Live Entertainment Appreciation, Thursday, Period 5
Jonothon was rocking his tricorn hat and shoulder parrot today, thank you all very much, as he waited for his students to join him on the Causeway.
"Today, we're going to go and see another sporting event," he stated, once everyone had arrived. "Because I can't get this bloody hat or this damn bird to go anywhere, I had to find something that'd be welcoming to a pack of oddballs dressed as pirates, today."
The bird on Jono's shoulder squawked, and then added, "Arr, mateys! We be goin' ashore t'see a real keelhauling! I got me trusty hat and parrot, and ain't never seen a more scurvy group of bilge rats than ye!"
"Er… thank you."
"Brawwk!"
Jono and the bird stared at one another for a moment, before Jono shook his head and nodded toward the portal.
"I hope you like baseball. We're going to Pittsburgh to see today's Pirates game."
Jono couldn't care less about baseball, himself. He'd far sooner be watching football, instead. Proper football. The kind where the ball actually spent a fair amount of time touching the players' feet.
The parrot, who had no idea what baseball was, hesitated for a moment before just saying, "Avast!"
Jono shook his head and fed it a cracker from his pocket, and then waved people through the portal. He could say more, but anybody who had ever had a large parrot screeching in their ear could probably imagine why he wasn't in a hurry to encourage it to speak more.
[Open!]
