Avast! 'Tis International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!
Ahoy me buxom beauties, land lubbers and bilge rats. Today we wear the patches and hooks, peglegs and parrots. And we sing!!
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red
And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
Looking up at paradise
All souls bound just contrawise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men of 'em good and true - '
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
With a ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
And they lay there that took the plum
With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
More was seen through a sternlight screen...
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid
That dared the knife and took the blade
By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight
With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight
And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,
With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Friday Five!

Ash from Army of Darkness:
Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You *got* that?
Why? Well the best lines are always from "B" flims.
2. Who's your favorite villain from a movie, and why?
Slimer from Ghostbusters because it was one of my first favorite movies and a great villain at that.

Monday Mayhem...A Day Late
I know I missed poating yesterday but I have a good reason. I spent the night over at Bryan's watching the football games, and during the day I was golfing and steam cleaning the carpets. Here it goes:
As we all know, because it was plastered everywhere you looked, yesterday was 9/11. A day which in my opinion has been blown out of proportion. Yes it is sad that a few thousand people died in the attacks five years ago. But thats where it needs to end. You can have some reflection with you loved ones if you feel the need, or thank a emergency serviceman if you wish. But having everyone stop to think back to where they were when it happened, or about how evil terrorists are still lurking, etc needs to end. You don't see us stopping to considers the millions of people who died in the Congo, or tens of thousands of people the americans of killed since the attacks, including some of our own soldiers who are over there cleaning up the mess. So here is my story that reflects this
Moby to Bush: 'Stay Out of New York'
Here is another story if you want something a little more stupid funny:2 Injured -- 1 Critically -- In Golf Cart Crash

I'm Home!!!
Well I am finally back home and more or less settled in. My summer was unbelievable and I would go into detail if I had more time, so I think I will leave that for possibly the first post on my proper site once I get it up and running this week. As for life as it starts again here at home my plans are as follows, sort my crap out, start working, make time to see people, and meet new people. So with that being said I must be off to sort through my piles of camp crap.
I will be continuing on with my themed posts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday as well.
