Pirates

Today while procuring halibut (which is an expensive piece of meat for tasting so mediocre sometimes – there are good & bad bits, but being on the ocean sure is better than fresh-frozen/fancy Halibut) I noticed that a gal behind me had painted on a mustache.  She was also wearing pirate clothing.  Everything inside of me came alive with this strange desire to riff on the weirdness.  I overheard her saying that she had just gotten done seeing Pirates of the Caribbean 3.  No matter how much I like a movie I just can’t get into the costumed theme myself.  The closest that I ever got was showing up the Back to the Future II in regular street clothes and Michael J. Fox was wearing similar clothing on the silver screen when he was in the ‘present.’  Of course there was that time I dressed up as a baby when Star Wars came out.  People thought I looked like Yoda because my cloth diapers were similar to his short little get-up.
