    I started off all wrong, matey. I thought the first picture was a bottle cap. So I had “Pop Tarts and a bottle of rum, I smell the blood of an englishman.”

    arrrgh.

    I can seeeeeeeeee wherrrrrrre yeh’d go wrong, matey.

    I really struggled with the yo ho ho pics. Things I contemplated, a rapper (i.e. Yo, MTV raps), Paris Hilton and Britney, Britney at the MTV awards (the one with Madonna – but decided they were way tooo trashy for my blog), a nun with a cross through it (i.e. Not a nun).

    I like the Pop Tarts and a bottle of rummmm though. Especially the chocolate filled ones. good combo, rrrrrrrrrright?

    Rrrrrrrrrrright!?

    Don’t make me make yeh walk the plank! There’s sharks in them waters!

    SeaQueen, Pants down Juliana?

    Now there’s a ho name, if I ever heard it. I’m thinkin yeh betterrrr stick to Brit Blackbeard.

    Although the image of you with a black beard is well… um… strange.

    Deb Greasepalms, I’m glad yeh stopped by and got the riddle.

    Helga the Bitter, I lurved the pirate name link.

    Amber, you forgot to do a pirate name! But I lurved your comment. All of your ARRRRs made me smile, oh and who doesn’t lurve being told that they are clever? Glad you liked the ho part.

    HB tells me that Paris is way more a ho than Britney and I should’ve used her. I’ll tell you what, looking through Google Images for pics of each of them did make me think that Paris was more ho-like of the 2 of them.

    Oh, and of course, last night I started thinking how I could’ve used a garden hoe.

    But a garden hoe wouldn’t have been nearly as picturesque, I say. ;-)

    BTW: Where do you think my scarrrrrrrrrr is located?
