We shall fend off the troublemakers pirates!
Defend the site realm!

Is anybody actually steering this ship? We've sailed past that lighthouse 3 times.

LST · 30/05/2012 21:30

Has everyone passed out from all the rum?

TheOneWithTheCrown · 30/05/2012 21:30

Might be a bit soggy LST. Throw some figs in to stop the scurvy.

TheOneWithTheCrown · 30/05/2012 22:00

I don't think Keira Knightly has big anything. Maybe her ego?

MrsSnaplegs · 30/05/2012 22:01
