YArrrr...

Do ye think Madame Chantal's will open up a franchise? That torture chamber 'The Count of Monte Christo Room' has kept us Pirates happy for years. Is Sibling Bluenose still locked in there?

Nuthin' beats the real thing though!

He got off lightly. Could have been Vallery.

Yep. He forgot the code-phrase to get out 20 years ago, but Madame pretends she thinks he's still enjoying it. Well she does charge by the minute.

Thread Perverts!
