Chicken in a Basket and Quiz time

We've finally left Port Vila after waiting for the weather to settle. We are presently anchored of Lelepa Island on the northwest side of Efate in Havannah Bay. Tomorrow morning we will head to Cook's reef. For a bit of much needed snorkeling.
We are going to miss Port Vila--its a wonderful, bustling little town. We thoroughly enjoyed the people, the restaurants, and the company of our friends on Maaliwalas, Solstice and Three Little Birds. One great thing about Port Vila was the ability to get a good Steak!! They have top quality beef here, and it is surprisingly hard to get a good steak anywhere else in the south pacific.
The picture is of a chicken in a basket at the local market. Yes it is a live, and yes it is sort of getting out... There were several to choose from for those looking for some fresh chicken, fresh as it gets.
Now, see if you can figure out a few bislama words/phrases. Bislama is a pidgin english, and it is very phonetic. A very similar language is also spoken in the solomon islands.

Here are a few extra ones that are just funny:
