Yarr, speakin' of pirates, if the Cubs win it all this year, I nominate the Pirates to pick up the "lovable losers" mantle. Yar.

So this pirate walks into a bar and sits next to a drunken wench.
The wench looks him over and says, "Nice pirate outfit. Where'd you get your earrings?"
The pirate says, "Arr, I bought one from the dollar store on the other side of town and I got the other from the dollar store across the street."
So the wench exclaims, "Wow! Not bad for a buck-an-ear!"

Well shiver me little timbers. If you people are not just the nicest bunch of people anybody could want to meet.
So nice and polite and well geez just so darn fantastic. Do you all shop at Macy's on a regular basis or have you all moved over to the on-line style of shopping?
Hmm well either way you all just look super great!
