Aye, I twas but a green lad when I signed onto this voyage, there was many a hand that was seasoned and sought and won the quarry in years past. From time to time they show off the trophies of past conquests, and mighty fine specimens they be. This being my first excited I was early on, aye and excited was the old hands to. First we had to learn what our quarry would be,there was much talk amongst the crew what exactly was desirable, what traits we should look to have. Tis a mighty fine crew,though opinions differed there was equality showed. Even one as green about the gills as I was given a fair honest hearing. Not everything went my way,but pleased was I nonetheless. That all voices was allowed the floor meant a great deal in my books. Then once the quarry settled upon oh how the crew did chatter then! But alas the excitement of the early days gave way to quite anticipation as the weeks slid by like the briney foam. The be one of the crew, an odd fellow, Australian I believe. Not sure what he does exactly, I've seen him mumbling to hisself under the poopdeck. He scribbles secretly on bits of scrap paper he finds. Tis a bit eccentric at times,keeps birds about hisself. Especially this one rather plain looking fellow, that bird cackles like a man possessed!! Unnerving it is, but for all that he makes the whole ship a better place to be. Why this voyage without him just wouldn't have been the same, I see him wispering to the captain,they know some secret about our quest but they keep it for themselves. Perhaps I may even get to see what it was he's been scribbling on those papers. The excitement is growing again,our quest is drawing nigh unto the end. Good Captain knarfeng is calling roll to see who still stands fast while first mate Peregrin and the comand crew look on.Me and good ol' PresterJohn and that crazy Aussie are down the list a ways, but our turn is coming soon. Why I think I heard Capt. call out cigarrodog and a few minutes later I think I could make out duckdog being called. Hard to hear all of them called above the excited murmurs,as long as I get the call,I still stand fast
Speculation adds suspense and makes it fun. I feel sure a lot of folks are wondering what the likely production schedule is at this point. But honestly.... makes no difference one way or the other.... Thanksgiving or Christmas knife.... This should be a nice knife.
