Arrgh!


We are currently being visited by the Lady Washington, a fine vessel seen in the film version of Pirates of the Carribean, possibly the greatest film ever made based upon a pirate themed Disneyland ride. It's a replica of a ship used to explore the Pacific Northwest back in headier days. I snapped it this morning on my ride, and it's leaving town today, so if you're crusing around in yer land ship, it's docked at the Maritime Museum.

Breeze article on the visit 'ere.

No, no, no, no. Please...you're insulting the pirate community by getting their key expression wrong.

It's not "arrrgh." It's "arrrrrrr." That "g" turns it into a sort of modern groan of exasperation. Pirates don't get exasperated, they just start beheading people and pillaging and making folks walk the plank. It's kind of a point of pride with them, you see.

Sounds like a plan!

Isn't "arrrgh" what Charlie Brown says when Lucy pulls the football away just as he's about to kick it?

That works for San Pedro too.
