Apparently, I've been rather out of it lately...
Proof being in black and white on Gypsy Noir's blog!
There was talk on a recent post of hers regarding one delectible actor who has played a myriad of different character parts.
Johnny Depp has raised the pulse of many a girl and woman over the past twenty years and he continues to do so.
One of the more colourful portrayals Depp has created is one certain pirate captain who stalks the Caribbean Sea.
Now I have always prided myself in my ability to use words and my quick wit, but this time I was completely innocent of what I had written on Mme Noir's blog.
Last Sunday, while I was cooking brunch for the family, the hilarity of it all hit me broadside as my children were watching Pirates of the Caribbean; The Curse of the Black Pearl - for the at-least twentieth time.
It was then that my faux pas became clear to me.
I know that certain captain of the Black Pearl is named for a small bird that occupies most of the large land masses of the world.
My dear Gypsy pounced on that one when I mentioned Captain Swallow on her blog.
The porn version of the movie, of course!
I did not realise what she meant until I heard said captain's name mentioned during the movie - Captain Sparrow.
My children were not watching the porn version.
To that, I was reduced to laughing hysterically over my breakfast.
Cracking up over my omelette...
Crying in the bacon...
Giggling over my sausage...
Sputtering through my orange juice...
My children looked up at me, eyes round, "What are you laughing at, Mum?"
Dale!..i love your innocence..i'm in stitches reading this as i can visualize the moment you speak of when it hit you..lmao..
ReplyDeleteOf course i don't even know if there is a porn version with said Captain Swallow (snigger)..but there seems to be a trend of porn version of block buster movies around..like Shaving Ryans Privates..he he he!..
lol, I remember that comment and lifted my eyebrow, but didn't understand the entire context either because I haven't seen those movies either. Crazy because I think Johnny Depp is one of the finest actors out there these days and I really admire his style, attitude and independence.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about a possible trip west yet, but will keep you posted. And, if it does come to be - we sure do have to connect up.
I should have known better... I've seen the movie at least a half a dozen times!
ReplyDeleteMary's Pop-Ins...
The flick Epic Miovie has a parody of Cap'n Sparrow, and his name is... drum roll please... Captain Jack Swallows!
ReplyDeletehyuk!
Dale my angel - are you at all familiar with the term "Freudian Slip"?
ReplyDeleteSteph - maybe that's where I came up with it?
ReplyDeleteMargie - I'd have made a great study for Freud...
How could you not slip when faced with that vision!..
ReplyDeletehey Dale, call me!
ReplyDeletewe are having a gathering at our house in WIlmer tomorrow (Friday the 13th!). Anytime after 5 p.m., potluck, byob... in fact,here, to everyone,here is the invitation we sent out: (Should any overseas or cross country bloggers arrive, I promise to whoop and hollar and generally create in intense fuss over you)
The following is a public service announcement.
Good day!
Ian and Stevie are hosting a wee potluck gathering Friday, July 13th (tomorrow), just to spite the gods of luck - smug bastards that they are. We'd be honoured if you showed up and drank at us and ate some food (anytime after 5 p.m.).
Weather permitting, we'll have a fire and for anyone so inclined, there will be ball hockey at the Wilmer Forum at 7 p.m..
It's BYOB (which we are hoping still means bring yer own booze). And potluck, which means bring some food you are particularly talented at preparing (or unwrapping) that will bring luck to all who partake of it.
Children are always welcome, but please do not leave them behind. All leftover children will be fed Red Bull and given a free puppy before being delivered home to you.
Food and drink (some with alcyhol and some wiffout) will be offered, prepared, accepted and consumed all evening.
Feel free to invite friends, or enemies, should you feel a need to keep them close at hand.
Please RSVP so we know how many victims... er... guests to expect.
Thank you.
Bob the Aardvark, and Stevie, the, um, Stevens.( I need a cooler name).
If this had been a real public service announcement, you would have been
charged a $50 service fee. Consider yourself fortunate.
Dale, that is a great story had me in stiches. Thanks for sharing, as always!
ReplyDeleteStevie - boy i wish i could come to your party, sounds like it would be a thrill. Great invite. Hope all who joins has a grand time!

ReplyDeleteTossed you completely over the edge? Dale, either we have significant language differences, or you're just a very naughty person.

ReplyDeleteOh, Johnny Depp.....*swoon*
I agree Gypsy - naughty it is. Must be something to do with all that fresh air.
