Welcome to The Thread of No Substance.

The only rule here is that nothing of substance can be posted, so with that in mind...

Have you ever noticed how Kit-Kats contain little to no cats?

"And the Lord said unto Jesus, "Yea, I am He who is called I Am. Jesus, my son, go forth and spread my name across the land." Thus Jesus did as the Father commanded, and spread the name Iams across the land, into the food bowls of household pets."

Can I just check something. If the captain has a rudder, that implies s/he has some form of propulsive system. But, if s/he is gold-plated, that implies inflexibility in his/her joints. So, my question is this: is s/he fitted with an motor (which would add a lot of weight), or a sail. If the latter, who's manipulating the sail?

And the lord sayeth to Abraham, "I shall grant you a wish of a vast family of twenty children!" And Abraham says "Nay, I only have a four seater"

The devil confronted Jesus and sayeth, "I offer you vast riches" and Jesus laughed (because he didn't know what to say). While time Jesus finally sayeth, "That's silly I don't have any pockets."

And Noah made a note to thy own self saying "Never put lions next to unicorns."

And Jesus wenteth to Chow Mein's for the last supper. The small man sayeth to Jesus, "We only have one table seated for 13 but you all have to faceth this way."

And Jesus sayeth unto all his disciples, "Before the night is over one of you will betray me."
And Paul sayeth, "Is it me Jesus?"
And Jesus sayeth, "No Paul, it is not you"
And Peter sayeth, "Is it me Jesus?"
And Jesus sayeth, "No Peter, it is not you"
And Judas sayeth, "Is it me Jesus"
And Jesus sayeth dripping with absolute sarcasm, "Is it me Jesus?" :rolleyes:

And Jesus said to Judas, "Yea, and have you got my stash from Ahmed the dealer?"
And Judas did reply, "Here it is my Lord, and verily it is good shit, for only 10 shekels an ounce"
Jesus did take the dope and upon inspecting it, did turn to Peter and say, "Yea, so it is mightly good shit, but does it look like a quality ounce to you? I think Judas has verily ripped me off. Besooth but I don't trust that one."
Peter did look upon the ounce and proclaim, "It is as you say my Lord! There's a good roll-up missing and I beseech you to check Judas' eyes. They are as red as the gates of Hades. Also methinks he has the munchies, for look yonder upon his robes! There are crumbs of many biscuits and bagels upon them!"
Jesus did look upon Judas' robes and verily did he see the crumbs. He did look into Judas' eyes and verily did he see the bloodshots. He scowled at Judas, "You have upset me, my disciple, in cheating me out of my ounce. I will think long and hard upon your punishment, but first I will have a quick toke to help clear my head."
And so did the disciples and Jesus did have a good roll-up. And after a third one being passed around, so Jesus did forget what he was going to do with Judas.

explosive flactulence, of course. hence the convenient placement of the rudder.

that depends if it's mad eof gold plated polystyrene or gold plated eggs. gold plated polystyrene often sinks but gold plated eggs generally make for seaworthy ships.

interesting fact:

3 out of 10 cats are unable to digest sheep's liver.

Nay, it be that the fat in the captains stomache reacts with old gold/depleted uranium combo to produce a steady propulsion of 20 niblets per minute. A niblet is a nautical term used to describe how fast cutlefish move in order to procure a disgarded chicken mcnugget, therefore 20 niblets refers to either a very hungry squid or the force of 20 cutlefish going after the same mcnugget.
Interesting side note, if the captain was to be placed in an olympic size swimming pool, the nibblet producing reaction will kill him before he reaches the other side of the pool.
