Me thinks she be a fine addition to our fine crew....tho she not be a wench. Mistress Jennifer be an valued officer of the 'ighest calibre

Arrg! I see, must not insult the crew. But me thinks you need to visit the other ship we have comandeered! Now we have a fleet! And the crew is growing!

Link

Stardock cannot stand to a fleet! We will have Brad's hide fore long! And make him reveal the technology!

I will Capt'n the fleet until your return! But first a stop off for more RUM! Txixt me and Mate Gid, we are getting low! But lil'Whip and the master of the Whip have kept the men sated so far!

They be great additions as Gid and I get more Grog!

Since me missus 'as bin aboard I've not got out me cabin much.....at her beckon call makin' cups o' tea and the like. Her wish is my command, tho I'd much rather be out rapin' 'n pillagin'....well maybe not rapin' but there be much booty ta be pillaged and I'm missin' out while tendin' to me good lady wife.


I sees ye 'ave all bin over to that other vessel misbehavin', but I'll have ye swabs know this 'ere Twisted Sister be the original....and she still be the Flag Ship so I don't advise ye ta be abandonin' her just yet. We still 'ave a few naughtycal miles left in us yet.

Stardock cannot stand to a fleet! We will have Brad's hide fore long! And make him reveal the technology!

Arrrghh, they might 'ave some marvels over there at Stardock, but this 'ere green feller's bin showing me a thing or two....like death rays fer when we broadside 'n takes over booty laden vessels. Now us'll have no fears if them navy feller sends a frigit or two...they'd just be more strange disappearances in this 'ere Bermuder Triangle, aye me buckos.

Oh, and if ye sees the lil green feller glowin' some, don't be alarmed...he be quite partial to them electric eels, it seems.

Since me missus 'as bin aboard I've not got out me cabin much.....

Ye be hiding a lady? mayhaps we have a mutiny on our hands! The crew be very rowdy, and wants to escape Ernesto fore it takes the ship down!

{Slaps Starkers}

hand off her to another, and get this ship underway! We be needing to miss them storms this year, as we do not want to be like A ray Nagin!

But I am appy to repoort that our latest member, Mistress Jennifer, has made sure that we be well stocked in Grog! Ye pick your crew well Capt'n!

We got no trees aboard this 'ere vessel....

Not even a palm tree?

Not even a palm tree?

They survive not well in the salty air! Are ye coming aboard? As we have a fleet, we need more hands!

Are ye coming aboard? As we have a fleet, we need more hands!

I don't know. I'm reminded of an old Saturday Night Live skit with Michael Palin.

Mistress Jennifer be an valued officer of the 'ighest calibre.

I think she's a mermaid.

I don't know. I'm reminded of an old Saturday Night Live skit with Michael Palin.

Then ye be knowing well! Be fun and rum on this trip! Not for the weak of heart! But for all else, it be a voyage to remember!

I think she's a mermaid.

I'll not be takin that icono, tis me whip ye'll taste! Fer a few days now me cat o 9 tails been starvin, she be needing some new flesh and ye will do ye cheeky scoundrel. Tis fer the fish to be in the water not I!

There be plenty fun to be ad aboard this ere bucket, a good hand be always welcome! Be mindin what the captn says an ye'll not be gettin the cat. aaaaaaaaaargh lotsa loot to be ad at Stardock! join us now!

Aye Capt'n Starkers - welcome back! We be thinkin ye will never be back! Ye sees the fleet be growing then? First Mate Guy be doin some recruitin, while ye be doin yer things wid yer womin. Be yer womin well then capt'n?

These ere drunken scoundrels are supping on rum, the food that be comin from the galley be grilled cheese every day! This scurvey lot be gettin angry! Ye needs be seein to him thats in the galley, give im to me fer the fishes!

First mate Guy be ye makin capt'n now and be takin a ship on under yer control? Tis time for a celebration then?

Ye be hiding a lady? mayhaps we have a mutiny on our hands! The crew be very rowdy, and wants to escape Ernesto fore it takes the ship down!

