Did you know there are still pirates in this world? There is a group of Somali pirates that have overtaken a NATO ship and the ship is about to run out of food. They are demanding $20 million. When they were given $1 million, they scoffed saying that wouldn't even buy a couple of nights at a hotel. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Maybe I should become a pirate. Seriously, they could at least stay a few weeks at a Hampton Inn on $1 million. Granted, they may have to sleep two to a room.

Also, I'm not taking you seriously as a pirate unless you meet the following conditions:
1. You wear an eye patch.
2. You obviously have to elongate your "r"s.
3. You possibly have lost an appendage, maybe even a limb. 
4. Your solution to lost of said body part is a wooden peg.
5. You swing a lot from ropes.
6. You approach the vessel you wish you take over in a huge boat with sails. 

Unless you meet all of these criterion, you are not a pirate.

I think I know a 4 year old that could qualify for pirate status. He may just need a little leadership in how much to demand. Right now, his going rate is 3 "moneys" (any three coins work). Basically, he needs guidance on greediness.

You know, can you be a pirate when you weild a machine gun (as I believe the Somolian guys do) instead of a knife in the hilt of your belt? Even "Modern Day" pirates should have a talking parrot or something Johnny Depp could be proud of...

Sass, is that you out there? Are you the "Sarah" that comments on my blog every now and then? Your blogger profile is private, just so you know.

I would love to come to Nashville (with Ber). I've had lunch with Anne Jackson before. She went on a Compassion trip with my friend from Bham, Boomama.net. She's awesome!
