[mvisconte]

I am fulfilling a promise to a sick friend (or maybe I'm doing this on a dare, I can never remember).

I showed up all ready to post something relevant, but noticed that this forum is for non-relevant posts. Heck, I'm flexible.

Well, it may have taken SOME wind out of my sails. And I didn't top off the gas tank, so I could be stranded here until high tide. Things could get despirate, as I am down to the last two shots of gin, have only a gallon of cider, and the pisse de moustique (? loose translation?) has not finished fermenting.

I will be brave, tho', as I am a MAN, and that's what we do. Besides, there's a ship tender that comes alongside daily, and I can trade him a carton of cigarettes for a case of apple schnaps and a bag of crisps, so I should survive until I can get the ship-to-shore operator to call me a tow truck.

Anyway, I've rambled on a bit, I've got to go see my shrink to get a pinwheel.

And with that, my obligations are finished. Now I'm in it just for the money.
