Eek! The town is overrun with rats!

Ugh. Can't believe I just said “eek”.
|

You call this overrun? This ain't overrun. I can still see the floor, most places.
|
|
Hey, if I got rid of the rats, do you think THAT would make Marge love me again?
|
|
Shrug. That's how uninvested in your question I am. I'm actually saying the word “shrug” out loud.
|
|
I'll take that as a "yes"!

If we're to stand a chance against Pirate Captain Ziff, my crew, we'll need to sharpen yer skills.

|
|
You mean like sailing, sword fighting, and swashbuckling?

Homer, we're running out of rum, we keep sailing in circles, and I got scurvy. Mind you, I had it already.

|
Arrrrr. As a man of the sea, I may be able to help. Let's cheat.
|
|
Cheat? But I'm a pirate! It is simply not done!
|
|
|
What if we stop pretending we're in pirate times, and we use modern guns, radar, and computers to take down our foe?
