| My humble compy's abode...

The internals are ok, the case is due to the fact that my mom didn't want to spring for anything more expensive than the basic (that one, it was $30) as she didn't see any real advantages with a more expensive case... |

Country: | Yeah they take you onto the upper decks, strip you down to your shorts, make you eat some God awful concoction out of a big wash basin and then dunk you in it, make you "kiss the cod" (big smelly fish that's been rotting in the sun!), throw assorted crap all over you, and make you down some "pusser rum".
It all takes place in the presence of "King Neptune", who's usually the Cox'n (I think you guys call him the Master at Arms). Everyone is in goofy home-made costumes. It's a lot of fun!
At the end of it, you get your card. I'll try to get a pic of it up some time, if I ever get the camera out of the shop. It's not much to see. | |
