Slippery Shanty - The Red Eye
You're invited down into the semi-secret underground bar located beneath the Supper Shack. An establishment full of local lore and adult beverages. The nominal proprietor is Captain Delmar Silverfish, but his current catatonic state prevents you from really getting to know the good captain, just yet. Something sinister could be involved, and it's up to Tomas Anonymous to sort it out with some help from Omar Evanston and Chip Woode.

Royal Blue Vinegaroons
I'll tell you of a pirate crew
Who famously were all insane
Their sailing ship was made of anchors
They had a most peculiar name
Royal Blue Vinegaroons
The first mate was a trained baboon
They ate doubloons and drank spittoons
Royal Blue Vinegaroons
Them scalawags had hooks for hands
And some had wooden pegs for legs
Their captain had the worst prosthetic
He used a starfish for his head
Royal Blue Vinegaroons
A goofy crew of true buffoons
Their weapons were balloons and spoons
Royal Blue Vinegaroons
Royal Blue Vinegaroons
If they return it won't be soon
They got marooned upon the moon
Royal Blue Vinegarooooons!
