Hurm…
Things are looking bleak for The Custer, Daredevilers. But alas, there’s nothing we can do for the stalwart crew except raise a glass in their honor…
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil be done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The mate was fixed by the bosun’s pike
The bosn brained with a marlinspike
And Cookey’s throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten
And there they lay all good dead men
Like break o’ day in a boozing ken
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of a whole ship’s list
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion’s axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there he lay and the soggy skies
Dripped all day in up-staring eyes
At murk sunset and at foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Fifteen men of ‘em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Ten of the crew had the murder mark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Twas a cutlass swipe or and ounce of lead
Or a yawning hole in a battered head
and the scuppers’ glut with a yawning red
And there they lay aye damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrariwise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Be here NEXT WEEK! Who knows, we might even have another sing-a-long.\
Till next time!

I’m more of a “What Can You Do With a Drunken Sailor” kind of guy, so I love the song selection. I’m sure that the Captain has another trick up his sleeve, and I can’t wait to “sea” what it is!
We can only hope, Crazyman. But, for the moment it looks rather bleak.
“What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Make him the Skipper of an Exxon Tanker…”
wait…. is he about to use the maru to deep fry some nazis?
Nope.
The “Maru” weapon or the “ZARK” as I like to call it is a “cube-based system”, and Tactical dutifully pointed out that the battle station is somehow inhibiting those capabilities.
Ehhh…I’m more of a beer kinda guy, which is exactly what the crew will be toasting to Cap’n Custer afore this tale be done!
A long time ago, way back in history,
when all there was to drink was nothin’ but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.
He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.
The Curtis bar, the James’ Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well
one thing you can be sure of, its Charlie’s beer they sell
so all ye lads a lasses at eleven O’clock ye stop
for five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5
A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
Its only eight pence ha’penny and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5
He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he’s filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.
The Lord bless Charlie Mops!

That’s the spirit, Thracecius! Thanks for sharing.
No problem! Beer is good for the spirits (HA! no, I didn’t miss your pun, unintentional or not), generally speaking, and keeping them up is what sees ya through the tough times.
(“Drink responsibly.” “What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard ya, I heard ya!”)
It is tough to follow a dog act, or a drinking song, so I’ll just say let’s hope this Custer Hasn’t met his Indians…
Discretion, as they say, is the better part of valor.
But, yes, let’s hope this isn’t OUR Custer’s “Little Big Horn.”
“I have a bad feeling about this” panel!
They’ll never lose them without the S.E.A. drive. Floppy drives are just way too slow. I mean, could you imagine how many 5 1/4″ Discus fish it would take to pull a submarine???
