Billy Bones Puns

I believe Billy Bones story in the show is a tragedy, more so than many characters.

When we start the story, we find billy as a Boatswain for Flints crew, well respected and capable though more kind hearted than your typical image of a pirate, and he cared deeply for his fellow crewmen, shown fairly clearly with his eventual comforting of dufresne. Billy is caught up in a power struggle between Flint and Singleton and through fear of Flint, and trust of Gates, lies to his brothers to help maintain Flints power leading into a spiral of mistrust and fear. Over the season Billy learns more of what kind of man Flint is and slowly comes to understand that the lives of him and the crew are at risk with him at the helm. Learning some dangerous truths leads Billy to be yet another 'casualty' of Flints grand plan.

Of course as we know, he lives. The expected result would be a story of revenge towards Flint for his betrayal and murder of Gates, a father figure to Billy. Something Im sure dufresne believed would be the case. However, this is where we see depth added to Billy as a character (and to the show in general) where the story turns from a simple revenge plot to Billy realizing the cruelty and power of the British Empire at Nassaus doorstep. This leads him to turn his back on several of his brothers. Billy becomes a hardened man, understanding the horrors of flints actions were necessary to create a Nassau that could survive the British.

"You hate flint. I hate flint, but right now hes talking about how we survive what comes next"

Billy realizes then necessary evil of Flint for survival, and ironically it was the British trying to defeat the pirates that lead to it. This was probably the biggest turning point for the character as he was finally putting a greater purpose over the priority of his mens lives.

As the show went on however, things started to change in Billys mind as Flints ideas became harder to realize and more importantly, he showed signs of weakness and a lack of control. Flints recklessness and rage at his loss at the end of season 2 changes his priorities and Billy seems to lose faith in the greater cause. specifically when the crew were captured, Billy begins to think perhaps Flint was no longer capable of leading Nassau into its freedom, and it was time Flints story to end, for him to pay for his sins. Even in escape, Billys resentment in Flint grows and his eyes turn then to John Silver, a man that can be made into a truer "pirate

I’m almost done getting all my dreamies, and i have a spot on my island if anyone can help fill it with one of the above!! Name your price :)

Got some records that aren’t getting a lot of love on my record player, wanted to see if I could get some good trades out of any of these.

Located in the US, primarily looking to keep trades in the US as well, but I’m down to look at any offer.

What I have:

De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising VMP (NM/VG) have spun the record only a couple times. Comes with OBI and Insert, does not have original resealable sleeve or hype sticker. VG rating on sleeve due to some wear.

Bone Thugs - Creepin On Ah Come Up RSD (NM+/NM+) played once.

Calvin Harris - Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (M/G+) still sealed, mainly got to listen to Slide but I ended up just getting the single. Arrived with some pretty noticeable ring wear. Can provide pictures. Sold

J Cole - KOD (alternate cover) (M/M) I was one of the lucky souls that waited almost 2 years without ever getting my signed record. By the time I got this, didn’t even care for the album that much anymore. Sold

Nicholas Craven - Conway Remixes 2 So I actually have two copies of this record. I have a sealed /100 Yellow copy, as well as a test pressing that I’ve played a few times. The test pressing has custom artwork and is signed by Craven, it’s fucking sick. I don’t really want to trade the test pressing, but with the right offer, I’d consider it.

Tyler the Creator - Cherry Bomb Instrumentals RSD (NM/NM) played through disk one once.

Billy Woods - Hiding Places (2LP Repress) (NM/NM) I honestly don’t really want to trade this, but I do have the original press as well so I figured again, for the right trade, I’d be willing to let it go so someone else can have a copy. Sold

What I’m looking for:

Pretty much what everyone is always looking for, but I’ll entertain any serious offer. Top of my list is:

Boldy James/Alchemist - The Price of Tea in China Ka - Honor Killed the Samurai Alchemist - Bread EP Freddie Gibbs - You Only Live 2wice Open Mike Eagle - Anime Trauma and Divorce (blood splatter) SiR - Chasing Summer Joey Bada$$ - 1999 JID - The Never Story

primarily just looking for trades at the moment. Thanks for looking. Be safe out there people.

Billy, which was my dog s name was actually hunting a skeleton, and after helping him out i decide to continue following him, suddently, he found a mineshaft, and then i decided where to go. Found a cave spider spawn and i wanted to break it, bad idea, BUT BILLY survived by an assault of 2 cave spiders (obiously because they attacked me), after that, i decided to follow billy again. I ran out of torches so i placed a crafting (dont ask me why) and billy, literally went in a pillar of lava, tryied to heal him, didnt work, so he died :c. I was super scared because theres way too mobs in caves than minecraft bedrock, and billy couldnt get hurt by them, but now i was literally scared, started running i found diamonds on that section of the mineshaft where its a dirt square and decided to make a base, wooden doors, crafting, furnace and made a iron pickaxe. It took like 10 minutes because: creepers coming from the left mineshaft (which i blocked first) then from an upper cave was raining creepers and skeletons, torched everything, then i get the diamonds very fast and left the cave at the speed of light. pick willy and getting home, the first thing i made was his tomb in my beetroot/watermelon farm. I Couldnt believe billy actually found a mineshaft, a minecart with a chest, a ravine in the cave (the mineshaft was in there) and my first diamonds on minecraft java. rest in peace, billy the dog

Plz help a girl out! Open to trading anything for one of these guys

While the title is a joke the first person arm models for the 3 above mentioned hunters are all bare armed and do not have the coats shown in their third person model. I understand if the model would need to be toned down a bit to prevent clipping but it just feels weird to know the first person model doesn't match the third person model at all. If the third person animations are okay it would seem like the first person ones wouldn't have too much clipping either. Anyways maybe it is not feasible but would be a cool update in 1.5

It was one thing to hit Nurse like this, since she was just absurd.

Billy wasn't Nurse.

Billy was balanced.

Billy didn't need this.

That said, you've already built this system, so the odds of you dropping it just because it feels terrible are basically zero, so any suggestions would be "building on" that system.

With that in mind, Something like Rumble's heat from League would at least be interesting.

• If your saw is cooled, it behaves as normal. 2.5 second charge.

• If your saw is over 50% heat, it becomes a bit stronger. 2.25 second charge.

• If your saw is over 75% heat, it becomes crazy good. 2 second charge.

• If your saw reaches 100% heat, it becomes unusable until it cools down.

As things stand, it's just "oh, you've used your saw twice? Fuck you wait 16 seconds".

No new tricks for a skilled billy to use, no "high risk high reward", just a massive "Fuck You" to everybody who played Billy.

I feel bad for anybody who spent time learning Billy now (if a bit Vindicated for leveling Bubba over Billy all these years), since his mobility, mindgames, and tempo potential are all gutted.

Some of the Billy Reid stuff is super cheap, the Barbour pea coat is super cheap, Rag and bone too!

I'm wondering if this is a common exercise. It was a great primer for eager history buffs. And it turns out Joel himself is an avid history nut, as described on the Wikipedia page for the song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Didn%27t_Start_the_Fire

Some of the topics I remember finding the most interesting were:

Bernie Goetz Belgians in the Congo Space Monkey Children of Thalidomide

Just wondering how many others on this board ever dove into that song, and the underlying stories, just for fun?

Karl Urban Battle Royale! Who wins in a fight when a bunch of Karl Urban characters fight it out?

• Round 1: As described above. Which Karl Urban wins out the day?

• Round 2: Every character Karl Urban has played teams up. What's the most powerful movie character they could beat?
