Yarrrrrghhh

I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean last night with some friends, and it was rip snortin’ good time. Johnny Depp was simply cooler than a mug of well-chilled rum as Jack Sparrow. His entrance into the film, as he “sails” into the harbor, is the stuff of classics, and the eyeliner really works for him. It’s been a long time since my swash got a good buckling like that.

I think life would probably be a lot better overall if we started working pirate lingo into everyday conversations. So from now on, if I ever refer to the lot of you as a pack of “scabrous dogs” or “throat-slittin’ scalawags,” it’s all in good fun.
