If these contest things got decided on who makes whalers laugh so much they spray chowder onto their computer screens, Waxwing and KJ4ever'd be getting scrimshawed today. But the winner, for the second time is Labsnabys. According to the book Pirates of Pensacola, "the skull and crossbones was replaced by the subtler but ultimately more blood-curdling black flag with a white silhouetted hourglass. When sailors saw it flying from a pirate’s mast, it meant their time was running out." Labysnabys, let me know what you want scrimshawed this time. Honorable mention to BGC, who got the answer too, just not in five damn minutes like the overeducated cat.

Gus,

If my silly answer gave you a laugh then I am content.  I recognized the hourglass and knew what it meant but the answer had already been posted.  So I carefully examined the Police boat for a hidden flag just in case you were being sneaky but no flag there.  No hanging chads, no dimples, no butterfly ballots here - I was LTTG.


labsnabys, congratulations! *wingclaps* and will you ask for a lab this time?

Re: Cat o’ Two Scrimshaws
I figured you knew it, being a smart bird and a pirate to boot.  What does LTTG mean?

I ain't smart, just lucky.  I was browsing pirate sites and exploring the pages devoted to pirate flags not too long ago.  The flag hanging over the sleeping area of my nest reads "Surrender the Booty!" and I wanted to see if it could possibly mean anything other than gold, silver, etc. Humans keep grinning when they see it and I don't understand why.

LTTG = Late To The Gate. Since real life is not a tortoise/hare story it means I lost even though I knew the answer.  Ah well - I have a great scrimshaw already but I am a competitive birdy and it's just the idea of missing the chance.  *smiles*
