  • Breaking Rules


    Some rules are just made to be broken.  Like the rule about only eating at the kitchen table.  Just ask Tucker who is at present sitting in the living room floor with a bowl of ice cream that he's sharing with my dog.  He looks so happy that his Momi isn't about to scold him (although it kind of grosses me out that he's letting Simone lick his fingers ...)


     For almost two years I've been subscribed to the Xanga site of the Dread Pirate.  He has certain rules he expects people to follow over there.  First, you NEVER prop the Pirate.  That's an automatic walk off the plank.  Second, you NEVER link the Pirate.  For that you may be spanked AND planked.  And Finally, you NEVER NEVER EVER reveal any evidence that the Captain just might have a soft side hidden under his evil exterior.  You'll have to tune in tomorrow to see what torture he will have to devise to meet the trangressions I'm heaping one upon the other today.


    See he's done something of which I'm extraordinarily proud and I want you all to know.  He's taken the great risk of compiling a series of his essays into the Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls - ebook.  Yes, the man who removes his blogs within days of their being posted is actually making his work available for your PERMANENT collection.  And they are worth having.  So many things that I'd forgotten, or never knew he said are all there together for consideration. 


    I've blatantly stolen the graphic (hey, I've been learning from a master Rogue) which you can see in my sidebar.  And if I got it right, it's accompanied by a link to ebookmall where his book is available for purchase.  I'd say more in review, but its already stated beautifully in the ad you'll find when you follow that link.


    And be sure when you purchase your copy to email him and let him know that I sent you.

  • Ooo, you in trouble girl.

  • I must apologise haven't been back for a while, that man sounds interesting I must investigate .Cheers and hope you are well Portia I never sit at a table to eat, have a lap table and have to watch T.V. otherwise can't eat. We don't even possess a table, just as well we never feed visitors much

  • I'll go check it out

  • I prop the Pirate cos I'm an iconoclast by nature and I have this secret desire to annoy in humorous little ways. Sail on! Sail on!  Besides he leaves such flirtatious comments on my site (when we exchange visits) that he deserves it!

    Katherine Hepburn has just died. My favourite quote of hers is, "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun."

  • You are a good sailor, Terri

    no doubt about it!

  • Great post.  The joy of life deciding which rules apply to us, and which do not.

    Love and Light
