O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. ---

Ummm, T. Slothrop, I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Unless you _are_ marinara sauce and I’ve just been whooshed most excellently. My boat would be the S.S. Beetlebum. ---

I guess I could call mine “The Flying Dutchman” as well. Cliche, yes, but cliches exist for a reason. Now, I only need a few decent ghosts to haunt it. ---
