Sounds like you've been using cheap, bootleg scrap instead of the 100% OW-approved stainless steel plates we're supposed to wear - bad Joan! Into the brig with you!

Bread and water for you, Joan. Luckily for you, flogging was banned in OW III.

Oh mercy, mercy!! I have done great wrong and brought disgrace upon the good name of OW.
I will stay in the brig until I have made up for my terrible metallic mess-up.

Just to mention - there's a mouse in the brig with me. Could you perhaps furnish, please, a little cheese, salad, and soft fruit, fresh coffee, breakfast pastries....solely for my murine friend of course?

A followup to last week:



Joan gets into trouble with the PTB for using the wrong armour when conquering logbooks.

St Joan of the Whalers

She looks suitably repentant!

That's a cracker Chris! Excellent. And absolutely right to end up in irons on a saggy straw bed made with sackcloth. I think the look in my eyes might be 'Whatever was I thinking of to bring such ill-repute to OW?'

From now on it's Stainless Steel for yours truly

Here I am (out of irons and in fine steel) - praying for forgiveness to the OW Family...

You've even got the Sword of Righteousness with which to smite those log keepers of perpetually bad handwriting!

I'll let you know when they have been smitten

OW'ers showing off their mighty stainless-steel plate armor and swords to the general public.

Nice!

They look very fierce indeed - then again they don't have those mighty swords just to sharpen up Capt. Bodfish's log pencil

The ladies look very impressed!

Fierce, and TALL! Or is everyone else short?

What is that on the ground? A balloon?

A jester's pig's bladder balloon I'd suggest. It's looking a little deflated in after seeing those balloon popping swords

That jester-like personage in the background is looking up to mischief. Mayhap in hopes an inattentive lady steps on it?
