Arrrrrr you ready for some pirate jokes? (http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2000/06/14pirates.html?frk)
-
I loathe you.
Arrrrr.

McSweeney's? Get out the tweezers (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=06302003) and lab coats, matey (http://images.google.com/images?q=pirate+keyboard&hl=en&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0)!

Upon telling the "computational linguistics" joke to my SO, he replied that he expected it to be the geRRRRRRRRund. This sort of terrifies me on its face, really -- who comes up with an alternate answer to a Pirate Riddle for Sophisticates?
-
I would have thought he would have favored counting ARRRRRRRticles.
-
I still don't see the pirate draw. I heard a couple of guys doing a little pirate shtick on the bus the other day. I just never really got into it. Is there some root cause (recently) that sort of made it blow up like it has? Because it seems to be really popular with the internet population (for lack of a better descriptor).

I was at a restaurant a few months ago and the waiter asked which we thought were better, ninjas or pirates. Apparently the staff was arguing the point and decided to poll the customers.
I obviously picked ninjas.

Every time!

Ninjas I can understand. I need to be eating at restaurants like that.

Indeed. When's the last time anybody ordered food from a Pirate Burger? No pirate could match the Ninja Burger (http://www.ninjaburger.com/) guarantee: no matter where you are, you'll get your order, hot and tasty, in 30 minutes or less. Guaranteed, or we commit seppuku.

Dunno, I dig pirates. It's the skull-and-crossbone factor. I'm never wearing less than one article of clothing with skulls on it (thanks to my Vision Streetwear skull sneakers).
Skull-adorned things are getting very trendy of late, but for me it started when I was a kid interested in Jose Posada (http://www.carnaval.com/dead/posada.htm).

Interesting, no, that they put out Vision Streetwear skull sneakers. (http://www.cinderblock.com/wc.dll?WebStore~ViewItem~MIS~MSF-VSW6~SID=04112615184055120930)
?
I'm guessing these aren't the ones you own?
-
Oh, nope. I didn't know those existed, although the Misfits have succeeded in puttin their logo on damn near everything else, which is one of the reasons I think they are so lame. I can't find a picture of my shoes exactly, but they're a low-top version of the "punk skull" shoes here (http://www.oldschoolskateboards.net/shoe-canvas.htm).

They have, in some respects, attempted to maximize their exposure in order to increase revenue, it is true. I'm more of a "Little Glendon"-era Misfits fan, of course.

Oh my god, I had forgotten all about Vision Street Wear. I used to own a pair of these back when I used to skate a lot:

Cripes. I'm amazed at what I used to skate in (regular trainers). Now I hate even walking in anything less than my lovely Globes.
Plus it lets me yell 'Hey, check out my Globes' lots.

I'm assuming Globes are a hip and/or trendy brand of trainers/sneakers?

I don't know about hip and trendy. Not that many people have them over here which is a part of why I like them. They are skat shoes though, and these ones are designed by Rodney Mullen. He's a freestyle skater - less of the straight street/vert stuff, and more like freestyle BMX but on a board. He sickens me! But anyway, they are ncredibly comfortable, and I wouldn't skate in anything less. Which probably means I ought go and skate again.

Where I live we have a classy little burger chain called White Spot and their kids meal is called a Pirate pack. It comes in a boat with a chocolate coin, ice cream and your other food. It's truly awesome and for a kid growing up it kicks a ninja burgers against the wall, shoots it with a musket and leaves it to the sharks in briny deep any day.
