First off…lessee here. I got some Jose Cuervo and some Bacardi Limon. That good, Swiddles?

And Soul…are you trying to drug Swiddles and I so you can have your wicked way with us? Silly…you don’t NEED to drug us for that! 😉

Just vodka and Czech beers, Swiddles, alas.

Anyone else notice that the second Falcon appeared, the clothes began to disappear? ::ducks flying coconut:: WHAT?

Ah, hell. I’ve been far too good on this island. Give me some of the trippy stuff, soul.

Soul, you never had an Indian Drum. You were just slapping your stomach and screaming “Hey, this is a great Indian Drum!”

Falc, you didn’t happen to bring a nail file with you, did ya? My nails are hella mishapen.

That’s not the blue crab, nor is it the rock lobster. It’s just Mully. He’s been out in the sun for a while. ::throws Mully some sunscreen:: You’re both gonna be hurting tomorrow…

_hunting through backpack_

Lemme see, Swiddles…water, chocolate, CD player, notebook, sunscreen…here you go.

And whoa…Mully’s so burned he turned BLUE? Damn, I thought that was…I dunno what I thought. Just another hallucination. Now those purple monkeys over there…THOSE are real.

And soul? I’m up for limbo! (Or is it down for limbo? I dunno.)

Yeah, my skin has some weird condition, probably from my Kentucky relatives.

On the positive side, I will emit a faint glow at night, so if the fire goes out we can continue to play cards by Mullylight.

Then you’d better start losing, Mully. For the most light, you’s gotta be nekkid. 🙂

I think our island should have some laws. Not rules, per se, but more along the laws of physics.

Swiddle’s Law of Nekkidity:

No matter what happens, everyone will be nekkid at the end of the thread.  
Next!
