After a lengthy period cruising the Great Barrier Reef seeking ships carrying barrels of ready mixed Margaritas to raid , Larry the cussing Lorikeet and freelance pirate has come ashore at Magnetic Island and is once more receiving R and R at the residence of the Queen of the Jungle .
To show his appreciation for looking after his assorted teddy bears while he was away on the bounding main , he presented the Queen with the above bottle of his own Captain Larry special rum , soon to be released on the unsuspecting, thirsty Queensland market , and a painted coconut portrait of himself leading the life of Captain Jack Sparrow and Jimmy Buffett .
Both the rum label, showing him in a pirate pose, and portrait were painted by artist Jenn Payne, dubbed Australia's Number One Parrot Head by Buffett , who is taught the finer points of sailing and navigation by Captain Larry aboard the 43ft catamaran Nyeki in hostile waters, dodging Customs and Border Security vessels . Since his arrival back on the island, he has received numerous offers to endorse products, including low-cal mayonnaise, and leading pirate roles in Hollywood and Bollywood movies.
Bollywood is out because of an injury he suffered in Cyclone Larry which makes him walk like Caribbean pirate Captain Morgan with a touch of gout and would limit his involvement in all those energetic Indian dance routines. Captain Larry rum is expected to scuttle Captain Morgan's spiced rum which contains vanilla , cinnamon and cardamom .
Captain Larry refuses to reveal the ingredients in his potent drop ; he does, however, like yoghurt with a splash of coffee and a side serving of Vita Brits . He also finds German toffee tasty and , with an eye for a well turned ankle, whistles madly every time he sees Chancellor Angela Merkel on television.
