Ahoy mateys! Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day and so at the risk of getting keelhauled for this, I decided to have some fun with it and build the PirateOnChestOverlayer transformer (available in the Hub).

Obviously inspired by the pirate song from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island :)

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

 

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

There's of course Piratespeak log messages, thanks to heavy use of the MessageLogger custom transformer:

And the nice thing is that if there's not enough pirates (we need fifteen, according to the song...) it will send out a press gang to round up some more (now if only it could invade other running workspaces and kidnap features from there...). However... if there's too many (we can only put fifteen men on a dead man's chest...) the extras will unfortunately have to walk the plank...

Have fun!

I'm sure this is exactly the application you had in mind when you built it ;)

Hilarious! :-D Upvoted for creativity.

An alternative solution: splitting the YOHOHO port into two ports, YO (with 1 feature) and HO (with two features), you just have to make sure that the YO feature exits first ;-)

Aye, my son has just started coding a bit, and I recently showed him this, he thought it was hilarious and made a landcrab gif "talking" with these words, having a good laugh :)

Shiver me timbers, I know pirates aren't really the sharing kind, but... can you?
