...Annual Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Arrrrgh!


According to the TLAPD website, a commonly used pickup line in "pirate
bars" is "prepare to be boarded!" It's been a long, long time since I
was single, but it's hard to imagine such an approach resulting in a
lot of "booty".

The whole concept is silly as heck, and historically inaccurate to
boot.
Oh well, some folks will have a lot of fun with it so......happy "Talk
like Hollywood script writers think pirates talked day" :-)


Chuck,
When I was in college, I found if you prefixed any attempt to board with
booze and/or drugs, "prepare to be boarded" worked as well as any
line. Since this was the wild and wooly 70's, I had to be careful that
the hussies didn't ply me with booze and/or drugs before attempting to
board me.
