Private Pirate Monkey Brainstorming...

[ttg_Stemmle]

Hey guys 'n' gals,

In the spirit of "tapping the hive mind," I've got a few enigmatic questions for y'all:

-- What sort of book titles do you think could be found on the Voodoo Lady's bookshelf? Y'know, things like "The Joy of Hex," or "Screams of My Father."

-- For reasons that defy explanation, we're trying to enumerate dozens of unique kinds of winds, things like "The Wind the Blows Off Your Hat," or "The Wind that Sounds Remarkably Like an Unhappy Echidna." Can you think of any others?

-- Lastly, what's your pirate name?

Not promising anything,
Mike "Sleepy Boy" Stemmle

I can't really think of anything on the first two, but I know what my pirate name is:

My pirate name is "Captain Khabanja" !

[Wicked Mouse]

Just brainstorming, as suggested:
"Voodoo for Dummies"
"My best friend is a voodoo doll"
"Poisonous Potion Recipes"
"Monkey Voodoo for Monkey Business"
"A Death Man's Hand"
"To the Point" (referring to the needles)

My pirate name could be my nickname
Capt. William Mouse, aka Wicked William or Wicked Mouse .. or so

Here are my suggestions:
