Ah, the Lady....-s her- Such a beautiful ship...and such a beautiful picture! AWEsome shot, mate!! -clings to the Lady-

.....Wait, did I read that right? Some bloody bugger actually rammed the Lady's hull?

thank you!
-clings to the other side of the Lady-

yeah... you did.

it's a long story, though... some idiotic sailor with only a cat to keep him company decided to follow around the Lady. he found us when we stopped by Susha Island, made up a bunch of bogus stories to impress us -- everything from being an internationally recognized rock climber -- to getting pneumonia from that "storm last week" (there was no storm, by the way, the crew informed us of that later) -- to being a Viking specialist on the History Channel -- to being the "human spider" -- to dislocating both his knees and breaking his vertebrae (yet shocking the doctors by still being able to walk) -- and much more BS. I personally tried to be polite, or at least ignore him, but that crap about his knees really ticked me off, since I do have interesting knees (as you know). THEN, we thought we lost him once we left Susha, but he followed us! around the entire Puget Sound! he tried to pretend he was a salty sailor, but he let the sails on his boat flap around and totally depended on his motor. THEN, he decided to "visit" us (while we were stranded on Matia), and rammed the hull of the Lady because he couldn't control his sails! I swear, Captain JB was going to have him shot, stabbed, dropped from the rigging, and keelhauled, just for that little stunt. but with the whole stalking thing going on, our Bosun told him in none too polite a manner to leave us alone. he didn't really listen, but did run out of gas, and thus was forced to heed the Bosun's advice since we weren't about to give him a ride.

What. An. Idiot. I'm seriously too infuriated to think of an intelligent comment at the moment. -is about to explode-

My gosh, that's one crazy man. 'The human spider'? Are we reading too many comic books, dearie? He sounds like a huge idiot too. Sailing without even knowing how to work the sails?? Was he skipping class when they were teaching common sense? And for ramming the Lady's hull, I would have been quite tempted to arrange a meeting between him and Mr. Baseball Bat.

But, as always she still looks beatifull in all her pics, so that's good!

-hides behind a caramel shield before OTS does explode-

and furious as *we* are... just think of the hired crew. they were in killing-vengeance-wrath mode!! and once he was out of the picture, they even made him a forbidden topic to speak of, even though some of the more lighthearted mates wanted to poke fun at him.

anyway! on a lighter note... -drops apples off on OTS's doorstep to try to pacify her-

yeah. a nutcase to the core. I swear, people like him are the reason why humanity is in such a sad state... why would you even buy a boat, seeing as they're bloody expensive, if you won't take the time to learn how to use it?

I would've hated to have seen the crew's reaction, much less the Captain's!!

-takes the apples- Thanks mate! -munches on the apples, and calms down- Sorry for the explosive behavior... It was just my initial reaction....
