ReplyDeleteOh, sorry, that's "Talk Like a Pilot Day". I've been in Japan too long. (I'll be cutting and pasting this lame comment everywhere, starting with you.)
OhOh, Word Verification is "gurots"! Appropriate?
Speaking of cut and paste . . .
ReplyDeleteA pirate walks into a bar, and the barkeep says
"Excuse me, cap'n, but did you know that you've got your ship's wheel stuck down the front of your pants?"
"Aye," says the pirate, "that thing be drivin' me nuts!"
A Pirate retires and becomes a farmer. When asked how much he charges for corn, he replies, "a buckaneer!"
ReplyDeleteWell shiver me timbers! That thar be th' same price for gettin' yer ears pierced iffen ye were ta join me crew.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you charge for nipples?
ReplyDeleteI had Peanut Butter Crunch for breakfast this morning!
ReplyDeleteRobert, did you have it in the great retro boxes that are out now with Smedley the elephant on the front?
ReplyDeleteGod, yes. I LOVE those boxes. They are like a design primer for kids in the graphic arts field: "THIS is the way to make a fun box!" And I've also been digging the Big G retro boxes, especially the Lucky Charms and Trix...
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the other retro boxes yet, just the cap'n Crunch family.
ReplyDeleteThey show up sporadically at Target, but not too often at grocery chains (I just spotted the Lucky Charms box again last Saturday...)
