EXCELLENT job, Mission, as always!!
The rum: It was Kilo Kai, not Riki Tiki Tavi (But if Mickey and Kate decide to switch from wine and mead to rum, I think they should appropriate the name!)
The plant: The name Angel's Trumpet refers to the large, very dramatic, pendulous trumpet-shaped flowers that can be white, yellow, pink, orange or red, and have a delicate, attractive scent with light, lemony overtones, most noticeable in early evening. Flowers may be single or double. All parts of Brugmansia plants contain dangerous levels of poison and may be fatal if ingested by humans or animals, including livestock and pets. Contact with the eyes can cause pupil diliation or unequal pupil size. Some municipalities prohibit the purchase, sale, or cultivation of Brugmansia plants. (Thanks wiki!)
The auction: Mission, Mae, Brig and their friend missed the infamous kiss due to leaving to pick Jack up at the airport. A non-pub pyrate (friend of the Jack Sparrow that participated in PiP last year) decided at the last minute to add a kiss to the auction. Alas, the poor lad had not figured out that pyrates of our ilk have a rather twisted sense of humor (and after the auctioning of Israel Cross, he has only himself to blame for this lack of insight!). As such, much to his likely dismay, all the individuals bidding on said kiss were men. The prize ended up going to Cross for $12. Deciding to sweeten the pot I asked Mickey Souris to help me out: as I spent most of the weekend sans voice, I needed his vocal power to make a bid for me. Another $10 for a long kiss. Next thing we know, people are adding music and candlelight. Lots of candlelight, so people could get good, romantic pics! (expect to see them soon, I'm sure!)
