Sorry about that whole Olympics hype thing. We'll try to see that it's
extracted without too much associated damage afterwards, but those McDonald's
people can be rather tenacious--we just weren't the same after 1984, and it was
on the other side of the country.
On the other hand, the Soviet Bloc backing out made sure that we preteens made a
fortune in free food (should I put that in scare quotes?) because of all the
medals 'Muricuns took home. Thanks, Premier Andropov!

No pirate ship is truly complete without death ray thingies. At least that's my
opinion. All of those poor pirates throughout history, they never knew they
were sailing incomplete ships. It's sort of like the poor australopithecine who
just never understood how squalid his (or her, if we call her Lucy) life was
without a turnip twaddler. I think I'm going to cry.

If this is an issue, perhaps you can lick the hull before taking photographs. I
for one have no objections, mostly because I violate another possible law of the
.pirate with Heretical Steel Ships and I'm not eager to start a spate of purism
here. Purism, well, it's for those law-obsessed folks, and As We All Know, it's
.town that's full of policemen, firefighters, and show-jumpers with briefcases.

Or in Ontario. (Beer Pirates...arrrr) You know, I need to see "Ice Pirates"
again. I'm not quite sure why, but I do.
