THIS BLOG HATES TO DISAPPOINT THE LADIES, BUT...

...it turns out that Johnny Depp is not all that handsome in person.

Comments

[CJrun]

FIRST to notice he's grimacing because he needs his dad to cut a relief hole.

[Siouxie]

You HAD to go ruin that fantansy huh, Dave???

I thought he was taller for some reason...oh well...

[Punkin Poo]

See what drink & drugs and too much time with Tim Burton will do to you, kids? STAY IN SCHOOL!

[Guin]

Dave's at Pirates of the Caribbean in Orlando. The entrance is behind him a little to the left. If you go past Dave to the right, you end up at the restrooms.

Not that I've been to Disney World more than 15 or 20 times.

[CJrun]

PS:

Dear Mr. Blog: Assuming you have returned from your travels, please satisfy a bit of crustaceological curiosity. Were you in the Indo-Pacific? My best guess on Stan was a Ghost crab from that region. I was leaning towards Tahiti or Bora Bora. Annie-Where-But-Here was inclined to go with Bora Bora, as that sounded like a fine place for Roo Roo.

[Siouxie]

Guin, I also thought about that, having just gotten back from there a few weeks ago. It's one of my fav rides and now they have the Jack Sparrow character in there...course he does look a LOT better as a robot than in person...eeek!

[catharine]

SNORKIN' MY COFFEE RIGHT OUT OF MY NOSE!!!!! GOOD ONE DAVE!!!

[O. the U(manity)]

That can't be whatshisname ... it's gotta be Smee's younger nephew ... who's apprenticin' to become a better pirate ... eh?

[Juggler of Geese]

Same here Guin, I used to work for the mouse, I actually worked at Disney MGM but my girlfriend worked for the gift shop at Pirates. I miss those days, Afternoons working at the park, nights of getting drunk at Pleasure Island. Waking up on the lawn in front of your apartment.

Ahhh, those crazy days of youth.

Well, I am off to drink lots of Margaritas and listen to some Jimmy Buffett. See Y'all tomorrow.

[24-aholic]

Boy, who knew make up made such a difference with men? Johnny, please put the eyeliner back on baby

[Lairbo]

Well, at least he's about as tall as we figured...

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Dave, you are looking particularly sccchhhhvvvelllttt. Don't tell me you've dieting while on vacation! I think there are international laws against that.

[puppytoes]

well yeah... standing next to you, who would look good?

[crossgirl]

either this is a tourist/pirate fan or disney's costuming budget has gone way down this year.

nice blue shirt, dave!

[Stevie W]

Isn't that an image of the Virgin Mary in Dave's shirt? Or is it just me?

[Bret Staples]

Hey Dave! I saw you yesterday right there at Pirates (which isn't unusual as I work there). I was the fat Pirate yelling piratey things with my plastic sword on the side that you boarded without glasses, as opposed to the fat guy on the other side that was yelling piratey things while wearing glasses. It was exciting as I've modeled my life after yours in as much that I didn't used to live in Florida and now I do. I was encouraged by the fact that both our lives led us to the same place at the same time, you with your V.I.P. tour guide so that you didn't have to stand in line with the commoners, and me working 60 hours a week to slow down my building debt. I must be doing something right.

[Beppie]

Just as I thought, that Hollywood lifestyle will really bring ya down. I hope there is a rehab center close by.

[Tigger]

Pete Rose called, he wants his wig back.

[Kathybear]

I believe you are looking good in bigger shirts, Dave. Mrs. Blog must be buying a few for you whilst on vaction,eh?

[Siouxie]

I'm guessing pirates don't get much exercise these days??? what with no more pillaging and rapin'...

[Wyo Cowboy]

Announcing the grand opening of Siouxie's Pirate Health Club. Keep your rapin' and pillagin' skills sharp while maintaining top fitness!

Help wanted, apply within.

[O. the U(manity)]

Sounds interestin', Wyo ... tho, if they'd add Litterin' and Creatin' a Nuisance classes, I'd be sure to sign up ...

[Clean Hands]

The drawback is that they'll probably kill you in the morning.

But if you graduate, you get to be the Dread Pirate Roberts!

[bbescuela]

Dave, are you sure that's not Robin Williams? He's pretty good with voices you know.

[puppytoes]

actually... are you sure this isn't this a still from "Dodgeball"?

[Bumble]

lee harvey~ I believe it's an image of the lesser-known St. Adidas, patron saint of sporty persons.

[blurk]

What's with all this rapin' and pillagin' and why wasn't I invited?

[Eleanor]

...but the guy standing next to him sure is!!! :)

A 3 exclamation point hunk!!!

