Maeve: Byron! Darling! Who has lashed you to the mast?
Byron: Maeve! My heart! Who else, but the undisputably dastardly Captain Wisely.
Maeve: Be brave my love...now that I have found this shower curtain to wear, surely the two of us can sail this ship to Tortuga!
Byron: (laughs ruefully) No, my flower. His WhOA is insatiable. His scurvy first mate, Joe "Lock" Smith, blew six holes in our vessel as he sailed away shaking his lock at me.
Maeve: But the green-tipped Spillane! How did you...
Byron: Honey, did you catch the size of my boots?
Maeve: How clever you are! Please kiss me with all the force of a great typhoon! (yeah, I stole that from Mulan.)
Byron: The Chieftain is sinking dearest. Our love must wait, as we brave the cold sea with nothing but this uillleann pipe bladder to keep us afloat.

...to be continued...

I was thinking more of JT's

Out of the west of Lambert's Cove
There's a sail out in the sun
And I'm on board though very small
I've come home to stop yearning

Burn off the haze around the shore
Turn off the crazy way I feel
I'll stay away from you no more
I've come home to stop yearning

humph! It's not Fabio. It won't sell millions unless Fabio is on the cover. I mean, common - the guy you pictured can't dramatically shake his hair or anything!!!

Brits will no doubt notice an unfortunate resemblance of the chap to an early manifestation of David Beckham.

It won't last. If you look closely at the deck you will see the vessel is taking on water bigtime.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "bend it like Beckham".

snickered First Mate Joe "Lock" Smith.

"How can I look closely at the deck?" snapped Captain Wisely, snatching the spyglass from Joe's hand. "You turned me spyglass into a pipe chanter!" He tossed the spyglass disdainfully into the foaming main.

"Captain," said Joe. "Did ye find the green-tipped Spillane?"

"Arrgghh...," snarled Wisely. "I thinks he buried it in Talbot Cay."

"But where?" wondered Joe aloud.

"The girl has the map," answered Wisely with a undisputed nod, "in her shower curtain. I can feel it in me bones..."

"But sir! She's the daughter of Admiral Hardy!" protested the First Mate. "She won't give it up easy!"

The captain tapped his gold-capped tooth--the one he'd broken on his Overton Bb--and pondered. "Perhaps," he said, "if we offer her an internship..."
