What we need are examples. What you do teaches more than what you say.
This page is a collection of the wisdom of the Black Pearl Crew, and their counterexamples to the problematic teachings of the Comic Five.
Nothing is sometimes the best thing you can make. (Meaning, if you are out of ideas, give yourself a break.)
Why have an audience of two when you could have an audience of millions?
If you change father
to bother,
you might be a bother yourself. (Meaning, try not to be more unpleasant than necessary.)
Do things because you should, not because you can.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But make sure you have the right kind of fruit. (Meaning, only use the songs that work.)
We’re all getting missed when everybody’s blasting cannonballs.
(Meaning, if the Five were here, they would demand the supposedly heroic be perfect, but that would be unfair. It is natural that some attacks do not connect.)
None can say how he turned to tentacles.
(And you will notice they do not pretend they know.)
Don’t stop relieving.
(Meaning, we have better things to do than chase after unpleasant entities.)
I’ll hold for asking why. His forgetting is likely but it is worth a try.
(Meaning, the individual we wonder about may not remember what made him this way - but if we want to know what’s to blame, we can at least try, rather than just making assumptions.)
