Title for Hilfskreuzer Möwe
I know it's a little early to be discussing this but with the work I have seen I think we should be thinking about a title for Hilfskreuzer Möwe. He has done an amazing job of bringing to light multiple new scams and very well written narratives explaining them. I actually cant think of too many people who have done as much reporting and explaining as he has. Along with Burnaby he has opened up our northern friends to us and even beyond the Great White North. Not only would I like to show much appreciation for what he has done but I think he has earned the right to a title.

The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

Re: Title
"Hilfskreuzer Möwe" is German for "Auxiliary Cruiser Seagull."
An auxiliary cruiser was a real ship in the Imperial German Navy. The SMS Möwe served with distinction, becoming the most successful German raider during WWI.
Wikipedia article: SMS Möwe
I like Höchste Großadmiral, but I'm not quite sure how we link a German warship to a Canadian sov'run hunter. Maybe we can tie in something about how the SMS Möwe was a mine-layer.

Re: Title
Well, since many sovruns like to inform us that admiralty law applies to them since they are "vessels", the mine-layer aspect works out perfectly. In this case, the "mines" consist of facts which blow holes in the sovruns' contentions when they come into contact with them.Kestrel wrote:"Hilfskreuzer Möwe" is German for "Auxiliary Cruiser Seagull."

Well, I used an Imperial title for my inspiration. We're talking Scheer, von Spee and Hipper, not Raeder and Doenitz.Lambkin wrote:We don't have a Commodore among the crew...

Re: Title
Kapitän von Trapper
Kommodore von Trapper
The tundra's alive with the sound of sov'runs
With songs they have sung for a dozen years
The north fills my ears with the sound of sov'runs
My heart wants to laugh at every song it hears
I go to the north when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My ears will be filled with the sound of sov'runs
And I'll laugh once more.
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the gaol
And the bells in the rathaus too
And in the pépinière an absurd little sov'run
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"
Regretfully they tell us... Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us... Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye ... Cuckoo! ... to you!
So long, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu!
I think I should quit now.

Re: Title
Good pun; but I'm not sure about this one. Being an old Boy Scout and knowing that "TP" is often one of the abbreviations for "toilet paper", the term TP Cruiser gives rise to some unpleasant mental imagery.wserra wrote:TP Cruiser.

Re: Title
I'd say it's no longer a little early. My countryman Hilfskreuzer Möwe may have, to date, provided only 137 posts but, from a Canadian standpoint (I was the solitary voice from the northern wilderness before he started posting), his contributions have been enormous. No blathering personal opinions or pointless rants, nothing but solid knowledgeable content and excellent analytical discussion presented in an entirely professional manner, all killer, no filler. No fault of his that the Chief Rock thread went sideways, you can't control crazy once it's unleashed! Time for a title.JamesVincent wrote:I know it's a little early to be discussing this but with the work I have seen I think we should be thinking about a title for Hilfskreuzer Möwe.

Re: Title
An additional comment. Please, nothing with Canuck in it. I know it's the name of my home-town hockey team and a general term for Canadians but I really don't like it. While it is not generally considered derogatory it's what you Yanks decided to call us a century or two ago. We have enough problems being a distinct nation without being branded with an American designation.

Re: Title for Hilfskreuzer Möwe
Möwe is unbelievable. Look at his/her contributions to just the "Chief Rock Sino General" thread. "The patience of Job" is an understatement - and considerable knowledge of Canadian law. I concur with James and Burnaby - in terms of number of posts, too early, but not in terms of contribution to the site.
Still, I'm not so good at ranks, and Pottapaug shot down my offering (with understandable reason). C'mon, guys, pitch in.
But not you, Möwe.

I stand corrected by wserra. Refering to Möwe as "he" in my prior post was just my sexist assumption.wserra wrote:Möwe is unbelievable.

Sorry. I thought "Great White North" might qualify. "Finder-of-lost-Canadian-court-cases" (and translate that into German, where it's probably one word)?wserra wrote:Gotta be a least a little snarky.
I don't want to try to translate "sovereign" into German.
