I love it to Bess..and as it is coming from another Admin I figured I could put my own 2 cents in there...Sometimes one has to be careful with what one says, to who it is said to, and what it might entail...I am slowly learning this lesson, a sad one it is too.

It always makes me growl when I try to pull the foil seal off of a bottle or something, only to have the pull-tab tear off in my fingers while the seal stays firmly in place.
Agreed! Or when you open a can soup and they all have that nifty ring top now and you have the can a quarter of the way open and the tab breaks....

August 7-16, 2009: Bill Johnston’s Pirates Days *link is no good*
Alexandria Bay, NEW YORK
Welcome to Alexandria Bay, in the beautiful Thousand Islands, New York. Alexandria Bay is home of Boldt Castle, situated on Heart Island, and the proud home of the Famous “Bill Johnston’s Pirate Days.” The following is a list of our 10 days filled with family fun and special events. The sword-fighting group, known as the “Tales from Remikreh,” will be performing throughout the Village streets and at various Route 12 locations. Life size chessboard.
Bill Johnston was a renegade after the patriots war, who blew up the British steamer, Sir Robert Peel, hid among the 1000 Islands, and was hunted by both U.S. and Canadian authorities. The annual Bill Johnston's Pirates Days celebration commemorates some of his exploits. Fill your senses with the sound and spectacle when pirate ships attack the village from the St. Lawrence River, as the brave villagers try to stave them off. The air is filled with smoke and the sound of musket fire and cannon, and eventually the villagers succumb as the pirates invade the town. After the mayor turns over the key to the village to the invading marauders, everyone becomes a pirate.
You are invited to join in the spirit of Pirate Days and dress as a Pirate, Patriot, or Indian when attending any or all of these events. All times are subject to change. Please check the Event Board at the Entertainment Tent or at the Chamber Office at (315) 482-9531. A band of Sword Fighting Pirates will be available during all 10 days at most events listed for photo opportunities. The Tales from Remikreh group will be throughout the Village so BEWARE! Most events are free and for the enjoyment of the public. Call the Chamber office for details at 800-541-2110.

August 23rd, 2009: Walking the Plank World Championships,
Queenborough Quay, Isle of Sheppey, Kent, UNITED KINGDOM.
"Be ye brave enough to join the renowned ranks of The Plankers?" The fearsome Captain Cutlass and the scurvy crew of The Salty Sea Pig are once again searching for 'volunteers' to take part in the Isle of Sheppey's Walking The Plank World Championships. This fund-raising has become a major attraction as a motley collection of 'plankers' (contestants) take turns to be pushed off a wooden plank by the scurvy crew known as the Sheppey Pirates. They are judged on Costume, Command of Piratical Speak, Height of Jump, Scream as they are plummeting towards the water, and the size of the after splash. The challenge has been set for August 23rd for the World Walking the Plank champion the Mad Dane to have his title snatched from him. For more details contact purser@sheppeypirates.org
