Capt Grey

Speaking as a cowgirl, neither Bruce Willis nor Brad Pitt are real cowboys. An old Texas cowboy was my surrogate father and there was no better person on the face of this earth. As someone said earlier, it's the person who's wearing the clothes - not the clothes themselves. I actually think they have more in common: - they were always armed against danger - they made their money after much hardship and danger - they spent their money on women and drink - they had their own code and way of life that only other cowboys/pirates understood Oh, and there were plenty of cowboys that were rogues and criminals - who's to say that Billy The Kid and Captain Kidd weren't related?

Ahoy, matey! It be spelled El Cajon but I'm sure it all be black from the fire now so it matters little. Long as you and yer mates be as safe as ye can be from the flames. I been sayin' a prayer fer yer lost shipmate; sad times these be. This pirate can't thank ye and yer mates enough fer all yer hard and dangerous work. Savin' the historical town of Julian be a Herculean effort. If ye be havin' any free time on Sunday, send me a PM and I'll buy ye a drink (and some pizza); I'll be collectin' donations fer the fire victims at an event in Oceanside.

Hardy, har, har! I didn't git 'em at Mardi Gras and all I had to show were my dubloons. Bought me loot at a site called Oriental Trading Company; a bonny site fer pirate booty.

**checks rear-end** Why thank you....oh, you mean the treasure.

Ahoy maties! I finally gots some pictures o' me front yard with me ghost pirates and their ship. Here be "Dead" Pirate Roberts: And here be the treasure:

Arrrgh, RumbaRue. I be hopin' ye was goin' sos I could ask ye about the event. Me oldest cabin boy be havin' his 9th birthday party today, sos I wouldn't have made it anyway. But we hads a BIG inflatable slide fer the kids (of all ages!). It were a good way ter tire out them rascals. I'll be lookin' fer pictures from ye scurvey seadogs what attended.

Arrr Stynky, ye be a pirate after me own heart - resourceful and economical. I purchased a Cavelier hat from them thar Spirit stores ($12.99). It be having a piece o'velcro ter hold up one side. I be shiftin' the brim around and pullin' it up ter make a tricorn. A couple o'staples on each side and "viola" - pirate hat! An when I wants ter be Musketeer, then alls I has ter do is let the brim down again.

A toast ter yer birthday, matey.

I meant the coin, mate. And I always remembers which hands been plunderin' me "assets".

I just purchased a copy on e-Bay last night. $24.75 plus $2.60 shipping. The seller is from Kissamee so I assume they purchase them at the park and then re-sell them on e-Bay. You can also get the Haunted Mansion ride soundtrack. Here's a link to a current auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2197289390 If anyone wonders why I push e-Bay, it's because I'm a registered Trading Assistant and make a little money selling for other people. :)

Well Pirita, if ye don't think yer coin be worth as much with it made fer hangin' I be happy ter take if off yer hands. Me cleavage.....um, I mean chest.....be needed some decoration.

Funny: Young Frankenstein Silly: Spaced Invaders Edge of your seat: The Mummy with Brendan Frasier Edge of your seat (non-Halloween): The Rock Classic: The Mummy with Boris Karloff

Ye can never have enough jack o'lanterns, lad.

Hehehe. You sound like me, Claire. The only reason I had Barbies was so I had something to ride my Breyer horses. And if you still have those horses, they're worth quite a bit these days.

Avast me hearties! One o'me shipmates told me ter steer into this here cyberport fer some unique jack o'lantern designs - includin' Captain Jack Sparrow! Look fer yerself: http://pumpkins.goateestyle.com/movies.php I be makin' the Jolly Roger meself.

**throws back her head and howls** Oooooooooooooo! Happy Birthday, matey. Thirty-three be still young in my book.

It be me pleasure, matey. I be currently workin' on Jedi robes fer me "big and tall" friends. Darth Vader be 6-foot 8-inches and two o' me shipmates be XXXL sized. I be sorry I cain't get it ter ye by Halloween, but me sewin' machine be startin' ter smoke from all me projects.

Wimminfolk is supposed ter be small, dainty things. Thats why the merchants be makin' things so small. They not be thinkin' that a lass can have beefy calves like the men do. When I once went skiing I couldn't rent ski boots because none of them would fit my ankle/calve area. I had to buy a pair of men's boots just to try skiiing for one day (I returned them after the trip; 3 stitches in me eyebrow after takin' a tumble and hittin' me head with the ski pole; I'll stick ter the sea, thankee).

RumbaRue, I also be havin' a wide foot which is why these boots are great; they come in wide widths plus the extra room in the calf area fer us landlubber cowgirls (former occupation: all good cowgirls have big calves).

ARRRRGH! I be loosin' me rum! Me best shipmate be dyin' fast o'this mortal wound. **sniff**

Yer right, matey. We each has our own opinion and should be respectin' that. OH! What's that over there? **swoosh**thunk** Arrrgh. I missed.

To convert from women's sizes to men's, just be addin' two sizes (example: women's 11 fits men's 9).

Arrrrgh! Them be fightin' words, mate! That be me favorite after The Empire Strikes Back. Qui-Gon Jinn be the best Jedi ever!

A very happy birthday t'ye, lass.

Well mate, ye know what they says about big hand and big feet....
