Did you know that they “revised” the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disney parks so that it would be less sexist? The pirates used to chase wenches ’round and ’round. Now they chase wenches carrying platters of food. Much better.
actually, these tableau were changed again both in california and in orlando: the pirates are now chased by the women (who are attempting to hit the pirates over the head with brooms and rolling pins.) i suppose there are few now to complain about blatant pirate-bashing. remind me to tell about the time i got felt up (quite willingly and deliciously – – ooh chills!) on this ride…
Did you hear about the new pirate movie?
in the spirit of the day…
…10 really bad pirate pickup lines for Talk Like A Pirate Day –
10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?
8. Come on up and see me urchins.
7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.
6. I’d love to drop anchor in your lagoon.
5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?
4. How’d you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.
2. Well blow me down!
And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …
1. Prepare to be boarded.
It’s rated “Arrrrrrrrr !”
A pirate with a steering wheel coming out of his fly walks into a bar.
The bartender says “Hey, did you know you have a steering wheel coming out of your fly?”
The pirate replies {pirate accent}”Ay, it’s driving me nuts”
Do you have a regular schedule at ICP and might you have time for lunch?
I’m working in the same bldg on 6th avenue this week where I believe you teach 🙂
– me
Arr… LOL
That has to be the best ‘stupid’ joke I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you!
Avast, ye fergot “me hearty”, ye scallywag. Arrrr.
Yeah, the icon kills it.
Re: Arr… LOL

Re: Shiver me timbers!
I’m still traumatized by my youthful visit to PotC.
A few years ago i found a metal doubloon and a leather pirate bag among my childhood possessions. I wonder if they still have those.
Re: Shiver me timbers!
The PotC ride is my Daddy’s favorite. We always go on it.
Re: Shiver me timbers!
I like the Pinky and the Brain take-off on that very scenario.
“He’s only chasing me ’cause I have food! NARF!”

Gnomes may one day be the new bunny
I won’t ask you if you heard about the pirate movie… It’s a lame joke.
But as bunnies get so popular I thought I’d send this along:

Perhaps you’ve already seen it.
Or heard the aforementioned joke: punchline, “It’s rated ARRRRRGH”
Re: Gnomes may one day be the new bunny
Maybe I should read comments before posting eh?
