A couple months ago I was attending a Q&A at a George Bush appearance. It was my turn and I asked him about his affiliation with Skull and Bones. Just then, I was grabbed and tazered by these security guys. I was like "What did I do? Don't Taze me Bro!" And they were all, zap, zap, zap. They held me as a war combatant for a while at Guantanamo, but I'm out a healing well now. This has apparently sparked some copycat performances, but what are you going to do?

aaarrrrrch!

A seaman meets a pirate in a port, and the conversation soon turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."

"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"?

"Well...", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and I was battling the other sailors with swords. One of them cut my hand off."

"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"?

"A seagull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.

"Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."

To clarify...

Correct pirate syntax:

"Arrrr" is what pirates say when we means "yes," "hmmmm..." or "ah so." Also, ye can use it just generally, when ye want to sound like a pirate. Arrr...

"Arrrrghh" is what you say when ye sit on an upright belayin' pin.

Maybe the weather?

Computers won't boot if it's too hot. They'll also shut down automatically if they get too warm. If a computer doesn't work in summer but works the rest of the time, check the fan. They're often pretty cheaply made, and fail quickly. The fan on my Dell had to be replaced when the computer was only a few months old. Bearings wore out.

basic pirate lexicon

The basics

Pirate lingo is rich and complicated, sort of like a good stew. There are several other sites that offer glossaries that are pretty good, and you can find some of them on our links page.

But if you just want a quick fix, a surface gloss, a "pirate patina," if you will, here are the five basic words that you cannot live without. Master them, and you can face Talk Like a Pirate Day with a smile on your face and a parrot on your shoulder, if that's your thing.

Ahoy! - "Hello!"

Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"

Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."

Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."

Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!

A Pirate walked into a bar

and the barman said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible!"

"What do you mean?" said the pirate. "I feel fine."

"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

"Well, we were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine, now."

"Well, ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"

"We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really."

"What about that eye patch?"

"Oh, one day, we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."

"You're kidding," said the barman, "you couldn't lose an eye just from some bird shit."

"It was my first day with the hook."

arrrrr let's Go Reds

A pirate and his parrot, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a valiant battle. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, the pirate stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a Genie came forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving any thought to the matter the pirate blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into rum!" The Genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest rum ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of rum on the hull broke the stillness as the two considered their circumstances. The parrot looked disgustedly at the pirate and after a tension-filled moment spoke: "Now yee've done it!! Now we're goon to have to pee in the boat."

My crazy idea...

Originally, ESPN was one of a kind, the only cable sports network. Their job was to report the news in the sports world 24 hours a day. People latched on, and a legend was born. Initially, they viewed their competition as local sports segments, so they patterned their programming to give you all the information your local sports report gave you, and then some.

I think that ESPN was forced to change their focus significantly with the rise of the internet. Their competition for solely sports was not only local sports, but websites providing instant access to scores, analysis, highlights, rankings, etc. The new focus took on not only other forms of sports media, but news media as well. Hence, the switch from "Alex Rodriguez is a hell of a ballplayer," to "A-Rod is a choker, and 5'-2" albino David Eckstein is the guy you really want up in a playoff game."

You (and me) are attempting to learn what's important in baseball without bias or subjectivity, while ESPN is trying to appeal to the largest number of people by pandering to the least common denominator among sports fans. Unfortunately, the best alternative we have is Fox Sports, whose TV programming is infinitely worse (though the morning radio show is much better; Steve Czaban is intelligent, entertaining, and objective; can't say the same about Mike and Mike).

Sorry for the rambling; the bottom line is that you're trying to get smarter and smarter about baseball while ESPN strives to get dumber and dumber to reach the maximum number of people.

doesn't matter

with dunn sliding, the run probably scores anyway. And they still got the out at second. Everything is essentially the same.

Advice....

My wife still likes the MTV shows that I watched when I got the chance when I was 14. Best investment you will ever make; DVR. Make it blatantly obvious that live sporting events take precedence over half hour shows that will be played 7 times in the next 3 days. She can't complain, because she gets to watch her shitty shows. You can't complain, because she can't complain.

Also, may I recommend Bret Michaels: Rock of Love. It's down to the final episode, but surely VH1 will be running a marathon soon. Damn good stuff.

This counts as Pirate talk because Bret Michaels is from Pittsburgh.

Never tried them, though. I'm not much into frozen hamburgers.

I would like to state again

how fucking phenomenal Dan Shulman is at calling a game. Steve Phillips and Orel Hersheiser suck out loud, but I'm quite certain there's nobody I'd rather hear call a game than Shulman unless it's Vin Scully. It would have been Marty until a few years ago, but Shulman seems to understand Dunn's value.

BTW, he's also a fantastic college football p-b-p guy. Best in the business.

I don't have wireless here

I wish I did, which is why I'm asking. I live an area without mobile broadband coverage. I have a DSL connection, and have my own home network set up so I can use my laptop wirelessly at home. But it has very limited range.

When I go on vacation, I check and make sure the hotel has free wireless. It's a must-have for me. Forget the pool, sauna, gym, and room service. I want free Internet!

But I don't understand how that works in Bulgaria. Will you be staying a hotel with free wireless or something?

so i'll just pay for broadband if the house doesn't have it already. if i'm traveling, i'll just find somewhere that has wireless or borrow someone's unsecured wireless signal. in this day and age, it's never difficult to find an internet connection in urban areas, even in the poorest of countries. which reminds me, i better pack my ethernet cable...

At least

you won't have to worry about being blacked out. :-)

I'm living in a small city. I had to wait forever to get broadband. They said the old wiring in my building - cable and telephone - wouldn't support digital. And there aren't a lot of hotspots in my area. There's a coffee shop a couple of miles away, but most of my neighbors secure their networks these days.

In China awhile back, I ended up paying per minute at Internet cafes and "business centers." CNN.com and other news sites were blocked. o_O

Yeah...

...that's what I was wondering.

I'd heard that the U.S. really lags the rest of the world when it comes to broadband. Not only do we not have as much of it, our broadband is really, really slow. So slow it wouldn't be considered broadband in many other countries.

Kinda depressing that we're worse than Bulgaria, though.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Sep 24, 2007 5:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

We had it first

places like Bulgaria were so late to arrive to building the infrastructure necessary for internet that the whole dial-up age passed them by, and they got to go straight to broadband. lucky for them - they never had to experience the impatience of waiting for a dial-up page to load.

in the US you still have people looking to make a quick buck by starting their own dial-up companies and offering them at insanely low prices. consumers see $9.99 per month! compared to $29.99 per month and all common sense flies out the window. it's like those people who buy a gallon jar of pickles at walmart for $3.99. sure, compared to the smaller jar, that's a great bargin, but the pickles will go bad before they can eat all of them. in reality they're only using a little more pickle than they would have with the smaller jar. not much of a savings.

I love the Reds no matter what!

by Daedalus on Sep 24, 2007 5:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

the pickles got me off track

what i meant by it is that people aren't demanding broadband access in some areas because they think their $9.99 dial-up is a great deal.

I love the Reds no matter what!

by Daedalus on Sep 24, 2007 5:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Could be

But I know a lot of people who want broadband and can't get it.

I wonder if it's our pattern of settlement that's the problem. Europe and Asia have much denser settlement patterns, because they were settled centuries or even millennia ago. Much of the USA was designed around the car. We invented suburbia.
