I'm sure the kangaroo's response was silent sympathy - poor Stephen!

Do kangaroos vocalize? What do they sound like?

The only idea I have is Milne's Kanga and Roo who of course speak perfect English. :-D

I have no biological idea, but for some reason I picture them as wuffling in a snort-sigh fashion. Don't know why, really. It'd be rather consoling to hear even your marsupial companion sigh, I suppose, though.

:-) Aw!

I haven't found anything on Google yet, but I found this. Scroll down to the pictures of wearable pouches and the joey-bouncer. :-D

Jack says "as long as it ain't a vampiric sloth!"

"He vowed to me he wouldn't go asking questions of vampires! And now he is forsworn, the heathen!"

:-D

"Valuable and ingenious" swore Jack "but false he was too, and perjured. He had voluntarily sworn he would not have truck with vampires, and there, attached to his bosom, spread over it and enfolded by one arm, was a greenish hairy thing, like a mat - a loathesome great vampire of the most poisonous kind no doubt. 'I should never have believed it of him : his sacred oath in the morning watch and now he stuffs the ship with vampires." SURELY he must be ashamed, surely he might blush, for all love!?

Nope...just idiot delight!

Personally I think debauchment was Jack's subconscious payback for having to go through Stephen's proud sickbay....oh the amputation, oh the humanity!

No supper tonight, Killick...

Just had a mental picture of kangaroos hopping about Jack's quarterdeck!

ghazalah July 1 2004, 13:22:15 UTC

"Stephen! Please remove these reptiles from the quarterdeck!"

:-D I'd love to meet one in person. My zoo doesn't have any! :-(

Yeah, my beastmaster went out of business briefly, so I was unable to procure the dainties for all y'all. But she's back in business, so all is well!
