Blogship Lollipop

All Hands Hoay

by la_spice @ 2009-09-19 – 08:26:42

Avast ye scurvy crew there be freebooters abaft the “Goodship Lollipop” and they be plundering the cackle fruit and eating all the salmagundi. The powder monkey is up the mizzen mast and the old salts have taken to the heads on the poop deck. The bosun has been swinging the lead and the pesky varmits have made off with the hogshead and black jacks. Well blow me down!

So use your deadlights me mateys and remember "deadmen tell no lies"

Just off to compose a picaroon or two – now then what rhymes with “rullocks”?

This should cheer us up

Champagne Cup

4 units of brandy
3 of maraschino
2 of Benedictine
1 bottle of champagne, chilled
2 pints of chilled sparkling water
orange and lemon slices

Place the sliced fruit in a large jug and add the spirits. Leave for half an hour ( I know, it's difficult.)
Add a handful of ice cubes and pour in the champagne and sparkling water immediately before serving in wine glasses.

It's an excellent way to improve the enjoyment of inferior champagne - not that I'd serve inferior champers!

We sit at our tables and sip champagne;
Ere one bottle goes, comes another again;
The waiters they skip and they scuttle about,
And the landlord attends us so civilly out.
So pleasant it is to have money, hey ho!
So pleasant it is to have money.

In the Doldrums

It's been very quiet here on the Blogship for quite a while now so I think perhaps it's time for it to go into dry dock for a short time. Maybe we'll have a Winter Cruise?

In the meantime why not join the new "Wide Awake Gang" and have a little bit of fun over here

Thank you for sailing with us.

Your Captain and Crew

Destination Unknown!

Earlier today blue2pink mentioned going to "Hope Cove". What a great sounding place

I think we should all set sail there in the Blogship - are you ready?

Or perhaps you can suggest some other great sounding places

How about "Bounty Island" for all you chocoholics?

Oh before you ask "The Virgin Islands" are out of bounds!!!

That got you all guessing and I know what some of you were thinking - shame on you!

Back in 1964 until 1967 there was a floating radio ship called Radio Caroline which was often referred to as "Pirate Radio"

This made me think that perhaps we could start a Pirate TV channel "Blog Ship TV"? In order to do so we need to get cracking and come up with some programmes that everyone will be talking about.

Here are some of my ideas.

Murphymole, Ravingmad and me will do a remake of the classic "Golden Girls"

We'll work on a new Sci-fi called "Blogship Enterprise"

A nautical soap called "The Rovers Return"

A quiz programme called "Educationally Challenged"

News at Ten will become "News at Twenty-two Hundred Hours"

How about a brand new cookery programme "Whale Meat Again"?

So get your thinking caps on and let me know what you suggest.

Have a lovely day!
