Ahoy everyone
Allow me to introduce myself I am ........?
Well I know I am a bear but unfortunately due to a bit of tumble on board ship I cannot remember my name. I'd rather not talk about it but what I would say is, it involved a rough sea crossing, losing my ID over board and one too many tots of rum.....the sun was over the yardarm I hasten to add.
My name is on the tip of my furry little tongue but alas it just won't come to me.
No worries though I am sure that the readers of this sterling blog can help me. The chaps here have allowed me to feature oost in a bid to achieve two goals.
1. To help me remember my name &
2. To find a lovely new home.
As you can tell from my rather smart uniform I was 2nd Officer on board the cruise liner 'Marches of Dime' and was only ever referred to on board as '2nd Officer' or 'oi you there'.
The Marches of Dime is a grand old ship and she has been my home for many a seafaring year.
I have been to places you can only dream about, had great firework parties and although not quite having a woman in every port, I certainly have had some fun (if you know what I mean - *wink wink* *nudge nudge*).
Tragically since my unfortunate 'accident', as well as losing my name, my sea legs have left me too and I am unable to sail the seven seas anymore (the Captain has got tired of having the poop deck swilled after each venture out of port). It is time, I am afraid, to hang up my hat and become a land lubber.
It is to this end that I need your help.
If you can guess my name and (if you don't think this is too forward of me) I will come and live with you.
I am a very clean able bodied bear (see how white my uniform is?), I always put the toilet seat down, I can cook, make great cocktails (learned this through my travels), I sing a mean sea shanty and I will keep you amused for hours with my yarn spinning of the high seas.
Hey, you could even send the tales I tell you to the 3 bears here and they can share them with all their readers.
Currently I am at barrack stanchioned in a hut dockside in Venezula with a gnarly old 'down in the jib' fisherman called Pedro but I will have to move in a few weeks (Pedro has some very strange bedroom habits indeed.....)
Busy Bear has offered to put me up in the short term... but to be honest, he really doesn't need any more long term house guests to stay.
The guys on ship have tried many names to try and jog my memory, some weren't that pleasant I can tell you...... so please have a go and splice the main brace... you can suggest as many times as you like .......

I know you!!!! you're Sheets O'Brian, that Irish bear that could drink any one under the table ..... remember me? Daddy Pee who could ....... well never mind that ...... nice to see you. If you want somewhere to stay, there's always a berth over at my place

Gosh Daddy Pee pee you know a lot of sailors??
I think he looks a bit like Vestil Virgil off a Bulgarian grain ship that docked in Liverpool in the
70s .........
I was gonna say the same thing...a lot of drunken Irish sailors! Hey...my grandaddy bear Sean McBoffin Bear was a sailor!...I wonder if Daddy Pee Pee knew him?
hey my grand daddy bear was a sailor too and was from Down Souff (Freddy 'the Flybear by night' do you know him?... Daddy Pee Pee knows everyone....
Clearly, that bear is Captain Theodore Stubing. I don't care if that's the winning name or not ... totally looks like Stubing to me.
Dangit. Now I've got the Love Boat theme song in my head. So do you.
I think that's Barnacle Bill the Sailor! I don't want to talk about why I think that. Let's just say he's very tenacious and keep him away from beer and women.
Thanks Dorky Dad...but I always thought it was Captain Stoobig. Then again, I dunno...I get confused so easily.
You all know nothing, it's Able Seaman Saline Drip known to his friends as Gaylord Trumper because of his habit of ...... oh never mind, I don't really want to talk about that.
I believe you are my old sea chum, Ten Cent Tipsy, named for your two bad habits: drinking too much and stiffing the bartenders.
Well I would add Sir Skipper but as he was clearly the 2nd mate then I shall tag him Sir Goofy Gilligan:-)))
Of course if he is wealthy and he does like to drink a lot...how about Sir Thirsty Thurston?
Now I have The Love Boat and Gilligan's Island stuck in my head!!:-)))
SnOwY bEaR - I Googled Captian Stoobig and the correct spelling is Stubing. There is a rather uncanny resemblance. I wonder???
Oh there is something about a bear in a uniform .... how about
Horatio Hetherington-Snogworthy
*snigger*
BB (or BBBB) - googling its too big must have brought up a multitude of sights (I am shielding my eyes now)
yes I see a resemblance with 2nd Officer but that guy has too much 'scrambled egg' on his shoulder for this bear (scrambled egg is the amount of stripes he has.. ah that reminds me about the time when I had such 'scrambled egg'....)
some fabby names posted here ... I am not going to show them to '2nd Officer' until the 5th November so keep them coming ... ;-)
