Simon, I hate to bust your bubble, but Farragut had big brass ones that clanked when he walked. He was tied to the top of his ship's mainmast when he yelled it down to the helmsman, heading straight up the channel in Mobile Bay, right towards a moored mine (in those days, those were called 'torpedoes' even though they weren't self powered or submarine launched). So it wasn't 'damn the torpedoes' it was 'damn the moored mines' for your post's subject.

Thanks for letting me pull your chain so you don't take yourself ultra-serious and all.

Thanks, Simon, but I politely decline except in the case of playa dust.

Last year the theme was Radical Self Reliance.
That’s probably gonna be it this year too.
Except now it’s real instead of bullshit.

Not a bad theme IMO.

Once you discard the whole introspection blather pushed out by the BORG, it got some Fury Road flair to it and a splash of piracy.

Maybe some raids and land grabs will be in order.

Simon, love the concept, "Terra Incognita" always on early maps held the most promise for explorers. Just don't call the event "into the Unknown", please. That's a tune that's used as episode theme music for Pacific Coast Wrestling
