stupid asshole head engineer
I'm pretty sure I don't remember this one from any nostalgic seafaring yarns I've read. Are you sure he's really in the Navy?
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

May I still join the We Hate Pizzicato! club?
But yes. You may, so long as you have been a second violin.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In England, yes. The Tems. In CT? Thhhhhhhhames.
The main drag in Newport is pronounced Thhhhhhhhames Street, too, so not just a Connecticut thing.
Fritters are nasty and who thought it would be a good idea to put cooked corn into a doughnut in the first place?
I stand in kernel-free (as opposed to colonel-free) solidarity with Nutty on this.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
and a Buena Vista ("BYOO-na". I shit you not)
There's a Buena-pronounced-BYOO-en-uh right down the road from me too. (Also back in NY a Berlin pronounced BER-lin, just to be difficult.)
Alibelle, you can totally join the We Hate Pizzicato Club. I bitched about boring parts, but honestly I didn't envy the melody people most of the time. That stuff looked hard.
And my irritating song is Canon in D
Oh, I liked Canon in D--yeah, yeah, I'm a plebeian--but the cellists all hated practicing it. Poor cellists. It was like they wanted to change notes every now and then or something.

I have to agree.

I would never put corn into a doughnut. Apple fritters, however, are nummy goodness.

God, but what a gorgeous piece. Particularly the finale.

Isn't it amazing? Playing it was such an incredible rush. I absolutely adored performing it.

I can believe that, considering that just *listening* to it makes me feel like I'm soaring.

I'm pretty sure I don't remember this one from any nostalgic seafaring yarns I've read. Are you sure he's really in the Navy?
I'm certain he's not, actually. He's a marine diesel engineer in the private sector, working in the guts of cargo ships, which keeps him gone for most of the year.
I think, though my sample size of guys on large boats is two (brother and FiL), that "stupid asshole head engineer" is actually the technically term for that position.
