I have this thing for ships and the sea. Wooden ships; ships with a fuck load of ropes all over the place: cutters, schooners, galleons, ships of the line...that kind of thing.

It's perfection when there's a British captain standing on the poop deck like a steak knife stabbed into a bread board. Preferably Anthony Hopkins.

Hornblower is alright, Lucky Jack is pretty good, but Lt.Bligh is the undisputed master of crowing out gems like "and I sir am Commaaaarrndaaarr!"

I'm going to spend the rest of the day barking out Hopkinglish orders...
