I’ll be takin’ yer order

Greeter at a local fish restaurant.

Arrr, I’ll be yer hostess fer tonight, ya scurvy dogs!

He’s life sized. I considered asking Uncle B to take my picture with him, then I remembered I don’t publish pictures of myself and that made me sad.

Then I remembered I hate pictures of myself and I was not sad any more.

This whole coast was heavily, heavily involved in smuggling in the 18th C. Which tells us commodities were overtaxed in Britain then, too. It was so pervasive in the population that sometimes even the churches were used to store contraband.

I once asked our best local historian why even the vicar was in on it and she said, “Oh but it was so much nicer than what they did before – piracy.”

Nobody had Maggie Smith in the Deadpool. Goodbye, ma’am. Watch some clips.

Have a good weekend!

Dame Maggie
Quite fetching when she was younger.
Carrying her parts to perfection when she was older.

Another one I’ll miss.
RIP your ladyship

PS tried to find the right title, if it’s not Ladyship, forgive the Yankee Doodle Moron.

Stoaty—you could always create Stoaty Weasel in the style of Flat Stanley. Then we could see you in all those interesting places you and Uncle Badger visit.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
