Its not a boat , its a ship.

nautical term.

Aww, you are making me blush. Actually, though, quick wit is about the only thing my mind is quick at.

And I hope no one minded or was offended when I said I was jealous of your vacations. I am just having serious WDW withdrawal. It's been two years already and will be at least three and maybe four. And we used to go twice a year.

I completely understand! We don't get to go as often as we would like and probably won't go again until 2009 or 2010.

I checked mine - still GTY.

I was hoping for you.

well now today there's another offer, buy a bunch of pants and get 2 free rooms somewhere....that throws a new wrinkle (so to speak) in it....but the first $125 worth at JCPenney and get the plane ticket, then buy another $125 worth at Kohls and get a place to stay after using said ticket http://www.dockershotelbreak.com/

For real???? I got gift cards for Kohls.

It was a Match Your Mate contest that not only the people on the cruise will remember forever , but also the cruise staff there that night ....Trust me

LET YOUR FREAK FLAG FLY!!!!!!!

 

[yargrnhoj]

Biggest loser contest!!! Just kidding or you and DH will just antagonise me.

Ok, I am beginning not to like you either*.

I'd ask your DH to tell you off, but, as before, we've established you don't listen to him.


[*] this is a running joke in our house my wife uses on our DS10 when he makes a smart-add comment about something she said or did. I don't know where he gets that from....

 

[Diznyfan68]

LET YOUR FREAK FLAG FLY!!!!!!!

SALUD!

I thought all the pirates here would find this Slate article interesting.

Did Pirates Really Say "Arrrr"?
No. And nobody ever walked the plank, either.

Johnny Depp took home the best performance award at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, for his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. (The third installment of the series topped the weekend box-office tallies again this past weekend, pulling in $43.2 million.) Depp's character famously speaks in a dissolute London mumble inspired by Keith Richards. But virtually all his crewmen hew to the classic movie-pirate patois, full of growled consonants and shiver-me-timbers slang. Wait, did pirates really say "arrrrr"?

Probably not. Both that phrase and the accent that goes with it are strictly Hollywood. They originated with Robert Newton, the actor who played Long John Silver in the movies and on TV through much of the 1950s. Newton was from Dorset, in the Cotswolds district of southwest England, and the regional accent he brought to the movies included a rolled "r." Though Dorset may well have produced its share of sailors, they were hardly the only pirates out there; most seamen—and especially the outlaws on pirate vessels—were people who struck out from oppressed nations, like Scotland and Ireland, to start over on the high seas.

So, was there a typical pirate accent at all? Among British outlaws, yes: The onboard speech was most likely underclass British sailor with extra curse words, augmented with a polyglot slang of French, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch picked up around the trade routes. "Arrrrr" is strictly fiction, as are a number of the other affiliated signifiers: Nobody ever walked the plank, and nobody has ever discovered an actual pirate treasure map. On the myth-confirming side, pirates were known to dress in loose clothing, guzzle rum and smash the empty bottles, and chase busty wenches through Caribbean ports.

Esteri please do not let this deter you from your daily pirate joke! They are too fun!!

I think the portion regarding wearing loose clothing, guzzling rum and chasing busty wenches could be very appropriate for our TOAL! (The bottle smashing maybe not so much though!)

 

[micmse2003]

Hurry up. I want to watch Deadliest Catch.

 

[tom31b]

Arrrrrrrre we on a run?

 

[micmse2003]

[O'BWV]

[micmse2003]

If not, why am I wasting my time!!!!!

 

[tom31b]

The point that I am right and you are wrong or the point that you are trying to be a cheat and a scalliwag?

Oh wait, I forgot.

Pirate.

Arrrrgh!

 

[O'BWV]

[micmse2003]

Well, I guess whenever I got wherever I was going, I'd have plenty of pants to wear.
