...should have ended.

As anyone who has played Monkey Island 3 knows, about halfway through we are treated to one of the most epic sea-shanties ever. But it ends when Guybrush challenges the three others to find a rhyme for "orange".

Well, never fear! We here at the RIFTSWITH (Rath Institute For The Slightly Whacked In The Head) have found the solution. So here is how Monkey Island 3 should have ended:

Guybrush: We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange.

Haggis MacMutton: And if you float...

Cutthroat Bill: ...upon the sea...

Van Helgen: ...that statement won't be...

Haggis: ...foreign-je? Um, yeah! That'll work!

Guybrush: Oh, my gawd.

Haggis MacMutton: We're a pack of fruity singers!

Cutthroat Bill: We have dentistry advice!

Van Helgen: So eat your citrus fruit up--

Haggis: 'cause they're really very nice!

(Just then, the renowned pirate-slash-opera-singer Maria Cutlass arrives on her fast ship, complete with ornate chandelier.)

Maria Cutlass: Soprano I was meant to be!
Showing off, I'll sing high C!!!!!

(...and she does - holding her high C for so long that the chandelier shatters).

Guybrush: Well... that was silly.

Haggis: Sillier than a pirate barbershop quartet?

Guybrush: I guess not.

Haggis: C'mon, Guybrush - play along.

...and so on...

Lol

However, technically it's not Monkey Island 3. It is the third Monkey Island game but that's not the same.

Monkey Island is one of the many games, that one day, before my time is done on this Earth, that I hope to get around to playing...

I was about to drop my jaw on the floor and post my confusion and awe, but then I remembered that I still haven't played Grim Fandango through yet and everyone freaks out at me for it.

Seriously though, man. Play Monkey Island. It's hilarious. Not too complicated either. Put it higher on the list...

You should start a playthough so we can get a real pirate's thoughts on the series.

Hah! That's why I obsessed with Pillars of Eternity II. I won't spoil it - but let's just say there's plenty of pirates...!
