You prefer “philosopher’s stone spores”,
You are “enhanced … for psychonautical activity,”
and your ship’s name roughly translates in to Space Pidgin as
immaturity, naiveté
(Buddhism) open, eager attitude to learning, as if one is a beginner
you are a space traveller, indeed, Captain Hofmann!

Half of it, I am feeling lucky. Sure it is bad luck but nothing ventured nothing
gained.
I can’t upload images yet, so I have linked it http://photos.bradfordbenn.com/Links/Boing-Boing-Board/i-CnS9tQw/0/M/TopHatSharpieShip-M.jpg I think.
I did not put in the guitar, mine is gently weeping. Instead I put in my slide whistle. Yes, a real slide whistle. Plus I should get points for the Star Trek table cloth. I also used Sharpie brand markers exclusively as you can see.
Haiku are difficult…
I shall like both as I please, sir!
Thank you. I blame the Interwebs for not letting me post directly.
At least it isn’t a fedora.
Jacques stares a long time at the shape blocking the starfield in the command deck monitor. Somehow it is both puffy, bloated and soft and slightly deflated at the same time. A cheap, ersatz simulacrum of a thing that should be defined by rigidity, form, purpose.
And filled with cheap alcohol.
Is it possible to envision a more perfect metaphor for middle age, Jacques wonders?
He reminisces…all those nights of youth, vibrancy, possibility, the wild nights at the places to be. “The Best Drinks and the Worst View in the Galaxy” in the Exogorth’s Rectum.
But this is now. Jacques aligns his ship’s pathing systems to an open docking berth. He checks off the approach vector. Then, grimly, he sets his hands to the TAROT console. Panels are pressed, control windows interfaced. The system computes, and then delivers.
The Entropy angles slightly, quad-band resonance arrays humming as it shoots past The Inflatable Pub, picking up speed for a jump to warp. Jacques’ shoulders slump, ever so slightly.
[Drunken, Singing to himself.]
Hey, baby’s got a lazy day on Sunday,
Here’s a pound, we hang around’ til Monday.
Oh, baby, don’t let me down tomorrow,
Holding hands we both abandon sorrow,
Oh, for a chance to get away tomorrow.
Just what is it that you want to do?
We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time
That’s what we’re gonna do
No way baby let’s go
We’re gonna have a good time
We’re gonna have a party
“I no sing. you not enjoy song of my people…”
“…not without more drinks! Browf have one bottle of Valenberry Port. who want glass?”
Got any space-nectar?
I could trade you some space-bee-vomit; it’s very healthy.
(Browf has now had many beverages, and stands with his front hoofs on a chair and clears his throat. What follows sounds like a mournful war dirge, emerging deep and guttural from the belly of the space moose.)
form rank together
all of moose, all of moose.stand in many lines
all of moose, all of moose.search for wisdom
and love of other ones - everybody!think as one, act as one.
all of moose, all of moose.
(Browf climbs down from the chair and sits solemnly. You’re not quite sure, but you might have now seen a moose shed a tear.)
Awesome themesong!