Yes Dave, will you please tell us where you went?

Pretty please...:)

[Siouxie]

Wyo! I like that Health Club thing! course only Johnny Depp looking types need apply (well not ^THIS^ Johnny Deep fugly looking dude)

[Siouxie]

make that DEPP...geez!

[Siouxie]

although...come to think of it...

Johnny Deep WBAGNFA male porn star...

[Stevie W]

Eleanor -

"Yes Dave, will you please tell us where you went?"

I know because I dined at the table next to his. Regretfully, I didn't muster up the huevos to say hello.

However, I feel compelled to not divulge the secret location since he seems to be keeping it private. Perhaps someday I'll be fabulously rewarded with either a CD of his band or a response to the handwritten letter I sent him after the fact asking him to confirm it was he so that my family doesn't continue to think I'm nuts.

[crossgirl]

stevie w., as you rumoured to be visually impaired, i'm guessing you didn't really "see" dave.

[crossgirl]

tosses 're up to you! takes another drink. cheers!

[Wyo Cowboy]

'midst all the turmoil in the mid-east, and terrorist plots, I take great comfort in knowing that the world is (in the words of Stienbeck) "once again spinning in greased grooves."

Dave is home, and back in blue shirtage.

[foggiest notion]

Can someone tell me by email how to post a picture to the blog, say from Google images, or even another web site? Thanks

[Brad]

You can't post pictures to this blog. Otherwise blurk would be posting his 3" ruler shots for all of us to admire.

[foggiest notion]

Thanks wyo. I don't even know what URL means, so it's time to get a tutor.

[Eleanor]

fog - URL is the address in your "address bar". Why they just can't call it an address is beyond me. It took me years to figure that out...

stevie w - if you send me an e-mail and tell me, I promise I won't breathe it to a soul!!! I'll just tell everyone neener!, I know and you don't!

How about it?
*cute hopeful grin*

[foggiest notion]

Thanks people, I'm too feeble. The thing I want to send is http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/1372055.

[peterpan]

Sorry Dave, but that's only Johnny Depp's stunt double. Here is the real Johnny Depp.

[O. the U(manity)]

kfog' ...

Page not found ... sorry ... try again?

[foggiest notion]

Sheesh, I give up! Anyway it was of a bear sitting in a convertible, eating pizza and drinking beer.

[Dave]

Bret -- That was you? EXCELLENT faux-pirating, dude.

[Punkin Poo]

FAUX Pirates????

*sobs, disillusioned ~ loses hope of ever being swashbuckled*

[Betsi]

Oh look--somebody's on the blog ! I was gettin' bored.

[Suzy Q]

Punkin, methinks you might've been swashbucked a few times in yer life already! I just wonder if any of 'em survived.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Punkin', where forms the line? And is such action called "daring do?"

Danny Kaye was a far better buckler of swashes than was Erol Flynn, BTW.

[Punkin Poo]

Look, SuzyQ..... Those smotherings were ACCIDENTAL!! It wasn't MY idea to be on top!

Oh - and Hi Betsi!

[Betsi]

hi Punkin and all!

[Wyo Cowboy]

Ah, but it was my idea.

[Punkin Poo]

*promises not to be naughty and embarass the blog - again.*

[Wyo Cowboy]

How could I have missed this contest?

Have I been asleep? Have I been away too long?

[Guin]

Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!

[Guin]

Correction:

Faux-ho, faux-ho, a pirate's life for me.

[24-aholic]

wyo - is he the prize? I'll take the plank

[O. the U(manity)]

Wyo -

Well, I've been asleep (really - I wuz tooken a nap - Us old people do that some times ya know), so tnx for postin' that link ... it's an amusin' site ... the fine print should produce a wry grin amongst the perceptive ...

[Wyo Cowboy]

24, from the looks of 'im, 'e's gotta 'ave a contest an' the promise o' treasure to get a date. Aye?

*sports a wry grin and a little dry gin rum.*

URL - Universal Resource Locater
Basically, it gives us a way to type in words to get to an internet site and not the IP* address (which changes anyway). And often, one website may have several (sometimes hundreds) of IP address' associated with it.
When you type in a URL it is translated into the IP address by a DNS (Domain Name Server), so a website may have a different IP address depending on which DNS you use.

*IP = Internet Protocol

[Siouxie]

fudtheman, always here to enlighten us!

Internet For Dummies - I'll join the class!

[24-aholic]

hey ya Siouxie

[Siouxie]

hey 24!!

