The Crew is ashore, and I grow apprehensive - no calls for bail money yet, though!
How's the phishing? What is the name of the new pheline??
The ship's new mascot is Thud, a cat even uglier than his predecessor PhishBait (but Thud does have both ears), is badly addicted to beer, does not comprehend the purpose of a litter box, and is not otherwise confused by the facts. He naturally thus fits right in with our crew, some of whom are much less trained and smell worse. Like fellow FReepers, Thud wandered aboard and immediately made himself at home, demanding immediate service and refusing to get out of the way of loading and other chores.
