Smells quite fishy to me... I guess I plundered that pun didn't I?
Actually, I think it was the League of Whining Little Sisters
that made TLG remove the shooting cannons; they were tired of
getting shot at.

I've got me fall frock, me hat & heels on, I'll take you on
any time now young man. Just watch the hair, I had it permed
yesterday.
That's reminds me... I picked up Monty Python's Flying Circus
set 1 & 2 on DVD. There's a sketch about the re-enactment of
the Battle of Pearl Harbor by the Women of Batly Townswoman's
Guild. There's nothing funnier than watching men in drag, in
the middle of a pig field rubbing dirt in each other's noses; it
wouldn't be as funny with round 1x1's. :)

No, I think it was "The Pirate's Playground" (#6403-2) with
real torture devices. Or was it the "Seaside Holiday
Brothel" (#6489-2)... No, it was "Armada Island Arcade"
(#6409-2); a fun shooting game you can play at home with the
cat.
You know, my pirates like to suck on orange bricks & lime
baseplates to keep off the scurvy -- it seems to be working
quite well. Their teeth don't fall out like the Wild West
bandits' teeth do.
