Private Pirate Monkey Brainstorming...

[Eduardo]

Trying to think during work hours: not good...

-- 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."

- Swamp Sweet Swamp
- Cock-a-Doodle-Voodoo: The Legend of El Pollo Diablo

-- 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?

- The Wind that winds you up
- The wind that whistles a really nice tune
- The wind that was a flautist
- The wind in the willows...

-- Lastly, what's your pirate name?

Back at you later...

Good, clean fun!

-- What sort of book titles do you think could be found on the Voodoo Lady's bookshelf?

-- 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?

The wind that startles
The wind that just hangs there
The wind that fells trees
The wind that has no name (OK, no other name)
The wind that denudes O_o
The wind that makes phlegm fly (or, the wind that launched a thousand *hoik*s)
The wind that dances the fandango (grim?)

[Azure]

1. Urg this was hard:
Poor Herman's Almanac
What's that on the Western fro--AH!
( and sigh) Hairy Pot-ARRRRR! and the philanthropists bone.

2.
The wind of discontent.
John Wyndham
The wind that thought it could, but couldn't.
The wind that was just strong enough to ruin a picnic, but not to fly a kite.
The wind that sounds like two gerbils sneezing.
The wind that sounded like justice, but smelt like rabbits.

3. I'm pretty sure any name I came up with has to to end up with my internet name so I'll go with Azure the apocryphal.

I'm loving it

For a book, how about:
Guybrush & LeChuck: The Prophecy (One can only live when the other dies... erm... for good.)

[serweet]

For t'Voodoo lady:
"Hex and Hacks"
"F-101 Voodoo"
"Voodoo vs Hoodoo - the cans and cannots of the hexing world"
"Voodoo etiquette"
"Voodoo for Dummies"

As for windy things not made by Heinz:
The wind that reminds you of those evenings after a bean casserole
The wind that can be read as two different words
The wind that whistles in your ear, much like the high pitched drone of a nagging child
The wind that could upturn a resting iguana
The wind that cries Mary

And my pirate name would be Hornswaggler Raine, perhaps, or something better. With a cool title/prefix perhaps, like Powder Monkey, or Cockswain.
