Arrgh, Matey! (9/19)

First, read the paragraph. The instructions come afterward.

The crudely painted skull and crossbones flag fluttered in the wind, snapping out the remaining seconds of my life. I stood at the edge of a sea-worn plank, my hands bound, my body thin and weak. Worse, I could already see a shark fin in the distance. It was a _______ situation, no doubt, one that my dirty, sea-going friends were quite familiar with. The _______ pirates yelled and cackled, laughing and jeering as one prodded me into the water...

Fill in the two blanks in the above paragraph with two words which meet the following requirements:

1) each word must contain each of the vowels exactly once (that is, A, E, I, O, and U).

2) both words must rhyme with one another.

Can you spell this man's doom?