[24-aholic]

hey - I'm a newbie to Sat night blogging. Kids are in bed - after working almost 32 hours straight, Mr. 24 has passed out

[Siouxie]

wowsa...poor guy! I don't know shows up at nights...sometimes I'm here if my girls are out and I'm home. My youngest is at a concert and my oldest is here with her bf.

[Siouxie]

adds a "who" up there...

[24-aholic]

Is this a sharpie kind of event or is she old enough to know her mama's sense of humor :)

What concert is your daughter at?

[Siouxie]

Alessandra's almost 19 so no sharpie needed!
Kristen (16) is listening to some local bands..some friends of hers...teenybopper thing

[24-aholic]

If my oldest was a girl, he was going to be Alessandra, after our Mom's. Love the name!

[Wyo Cowboy]

Hey, you two behave, I'm not able to monitor this at this time. I know you'll be good.

24 must be really good, if Mr. 24's already passed out.

[24-aholic]

I wish I could take credit - last night he had to work a Mopar gathering. Got called in at 4am for a "1 girl multiple men" episode IYKWIM

[Siouxie]

hey Wyo!!! haven't see ya in a while!

who says we won't behave????

24 - I loved the name too...always wanted Alexander or Christian for boys...had two girls, therefore, Alessandra and Kristen.

[24-aholic]

Great minds!

Wyo, what's going on?

[southerngirl]

wyo, you think Siouxie and 24 are gonna be good? you must have really been sleepin'. ;)

and ladies, I'm not usually here on a saturday nite, either.

whoo hoo! girl's nite out!

*luvs Sue (that's easier to spell) and 24 the mojito of their choice*

[Siouxie]

yikes, 24...what's Mopar??

[24-aholic]

hey, southern! I treated myself to a froo froo drink...tips drink in a toast

[Siouxie]

woo hooo!! thanks southengirl!

girls night out then!

[Siouxie]

*tips wine glass*

cheers ladies...

[24-aholic]

southern - what brings you around tonight?

[Siouxie]

I'm sure there's a lot less people on at nights anyways...during the day it's crazy sometimes.

[Siouxie]

the times I check at nights, I'm usually watching tv or something and leave this on for a bit...

[24-aholic]

I'm watching the story of Tim McGraw's life....hot

[Siouxie]

where???? where????

SUPER HOT!!

[24-aholic]

cmt

[Siouxie]

dang...I can't get that here in my room...only in the living room

[24-aholic]

um, kick out the daughter??????

[Siouxie]

they left to pick up my youngest :) I'll take the laptop over....

[24-aholic]

now you're thinking!

[southerngirl]

what brings me here? hubby's at work, and kids are watchin' a movie. so, I can play!!

and btw, y'all can call me sg, if ya like. that's easier to type, too. ;)

[Siouxie]

got it..sg! you can call me Sue or whatever is easier...I know Siouxie ain't the easiest to type...but Sio???

[24-aholic]

hubby's working this late?

[Siouxie]

no hubby here! just me and my girls...and I kinda like it that way... I was married for a LONG time...15 years + 4 dating..so it's OK to be single for a while.

[Wyo Cowboy]

24, et. al. I am so thrilled. Chloe just got to blow the $#'! out of a terrorist. (we get not tv, so I'm catching up via DVD)

Chloe is so cool.

Miss you gals, but sometimes I gotta work too.

[24-aholic]

wyo - is this another drive by?

[O. the U(manity)]

Mopar = ... um ... jeezely, it's been so long, I fergot whut it actually stands for ... Chrysler-type automobiles company ... unless some other new dealy had acquired that acronym when I wuzn't payin' attention ...

[Wyo Cowboy]

sorta, sorry 'bout those, we're takin' breaks between episodes.

I'm sure you'll understand.

[24-aholic]

OtheU - yeah, that about sums it up. Mr. 24 had to get in uniform (he's a detective) and round up drunks. It's a glamorous job!

[Wyo Cowboy]

btw, Sioux, thanks for the pix.

(and the cigars)

[Jazzzz]

*slides in* hello bloglits. Boogers☀ . Had to make trek to Wallyworld, Walgreen, and visit parole officer. (Not) Sat and fed fish at the pond and generally kicked back. Whats going on?

[24-aholic]

Jazzzz...have you forgiven us blogettes?

[O. the U(manity)]

Of course Mopar also include Dodge, Jeep, Eagle and perhaps some of the defunct breeds such as Plymouth and DeSoto ... LaSalle? Now my memory is really slippin' ...

Not Henry J ... not Tucker ... not Kaiser-Fraser ... not Packard ... not Studebaker ... not ... um ... time to quit ramblin' ...
