It doesn't matter, just something the men can hang in the galley in hopes that Wolferz will fill them with something...Donna left her suitcase, try looking there, it's under Wolferz's bunk...

I found a few of these in her suitcase:

I managed to get this submarine-ready tree:

It's already bent over, so it fits in better.

I also found a bunch of other items in her case, which I think are best thrown over the side and never spoken of again.

I like the tree, with a lil work, it will look nice.

I was hoping for some red silk stockings....

I have considerable experience beating the skins so I volunteer for the band.

What you do in your private time is of interest only to yourself...

You asked first, so you'll be beating the skins.

I'm for the hills of NC and good blowing, so I'll do the jug.. I'm sure we got an empty jug around here..

I think I have an old washboard in the basement. What will be the band's forte, Bluegrass?

I do a good turn on paper and comb, I'm sure we can find those somewhere round here. All we need is someone on the tea-chest bass and we'll have the makings of a top skiffle band!

Armistead · 12-05-14, 05:59 PM

Can someone play the spoons?

I've some practice with the bagpipes, if you'd like. Not amazing, but it doesn't sound like a dying cat.

Tango589 · 12-05-14, 08:50 PM

Bravo! If you've managed to stop them sounding like a cat being stretched across a tennis court, you must be damn near virtuoso. This is just the sort of talent we desperately need!

Buddahaid · 12-05-14, 09:38 PM

Pipes? Are you trying to win the war?
