Scallywags and heroes....

[fajrdrako]

Someone on one of my mailings lists saw "Pirates of the Caribbean" when it opened in the UK and described it:

What with the shivering of the timbers and the flashing of the blades, the
dripping wet, the steaming heat, the rising, the ebbing, the hoisting, the
swabbing.....men in bondage, men in uniform, men in irons, men in hats with
feathers, lost souls, lusty souls, scallywags and heroes...fine, fine tall dark
haired, tanned athletic men with tatoos....and the most expressive, wonderful dark
brown eyes....

She made me smile, and I got her permission to quote her.

I'm going to see it again tomorrow and really, really look forward to it.

And I will see it tomorrow for the first time. I vow, finally, I'm going to see it! A six-day work-week behind me, I need a break! Arrr!

The local drive-in is showing a double-feature of Freaky Friday (love that Jamie Lee Curtis -- such a light touch with comedy) and Pirates of the Caribbean. I like their taste. It would be great fun to see it on a huge outdoor screen, like in the old days (ah, nostalgia!).

Such a delightful description, too. She got it perfectly right.

I'll be seeing it this afternoon too. I'll think of you!

It's a good break. It's like a whole vacation. To the Caribbean. Rum included at no extra charge.

She described the important parts!