I not be hidin' a lady in me cabin....more like she be hidin' me! I'd luv ter get on deck more and I told 'er I'd send a cabin boy tend to 'er needs while I be tendin' ta ship business. She said that be alright.....so long as he not be that randy one us keel'auled. And 'er also said if he come in 'n tries anyfing, she'll give 'im a right 'ook and 'ave the parrot peck away at 'is particulars.

hand off her to another,

I don't be thinkin' so! She be too good a mate fer that....and her'll be a great companion fer Mistress Jennifer as she can wield a cat o' nine wiv the best of 'em and she'll take no nonsense from an unruly crew or cabin boys.

Owever, let's get this 'ere bucket under way, so man yer stations me buckos...that Startdock destination still be some way orf and we wants ta git there fer the party.

We got no trees aboard this 'ere vessel.... Not even a palm tree?

Nope, not even one 'o those....that there Jack Lemmon feller (Caine Mutiny) throwed it overboard, but Bosun Gid 'as some bushes down in the 'old I hears, if ye wants ta get back ter nature 'n relax.

I think she's a mermaid.

'Ere, I 'opes you not be suggestin' she smells a bit fishy! If she do, 'owever, that'll be her efforts ta catch somethin' ta git the cook ta do more than grilled cheese on toast. The crew be needin' better sustenance than that if we be ransackin' cruise ships fer booty. She be a good woman that Mistress Jennifer...and if I 'ears a bad word about 'er from any of 'e, I'll get me good lady wife ta sic our ferocious parrot onto yer particulars.

Aye Capt'n Starkers - welcome back!

Oh aaaarrrrghh! I thanks ye frum the bottom of me scoundrel 'eart. I 'ave missed ye all and it be good to be back among ye wonderful people. As fer that cook only servin' up grilled cheese, if he do that again I wants ye ta lash 'im wiv nine o' the best and point me cutlass at 'is scurvy 'eart 'til he walks orf the plank.

First mate Guy be ye makin capt'n now and be takin a ship on under yer control?

First Mate Guy weren't born in pirate country and don't 'ave the pirate blood in 'im like yer good 'ol cap'n....but he be learnin' some good pirate qualities and be an excellent stand in fer when I be indisposed. And if 'n when I'm not on deck, First Mate Guy 'aves me full permission to order 'angings from the yardarm. keel'aulins and lashin's wiv the cat o' nine fer mutineers 'n unruly swabs.

On a more serious note, my good lady wife has been rather unwell and is in need of as much of my TLC as I can give her. To make matters worse, she also has a broken hand and thus requires me to attend to matters she is currently unable to manage.

Obviously Mrs starkers has become my priority for the time being, but things are constantly on the improve and we'll inevitably rise above it all to progress beyond our recent woes.....

We have a 16 yo girl who still thinks she's an adult and engaging in adult behaviour she's not supposed to - a Dep't of Families condoning it all and disallowing our support, guidance and intervention. However, despite the incredible duress this has caused us, particularly for my wife, we have adopted the premise of a very wise old prayer: "God grant me the wisdom to accept those things I cannot change, but give me the strength to change those I can." In that way we're not stagnating but moving forward so we have the strength and ability to assist when she eventually realises the error of her ways and seeks our support.

The door is always open, and the welcome mat is still there.....knowing she has the propensity to step in things for not looking where she's going, she just had better wipe her feet first.

Obviously Mrs starkers has become my priority for the time being, but things are constantly on the improve and we'll inevitably rise above it all to progress beyond our recent woes.....

So she should be and so you will progress beyond the woes. *holds the light up high at the end of the tunnel for you to see!* Seriously though, things will come right again, they always do.

I am sorry to hear about the ill helath of the missus, I hope she gets well soon. Tell her not to try to do too much too soon! *sending her healing*

As for your daughter - God Bless her. I will include her in my prayers, that she receive guidance and light. Children can be such big cause of heartache, all we can do is love them and hope.

The door is always open, and the welcome mat is still there.....knowing she has the propensity to step in things for not looking where she's going, she just had better wipe her feet first.

glad to see you still keep good humor despite your current problems.

First Mate Guy weren't born in pirate country and don't 'ave the pirate blood in 'im like yer good 'ol cap'n....but

Aye, but I do. I have the blood of Jean la Fitte coursing through my veins!
