Well Alucard...I'm glad you asked.
I have 2 "solutions"
1. Giant SpongeBob

A second "solution" is to stop fighting the flood...embrace the flood. I say we all turn back into...PIRATES!!!
Here's a 10 step guide on how to become a Flood Pirate (the worst of the pirate kind!)
1. Fold a cardboard box into a ship like shape
2. Paint it black
3. Find an endangered tree and carve an oar out of it
4. Using Bleach, bleach out a skull and cross bones on a tea towel
5. Find more endangered trees and make masts out of them
6. Superglue masts to Cardboard ship..that way they'll hold in the flood conditions. NOTE: Normal glue isn't "super" enough to hold.
7. Dig a bloated body out of the flood waters or for even more fun...drown your own
8. skin the body
9. Also using Superglue attach body to front of ship
10 Whack on an eye patch, chuck on a bandana and superglue a parrot to your shoulder
Here's one i've made earlier for visual reference
Now that you have your ship its time to hit the high "seas", targetting those pesky rescue boats for plunder is a good idea and a great way to capture new wenches as they're pulled from the water.
So AHOY THERE me Hearties..I'm off to bury my treasure in yonder submarine house.

p.s. I do NOT condone the use of flood victims for any ship building processes..this is a national tragedy and I apologize if this has offended anyone (but you knew I would..so why'd you bloody read it?)
