[pirate]

I am a jolly pirate
And a credit to my breed
A stalwart brave example
Of Humiliality
I never tell a falsehood
Immune to knowing fear
That's why my shipmates call me
Honest Jack The Pirateer

I'm a strong & able swimmer
Tis through the waves I hove
If my clipper hits the doldrums
I just swim out and tow
With anchor rope between my teth
I yank them galleons clear
That's why my shipmates call me
Honest Jack The Pirateer

I've sported hooks and eye patches
Lost several sets of ears
A broadside shot my legs off
Still I fought on standing there
Good job for me my legs grew back
To dance another year
That's why my shipmates call me
Honest Jack The Pirateer

ARRRRRR!

"Good evenin' buckos. I be needin' t' thank you all for joinin' me in talk like a pirate day." [pirate] "A little lad be trick or treatin' on Halloween by himself. He be dressed as a pirate. At one house, a buckoly man asks him, "Where be your buccaneers?" T' little lad responds, "On either side o' me 'buccan' head!"" [pirate] "t' pirate walks into t' bar with a ships wheel attached t' t' fore o' his trousers. T' bartender asks, "What t' hell be that ships wheel for?" T' pirate says, "I don't know, but it's drivin' me nuts!""
[pirate] [roll] Ahoy Mates!

Good ones thar Wallery. [roll] [roll] [roll] [pirate]

Dang, I keep missing this pirate day thing.

A metal shaving fell into my eye at work earlier this summer, so I even have the eyepatch.
[pirate]
Never got a pic though.


"Interesting" experience btw. Finally managed to flush the tiny thing out the next morning (took some work too boy), but my eye was still badly irritated all day. Went to ER that night and learned it had left a rust ring on my cornea. Doc put in a few drops of anesthetic, and when I saw what was coming next I had my wife leave the room.

He proceeded to chip most of the rust out with a fine needle, then buffed out the rest with a small electric burr (think of a Dremel on your eyeball). Fun stuff. Fortunately the eye is still better than 20/20... good thing 'cuz it's my dominant one.

Wear eye protection people. It's easy to take vision for granted.
