Newt be a good parrot, Arrr....

Considering that the Buccaneers and the Raiders are playing in this Year's super bowl... Where are all the cool as heck Pirate-themed Promos? No "Raiders are set to plunder" puns? "The Bucs will soon be walking the plank, me hearties?"

Something linked into the Pirates of the Caribbean Movie, maybe? (Disney fun fact - The WDW ride was originally going to be a Western Expedition type ride because Walt Disney felt Florida was so close to the Caribbean that people would not be interested. However, he decided to stay with the Pirates Of The Caribbean and it remains the same.) Captain Morgan's Rum Commercials? A rejump into talk like a pirate day?

I really like Cheesy pirate stuff. Gimme a Jolly Roger or something, crappy, unoriginal, media circus!

( Bad pirate jokes only a Scotto could enjoy. )

Another Random Pirate Factoid - The traditional "Jolly Roger" is associated with the pirates of the Atlantic seaboard and Caribbean in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. There were actually many different pirate flags at the time, only a few of which resemble the common "Skull and Crossbones" that we know today. It is believed the name "Jolly Roger" is derived from the French "Joli Rouge" which means the Red cloth. Early records indicate that pirates often flew the red flag as meaning "No Quarter Given."

In other News, I added a to my info page today. Pretty Nifty... It maps how close you are to other websites geographically. I'm pleased to find that the Morikami is already in there...The park where I used to skip school as a senior. A local Weather station, too. (I wonder if/how well this'll catch on as a meme?) Also, if you travel a lot, you can encode individual entries with your location, if you want to get really loopy. I might do that if I have my gps with me, and I'm on the bus or whatever making palm entries...I've wanted to see something like this for LJ for a while. (there are about 16 lj's on there so far)

This man is my kind of troublemaker. If you have a Safeway Club card, you can help him out.

Hmmm.... Other stuff happening locally and for free today, rather than Superbowl Sunday. Lots of Fairs/Festivals, too.

City Link, while being a fake "independent news source" that's really a shill for the Tribune... has a lot of fun resources. The Best of 2002 has a list of all sorts of local goodies to look into, especially if you're in the area, anyway. I'd like to see all the links geocoded, too, so I could just automatically see how many are really near, and scan those first. I guess that's what Citysearch tries to be. Here's an example of a radius stuff to do search local to my house.

I wonder how Fiesta fort Lauderdale is doing? It does end at 4, for the footballers.

I could walk to the Parker Playhouse to see Tick Tick Boom... I wonder how good it is? It closed next weekend, on my birthday. It's surprising that the playhouse doesn't have a website. I wonder if they'd be interested in getting one made up? Sic Dave on there and maybe get a percentage.
