Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh

[Jogeephus]

Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by pirate tales from Blackbeard to Barbarossa so I jumped at the chance when an elderly friend of mine who is getting frail asked me to do him a favor - to move his gold. I've known this man for years and he is far from what you would consider a wealthy man. His car is old and has seen its better days and he lives very modestly. Alone with no children. To my knowledge his only vice would be my wine. He loves it. I don't know if its because its that good or because its free but he does offer many compliments when he drinks it and he has even offered to buy it from me but I always decline.

Anyhow, I had just dropped off a gallon of muscadine wine when he asked if I would help him move and hide his gold since he is not in any condition for much physical labor. I was a bit taken back by the request for the aforementioned reasons but agreed to help him do it. He gave me instructions on what he wanted me to do with it then he led me to seven carry-on type travel bags that were in the trunk of his old beat up car and said there it is.

I'm not the strongest person in the world but I'm no weakling either but when I grabbed the first bag I was taken back by the shear dense weight of the bag and found I could only carry two or three of them at a time. One bag in particular actually had me straining just to get it from the trunk with both hands. I was amazed. Its hard to explain how something so small in size can have such dense weight.

When I was finished doing as I was told I was nearly worn out and we retreated to his home where he thanked me and we both poured ourselves a tall glass of wine and I chugged mine down and said aaarrrggghhh. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I explained to him how I felt like a pirate and how since my childhood I always wondered how a pirate felt when burying a treasure and now I knew. He laughed. I thanked him for that. One less thing on the bucket list.

I'm sure there is a grand story here somewhere but he didn't offer to share and I didn't ask. Probably better that way.

Send me the map. I'll cut it down the middle, keep 1/2 of it for safe keeping me hearty and send the other 1/2 back to ya.--just in case something happens (like The Black Spot--and you won't have both parts.
Aw crap--never mind--(they could have least spelled my name right)

A little pirate info: all pirates in the movies speak with a heavy dorset accent. :2cents:
The pirate alfabet has only ten letters, I, I, R, and the seven C:s... :banana:
Oh; and when you clone one, you will have pirate copies. :banana: :banana:

Did you use paraffin wax jo?

My grandaddy was squirrel hunting when he was a boy. Stepped in paraffin wax while he was looking up a tree. Went back there a few times and got wax. It just bubbled up out of the ground.

Years later came the Jean Lafitte story of running up Cow Bayou and burying treasure. Supposedly it is buried in paraffin wax. Grandaddy went back and tried to find the spot but the tree is gone and the bayou had changed. I can probably get to within a quarter mile of it based on his directions of land marks.

All my life I have wanted to go there with a metal detector and search. It is in CB's neck of the woods.

You are going to get yourself tortured and killed over it.

Too late - already stored in big data and has been perused by machines that pick out articles, letters and more - simply because one or more words they are programmed to look for happened to appear in the article.

From there it will go through a more stringent check by machines - still not seen by a human being and there will be several analysis done by comparing the latest threat assessments and the latest and most up to date set of words to check for.

Then all of it will be collated and given a score.

If the article gets a score greater than or equal to the number of the day - it will be taken out of sequence and out of the computer and all the information will actually be read by a human being.

If it is found to be of no interest the paper will be shredded but the digital information is kept in storage - for ever - for future use against you - yet more big data.

If it is found to be of interest - all available data will be pulled - SIN number - address - phone numbers and ALL calls - lists of creditors and debtors - lists of any known associates, family members and ALL of their data and the beat goes on.

All of that information will go through the same process only perhaps a bit more in-depth and if it is thought to be worthwhile, a case for investigation may be started.

And yes - that is what happens to you when you come on to the internet and talk to strangers and someone gets interested.

And no - that information is NEVER destroyed - it is kept for future use.

In fact, how does anyone here not know that I might be an agent in disguise - looking to cause a bit of grief? And perhaps trying to figure out who is and who is not a loyal citizen of the US of A? And remember - loyalty is NOT a two way street.

I blather - but trust me when I say - if it truly was gold or was not gold that Jo was talking about - it is well known all over the cyber world that Jo knows where it is.

Oh, and if anyone here is naive enough to think that simply because you have been doing nothing wrong that you have nothing to hide - you are well and truly and incredibly STUPID and you well and truly do deserve to have your azzz kicked.

Because I can build a case against Mother Theresa if I want to - it is not only easy, if necessary - and I really need a "patsy" - I can build a case against anyone - even by fabrication if necessary. And there is screw all you can do about it - because once it is on "Big Data" it is there forever.

Scary isn't it? If you are not - well, you should be.

Best to all

Did you use paraffin wax jo?

Backhoe, he only opened one satchel to show me and everything was tucked away in little boxes, containers and just any kind of container you could think of. I didn't think it my place to touch any of it. Did say a "holy shyt" I believe but that was about it. What I could see of it didn't look like it had anything on it. Just looked like gold in all forms and sizes.

Bez, I get what you are saying but I don't believe this guy has done anything wrong other than live frugally and horde gold and to the best of my knowledge there is no law against this. If it is, I'm guilty of it too but they can find mine in a few boxes at the bank and I'm sure they already have the key. Probably already have a tally of it. I only wish I'd been more diligent when I thought buying gold was a smart move. Unfortunately I listened to the experts and watched my stocks plunge when I could have nearly tripled my money had I done what my gut told me to do.

I don't know how many of ya'll have met Jo in person. I have a couple of times. Real nice feller.........until he is riled. Now there would be a couple of problems with the torture plan. One is catchin him. Aside from being as slippery as an eel he is never in one place very long. He moves all over the county with no discernible pattern. IF you were unfortunate enough to pin his location down you would have to get past Eli.....no easy task. IF you manage to get past Eli with all of your limbs attached you would have to escape a wall of lead coming at you measured in thousands of feet per second. IF some how you are bullet proof you would learn that Jo possesses ninja skills unparalleled by many Japanese warriors. IF you make the mistake of trying to stalking him on one of his farms he keeps a couple of constantly angry, old Brangus cows on his place just looking for a victim. They eat shards of broken glass instead of hay and floss with a piece of barbed wire. In addition, he has a pet alligator that patrols his swamps so crossing the river in the back way ain't smart either. Finally, he has lots of middle of nowhere swamp land in which a body will never be found nor ever surface from. I reckon the secret is safe :mrgreen:

Aayyy matey, and ye canst forget me new found pirating and buccaneering skills. Went through an intensive six hour pirating class in this vessel just this summer so me buccaneering skills are well honed like me saber. Cost me every bit of $80 but with all the rum I could drink I felt it was a good investment to hone me pirating skills. Ayyy, a bargain I thought especially after I won the limbo championship and got me my t-shirt but it was the plank walking technique which I was after. Aye, lot to having a proper plank walking I assure ye. Especially when ye are full of rum and the board is so narrow. :mrgreen:

Jo, I think you may be more concerned with this pic YOU posted rather than knowing where the gold is buried! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Alan, that's Bez's truck not mine. Just nicked it from his computer during one of my marauders in the north country. Whole crew posed as Vikings and no one was the wiser. If anyone is going to have their nose hairs plucked one by one with a pair of vice grips its going to be him and not me. I have a low threshold for pain.

A cubic foot of gold weighs 500 pounds more than a cubic foot of lead. Gold is heavy stuff.
