We’re whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, but there ain’t no whales so we tell tall tales and sing this whaling tune.
SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER
WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE
BREAK YOUR BACKS AND CRACK YOUR OARS MEN
IF YOU WISH TO PREVAIL!
THIS IVORY LEG IS WHAT PROPELS ME
HARPOONS THRUST IN THE SKY
WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE
Shame on Japan and Denmark.
All whale harpooners are whale bastards
Ahab? Is that a biblical character?
Call me Fishmail.
~~In one of the later books, yeah, but its inclusion as part of the bible is a matter of some contention.~~
(Doesn't make sense the way I intended. Thanks a lot, 1 Kings 16:29, you ruin everything.)
Hopefully we won't need a giant space cylinder to sort things out.
Now I need to watch the Star Trek The Motion Picture, Star Trek The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek The Search for Spock, Star Trek The Voyage Home and Star Trek The Undiscovered Country all over again. It's only been like four or five months since last time. Can't be helped.
Especially Carl. But luckily for whales, Carl is a bastard because he shot a harpoon in the captain's face.
All Whale Harpooners Are Whale Bastards
One of them should be a sperm whale.
