Ha! Though did see a glimpse of it on the news at Rose Festival time when a couple of the Disney(?) pirate ships came up river to Portland, but didn't suspect a big pirate following. HuH!!!

blim Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 My nutty Son wears a pirate hat when he plays games on the computer (I call it his thinking cap ) and I think I know where he will end up when he leaves the crowsnest! Batten down the hatches, Pat, he's a scalywag and I'm sending him this thread! (he'll LOVE those websites) Thanks (I think.....he'll be talking like a Pirate for a couple days after playing with those websites)Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Son got home from work and stayed on the computer till after I went to bed because of your post, Pat! I told him to log on and give a report, but I think he was too busy playing with those sites to do so! He kept saying, "yeah, jussa-minute, gotta check this out. Ooooooh, *ahem* Arrrgggghhhh!"He LOVED the "buccanear rock band" site (you punk rock lovers should check it out, it's NFG goes pirate)And......he found his hat Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thesidekickcat Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi Liz, Glad your son liked the story and links! Watch out that he doesn't try to hobble around with a fake wooden leg, a patch on his eye, and a parrot on his shoulder... after all that pirate stuff. Never can tell what this area will come up with next....the state motto used to be something like "Things look different here" which is sooooo true!!!
