Is polar bear wrestling where WE wrestle the bears or we watch the bears wrestle each other? 
I refuse to wrestle polar bears, I'd rather wrestle an arctic fox...

...and neither did the tasmanian devil when he saw shagbark 
turns out he may be a devil - but certainly no daredevil

Harry and I were talking up in the Pelican's nest and here's an idea-
why don't we go steal I mean liberate the America's Cup.
a trophy like that doesn't belong in a land-locked country like switzerland.

Yea but the majority of the Alinghi crew were New Zealanders anyway
Good Captain, how about me being ship's lifeguard? I can swim, perform CPR, provide rescue breathing (don't worry- I have an airway mask)...

welcome to our pirate ship. I'm sure the captain will be around shortly to welcome you. In the mean time you can find what areas
of the ship are active by looking under A579684. The Navigator and main lookout are on a leave of Absense just now but there are plenty
of other pirates around, (especially in the Lighthouse Bar ) and
new crewmembers are always welcome.

Lifeguard!! Seems like an excellent concept provided you realize the limits and don't go rescuing those unfortunates that are forced to walk the plank at cutlass point.

Hmmm I dunno, maybe we should take pictures 
noone has walked the plank before, most people just do a fancy dive

I suppose I should earn my position...
*blows whistle 3 times and points at Purple Moose*
*tosses a life 
, and drags PM over to a less warm area*
*performs a graceful compact-jump and lands in the water with his trusty rescue tube at his side*
*gently lifts the flailing Moose out of submersion, and kicks his way over to the side of the ship to safety*
*checks ABC's (airway, breathing, and circulation), performs rescue breathing, cpr, utilizes an AED (automatic external defibrillator) 
and phones for pizza before realising that PM could swim all this time...*
