This Just In...


How effed up is it that when I read this article about French forces capturing pirates off the coast of Kenya I immediately flashed upon the image of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow? Am I the only one, or does this sound like a really good beginning to a French joke:

“Did you hear the one about the French sailors that captured a boatfull of pirates?”

Unfortunately I’m not clever enough to make that punchline.

The pirate phenomenon is such fertile ground for jokes. I teased one of my Somali cohorts mercilessly today and I even included Arrrrgh in the convo. Check out Letterman's Top Ten List about Somali Pirates. http://tinyurl.com/dx8u2w

There is a pirate convention here in New Orleans every year. I must say the pirates strolling down Bourbon look nothing like Jack Sparrow. :(

yeah - how is it that Johnny can look so good even when he's supposed to look so bad??
