The Mic is On: It’s About Pirates!

Filed Under Comments, SOB Business, Successful Blog | 241 Comments

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

We’re talking about Captain Hook, Bluebeard, Swashbucklers, and the rest. Playing pirates is always my favorite Tuesday Night Open Comments.

Tonight it’s about playing pirates like we did when we were kids:

pirate ships
jolly roger
pirate treasure
Captain Hook

And, we’ll talk about whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about pirates to share!

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

We’re talking about love between…

brothers and sisters,
sons and daughters,
aunts and uncles,
you get the idea…

We sometimes have problems with folks who share our spaces. They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Is that the way it was growing up for you with your siblings?

And, we’ll talk about whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring links about sibling rivalries to share!
