An Unwashed story.

[The Hanged Man]

Well I went to the "forbidden zone." (you know the bit behind the tumble drier)
There I found this brilliant UV story, I have no idea when this was written, but I think it was a while ago.

[Hoopy Frood]

It was definitely before my time.

[The Hanged Man]

I figured so, I don't know who wrote it or when it was written.

It's one of the few things that is still available without a way back machine.

I think that may have been Vrag's website but I could be wrong.  If Turjan was still around I'm sure he would be able to shed some light on it.

Yep, what you have here is a story penned by a New Zealand UVer by the name of "The Late Fishman Bob". It dates back to...crikey, about the year 2000 I'd say. And that would actually be Fishman Bob's site you've linked to. A quality find there indeed, Mr. The Hanged!

*begins to wander off back into the shadows*

What's that you say? Where have I been?

Oh, nowhere.
And everywhere. Just here and there really. Not far away whichever way you look at it - The Greasy Spoon is full of shadows these days, plenty of places to lurk.
Lurk, and drink tea. Because there's always time for tea

Welcome again, old friend. Glad you could stop in and say hi.

(For the newer people, Turjan was one of the admins when I first became admin oh so many moons ago. And he was one of the longest serving admins.)

[The Hanged Man]

I've heard of Turjan a number of times.

Welcome Back by the way.

Lies!  The 'real' Turjan is a pirate!

Except the tea comments are points in your favor.

The jury is still out.

Well, ill be damned! Hello Turjan, longtime no see!

Well in a way pirates are sort of archaeologists... they look for old treasures and artefacts to sell for booty.
Kind of like in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

Also...

I actually figured this out on my second reading of the story, there's a cryptic clue in the text... or maybe it's actually said in the dialogue, whatever...

Well now, here we have a unique artifact indeed, Vestibulis denizenii! He doesn't need an archaeologist to identify him of course, for he is himself Unwashed archaeology 

I could try to sell him for booty, but he's been doing that himself for years anyway - however the lack of wenches in the Vestibule leads me to deduce that such a sales pitch is not exactly efficacious. So in the words of Captain Jack, "I see no profit in it for me"

Keep him for now, he might be worth more in a few years.

[Hoopy Frood]

Who knows, Dr. Jones? In a thousand years, even you may be worth something.

Big words!  Big words!!

*Places feet on BlueCross' chair*
Life's good...
