Requisite Post of Self-Examination...
Hi, I'm posting out of fear.
A vague, irrational fear that, though I am several miles safely inland, a certain blogger who shall remain namelss (though Jenn's last name is also the name of a wine used in a fairly well-known chicken dish. Begins with an "M" and rhymes with "Parsala") will actually manage to send pirates after me for not posting.
Again I think the logistics, geography and history make this unlikely; but why tempt Fate?
So here is the life-saving, pirate-warding post.
So, Jenn _arsala, call off your minions. You win, damn you, you win.
At least this round.

The fact that 3 out of 10 (or 30%, if you will) of your postings mention me by name is oddly comforting. You light up my life, Kit Monkey. You light up my life.

The pirates have been diverted. They are currently doing my bidding somewhere off the coast of Maine.
Have we been together long enough for you to buy me a present? If so, this might be appropos...

hmmm. Maybe we should trade, I'll get ya pirate t-shirt if you get me a Kelly Kapowski t-shirt.
Actually, I think I'd really dig the post-modern irony of wearing a Saved By the Bell t-shirt, although I never found Kelly as attractive as I think I was being told to by the media. I liked Jessie - right up to Show Girls.
But you probably should have a pirate t-shirt, shouldn't you...
OK, went to that site and the pirate shirt does, in fact, rock.
Now I will not rest until I know you have it.
Well, I may take a nap this afternoon, but aside from that - I will not rest!
Several days later and I'm still waiting by the door for my pirate shirt to arrive. Why, oh, why do you tease me like this? Surely you are aware of the gravity of this situation...

Here's the thing: I'm not exactly sure where your door is.
I've been sending pirate t-shirts to random LA address in hopes of hitting yours.
I'm hoping to prove that good intentions can actually bend the laws of probability.
Sadly this is a fairly expesive experiment. I've written a couple of grants, I'm just waiting to hear back from NASA and the Benevolent Brotherhood of Egrets (Minnesota Chapter).
I know you're emotionally walking the plank on this, if only there was some simple way of getting a pirate t-shirt to you...if only...
I'll forgive you because you make me smile. However, if you email me, at jennifermarsala@sbcglobal.net
I can arrange to get you my address so that you don't have to fill out all of the tedious grant paperwork. I'm a giver...
