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.

Yes, but monkeys don't smell like Wookiee. Perhaps a bit of
