What can I say but “Arrr!”?!

Hmmmm something doesn’t seem quite right there....

My daughter went on a school excursion last term to the Australian National Maritime Museum, and came home proudly bearing an official
‘Certificate of Piracy’.
One can only wonder why five year old girls need to know how to conduct acts of
piracy. From what I gather, they concentrated on booty, language and diet(1)
rather than on rum drinking, rape, pillage and plunder but even so...

It’s amazing what great father-daughter bonding you can have when you have a new Black Seas Barracuda to play with together. If only Hazel’d let me be the captain for once - I’m getting tired of the rat diet (2).

My wife has expressly forbidden me to form meatloaf into rat-like shapes and bake them for dinner. :-(

Arrr! David Drew. (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au)
