Capt'n Kit (not to be confused with Kidd) was out for a prize! His fellow pirates had unanimously elected him Ship's Captain in the last field of 64 over a bottle of rum and a dead man's chest. The dead man being the former pirate captain who had expired quite suddenly whilst partaking of a dish of hamburger burger served to him by that sloe eyed seductress, Brianna. Brianna had become weary of the old fart's tendency to have TWO girls in every port, and may possibly have laced the old boy's final meal with some added delicacy. If so, none of the rest complained. The deceased was mourned by no one, least of all the band of rapscallions under his command who had strong suspicions that he was cheating them out of pieces of silver, maps to hidden treasures, and worst of all shorting them on their rum ration! The wake had been quite festive in fact, especially when the young pirate, Kit Soonie, had discovered the captain's stash of Bacardi Gold (151 proof!) and ordered it equally distributed among the crew! He was elected new captain at once and after the funeral festivities were over and all had recovered from their hangovers, the merry band of brigands set sail in quest of whatever opportunity the sea might send their way. UT's ship appeared to be it!

Meanwhile, UT finally discovered the cabin boy's little trick. "LJ," he shreiked, "You appear to have pasted a smilie on my spy glass! I'll get you for this!"

"But not before THEY will!" said the unrepentent boy, pointing back at the pirate's vessel which was quickly gaining ground (or actually sea) behind them. The grammaphone began to play a saucy tune by the 10,000 maniacs.
