Charming companions.
Monologuing on
World domination again.
How long 'til dessert?

ReplyDeleteHere's a sea shanty I heard whilst travelling to Halifax with my regiment.
Cape Cod Girls
Cape Cod girls ain't got no combs
Haul away, haul away
They brush their hair with codfish bones
And we're bound away for Australia
So heave away, me bully, bully boys
Haul away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you make a noise
And we're bound away for Australia
Cape Cod kids ain't got no sleds
They slide down the hills on codfish heads
Cape Cod girls ain't got no frills
They tie their hair with codfish gills
Cape Cod cats ain't got no tails
They lost them all in the northeast gales

Ah, yes...I shall always remember that night in Algiers when W-S and I danced the night away to that very tune. Although we looked and looked, we never did find the missing toe.
ReplyDeleteLord Stuart Turnips and Lord Turnip Townshend had a lengthy storyboard session this aftereve.
ReplyDeleteQuick summary of major plot points for those of you who are looking to join the narrative (this is the 21st century Pennaverse concept known as "meta information":
1. Blue Side of American, Blue Murder, and Jolly Roger (all acting in league against bad guy pirates on behalf of President John Adams) encounter the Nautilus while departing Tripoli after sacking the saracen pirate base.
2. Nautilus torpedoes the Jolly Roger, which hits the powder room and blasts the ship to smithereens. Crew of Jolly Roger swim (en total) to the Blue Side of American and Blue Murder.
3. Captain Stuart and allies flee to the West coast of Michigan to seek refit and repair from the magic armorer who provides unique capabilities to Blue Side of American. (more frickin' magic...what do you expect?, it is a tale told by/with a 4-year old).
4. Captain Stuart Turnips and his allies plot their revenge against Nautilus which it turns out is carrying their T-ball team's uniforms. They must recover those uniforms before the big opener of the T-ball season at Lords Cricket Grounds on April 12 in the year of our Lord, 1806.
