Wearing: Purple jeans, black tank top, black tuxedo shirt. Various jewelry things. Ear cuff. Ponytail. Bare feets.

Eating: Cold pizza for breakfast. (I'm out of milk. Again.)

Drinking: Water. (see milk.)

Reading: "The Heartbreak Trilogy" by Evan Dorkin, and/or the new Acoutrements catalog.

Knitting: The last sleeve of my first sweater. The last sleeve, I tell ya! Woowoo!

Thinking: How I need to stop looking at the Acoutrements catalog and drooling over the Devil Ducky shower curtains.



The word for today, beloved Mauseteers, is...Fantavision!



And me? I'm off to the Minimalist Inferno again...We're constructing a new lava-pit for all the Cubists, and the intern-demons keep stealing my two-wheeler. I'll keep you posted.

Wearing: A pirate outfit
Eating: Scurvy-reducing limes ;)
Drinking: Flagons of ale
Reading: I'm a pirate! I don't know how to read anything but treasure maps!
Knitting: Come on now, exactly what kind of pirate knits?
Thinking: Where my next flagon is coming from, and where the next treasure map leads to :)

In my dreams...

Yarr!

Hey, the Portuguese pirates taught the Japanese brothel girls how to knit, so apparently there was *some* pirate knitting going on...and it's hell to keep your stripey stockings nice on the high seas. yarr!!!

And you wouyld be looking for the flagon with the dragon, it holds the brew that is true...

Re: Yarr!

[phil99.livejournal.com]

Surely you just nick your socks from the first galeon laiden with gold that you ransack? :)

Re: Yarr!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Maybe if you're raiding the Victoria's Secret Armada...and those garters would sure be fetching on any rakish rake.

Just don't puncture the waterbras. Yarr.

Re: Yarr!

[phil99.livejournal.com]

hmmm, waterbras.... *drools*

Re: Yarr!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Umm...if you keep squeezing them like that they're gonna pop, sir....

Re: Yarr!

[phil99.livejournal.com]

*squeezes a little too hard and gets hit hard in the face by an exploding waterbra*

Re: Yarr!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

*sigh*
I did warn you...nobody listens to me:P

*starts to giggle*

Re: Yarr!

[phil99.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry MsFlederMaus - I now know that you are wise and sage. I shall never ignore your advice again.

Re: Yarr!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Hey, why am I covered in sage leaves?
*Brush brush*

And why are you wearing a chemise, mister? Though the pale pink seems to suit you so...

Re: Yarr!

Is that true--or just another way to spin yard. (Har har) If true, when was that and where did the pirates learn to knit. And how did you know that?

If not true--oh, never mind.

Re: Yarr!

[emschin.livejournal.com]

I ruined my own joke! I meant "spin a yarn" not spin yard. And it was so FUNNY!

Re: Yarr!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's true...I was looking up the history of knitting online and there was a section about asian knitting. the Portuguese traders brought it over to Japan when they opened their ports. (Pirates sometimes either joined the traders or raided them coming out) Apparently in Europe the guys knitted as often as the women...which makes a kind of sense if you need clothes for a family.

Eventually the Samurai took it up and became famous for their knitting--inlcuding museum pieces they had on their site. I have to find that link and put it up, because it was such an interesting thing to find...

I liked your joke!! I got it, I did!!! I just put down the misspellings to pirate attack:)
