I am charmed by popcorn storm (note: never knew of pop-up storm anyway, so it's all new). I think it needs to be spread far and wide. Just like the @@.
Time to color hair now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Band of pirates sets out to conquer NYC dive bars:
By day, they are mild-mannered civilians with jobs at banks and well-meaning nonprofit groups.
But on those nights when pub piracy is nigh, they don eye patches, hoop earrings - and colorful bandanas, too.
They also carry a paper parrot dubbed "Harvey" and a plush monkey named "Monkey."
And being pirates, they call each other "Matey" and growl things like "Arrrrrrr" and "Shiver me timbers" to anyone who dares approach them.
The idea was hatched in March when "Scurvy" Kiera (The Dangerous) Downes-Vogel, 26, of Astoria, Queens, spotted an issue of Time Out New York that listed 41 great dive bars in the city.
She suggested to a couple of friends that they should go check them out - all of them - and her friends instantly agreed.
MacLeod, 25, also of Astoria, quickly realized that in order to scout out all of those bars they would need a map - and being a graphic designer, she drew it up herself.
The crew dubbed it a "treasure map," and burned the edges for effect, and soon the idea that they were pirates hunting for the treasure was formed.
The pub pirates have three rules: Don't ever leave a fellow pirate behind. Don't do shots. And, perhaps most importantly, always wash your hands.
The shots rule? "We already broke that," Downes-Vogel admitted.
And a couple of drunken, stubborn pirates have been left to fend for themselves on a few occasions.
"But we always wash our hands," MacLeod noted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
WHAT I’D SAY TO THE MARTIANS by Jack Handy.
You say your civilization is more advanced than ours. But who is really the more “civilized” one? You, standing there watching this cage? Or me, with my pants down, trying to urinate on you?
...
I came here in peace, seeking gold and slaves. But you have treated me like an intruder. Maybe it is not me who is the intruder but you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wanna be a pub pirate!
Or any kind of pirate, really.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Do the pub pirates wear puffy shirts?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The pirates in my head are wearing eyeliner. NSM with the shirts though, puffy or otherwise.
My pirates might have been influenced by something shrift wrote.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just you wait. In like 10 years, I'll have a book out of ridiculous shit I made up and spread throughout the internet. It'll be called, "That is TOO a word!"
