Revised Wanted Poster: The Blubbery B. Whale Takes A Palpable Hit From Gus' Harpoon
Action! Harpoons! Actual whaling! Oh, this is so thrilling, I can't tell you, my dears. If this keeps up, the blubbery bass Tod will start to look like an old-school punk rocker from Soho, what with all the scars, piercings, and even tatoos he'll acquire in his long-drawn out battle with Gus.
You can see the harpoon flung so heroically by Gus, sticking out like an old lady's whisker on the far side of his ugly mug. My word, he's got a face like the back end of a London cab, that one. Not one of the new style ones with the ads plastered all over and painted bright un-British colours, I mean the old-school cabs with a big old boot and a rattler of an engine.
Anyway, good job Flarq is there to advise on the next step, meaning to lower away the boats and get the harpooners set and ready to fling. Very exciting, very manly, ripping good yarn and so on.
I think we gels will stay "in" tonight and have a darts competition with the picture of the B. whale, in fact. I believe it might be a kind of sympathetic magick.

That's a nexcellent idea, Trish. Cutlery we have on hand, harpoons are hard to come by.
Please feel free to post photos (or scimshaws) of the gels' dart competition. -- Rosco U. Hatten
*excellent idea, miz b!*
if darts aren't to be had, the lec&ts will donate all darnin' needles for the cause.....*hands you a list* i've worked out a schedule of shots to equate number of points received....shouldn't be quite as ugly as the requiem for the potentially dead that we threw last weekend....no jaegerbombs involved. not a one.
let the festivites begin, and let's do try not to allow the mcfinster brothers to play william tell with a pineapple again; they're doin' too well managin' cuddin cj's still to be lost to us in hospital for injuries sustained. if you catch my drift.
*bustles away to polish shot glasses and gather darning needles*

I think the darts competition may best be described as a qualified success; your cuddin cj should probably not have done the famous "hand trick." With a well-balanced set of darts, a good eye and a decent chance of accuracy, it can be done. With the McFinsters, it should only be done whilst wearing full Kevlar body armour.
However, there is no denying the entertainment value.
