Top Ten Pickup lines for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day
(We came up with these in an effort to interest The Other Dave (Letterman) in TLAPD. His staff liked 'em, but alas, his show was"dark" the week of Sept. 19.)

10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?

9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?

8. Come on up and see me urchins.

7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.

6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?

4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?

3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.

2. Well blow me down?

And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …

1. Prepare to be boarded.

Bonus pickup lines (when the ones above don't work, as they often won't)
They don’t call me Long John because my head is so big.

You’re drinking a Salty Dog? How’d you like to try the real thing?

Wanna shiver me timbers?

I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.

Brwaack! Polly want a cracker? … Oh, wait. That’s for Talk Like a PARROT Day.

That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Let's get together and haul some keel.

That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there.

Top Ten Pickup Lines for the Lady Pirates

By popular demand ...

10. What are YOU doing here?

9. Is that a belayin' pin in yer britches, or are ye ... (this one is never completed)

8. Come show me how ye bury yer treasure, lad!

7. So, tell me, why do they call ye, "Cap'n Feathersword?"

6. That's quite a cutlass ye got thar, what ye need is a good scabbard!

5. Aye, I guarantee ye, I've had a twenty percent decrease in me "lice ratio!"

4. I've crushed seventeen men's skulls between me thighs!

3. C'mon, lad, shiver me timbers!

2. RAMMING SPEED!

...and the number one Female Pirate Pick-up Line:

1. You. Pants Off. Now!


Hope this is okay to post, after the "behind shaking" post by Aisling I thought I would take my chances.

Artie: Are the open to use, I'm still using "Aah, so aah, what's your sign"?

 

[Aisling]

What're you wearin tomorrow?

Black/white capris and a white peasant top, white wedge sandals, and a pretty necklace. Nothing fancy. I'm bringing a plain white cardigan in case I get cold in the studio.

Even jeans would be ok with a nice top.

Hello Matey's......

Latest Regarding my brother:

I drove home from Walter Reed this past Saturday. I had been away from the kids and Shannon for over two weeks and I needed to get back home for awhile. Shannon, the kids and myself will be going back up to visit/help Chas on October 14th-19th. There is an organization called Miles for Heroes that will be flying us to and from. Additionally I am still on Travel Orders from the government as long as Chas is an inpatient so they will continue to put me up at the hotel, etc. when I go back.

Chas is doing much better physically. Everyday/week he is getting more and more "pulled out" - Stitches, catheter, drainage tubes, IV's, etc. As many of you know the less you are hooked up to the better. He has started PT 2-3 times daily and they are working on his upper body and left leg strength since he has lost quite a bit. All of his swelling has gone down since he is up and around. His lungs are doing great and they appear to have made a full recovery (although he still has some minor breathing treatments). The burns on his face and hands have healed up quite well and are just barely noticeable. His left leg sustained shrapnel damage and phosphorus burns so they had quite a few stitches - those are healing quite well - although he will have some scars left after they heal. He had some small shrapnel/particles on his torso but they removed any of those while still in Iraq and he has healed from those.

He is doing ok emotionally/mentally. Some days are good and some are not. Slowly, but eventually he will have more good days then bad days. I told him everyday it will get just a little bit better. Being in Ward 57 Chas will see that he is by far not the most seriously injured. The people and their stories of survival is absolutely amazing to me. People with neither leg and damages to either or both arms have some of the best attitudes I've ever seen on any healthy person. I know these kids have been through hell and yet they can still smile is amazing in itself.

While its very early he does want to stay in the military. This is possible as the Army, over the course of recent years, has allowed folks with his type of injuries to stay in - but we are still a good year away from really knowing the direction he will want to take. The military gives him quite awhile to recuperate and get back to where he was as much as possible. The PT area there at Walter Reed is amazing. They have some of the latest and greatest technology (rightfully so) and to watch folks with all types of injuries able to complete many exercises that folks with all of their limbs cannot complete is a great inspiration. We have been told time and time again that not only will he be able to walk but he will be able to run. It won't be easy as he has to relearn many things that come to someone with two working legs naturally but he has a good drive. He has a personal goal of standing/walking in a prosthetic by his 24th birthday this November 16th.

Wanted to seperate the update from cruise item discussions.

Sorry but I haven't had a chance to go back through the past few weeks postings so if I missed something big please smack me upside the head with it...

I'm trying to get back into the rythm as I was having a hard time coming back this weekend. But once I caught up on sleep I have been doing much better. Got back into the gym yesterday and that helped alot. Can only go up from here...

I'm sure there are changes needed for the website. To save my sanity and make sure I don't miss anything if you have changes email me at anjelshannon@prodigy.net and I will try and tackle those this week/weekend.

Also - I did end up booking my Palo brunch for December 29th but by the time I booked it they didn't have 1000 time just 1030 so I booked it for that time. Disneykelly73 - not sure if the 1030 will work to where we can all get into the same room.

In any event - I hope everyone else is doing well. Just a few more months and we can all relax...

Anjelica, thanks for such a full update and I will be prayerful for his recovery and goal. We have all been thinking of you.

[Aisling]

Anjelica, I'm so glad you updated us. Chas sounds like an optimistic, brave, amazing young man. And I can see that you're a very loving sister. It truly brings tears to my eyes.


Well kids, Tig and I had a really fun day together. The Regis & Kelly show was good, but having a chance to see, touch, and talk to David Blaine was awesome. I almost cried, it was so clear that he was suffering. Yes, I've called him a nut, but today I think I understand what he's been doing all along. Thank you Tig for your patience with us spending so much time over there with him.
I was going to go back there tonight, but I have home responsibilities. And tomorrow it'll be packed with people when he comes down, so I'll just watch it on live tv.

I didn't make it to the gym today, but will go tomorrow.

Anyone else getting excited about Saturday night excursion booking, or are you all early bookers?
