Has any one explained the bilge-can duty of the newest recruit? No spills allowed!

Well, not intentionally anyway.
Insult can't be given, unless taken. So, if a moderator takes your insult, well, we won't be responsible and will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Don't forget, an extra special circumcision will be the consequences of getting caught and tossed in the brig.

We'll just add Nub to our growing list of nicknames.
Seems we just let anyone in these days. Our once tight group of Ubirats now has become Club Bilge. IDC, let in anyone, but one day all will be revealed.

And Armistead, Tango's right. Your priest is quite a fellow.

OK, you have my vote. Fair warning, when you give the secret handshake, wash your hands afterwards with Kerosene. See post 233

No worries. I knew they were screwin' 'round. I've gotten hazed plenty. Just play along and you'll be fine. And I ain't getting no more circumcision. Once was once too many, and I ain't even Jewish. (Imagine my surprise when my parents told me every lad has to get snipped. Better than the alternative.)

Everything is still in fine working order under my kilt. The (insert 8 lettered curse) aren't taking my Scottish pride.

Or German. Or Irish, English. This ancestry thing's givin' me a headache. Another round on me!

If I'm the boats priest then it's a poor lookout for religion round here, what with me being an atheist. Worship what or who you like, but don't expect me to get involved. Also, I do not look good in a frock. I suggest we nominate someone of a more pious nature for the position. Any suggestions?

OH NO! you're the ship's PADRE! The LORD works in mysterious ways-remember my vino problem on my wedding day? And besides you're a grape kinda' guy! Don't worry about the frock-it's a hair-shirt for U BBY (cilice) just for penance and contrition detail of celice close up worn as a jock strap??? no wonder they call it "chain male"

This is the bilge, we made you the priest because you are an atheist...and you know you enjoy all the confessions made in the head/confession booth.

How the hell does your brain come up with all this stuff? Are you a history professor that gave a cute female student an A, got caught, fired, and became a drunk? Is this where the smart nonsensical ramblings come from?

Ok, I don't mind wearing the Lady Sailor outfit, although I might need some help filling the frontage. As for the hair shirt, as long as I avoid the spiky steel jock-strap a steady supply of sacramental wine or bilge brew will definitely make things more comfortable. I really need to get an air freshener for the 'confession booth' after Kaptlt.Endrass blew back the poop tank discharge system by mistake on his 1st day...

The term is Anchors a-weigh. The point at which the anchor first has weight applied to the haul rope or chain. Olden seadogs loved to add 'a' to words and created most nautical terms in the process.
IE: A-stern, A-shore, a-sea, a-wash, aboard, a-shole, a-ground. etc, etc
ad nauseum.
