A pirate’s story
Today we continue the story of our Pirate King of the box.
ARRR! Avast ye busload of tourists! Prepare to be boarded!
Uh oh, people. We better do what he says.
The tourists start to comply, but one of them notices something looming in the horizon…
Whoa! Is that an inbound flight?? I've gotta move this bus!!
'Passengers, please remain seated until the pilot has turned off the Little People seatbelt sign...'
ARRR!! There be too many people on the top of my box!
This be MY toy box! Time to thin the ranks!
You land-lubbers come aboard! And you air-lubbers too! Arr!
Now all of ye PREPARE TO WALK THE PLANK!! Har har!
Uh, sweety? There's been a reorganization.
What?? You're makin' me walk me own plank?
ARRRRRrrrrrrrr.....
PANDA: Papa, is the pirate OK?
ME: Yes, he’s fine. He’s just unemployed.
Arr, where's me resumé...

Argh! Mutiny! Those Little People are all smiles, but they’re bloodthirsty little bastards. My Stormtroopers aren’t doing anything at the moment if the pirate needs some help retaking his ship.

Maybe you, er I mean the pirate, can work on the Spongebob Squarepants show. The pirate they have on there occasionally is weird.

You gotta love how the wife sold the pirate down the river. (So to speak.)
PS- Air lubbers? Hilarious.
PPS- I was forced to walk the plank too. It sucked.

I think my brain stops working when I try to comment here. What I meant to say … little people airplane we have and how cool it would be if you had one too. Seriously, what is wrong with me?

Do you think that walking his own plank will be a strike against him on his next job application? I am kinda thinking he should leave that out.

I’m just hoping that the pirate can find a job at the Barn. And that the Goodfather can find a job of his dreams.

It’s OK. Pirates can pillage and burn and journey like gypsies. Hey, maybe they’re the ones who stole your muse. Darn pirates!
