Last entry read "rats in the hold.
My crew is dead - I fear the plague"

A deserted rat-infested derelict ship, bereft of engines and steering, is drifting slowly in the direction of the British Isles.
(h/t Boing Boing).

    "The correct procedure after finding a vessel or boat without an apparent owner is to notify the Receiver of Wreck." (From Flotsam, Jetsam & Lagan: stuff for the Receiver of Wreck. Please include appropriate animated engravings.

    No memory, tell me what's wrong with me
    Why am I alone here with no rest
    And now the name of the ship's not the same
    How long has it been "Marie Celeste?"
    Now there's nobody from the crew left
    Five hundred years supply of rats just for me

    Personally, If there was a news item illustrating a BOC song EVERY Day, I believe I could be happy.

    Sundays could be for 10cc songs.

    Canadian torpedoes are as slow as icebergs.

    I think you will find, sir, that all the Yankee imperialists are down in the Yucatan Peninsula, searching for obsidian mirrors in caves carved from solid jade within Mayan pyramids.

    I think Glenn Beck is already pretty full up on goose poop.

    I am trying to find ways to loudly exclaim "Fire up the bassoons!" today. It's not as easy as you would think.

    Are you kidding? When is it NOT applicable? And it's the ONLY way to announce you're going to the crapper.

    "That's not poop... it's colloidal gold!"

    Another useful all-purpose phrase:
    "Then they put the electrodes on me".

    Clearly tigris has never read the fable of the Goose who Crapped the Golden Poops.

    "That's not poop... it's colloidal gold!"

    Does this have an application in "alternative medicine"?

    Only when diluted in aquavit. Strangely, aquavit cannot retain any memory, nor can those who drink it.

    Maybe I should start taking pictures of goose poop.

    Or a video, even.

    I can't speak for Another Kiwi or tigris, but mazes and labyrinths are one of my many obsessions.

    Sex with icebergs is *not* one of my obsessions.
