Ah, more Pirates goodness. I’m so happy they have galleys with sweeps and lateen sails. The Barbary Corsairs were always my favorites. I especially love the xebecs.
There are a couple of new things happening here. The first thing is the title of this post which is clearly neither a song lyric nor a movie quote. The second is that this is the first entry in what I hope will be a weekly exercise to help improve my fencing. I’m starting a [...]
So, I was chatting with eevieivy, like you do, and I was relating the story of the tight shirt, I mentioned earlier, when my gayness, pimp bitch that she is, rolled up on me, cracked the window on the broham, and popped a cap in my ass.
See, I went to the store to buy King [...]

On Monday I mentioned that Devin lost a tooth. Well, it was his first tooth, and he called me on my cell and left me a voice mail telling me all about it (I was still in Dallas). I promised then to post the sound bite, and here it is:

So, last week I mentioned something about plans in August, and was all mysterious about it, and then I mentioned it again a few days ago. This was not an attempt to build suspense over anything, but more that it had to be mentioned for the topic at hand, even though I wasn’t quite ready [...]
