Arrgh! these simulposts be damned! **Scuba-Ben!**'Tis me Lar’board eye wot’s missin! Says I if we can go starboard then starboard it’l be! Any you blaggards seen the rolly poly thing I calls me eye? I’ve grown a might bit fond of it be it wooden or not. This foul vessle the Poseidon ‘pears to be capsizin’, me only eye spies a heavy list to port it does. That’l make plunderin a wee bit tricky. Has ye rid us o’ oll them devil bunnies? A scourge to many a sailor on these seven seas they be. An’ also devious devil servants to the wickid and mutinous. Don’t let their furriness fool ye. Oh an what say ye we cuts a paw from each to wear on strings around our necks? It be a fearsome sight when our foes sees necklaces of furry feet 'round our necks, it be tellen em we fears no demons be they furry or not! ---

I leave for a few hours and we’re overrun with rabbits. ::sigh:: Shove 'em in the guns, boys. If they’re alive when they hit the _Posiedon_’s decks, they can unleash their terror. **Scuba\_ben** , get someone to hack off a paw for each man aboard before ye shoot 'em off. Whar’s the lookout? Are we close enough to begin boarding preparations? **Peg** , luv, how comes the feast? **LISER-GO-BLIND** , be sure the warsh is done. The men what come back might be needin’ clean britches. ---

Cap’n, I fears there be bananas aboard. That an’ the evil furries can only be explainin’ this here spot o’ rotton luck. Whot’s that I sees? A pinaple under the sea? Can mean only one thing!
