"What a great greeting! Thanks for the wonderful welcome, folks.
Mobius, let's take a walk over here a minute."

Whispering, now. "Mobius, thanks for the chance at a vacation, partner! Once Mastermike is trained, maybe you can come along! A couple days of fishing, warm breezes and water ready to swim. Oh, and I forgot; did you notice the big jump in our bank balance? There were literally dozens of countries which had cash rewards for the pirates, dead or alive. We have gotten over $13 Million; this should help run the dungeon for a while, eh? (extends a hand to shake) Partner, you got us some new friends here too! Hey, I'm going to have a special party tonight, and I brought some of your favorite imported rum!"

He smiled at the mention of the rum, and assured me he'd be there. We shook hands again, said he was glad I was back, then excused himself, as one of our lovlies needed the speed on her spanking machine adjusted.

I picked up the microphone on the public address system, and said, "Hey, denizens of the Dungeon, we are having a special dance party tonight, starting about 7:30 in the big hall by the pool. Special contest for people who like '40's and 50's musical movies. The Music Man, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Paint Your Wagon -- featuring Clint Eastwood's only singing in history--, and more. Lots of other music for other tastes. Singing along, whatever kind of dancing, and no early morning chores. Dee & A will be our bartenders... and our medical personnel will not allow you to imbibe too much.

"See you all later --- and thanks again for the wonderful, warm welcome."

This was going to be fun.
