Cap'n Slappy

Recommended Posts

:huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh:

Just sos ye know! Yours Truly will be playing The Pirate King in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirate's of Penzance" at the Albany Civic Theater in the sprawling metropolis of Albany, Oregon. If ye happen to be heading up Interstate Five through Oregon in February, stop by and see the show!

(And if ye let the house staff know that Cap'n Slappy owes ye a beer, I'll buy ye a real one after the show!) B)B)

But if ye can't make it, feel free to wish me "break a peg!"

*Looks at the keg he's sitting on, looks at EP's giant fist, yelps and jumps off*

"The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning."

Tho' not in the play, I once performed the Major Gineral song at a public library.

Ah, now...didja have to go an' tell us that, Cap'n? I don't have no easy way of gettin' up north, but I'd give a goodly portion of my right kidney to see ye playin' the Pirate King. Or at least part o' my gall-bladder...the little droopy bit, over there on the side.

Damn, but I feel a great riptide of "sulk" comin' over me. That'd be all sorts o' fun.

:ph34r:

An' I was so happy to realize that a showing of "Pirates of Penzance" was goin' ter be performed by the "Lamplighters" down here on February 29th. (In honor of that boy's birthday, o' course. )

Ah well...

Break a peg!

Our people are contacting his people who will contact some other people who will try to lift the restraining order on the people who were assisting the original people who are now living in Paraguay under assumed names. ^_^
