Limpy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Swabbie's mate Limpy 'ere, at yer service, ready for action for the good ship and crew' Cap'n! Whatfore shall my first task be, Sir? Me 'ist'ry? Surely! 40 summers under me belt, an ex-wench and one replica. SeaTown Harbour's me port-o'-call. Mode of transport? Well, erm...you mean me Daihatsu Charade? Laugh if ye must, Cap'n, but she's The SS SeaMonkey, and she's all 'eart. "Why Limpy?" Fair 'nuff: A scalawag roll o' rug yard-armed me back while goin' up the stair an' that was the end of me career...and a fine one at that. So, here I be, humbly at thy mercy, to make the best of me middlin' years: Swabbin', carousin', breathin' in the salty air of the CyberSeas. Me exclamation? Simple: "ARRR!" No smooth attack; She comes from the chest and ends naturally. The real way, if I may say so meself! Glad to be aboard, Cap'n; I await further orders...

Mad Matt Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Welcome aboard, y' scurvy dog! I knew there had t' be a story behind that name o' yers... Put yer seabag o'er there in th' corner. Ray's little monkey'll be guardin' it fer ya. That little bit o' gold in yer pocket's what Ray has 'is eye on, mate. If'n ye throw a couple pieces in his direction, it'll keep 'im happy as well as th' rest o' th' group that'll be in shortly t' welcome ye. RAY! A rum for me and me new thirsty friend here. Put it on his tab, eh? When we're done wit' th' drinkin', methinks thar be a deck or two what needs swabbin' 'round here. If'n I can remember by th' time we're done, that is! You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limpy Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Good on ye! I shall indeed swab the decks...but among me meager possessions be a fine keg o' Jamaican rum for the 'earties. I was savin' er for such an auspicious occasion as this (Drat!). Best to get 'er down before she should perchance become flotsam, no judgement on yer fine seafarin' abilities. Yet fate can be a cruel mistress to the best of us, and one never knows...Drink up! For the poop deck duties, I have here with me a HAZMAT suit. She's a beaut, she is...OSHA insisted on me 'aving 'er with me for the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place needs a good dousin'. You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Sterling Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Welcome to the pub, Sir. Tis a grand place here with many a fine pirate....just don't trust em . I be thankin ye for a bit of that fine drink... most kind of ye indeed.

Limpy Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 By gum, what more be there to tell? SeaTown Harbour...perchance ye might equivalate that with the Space Needle, them Seahawks and this scurvy trio which monikered themselves "Nirvana"...'tis a fine port of call, but livin' 'ere depletes the booty in grand fashion. So I live meagerly, a reflection of me meagerly means. A swabbie's gotta do what a swabbie's gotta do! Now I beseech of ye all: Another round o' rum! On me!
