Avast! Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Well, yo ho ho(completely meaningless articulation) me hearties (my friends, mi amigos, y'all). Ahoy there to ye.(Hello to you, hola, haay)In honor of TLAP day, this will be a piratical post. To avoid confusion, pirate terminology will be in bold face, and translations in English, Spanish, and Southern will follow, in that order, so everybody can understand. Just kidding. I'd have to hire a linguist. I don't speak Southern. (he he he haw he haw!)

By now you all have heard about "the incident" on Hampton. On 9/17, a youngish man described by a witness as skinny, medium height with blue eyes and reddish almost shoulder-length hair... wearing a baseball cap and a dark-colored t-shirt, long pants and work boots...truck was new-looking, tan/brown, and kind of "souped up" with some type of metal poles (exhaust pipes?) sticking up behind the cab, stopped on the street, got out with the engine still running, and approached 2 young boys playing outside.

Please be on the lookout for this bilge-sucking blaggard (dirty villain, el diablo, varmint), and hopefully soon we'll have his lights and liver (rip out his lungs and liver), after which we'll teach the filthy chumbucket (bucket for holding unwanted fish parts) to dance with Jack Ketch (hang) and send him to Davey Jones's Locker (the bottom of the sea). Watch your children while they are playing outside. Know where they are at all times. Check out radKIDS, a site devoted to teaching children what to do in the event they are approached by a predator. Don't forget on October 26th, Ed Smart, father of Elizabeth Smart (the girl who was kidnapped from her bedroom in Utah) will be speaking at Myers Park Baptist Church.
