a-sailing out to sea!
When you hear our gentle singing
You'll be sure to turn and flee."

It's great having a widely unknown holiday on my birthday.
Turning 16 tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to the 25th more. ;)

Let me just say, this screenie is from the Curse of Monkey Island (3), and it is to date one of the greatest games I have ever played. In fact, I literally feel bad for "gamers" who have never played this gem. It is hilarious, well drawn and animated, with great voicework and music you won't forget your whole life.
Fuck ninjas. Pirates for the fuckin WIN.
