[Behold, Samuel, in his video debut! If you manage to see through the unsteady shaking of the comm, you'll notice that Sam's hat (a flat straw number today) is menacingly low over his brow. This is serious. Samuel reports!]Greetings from Ten-and-Two-Sevens upon Four, the eye of the Elegante. As the keystone culture-man on board, it is my duty to ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, a party sounds pretty good. You should throw one.

And toss it I shall, but only with the aid and abet of a willing co-host!

Let's see... Wherever can I find a low-brow dancing hijinxster to play the foil to my high-collar singing and raconteurism?

I dunno, but you better make sure she's hot.

The overheated rarely make decent dancers. The nearly hypothermic are much more apt to move around, thus the classic dance of so many childhood dance halls, the "Don't Lose Your Toes To Frostbite Tango".

I was actually hoping for a male volunteer. Why prod a lady to perform when you can have a man to prod you back?

Do ya' mean that ya' want us ta' do somethin' like ya' just did?

I would generally find it the preferable thing that everyone followed my suit in most matters. Think of it, a world where all young men recognize the importance of keeping an additional tie to wear after the soup course! How stainless and pure a society we would be!

[audio] standardpackage July 23 2010, 01:05:59 UTC

Yah, if this place was like that I bet there would be a lot less people gettin' their asses killed 'round here 'cause we'd be eatin' soup an' adjustin' ties all day.

It would indeed be a bliss of fashion and food. Though, now that I think about it, I doubt the half-windsor people could live long with the four-in-handers.

The horror, the screams, the chowder streaking down the walls... our paradise, Gerald... it's become a madhouse!

Not exclusively, but that is close to the king's share of it!

Think of it as an exchange of cultures- a musical marketplace, where you barter for carols with your camel-pack of anthems.

Certainly the other niceties will be in full representation as well: food, drink, liveliness and crushing disillusionment. You should attend!

We need to sing songs?

[...Musashi likes singing. It usually doesn't have a chance, though...HEY WAIT A SECOND. WE'RE ON A BOAT.]

I don't know that one. Does it matter which song?

[ON A BOAT MOTHERFUCKER TAKE A LOOK AT ME]

There's a wide range of accepted yacht-tunes. Songs of lonesomeness, for example, are quite well received, as are their much more agreeable kissing cousin the drinking chant. Pastorals, classicals, romances... ahem.

The gamut, minus spirituals. Not to denounce the importance of the faith - There's simply no place for piety at a party!

tachikhromatic July 23 2010, 02:01:16 UTC

What about...oh! A happy song! I really love this song, you know. But I don't know...

Hey, Samuel, do you think you could judge whether or not it's appropriate? I could sing it for you!

shipshapeshipco July 23 2010, 02:10:05 UTC

If ever was born a more qualified judge then pluck my ears away and throw them to the gulls.

[That's a yes, Musashi.]
