Arrrr, Me Maties!!!

If ya be lookin fer me treasure, then ya be coming to the wrong place, Sailor.I’ve always (for the past few years) had the dream of getting an old Soviet attack submarine and becoming a pirate. Maybe a WWII German U-boat would be better...Yeah, Something with a deck gun!

There’s only one problem that I can think of. Where would we put the hostages?? Since we don’t have a mast, I suppose we could tie them to the conning tower, but they would tend to get kinda soggy if we went under. Oh well...

Chris suggested that I put them in the torpedo tubes. I think that's a great idea. After all, I could just flood the tubes if the hostages start acting up. Anyone else have any ideas?

If you have any suggestions, or happen to have an old sub lying around, drop me a note at despotic@cyberdespot.com

Sea Shanty - copyright 1984 Shane MacGowan

Dear dirty London in the pouring rain; I wish to God I was back on the sea again; Though that belongs to the world of never will be; There was never a wilder bastard than me on the sea; I could fuck all the whores in damnation me boys; Though they wriggled and hollered and made a great noise; Then I'd drink till I stank and then drink plenty more; And I won't go down to the sea any more; But if I had ten pounds then I'd raise a loud cheer; And I'd toast all me neighbours both distant and dear; And I'd shoot back great belly-crippling buckets of beer; And a pox and a curse on the people round here; Wouldn't give you me the price of a half pint of beer; Wouldn't give you me the price of a cup of good cheer; A pox and a curse on the people round here; ----A man's ambition must indeed be small; To write his name upon a shithouse wall; But before I die I'll add my regal scrawl; To show the world I'm left with sweet fuck all; And when all of us bold shithouse poets do die ;A monument grand they will raise to the sky; A monument made just to mark our great wit; A monument of solid shit now me boys; I met with Bill James we fought over crusts; I called him a whore and he booted me crotch; Then we shared out the jack and we thought it a treat; The compliments pass when the quality meet; The compliments pass when the quality meet; The compliments pass when the quality meet; The compliments pass when the quality meet;

And Another!
