Pirate Reflections

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

DisneyFreak's Story of the Fantastic Forum

My history here backdates to before when Art left. Some of my friends had
claimed that Post to Post was deleting their posts out...a common complaint
on most BBS but a real one that could be susbstaniated on P2P.

We soon joined the egroup...but for the crowd wasn't my type...soon a
Fantastic Forum member, EverAfterGirl/AmandaCat, invited me to this great
new site-a site to support Mike Siegal-but those of use who didn't like him
were welcome to!

I jumped on the bandwagon. I checked the board twice a week. I saw who
was there in April and I liked it...I subscribed and (somewhere I lost my
first password)resubed under DisneyFreak96 in May.

Then, as is now, I mainly lurk. But I really lurk. I spend over 12 hours a
week on the boards activally reading, and sharing, what I find. I was here
before Carl Green. I was shocked when he admitted on the Art Bell forum
what he had done! I didn't think that KR had the balls to admit to
something so childlike. Only later would I find out he is that dumb and a
lot like Sam Jain, another wonderful gent I'd have to deal with this year.

I have made many new friends and enjoy seeing the same names over and over.
More important, as I see the board go through stages of growth I notice most
of us have chosen to stay along for the ride and help lead the group instead
of leaving, which can be so much easier. I've seen radio hosts embrace our
group, and let go of us like used luggage. We have stood tall, and stood
together. Even after the brush off TAB received
from Art we have managed to survived.

Art may have been one pirate, but we have proven that it takes many to man a
ship.

Rapa's Words for Fantastic Forum

FF is the place to go when you feel low--
FF is the place to go to get in the flow---
FF is the place to go when you feel high--
FF is the place to go when you want to laugh or cry--
when you want to let off steam
or when you want to be part of a team---
It doesn't matter if you are thin or fat, you can come to FF for chit-chat---
Whether you want to learn or share, you can always come to FF & find someone who will care--
FF is a place we can groan & moan--
-And the best part is FF is the place we can call our own.

...well, here goes.

The past 9 months I've been surfing in and out of the Fantastic Forum on a more or less regular basis...and I will report this :
I never cease to have an intense experience when I'm with you all...!!!

We've Disagreed.
We've Argued.
We've laughed our (permanent vertical smiles) off.
We drew neat pictures and then learned how to post them.
We lost posts.
We found a few good friends.
We gather together like kids around a campfire at night.
We've groaned in horror at some wonderful puns and bad jokes.
We successfully maintained our course on some choppy seas.
We've developed our Alter-Ego's so each knows the other.
(and Thank You for not running away screaming)
We've found Enlightenment and Beautiful Souls.
We've found Bounders and Blathescytes.
We've Mind-Blasted.
We've found out where we stand in some circles...AND WE'RE ALL STILL HERE...TOGETHER !!!
We're UNCENSORED !!! (let THAT flag fly !!!)
We're The Fantastic Forum.
...and PROUD AS HELL TO BE HERE...TOGETHER.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Extra-Terrestrial Emissary.
