The Bilge Pumps returned to the Meadow Stage for the majority of their shows. Much to the chagrin of the nearby shop owners.

Squint & Squeegy go night-night during the slower first half of "The Mingalay Boat Song".

It's Muskogee, and that means our Pirate Queen, Megan is back with us. Here Maroon warns the audience of her oh-so-evil cuteness.

It was Squint & Squeegy's last appearance with the group, so Squint celebrated by going shirtless in the heat, probably to punish the rest of us.

Ah, but Squint was not through yet. He casts a voodoo spell on Squeegy until...

Presto! The torture of the band is complete as Squeegy's shirt goes flying off, too!

The Bilge Pumps can't help but get all weepy when singing about Charlie Mops in "Beer".

E traps some poor child and forces him to be a target... er... assistant for Kailyn's whip tricks.

Ah, the air conditioning show! The pirates move inside for their "special" performance before the knighting ceremonies, where our Mop gets down and dirty.

Galleon O'Galleon changes his look for Muskogee to go with all black, so we started calling him the "Dwead Piwate Wupert".

Maroon takes hold of the situation for Mop on "Roll the Old Chariot Along".

Yep, let's all point out the Cabin Boy's white butt. What we should be asking, though, is "What's up with Maroon's hat?"

Mop gets a crackingly rude surprise from Kailyn during "Mrs. McGrath".

That's a dangerous game of limbo them pirates like to play.

Maroon goes all kamikaze fighter pilot on Squeegy during "Sailor's Prayer".

It's serious music time as The Bilge Pumps indulge in the story of "Spanish Ladies (A Pirate's Tale)".

Mop escalates the usual water spitting in "Congo River" to a full-blown water fight!

Unfortunately for him, Galleon's poor little gun wasn't up to the task.

C'mon, you can't tell me you haven't wanted to shoot Maroon yourself!

Between shows, the bocci competition was always on between the Pumps and Tullamore. 'Course Mop was sweet on Sonya from Tullamore, so he always let her win. (Yeah, right)

Squint begs for the Megan the Pirate Queen to give him back his hat. Easy to tell who's in charge around here, eh?

The Bilge Pumps indulge in a moment where we all are playing instruments on "Haul, Boys, Haul", except for the singers who are busy... uh... singing... we think.
