    Speaking of ballot access, Doc’s Pancake Palace Newsletter aka The Springfield Journal Register is running a long reader survey through the website..they ask a question about web based news sites so all the blogoholics should go there and answer Capt Fax for the best news source.

  7. - Anon from BB - Tuesday, Sep 19, 06 @ 4:13 pm:

    Pirate walks into a bar, a huge steering wheel in his pants.

    Bartender asks “You realize you have a steering wheel in your pants?”

    The pirate answers “Arrrr, ’tis drivin’ me nuts.”

  14. - Capn' Crunch - Tuesday, Sep 19, 06 @ 5:39 pm:

    I saw this pirate, he looked the part; peg leg, hook hand, eyepatch. I asked him how he came to be in such condition:

    “Well, this leg, shark got a piece of me when I fell out of a jolly-boat coming back from shore leave. The hook replaces a hand I lost to a cannon ball in a battle off the Dry Tortugas.”

    “And the eyepatch?”

    “First day with the hook”.

    YARR!!!


  15. - Eagle I - Tuesday, Sep 19, 06 @ 5:50 pm:

    Ahoy matties and fair wenches! What kind of sox does a true pirate wear on his peg leg? Arrrrgyle!


  16. - huh? - Tuesday, Sep 19, 06 @ 7:09 pm:

    There was a sea chanty that we used to sign all the time 35+ years ago during summer Boy Scout Camp. It was a wild sing, so here it is:

    Haul Away Joe -

    When I was a little lad
    And so my mother told me,
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
    That if I did not kiss the gals
    Me lips would all grow moldy.
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

    Way, haul away, the good ship is a-bolding,
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, the sheet is now a-flowing,
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

    King Louis was the king of France
    Before the revolution…
    But then he got his head cut off
    Which spoiled his constitution…

    Oh, once I had a German gal
    And she was fat and lazy…
    And now I have a Brooklyn gal,
    She damn near drives me crazy…
    Way, haul away, I’ll sing to you of Nancy…
    Way, haul away, she’s just my cut and fancy…

    Way, haul away, we’ll haul for better weather…
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

    I stole this from NPR’s Mixed Signals:

    Have you heard about the next pirate movie?

    It is rated Arrrr!


  18. - anonymous - Tuesday, Sep 19, 06 @ 8:46 pm:

    shiver me timbers, you illinois landlubbers,
    you’re surrounded by nothin but prairie
    but I sent you me red-headed wench to campaign
    you’d agree that she looks somethin scary
    yurr all watching yurr talkbox and these pirates are sayin things scurvy
    i’ll wager me best bottle of rum that the blues turn the reds topsy turvy


  19. - So-Called "Austin Mayor" - Tuesday, Sep 19, 06 @ 9:22 pm:

    “I’ve downloaded the new Slayer album’s torrent with BitLord — and I’m gonna upload the Countdown video to YouTube.”

    Oh wait… you mean those other pirates.

    Blagojevich it’s Govern-Like-a-Pirate Day every day. Especially the plundering part.


  24. - Roy Slade - Wednesday, Sep 20, 06 @ 8:10 am:

    Arrrrr. All pirates have hero’s- and the only suitable hero for good pirates- is Capt. Morgan. Arrrrrrr- that is good stuff! Helps me forget all the pain that the evil stow-away Blago has inflicted on us. If he were on my ship (the Capt Morgan ship)- he would be forced to walk the plank! Arrrrrrrrr!


  25. - Goodbye Napoleon - Wednesday, Sep 20, 06 @ 9:17 am:

    Speaking of Hollywood my matees, me wonders if the Governor ever got a campaign contribution from Peter SAAARSGAAARD


  26. - Mike's Used Sports Section - Wednesday, Sep 20, 06 @ 9:18 am:
