    Cookies for Depot! This is the first time in four years I'll actually be aware of it before the day is already half over. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Hehehe, thanks.

    I've never been in a situation where it was appropriate to talk like a pirate all day.

    however, seeing how this is clearly an international celebration, I suppose I should consent to adjusting my syntax to include copious "aaaaaaarrr"s

    Just remember to bump this the day before lest I forget, like I probably will.

    Me be dyslexic pirate.... arrr. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    (to my defense, its difficult enough to form English sentences that makes sense, talking like a pirate on top of that needs some practice. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />)

    It was a mini project, what's wrong with playing around in photoshop?

    You might think it's a waste of time but I find it enjoyable and relaxing. I just did them while listening to the friday updates.

    So, no, you can't have my time. You'd probably waste it anyway.

    Yeah, what with Seafair and all, Seattle gets a ton of pirate stuff compared to your average city.

    Does Seattle have a Blessing of the Fleet, where all of the commercial fishing boats etc. get blessed by the father so they have a successful upcoming season?

    Over here they parade down the riverfront in front of him and he says his "Hail Marys" or whateever it is Catholic priests say and sprinkles Holy Water on the ships as they pass. Supposed to bring them good fortune.

    I'm not sure you understand what "pirate" means. It does not, for example, mean priests sprinking "Holy Water" on ships. That's just about the antithesis of pirate.

  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    In fact, I think doing that might set the holy water on fire. Unholy fire. That would turn the holy water into rum. Which the pirate would drink.
