I love A Series of Unfortunate Events! It’s pretty cool to know that other people read them besides my family.

that’s funny, winston! it sounds like something we say in my family - “i see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.”

i’d like to hear the tune!

o, btw, “The expression “Shiver me timbers!” comes from the society of pirates, who enjoy using interesting expressions almost as much as jumping aboard other peoples ships and stealing their valubles. It is an expression of extreme amazement, used in circumstances when one feels as if one’s very bones, or timbers are shivering.”
as defined by Lemony Snicket in A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book the Eleventh, The Grim Grotto

“…fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum…”

a good old pirate song doesn’t hurt every once in a while.

or maybe the song of doctor Ironbeard would be better…

Oh, I am doctor Ironbeard
Twillie-willie-wit boom boom
I’ll cure your ills with healing art
Twillie-willie-wit boom boom

I can make the dumb to walk
Twillie-willie-wit boom boom boom boom
The lame to see, the blind to talk
Twillie-willie-wit boom boom

Sing torriay, sing torriay, sing torriay
Boom boom boom boom
Sing torriay, sing torriay
Twillie-willie-wit boom boom

my mom taught it to us kids when we were little. It’s a nice song. Maybe I’ll do a vocal presentation sometime…(jk)

Well this isn’t about a pirate name but…from what I know of pirates (which isn’t much) “Shiver me timbers” is kind of something you say when you’re surpised, like “Oh my goodness!”
