Me! I blame the 'big bang', global warming/rising temperatures and the full moon.
Your hat is to tight, silly pirate.
Oh no no no, NO! If you lived near me you'd know the big bang, er, bark was responsible for cataclysmic events, global warming and rising temperatures... and that these big bangs, uh, barks occur more frequently on the full moon.
Must admit, tho, me boots be a bit tight.
