Yarrrrrr
My birthday is right around the corner (which shouldn’t be news to anyone!!!) and for that @hand gave me a gift certificate to Alamo Drafthouse. Denicia and I decided to use it tonight and go see Pirates of the Caribbean with Alise and Bowers. I’ve seen the first one and I liked it. I don’t remember what exactly it was that I liked about it, just that I did. There was also a lot of hype about the second one so I was excited to see it. This series has some sort of cult following similar to Star Wars because there was a big group of goth looking people dressed as pirates. A funny sight. Anyways, I give the movie an overall grade of B, above average, but not excellent. It was action packed with funny one liners strewn all over the place. But as Bowers said to me afterwards, they could have taken a 1/3rd of the movie out and still gotten the story across. It was really just too long. Don’t see it in theaters, wait until it comes out on DVD.
Like I said, my birthday is almost here, you better not forget! I leave you with an old pirate joke:
quote:
After many years at sea, a pirate decided to retire. Since he had suffered injuries on the job, he thought tha t he should collect on his worker’s compensation insurance. He had a wooden leg, a hook where his right hand should be and a patch over his right eye.The agent assured him that he would be compensated if the injuries were work related. “How did you get the wooden leg?” asked the agent.
In a booming voice the pirate replied, “Me and me mates were on the high seas when the boom swang ‘round and knocked me into the sea where a shark bit off me leg.”
The agent replied, “That is certainly work related. How did you lose your hand?”
“Well, me and me mates were on the high seas when the boom swang ‘round and knocked me into the sea where a shark bit off me hand,” said the pirate.
“That’s also work related. Now how did you lose your eye?” asked the agent.
The pirate replied, “Well matey, I was laying on the deck one balmy day catching some rays when this seagull flew by and dropped his duty right in me eye!”
“What does that have to do with the loss of your eye?” said the agent.
“Well, y’see,” he replied, “It were the first day with me hook!”
