Yarr!
Pullin’ into me driveway, I
find pirates at the front door! A fine way for the little ones to welcome me to
port and get me startin’ on another one of me wife’s crazy adventures. Stepping
out of me land lubbers mode of transportation me shipmates quickly inform me that
it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day and those who dress in full pirate regalia get a
dozen free Donuts at Krispy Kreme!
The scoundrels pull out a
pirate’s coat, captain’s hat and eye patch, which I’m forced to put on at the
point of a plastic sword. Embark
we must, for a bounty of sugary substance.
Once there, me saucy wench
plunders four-dozen “Hot Now” donuts. At once me crew be sailin’ fer homeport.
While on the high seas me
first mate asks “Aarrr! What’s going on with this year’s Halloween contest on
