The Land Shark's On-Line Naming Party!


Recommended Posts

Ahoy pirates!!

Over the last several months you've watched our homely little turquoise blue boat from Ebay, make the transformation into "The Land Shark", our pirate ship parade float.

Nautical tradition dictates that whenever a boat is renamed, that there should be a prayer asking for safety, a bottle of fine spirits broken or poured over the bow, prayers offered in each direction of the four winds and that the ship's renaming be celebrated once the ship is ready to be launched, in the company of good friends to wish her well.

Due to our remote mountain location, and my desire to have the Land Shark officially named and properly protected before venturing down our rather treacherous mountain road, the Pyracy Pub seems the perfect place to hold a celebration for a pirate ship!

So if you will- please let me pour everyone a bit o' rum and we'll get started!

Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.

Although the Land Shark be sailing all her life long on seas of asphalt and concrete... those of us here, will always be know'n that there are the salted mists and fearsome blessings of all Seven of the wonderous seas, flowing like protective spirits, unseen beneath her keel.

May Manannan fill your sails and see you safe on every voyage.

To the Land Shark and her crews... Forever may they be,

Anam Cara! :D

Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

:rolleyes: Moving from pirate to pirate, clankin' everyone's tankard with her own....

Many thanks for the well wishes all o' ye! I wish there were a magical ship I could put ye' on that would transport ye' all to CA for the parade! Although, with the current rainy conditions, ye' might just keel-haul me iffn I did that!! :rolleyes:

Ben, the parade kicks of this sunday morning at 8:30 am. Our line-up time is 6:30am *yawn* , with the floats being inspected by the judges from 7am to 8am. And if ye' can find it by satellite pr'haps, the TV broadcast is on KNTV 11 at 9:00am PST. But we'll have plenty of photos and after the parade, some video clips and the videos of the telecast go up for sale on the website following the parade. So even if I can't get all o' ye on the Land Shark, we'll share the whole event with everyone here, and I know you'll all be there in spirit as she sails through the city! :)

Ahoy mates!! Just back from the parade! All went well and according to the email I have from Cracked Carrie, we got good TV coverage this time! Saber and my son are at this moment undertaking the delicate operation of backing the Land Shark in (I can't bare to watch :ph34r: )

The only mishap was last night, during the set up. Lucky Penny and I were setting up the mast and as I was tightening down the yardarm it slipped out of the connecting piece and WHACK!! it smacked poor Penny right square in the face! Poor sweetie had a terrible bloody nose and enough bruising to where we weren't sure if it was broken at first.

The Land Shark was thereby christened in blood and Lucky Penny earned the highly sought-after title of MVP, for having sustained a grievous injury and didn't shed a single tear. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR whata fine pirate!

Photos of everything, including one of Penny's nose, to follow!!
