12/18/2001 Entry: "D'arr!"

Noted:
Piracy is contagious, you know. If you're bitten by a pirate, you can catch it!

Faris says d'arr, matey.

Also noted:
The web entity known as fanfiction.net is a pit of voles. You heard me.

Thirdly noted:
Some of you may be familiar with the eighties song 'Turning Japanese', by the Vapors. A song which I love, and have loved for years. But did you know that the phrase 'turning Japanese' is 80s slang for 'having an orgasm'?
So, basically, depending on how twitchy you are, the song is either about a man staring at pictures of his beloved and jerking off... or about a stalker sitting in a room wallpapered with pictures of the person he's stalking, and jerking off.
I submit that this makes the song better.

....interesting

Well, that certainly makes the song make more sense. In a spooky kind of way.

Not that I can complain, since I listen to Barenaked Ladies and they have songs about auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Ahoy. I'm Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate! ...or not. But yes, the scary thing was that I was using pirate-speak just before I dropped over to check this blog... and what do you mean, fanfiction.net is a pit of voles? I'm not sure I follow.

So lessee...if Nezumi's reading this right, your blog concerns a stalker who, having been bitten by a pirate now says 'D'arrrr matey!' while he jerks off to pictures of his unsuspecting beloved in a pit of fanfic-writing internet voles.

Well, if you're just going to rehash old ideas, then Nezumi doesn't know /what/ to say.

1) Yes. MP3s are a gateway drug. ;)
2) Yee-es, but the small-time fanficcers among us find it useful to get wider exposure, too. (And I think some of us don't suck. At least a few.) Okay, I'm just addicted to reviews, like that's anything unique... ;)
3) Yep, knew that. The lyric IS pretty creepy at some points, despite the insanely happy sound... at the very least it makes it more interesting.

I did NOT know that.....about "turning Japanese" that is. I know all about pirates! LOL j/k

But what do you know about Japanese pirates, hmm?

Are you holding out on us?

A couple pirate jokes for your amusement:

Q: Did you hear what the rating is on that new pirate movie?
A: Arrr!

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel somehow attached to his crotch. The bartender says, "Say, what's the deal with THAT thing??" The pirate replies, "Arr, it's drivin' me nuts!"

Thank you.

Arrr, these jokes be drivin' me insane! I wouldn't be bein' sure as I've heard such awful puns before in all me years at sea, matey. (Well, actually, I probably have, but have repressed the experience -_^.)

Posted by Nathan @ 12/19/2001 06:00 PM EST

Japanese pirates??? I know nothing of that...
Heh. Moon mentioned that pirate joke about the steering wheel in a previous post. It is a good one.
