miniman-please refer to the post by cmjeff
I agree with cmjeff. <br><br>Why is it so important to be called “Captain”? This is a military rank and only a courtesy form of addressing a shipmaster. I was in the uniformed military before leaving for greener pastures. When on board ship and in command, my family would address their mail to Captain " " (this was in the days before the eagerly awaited letter from home became derisively known as snail mail). The minute I signed off they reverted to addressing my mail to me by my former military rank. A colleague in my office (where everyone called me Captain though all I commanded was a desk) was amused when my wife called one day and asked to speak to Commander X and thereafter referred to me as Commander.
Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve always preferred “Queen of all I survey”… Hey, I’m not biased - you can change it to King if you like.<br>I have to say that I do tend to chuckle over the guy that gets his 6-pack and then changes his email address to captainsuchandsuch. Is it wrong for me to point out that women rarely do that? <br>On a slightly more serious note, I’m in complete agreement with Doug
(as usual). It ain’t the piece of paper that makes a Captain -
although clearly that is a good start.
I only expect to be called Captain when I’m wearing my skipper’s hat.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.smartmarine.co.nz/images/245/captains%20hat.JPG]
“Queen of all I survey”… Now that sounds like something Anchorman would have in his standing orders…Always address me as the “Queen of all I survey”… <br><br>Nice Unibrow Pacino…is that MiniMan?
Lee,<br> Geez - us. “Captain Gingivitis”!!! Is that your brother-n-law? 'Cause, If you take the hat off, shave the head and knock a tooth out, It sure looks a lot like Debbie.
There’s Debbie!!! Thanks Capt_A.<br><br>But, How did you get the pic with the wig?
Photoshop.
Administrative Note:<br><br>Below Albert’s post Captain_A posted a photo so hideous that I removed it… actually, the queesyness it caused might have been the inspiration for my post on seasickness this morning. Anyway, if you want to see the photo then you can click HERE (I advise against it).
John,<br> A few glasses of moonshine helps with the queesyness.
Yikes! John, I should have taken your warning to heart. For the love of all things holy, I have to strongly advise against looking at the removed photo. <br>Save yourself! It’s too late for me.
Moonshine for seasickness?? That’s about as effective as posting the photo of Capt_A’s pin-up to the front of your safety glasses. …at least it explains how you found out her name is Debbie!<br><br>Jill… I warned many cadets not to follow the AB’s instructions to find the “bosun’s punch” but they didn’t listen either. At least you don’t have to fill out an incident report with one eye taped shut! <br><br>(yes I’m joking… mostly)
I can’t believe you guys…That girl reminds me of my High School Sweet Heart. What a Lover!!<br><br> <A href="http://gcaptain.com/maritime/forum/extensions/YUIEditor/img/3821218784036.jpg]<font color=#3354aa>HERE</font></A>
Fernet Branca for seasickness.
The only cure for seasickness is the shade of an oak tree
Clawing my eyes out after opening Capt. Lee’s sweet heart pic. Also, I recall seeing a quote somewhere on here that they only call you Captain in court! Lol.<br>Doc
Being at the wheel doesn’t make you a Captain anymore than being at the zoo makes you a monkey.
