[Groop] The Groo Alphabet

[Tone]

Kaytee AND Mark,
            Oooh! I really like Kaytee's idea as the letter X for the
alphabetical character listing, or should I say ideas? The image of Groo
holding his crossed swords is of course nice, but you also brought up
the idea of a pirate flag with its crossed bones. What if you combine
the two? I think I have even sometimes seen the skull and bones symbol
with swords substituted for the bones. In fact I think that IS actually
the pirate symbol anyway, where as the skull & bones symbol is just the
universal trademark for death.
            Anyway, if Kaytee does not mind, how about taking both of
them combined one step further? Can you tell I am excited? I like being
clever! :-)
            OK, let me get on with it already. The character letter in
question would be of course "X" and the image would be a ghostly skull
floating in the dark night sky with Groo's swords crossed right beneath
it shining in the moon light. This would of course form the symbol for.
<drum roll please> .Pirates!
            Then the pirates could be all heaped in a pile of dead
bodies beneath Groo. Perhaps Groo could even be standing on them, and
the apparitional skull would be one of their souls floating from his
respective corpse. What is even better about this idea is no one would
mind not having a character name associated with X with that imagery
because as we all know, the caption or poem wording would read. <another
drum roll please, oh god, I do hope you stopped already from before.>
."Pirates! What Pirates?"
            We never did get any of the names of the pirates in that
long running Pirate gag. Maybe they had been killed by Groo long ago and
Pal (or is it Drumm? I think I have used too much of my mental abilities
through all of this alphabetical problem solving) has known that all
along somehow.
:-)
            Am I crafty or what? Isn't brain storming great?
