“Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.”

Hm...

The expression "Shiver me timbers!" comes from the society of pirates, who enjoy using interesting expressions almost as much as jumping aboard other people's ships and stealing their valuables.*

I have always said everything's better with rum and pirates. ;)

The Surgeon's Mate: In the course of his service in the Royal Navy Stephen Maturin had often reflected upon the diversity among sea-officers:

OK, it goes on for about half the page - you know POB, but I had to stop at 'diversity among sea-officers'

O.O

I hope not!

Maybe if I had stopped at 'Stephen Maturin'

Diversity is a good thing, yes? With rainbows?

Ummm, perhaps not in sex partners... at least not for me. I prefer just one. Preferably the one I'm married to. Who does like to sail; I'm sure he would have made an excellent sea-officer in another life :-)

I was just imagining my sex life for the next year consisting of each of these variety of officers that Stephen lists for half a page, and it was quite exhausting emotionally just to think about it ;D

I don't even want to know what the result of this would be. My closest book to me right now is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fly Fishing.

Holy crap. I looked anyway (my wife made me do it) "It's Knot a Four Letter Word" is the chapter title that starts on page 45. Hmmmm

Sorry to barge in here, but - You haven't heard of the omega 'verse, have you? *really hopes not*

Haha, shiver me timbers will never be the same again!

"They'e going to March to Hyde Park - and who do you think started it all - Alec!" "The dirty swine," she ejaculated, her eyes blazing.

Uhmmm.

It has a march, which is very appropriate for you, but of course my inner twelve-year-old fixated on the fact that your quote got the word 'ejaculated' in it! ;)

Pirates! Excellent.

I got this: "Employment in the silk industry doubled to 150,000 people between 1846 and 1857." (Mauve, Simon Garfield)

I'm... not sure how to interpret that one.

Just to make all the silk sheets YOU need. ;)

Hee :D That's probably it!

I trust you mean the first full sentence, and not a sentence continuing from a previous page...

In response to the danger, itinerant preachers suddenly began stalking the countryside, appearing in settlements waving their Bibles until they became as familiar as the smoke.**


Okay, we'll just have to see about that!

Itinerant preachers are attempting to save the countryside from the danger of your sex life? hehehehe. :)

(and I had to edit 'you' to 'your' - which is funny, considering you had to edit yours, too. Apparently neither of us can type. ;))
