John, Wow, best clue thus far, you're hitting close to home with that one. :o

Am I the only one who finds this whole "pirate" thing tiresome and played out?

No one said you had to read the thread. I find it amusing. :D

Gosh Trish, Pat and Mark,

It's only January, it going to be a long winter on the island...
Protracted properly, BIP could have been hanged on St. Patty's Day, his head used for the Fish Toss....
By concentrating on the sins of the Pirate, perhaps the Island could have forgone some of the nasty traditional actions of March, like divorces, fights in the pubs and folks using their fingers to give each other something more that a friendly wave as they pass each other on the Kings Hwy.

But if your bored... seriously then, you pick...
So what game would you like to play next?

Or perhaps, someone could forward some video of their new kitten playing with yarn...
I, for one, would be mesmerized....

John,

I'm in Grand Rapids; I'll be fine.

However, if the less-than-scintillating 175-plus post yarn being woven by the pirate prevent even ONE divorce, even ONE highway middle finger...

Well, then I guess it will all have been worth... No; no it wouldn't.

Now, since I don't know who the bip is, and since 95% of the men and 100% of the women on the island can kick my @$$, I'll say no more on the topic.

Okay, this is kind of weird! The BI Pirate sent a postcard to me at my downstate address. And the postmark says -___ Rapids MI with a zip code starting with 49. And, the handwriting appears to be feminine. The note reads," I'm saddened you do not believe in Pirates on Whiskey Island. No one lives at the North Pole but millions believe in Santa. Be kind to pirates".

So either Elk Rapids or Grand Rapids.

It also has green ink stamps...celtic knot and a shamrock. So an older lady who scrapbooks, perchance!

And, no, I still do not believe in pirates living on Whiskey. And I am only slightly creeped out to get a postcard downstate.

Pirate, leave me alone! Ha!
