“No,” another replied as he clamped his hands between his legs to stop the shaking. “I heard tell long before that when a stranger comes bearing a candygram, it’s a sure sign a landshark is a’comin. One took my pa that way.” The others cowered even more deeply, for all had heard whispers of the landshark that sometimes took the shapes of samurai and giant bumblebees…
...but none of them could have imagined the horror that would grip their hearts as in the far distance they could all hear a deceptively playful song, the lyrics gripping their hearts in mortal fear: “I love you, You love me, We’re a happy family…” A wind suddenly blew out the candles that lit the saloon and screams filled the darkness. The men were never seen or heard from again.

YES, the next installment is ready...but I'll wait a week (though some might say to wait forever....)

BUT if you're not fans of Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Rocky Horror and the like, you probably wouldn't understand. I guess I've committed the sin of marketing to too small of a niche to make much of an impression....

If you want more comments, just start a pirate joke or horse shoe joke thread. That seems to work.
