Forlorn goals for the next two or three weeks:

-World peace, transcendence, etc etc (secondary to the above)
-Change careers and become a toy speculator^H^H^H^H^H^Hwhoa, that was

Just a ramble in an effort to breathe further life into .pirates.  Or
maybe kill it.  I'm never quite sure what the net effect will be.
