Thinking about pirates...

I still find it hilarious that in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies Johnny Depp isn't trying to talk like a pirate as much as he's trying to impersonate Keith Richards.

Me too, really annoyed me for the first half an hour the first time I watched it that he seemed to be trying to do a half assed impression of Keith Richards, there was a comedy show at the time where Keith and Mick ran a corner shop, so it wan't even original., When you find out he was deliberately doing a half assed impression of Keith Richards it makes sense.

I thought he sounded like Ozzy

Some poor fool at work added signage to my workload....

You rock

there were 8 in all (I think)

Was it a hit? I'd buy Saaaaarrsage

someone stole that sign.....

Can't think of higher praise

You're a doctor. I know your job is low on your list of priorities at this stage in the game, but when your nest is empty, I'd like to suggest you look to marketing as a career. Your experience fund raising, and superior command of language, the whip sharp wit, and purple hair....high motor, go getter... Chaos on a broomstick, messy bossy pillar of strength..... Creative and crafty.

Or... Manage musical acts. You have horrid taste in music though, so you'd have to work for an agent.

Might as well have fun at your current job. Tell then I said you should be in charge of the signs for all holidays, real and imaginary.

I hate marketing. with a passion. but thanks. I used to share my office with the graphic artist and the marketer. Now it's mine, all mine. and apparently so are the jobs. but not all the money. Marketing folks have to deal with people and not call them stupid cunts. This is not my area of strength. ut my job is paying for college for the first-baaaaaarrrrn. Another one goes next year :eek:

Can't believe no-one resurrected this thread yet today.

I do have a sign minion now, but Tuesday is her day off....
