday is Hitchhikers Guide day, on which I talk like Marvin, and make numerous references to "never getting the hang of Thursdays". I've been doing that for a while. Friday is... Ok, I haven't thought of anything for Friday yet. Any suggestions? It must be CTYI related. Bowler appreciation day came up, but was dismissed immediatly.
