Spring Cleaning

Captain Drew's Mum

Dear Diary,
“If you don’t clean out your ship you’re never goin’ to meet a nice, young, child-bearin’ wench,” shouted me Mom last Thursday. “Don’t you know that lasses favor Captains what have scrubbed their hulls and polished their decks?” Well I suppose old Mum is right. Tis’ time for some Spring cleaning! I hates to get rid of perfectly good swag but you can’t keep everything, so today I’m tossing some things overboard.

  • My autographed copy of “A Pirate Looks at Jimmy Buffet”? Splash. Sorry Jimmy.
  • The wedding garter from Jenny “Swishy Bottom” McMurdo, Empress of the Ten Dollar Dance? Splash.
  • My collectible Franklin Mint “Flying Spaghetti Monster Over Toldeo” statuette? Splash. I be Methodist anyway.
  • Coleco-vision? Splash. I never did see Smurfette without her bloomers. Truly a shame.
  • Donald Trump action figure? Splash. Whoever heard of “karate hair action” anyhow?
  • Ronco Boobmaster 5000? Splash. Wenches’ll either show ’em to you or they won’t. Two plastic bowls glued together don’t seem to work any extra magic.

Hmmm, now I be wonderin’ if I could have sold some of that rubbish instead of throwin’ it into old Davy Jones’ locker. But would anybody want to buy some of Captain Drew’s old swag?

    Never underestimate the power of eBay.

    I will never look at you in that mask the same way again! Not that I looked at you in a certain way before… never mind you know what I mean. Just make sure you scrub your own deck.
