/me floats through the air down to the water, then flies through said water under the keel, into the air and lands on the deck on the other side. /me proceeds to flip out, wail on a guitar, fly through the air and cuts the head off **Malacandra** and all other on board. Not for throwing me overboard, but because **Malacandra** opened a window. Seriously, justask my friend Mark. ---

Hey, you don’t want to know what the room would’ve smelled like if I _hadn’t_ opened a window. 😉 :eek: 😃 /me tosses the stub of the fake neck to one side, pops his real head out of the top of his coat, and proceeds to cock the hammers on an _absurdly_ large blunderbuss. ---

/me turns invisible (which all Ninjas can do), slices the blunderbuss into pieces _a la_ Wolverine style. Keep in mind, we Ninjas cut off heads **ALL** the time and don’t even think twice about it. We are so crazy and awesome that we flip out \*\*ALL \*\*the time. Remember, just like other mammals, ninjas can be mean **OR** totally awesome. ---

/me sets the decks ablaze with burning rum and listens out for the sound of effete Japanese screaming, slaps a round of grape into a nearby carronade and looses off at the noise, then picks up a big black bomb (with “Bomb” written on it in white letters) and stands there, fuse fizzing. You swabs ain’t seen “crazy and awesome”, bucko. ---

How could you do that with perfectly good rum?? ☹ :eek: /me cries. ---

A-harr! Us pirates just doesn’t care, an’ ye may stick that in yer fancy pyjamas an’ ninje it! /me draws up a stool for the lachrymose one to sit on, slips the still-fizzing bomb under it, and retires to the other side of the mainmast. ---

Once agin’ I journeyed to Burbank California to set sail on [The Red Dragon’s Revenge](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dan_a_miller/slideshow_end?.dir=/a72a&.src=ph) . We re-fitted her since last year, lots of new rigging, gold trim, stained-glass window, expanded the dock, built a pub, a bridge and had a hell of a good time! You may now proceed to seethe with envy. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arrrrr-maties/322334.md?page=3)
