Should be a holiday in Germany as well. But we would most likely make it a Drink Beer Day.

Florida restores it’s ownership to pirate Republic of the Floridas. Baton Rouge will return to Floridian rule.

Main points of difference are efficiency, poly-synergetic population control by means of eumemetics and ruthless maximalization of profits.

Aye, I’ll give ye the first two. Beyond that anything else we need can be taken by force, arrr! That and me thinks that the grog would imply for sort of distillery process.

I suspect that what you are distilling must come from somewhere, and I don’t see a farm on that ship

It's currently -18°C here with a wind chill of -25°C, but it's supposed to get up to +5°C on Monday before going back down to -4°C on Tuesday.

It’s expected to drop to a high of 13 on Saturday by jump back to the low to mid 20s after Monday. Weathers fucked.

I suggest a pleasure cruise to cheer them up. Plenty of grog, lots of sun, and a swinging cutlass for each one of us while we head down to a sandy beach to relax.

Because those ships don't build themselves. Because the crews don't spontaneously appear from thin air. Because communities are commonly not masochistic enough to enjoy being plundered by pirates and therefore are inclined to take countermeasures. And because of many other factors and variables, together forming the complex composition of complications we all know as reality.

Also because I kill the buzz. I kill the buzz HARD.

For some reason, I have some trouble to believe, that this was introduced right after the end of the Prohibition. I do like this nonetheless. ^^
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore.

I would have been an honorary American, but I can't drink at the moment.

If you want to be an honorary Brit (I know, but go with me, this one has perks), National Wine and Cheese Day is on July 25th. I hope to be back on form for that.

I did an all nighter last night to try to get back on a decent sleep schedule, but instead I got on a schedule of pulling all nighters every night.
