Hey, I can bring a jolly roger if you need a first mate.

[bgill]

Wednesday was Talk Like a Pirate Day, arrr!

[Dr. Sivana]

All of the Dart princesses I know could only properly seat six ... may nine or ten if there are a lot of kids and you use the package tray.

[Dr. Sivana]

Nughtshade grows all over the place on the east coast. Bright, red berries.

When I walked to elementary school in Connecticut, I passed by a house only two doors away that used night shade between the front lawn and the sidewalk we all walked on. Dozens of us kids walked by it every day. Fortunately, to my knowledge no one ever ate any. I was warned, but didn't know what it was, and they looked too much like tiny plum tomatoes, which I didn't like.

"...What are you going to do now?’ and ‘I believe this is out of your jurisdiction!..."

[rlmorel]

I think this is one of the most hilarious things I have heard about in a while.

That woman really, REALLY knows how to make a scene. This is better than any John Hughes movie. Well, maybe not. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is on par.

[Boogieman]

Really. It’s basically Thelma & Louise meets the Hangover. I’d watch it again. Four stars!

[rlmorel]

WWLT?

[rlmorel]

I read through a lot of bad news on the way down the page to this thread.

This thread has brought a smile to my face. Human beings are simply amazing creatures.

If I were an alien, a farm of humans would be a must have.

“Hey! Gronk! Look at what this one is doing here!”

[Boogieman]

Yeah. I have to imagine that when God isn’t weeping over the evil things we do, it’s probably like a nonstop reel of “Funniest Home Videos” for Him up there watching us.

[Cyman]

Savagely funny film.

[rlmorel]

Yep...I will imagine that our capacity for evil as well as good must be a burden.

[visualops]

Yes indeed, some much needed levity.

She added that she felt the boat moving and ‘noticed the hotels getting a long way away’.

She was eventually arrested after around an hour, when the ferry came to a halt in calmer waters, retorting: ‘We’d have ended up in St Tropez if we hadn’t been caught’.

[rlmorel]

The part about her tripping over the hawsers was pretty funny!

[dfwgator]

Or the “I Believe in Magic” scene in Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

[rlmorel]

HAHAHAHAHA OMG I forgot about that scene. The movie didn’t appeal to me, but in this context that scene is spot on!

[ConservativeStatement]

I'm not sure if you seen a show on History Channel called Counting Cars but a recent episode featured an old Dart.

[rabidralph]

I hadn’t laughed so much at a movie as that one. I was really surprised at how good it was. “I really don’t drink.”

[Bon mots]

Good lord... She looks like her face caught on fire and someone put it out with a shovel!

[Rome2000]

Har!
