Run Aground

Poor Silver.

Irrelevant in today’s world. Riding stormy seas is so 18th century.

Put out to pasture.

New status?  Landlubber.  Fish out of water. 

The ancient pirate finds solace at the car wash.

  2. I guess the car wash is as close to water as he can get. Unless he wants to work on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Cool use of the idioms.

  5. Made me laugh out loud. I've felt like Silver myself some days. Next time, I'm headed to the car wash. If it can work for him, who knows what it can do for me!
