Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrr! To celebrate the day, get your pirate name HERE. Today, you may call me Cap’n Hank Cutthroat.
I’ve been trying to address the piles of invisible junk around my house: You know, those places where stuff has been sitting around so long I don’t consciously notice it any more. In my kitchen, the problem is along the wall. Max’s food and water are there, and for some reason there is a stool there, and for some reason, I pile junk on the stool. It looks very messy. Last night I at least collected the dish towels and washed them. But for now, the stool is still there with a griddle on top of it. (The griddle was a pancake experiment.)
Also along the wall:
A cover panel I need to cut in half and attach to the cabinets under the microwave.
Folding chairs in case I need them for the firepit.
A box under the stool that Max sits in to do kitchen surveillance.
Well, ye can’t move that box, Cap’n Hank, or ye featherless parrot would have nowhere to roost.
Yer deck looks clean like it’s had a swabbing, eh?
– Pirate Jen the Black, who can’t be a ‘Cap’n’ due to male oppressor pirate-naming websites. 🙁 Arrrrggh.
Haha! I did run a few names through that generator to make sure there were no naughty words. There are some potty-mouth words, but no swears. And some of the girl names I tried did give me a “Cap’n”.
I got the name generator website from this list:

It means dishonest dealing. Ye can’t trust a finagler – they’re swindlers. They’ll talk you into givin’ up your part of your part of the treasure. Arrr…

By the way, we need to hear more about that pancake experiment.
I was just trying to get a pancake that looked like the ones from restaurants – smooth, featureless golden-brownness… When I cook pancakes at home, they’re never nearly as pretty.
The griddle didn’t help. I think it might be me…
Pancakes?
