Ok so today I went to the local county fair and who was their? Johnny Depp doing PR work for the coast guard. Ok so Depp was not their but the Coast Guard was. Well with me building that boat this winter I got to talking to the guys and they told me about the Coast Guard Auxiliary. For about $30 I can goto eight two hour classes about Boating Skills and Seamanship class. Material will range from the basics to more advanced skills. Now this has got my attention. But on the way home I got to thinking was I getting a little to into this??

I laughed so hard over this that it hurt! Someone on You Tube posted this. It's footage from Star Wars, but instead of the regular Vader dialogue it's James Earl Jones's dialogue from other movies he did. Oh, geez, just so damn funny, be ready to laugh hard! This one also kills me too-LOL!

A friend had posted this pic on myspace and I just went whoa! I'm trying to find out if he really got those princesses all together to pose like that or did he have fun with photoshop. It looks like the real deal tho, yikes! Makes me want to go throw on my Alice in Wonderland costume and join in-LOL!

Musing on the stages one goes through in a forum, especially this forum and probably not representative of everyone, but I would dare say a good majority. Post counts may be statistically skewed by long- and short-timers (ie - the "MerryDeath" 's and "Capt. Wal-Mart's Cheaper Brother" 's ), but see if you agree with the basics. _____________________________________________________________ 0-10 posts: -Subject discovers Pub through a banner ad or annoying Flash-generated "Click Me" box on another site; enters Pyracy.com portal; clicks on "Forum". -Browses posts; senses this is something new and exciting; registers for free, after taking 45 minutes coming up with a ni…

Didn't know where to post this - and it's not like I post much anymore - but I figured I give everyone a heads up anyways. Build Crew for the Halloween Haunt started about a month ago, I was hired on as a scenic painter so I'll be working nights from now till the end of October. In other words, I'll see ya all again in November. Til then

'lo Mates, I had the excellent fortune to attend a wedding this weekend and was introduced to a fantastic Tequila called " Pinka Azule" . It was a bit pricey "$11.00 a shot" but it was the smoothest tequila I've ever had. But I'm gonna stick with my favorite, Capt. Morgans "Tattoo" Hows 'bout you?

I'm sure some of you have heard about the new production that opened recently in Vegas. It's a shorter version, but still has all the songs and it's a lot more lavish than the regular stage show. It looks really awesome! I'd love to someday check it out......after I win the lottery-lol! Anyway, here's some You Tube clips on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnMDcmKmoE4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu5uf_0fPf0 This is just a funny Phantom spoof from Family Guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za_jNkebn8Q

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OBI...EMPLATE=DEFAULT I had found this article and did a double take, hoping it was wrong. It's just so sad and so unfair! He was a funny actor, I saw quite a lot of his movies and enjoyed them all. Thank you Bruno for the laughs, you will be missed, gone too soon. "You made a woman meow?" from When Harry Met Sally

Well I have an interesting little Senegal parrot, Gilligan. He's quite a talker - when he thinks no one is in the room. He knows lots of pirate sayings such as, 'Ahoy Matey, Shiver me timbers, Pieces of eight, pirate, land-ho, abandon ship and many others I can't remember off hand, not to mention quite a vocabulary on other words (no cuss words- tried to be careful of that), but I've been working hard to teach him a new one 'taste like chicken'. For the longest time the bird just refused to say it. I guess maybe he thought he was the chicken. Now he does and you can hear 'Tastes like Chicken!' quite a lot. It's absolutely hysterical especially when he changes it to "Pi…

Okay, well, tomorrow I leave for a month at my cottage. Today, I'm doing laundry and cleaning the house (or at least contemplating it), so that everything will be ship-shape and Bristol fashion when I eventually return. Tonight, I'm doing some last-minute shopping (including a stop at the liquor store). And then, I just need to pack. But, I'm feeling a bit scattered and I'm afraid I might forget to bring something important. So, I'm asking for the Pub's collective advice: What essentials does a young(ish) Ship's [shanty] Mistress need to bring with her for a month-long sojourn on the shores of a northern lake? [Don't be afraid to get creative with your suggestions.…

Bill Wangemann column: The Great Lakes: A notorious graveyard Storms on these inland seas can seemingly pop up out of nowhere —summer storms with gale force winds, driving rain and hail are not uncommon and have sent many a stout ship and her brave crew to a watery grave. However, the storms of autumn and winter are the worst on the Great Lakes. Ships can be assaulted by near hurricane-force winds, driving snow and sleet that can cause near whiteout conditions. The most treacherous month to sail the Great Lakes is the month of November; during this month more ships have been lost than any other. Even modern, powerful steel ships have been lost during the gales of …

Every so often I will change the first and last words, but until I do you have to make a new sentence with the same first and last words. You can reverse the order of the first and last words so long as you have the same words at either the start or end of your sentence. Jelly fish and crustacians were all that I found scattered on the hot sand.

I was watching the very dreamy and very well fit Tyrone Powers In the Mask of Zoro Twice in the flim (in the begining and at the very end) he tossed his sword up and stuck into ceiling. He did this again in the Black Swan When he "Bunked with" Maureen O'Hare. So what is the deal with this trick, I mean was he showing off one day and some one said that's neat, we need to get that on flim.

Kyle MacDonald posted the red clip on the barter section of Craig's List and was offered a fish-shaped pen. Kyle traded that for a ceramic doorknob, which he swapped for a camping stove. Then came a generator, which he exchanged for a beer keg and Budweiser sign. The 26-year-old bartered them for a snowmobile which led to a holiday, a truck and a record deal. A wannabe singer took the contract, offering in exchange a year's rent in a flat in Phoenix, Arizona. Kyle swapped that for an afternoon with rocker Alice Cooper which was traded for a Kiss snow globe. Incredibly, LA Law star Corbin Bernsen, a collector, traded a film role for the item. Locals in Kipling, Saskat…
