    Apropos of nothing, I heard a (probably apocryphal story) today about a peg-legged t.v. show host saying to Frank Zappa, "You have long hair, so you must be a girl." Zappa replied, "You have a wooden leg, so you must be a table."


    Zappa got it wrong. The guy was just a washed up pirate.

    Yeah, but before drowning, did they make the cute little "boop!" sound that old lady made after she threw the Heart Of The Sea into the ocean?

    @WagCurious: It's a Saturday. Give me a break.


    But! What I am referring to is the thing about pirates not learning how to swim so if they are lost at sea with no hope, they can die more quickly.

    @MisterHippity: A number of thoughts here:


    a) When Davy Jones recorded "Girl" in the Brady Bunch episode, the studio guys were not smoking pot. Is this not suspect?


    b) Just how big is that locker? Does it contain Madoff money? According to the company he endorses, "In the 18 months prior to founding GorillaTrades, the Gorilla used this discovery to turn $250,000 into $5,500,000 - a fact verified by IBD."


    Davy Jone's Locker indeed!

    I've always maintained that the complement of entropy is irony. Ironically, there is no way to prove this and it just gets worse as time goes by.

    So much irony that it couldn't be more ironic if it was cast in iron and then welded to something else made of iron and then covered in blood and made into filings.Iron-y irony.

    Just back from Orlando. Somali Pirates of the Carribean was the best ride at Disney. It had everything; M16s and RPGs, Johnny Depp, dismembered soccer moms.


    Awesome!
