Avast, ye lubbers! Talk Like a Pirate Day has swung ’round again, and here I still be, bloggin’ on and on.
Arrrr, and first I must boast, in me finest piratical style, of the booty that fell into me lap this morning.
(I know what ye be thinkin’! Shut yer maw, or I’ll have ye keelhauled.)
Nay, the booty I speak of is neither woman nor man, nor silver nor gold, nor yet rubies nor riches from Davy Jones’ Locker, but rather, a commendation from the sparklin’ new Carnival of Divided Government! A scurvy, slime-covered link appeared on me Stats page this mornin’, alertin’ me to the fine event. Yarrr.
In a more piratical vein, the Crafty Minx (a most scurrilous name, yarrr) has raised the Pirate Crafting flag high over her decks, where it flutters darkly in the salt air.
Begad, and now I have to do battle with Her Majesty’s Own Secretary of State, that bilge-sucking, scurvy beast. I’m after me Letters of Marque, which I’ll use to plunder and loot to me heart’s content!* Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
*Or not. Yarr.

Did you see Mad Sally on Wife Swap last nite?! Of course not – you don’t watch t.v.! Duh! I saw the first few minutes, and that pretty much covered it. Kinda like you swapping with Martha.

When I got my Master’s I had a party and there was a bulletin board full of pictures of me on display– and there were not one, but TWO of me dressed up as a pirate. Beat that.

Posting from University of Bristol, here. Yarr. We talked like pirates all day yesterday – or was it the day before? Hard to keep track when traveling. You should hear Yarr spoken by a Norwegian. Anyway, very appropriate to the location. Also went on board museum ship, SS Brittania.

The off-white scarve is positively gorgeous! The boss’s wife is very lucky!

Wow. I can’t believe how different that pattern looks when it’s not knit with lace weight.
Looks warm and cozy.
