The second bit.

This is the nuttiest plan I've heard all week.

Crit is always good. Written for fanfic100. Little Damn Table.

Is that what that was? I thought it was the death cry of an anally raped hyena

I nearly fell of the chair at that one.

Have Lister serenade the pirates to death?

Makes perfect sense to me Arn, if anyone can do that it's Lister.

"Ar," said the first one, in a smooth, cultured accent. "Prepare to be boarded, sirs. Good evening!"

Wonderful! As is the whole idea of mechanoid pirates. I love the description of them too.
The instant drunkness chips are a great idea, though it doesn't really guarnatee you won't regret it in the morning. The midsection scene was great. Bittersweet and sexy. And damnit, the one time Rimmer is drunk enough to actually be talking about important things, Lister is watching him make funny faces! The final scene is just sad.

Lister sighed and turned back to the bottle of turps. At least it had gotten the mustache off

If only I had Lister's optimism, my life would be so much easier. He really can see some good in every situation.

Oh, and it does rather work as an episode (except that bits that, you know, would never be in an episode, but they're yummy).

Oh, yes - Kryten was only referring to the hangover aspect and (I tried to imply) the impotence-from-too-much.

"Chirpy gerbil-faced optimism." Oh, yes. That's Lister. "We'll get through this!" :D

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked.
