UslessTriviaMan as PirateCat runs him through: "You know, pirates were much more likely to use belaying pins as they were cutlasses when trying to -urk!" PirateCat as phoamslinger hands him a beer: "Ah, that was thirsty work." Drinks. "This grog tastes odd... Wait! PirateCats don't get...

now that's a useless trivia person if ever there was one.

damn. 2 typos. I thought I caught all of them. oh well, consider them a gift to steeldragons (end of post #245).

ok, the story's written. unlike the first time, I'm just going to sit on it and do a bit of editiing and try to firm up a couple of the pictures. I'll probably post it tomorrow.
