Dakini ACTION Late Shift

best AAHHH WHOSE BED IS THIS ever.

04:46 / 24.07.07

Well, now, that's an entirely different kettle of fish. Can't say I have any opposition to that. Aside from putting our chain monkey out of work. Can a chain monkey be ship's surgeon? I mean, Dr. Benway's baboon could do it, so...

04:49 / 24.07.07

We can't get them all that wayk, is all I'm saying. Some or most? Sure. But if you get all the crew like that... it's not like I know how to expain their new jobs to them. And you can't always luck out, sometimes people get totally smashed and don't know a thing about ships at all! It's true, I've seen it happen. Lousy non-nautical drunkards stone skunked and unable to deck a swab. Even a very small one, similarly inebriated.

04:49 / 24.07.07

You can be surgeon AND chain monkey, I get to be helmsman AND cook. Venger's Hat, as Captain, is in charge of the wine cellars.

Now eat your fucking nectarines, chums. No man dies of scurvy on my watch.

04:50 / 24.07.07

Infact, Get Off the watch, I cant see the time!

04:52 / 24.07.07

But, sir, that's what we have the sun dial for.

(what do you mean, it's dark out? Shit, have I got my film negative vision goggles on again? Which one's Polaris, again?)

04:53 / 24.07.07

Polaris? the movie about dead people coming back to life in space?

04:54 / 24.07.07

thats sounds like a great movie

04:56 / 24.07.07

Nobody's getting off the watch, not all of them, anyway. Each of us has to do a turn in the crows' nest, just 'cause there ain't enough to not.

Nobody gets off all the watches unless we can all get off all the time. 'S'not the Good Ship Venus, y'know.

04:57 / 24.07.07

In space, nobody can hear you briefly dribble "Brains," before you explode due to decompression. Some resurrection.

04:58 / 24.07.07

Polaris? First star to the right and straight on until you see the green of her hair?

04:59 / 24.07.07

papers I just collapsed on my keyboard laughing

04:59 / 24.07.07

There's a Polaris / Lorna Dane / Dogstar joke in there somewhere, but it fails to be in the funny region of the spectrum. Lame.

05:02 / 24.07.07

Im going to assume it was bery funny and laugh.
I shall make a point to watch that movie.
and The Warriors. I havent seen that either.

But for now Im using Captain's Perogative and heading to my quarters. Whoever beats my squid in a best of 4 arm wrestling match is in charge.

G'night, Me Hearties!

05:03 / 24.07.07

Cry, Havok and let slip the dogstar... yeah, no it's better to not even try.

O, Captain! My Captain! Our navigation's veering to dangerously unfunny!

05:04 / 24.07.07

Night, Cap'n! We'll do y'proud!

05:05 / 24.07.07

Night, Cap.

And another nightcap for me, too, I guess, with another likely to follow.

05:06 / 24.07.07

gnite sir! sweet dreams!

05:07 / 24.07.07

*sets to wrestling squid*

05:10 / 24.07.07

Sets to watching Dr. Chain Monkey wrestle Small Giant Squid.

So, ever notice how many nautical references there are in the Traveling Willburys' songs? I'd never caught that before.

05:11 / 24.07.07

05:16 / 24.07.07

It's a classy squid that wears boots. This is invariable truth.

05:19 / 24.07.07

alright, that's my watch done as well, i think, and i'm off to bed. Twas lovely shifting ye all!

05:26 / 24.07.07

G'night.

Still kicking, Papers? Or am I the last 'lither lateshifting? (Which would mean I should probably just clean instead of cleaning and posting.)

05:27 / 24.07.07

Nice to see you, Leigh.

I'm going to churn out a couple hundred more words and then head off as well. I'm losing steam and there's not enough coal to keep me stocked 'til morning a-comes.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:17 / 25.07.07

Sigh.. do I have to start each night?

02:17 / 25.07.07

But you do it so well...
