| Hi!
I've xposted this to .pirates because, well, we in .pirates
love pirates and we love you (awwww) but a few of the .pirates
folks don't (gasp) check .loc.au...

I'm looking forward to it! It's definitely and indubitably
true that a decent Pirate ship can be made without Piratey
bits.

I'll see if I can find any zappy things when I get home.

Yes, but monkeys don't smell like Wookiee. Perhaps a bit of
seafood (genus Jarjar, species Binkus) would be better...after
all, you've got the designer of the Patented Magnificent Jar
Jar Spit [tm] right there in your own backyard. Well, not
literally, unless Peter's had a bit of trouble with the rent.

Well, I did have some piratey bits, but I generally agree with you that it
should be possible. However, what about the ratlines? I ended up with a
non-Lego solution there. Do you have a better Lego-based solution?
