Thankful we be for the addition of the all-important chaplain-physician with the necessary skills to deal with 'em. Nan can do it all, I assure you. Even Thud avoids is awed by her.
Billie and I appreciate the opportunity to employ our dancing skills ashore.
Fond were those days in 1999-2000 when we held sway on the original Freeper Island Escapes, conducting hula lessons at the Friday luaus on Invictus's Paradise, that knew no war, back in the trying Whitewater Days.
Old-timers (Scuttlebutt, beowolf) will remember the day CHIEFnegotiator had mowed our grass skirts down to 4" lengths! LOL
Thank heaven we had time to cut more grass.
The fans are a bit more graceful and ladylike - well - kinda.
Humblegunner and Eaker will supplement the Shore Patrol, in view of some of the newer rowdy ones and the unknowns.
(Guys - watch the dutchess - never know if she has that old penchant to pick pockets these days, using the Gizzmutt to distract the crowds.)
Takin' yer leave, Cap'n, going ashore today, to consult the local witch doctor, returning to the Mobius Triangle in late afternoon.
Top o' the day to you.
Far be it from me to question orders, 'cause orders is orders.
