When Bam Bam finally "nailed" Pebbles do you think she laughed at what the steroids did?

What if Verne Troyer and Pam Anderson made a video?

If a reality show is based on a guy chosing between 20 hot models, why doesn't the guy call it a draw NOT choose one and invite some of his friends over for hut tub hanky panky? I know Wally would.

Everyone knows that the best way ta talk like a pirate, be ta act like a pirate.

And everyone knows that method acting be the best and most convincing way ta do acting.

And everyone knows that method acting is ta try ta be as much like what ye'r trying ta act like.

So if'n ye want ta talk like a pirate, the best way to start is by drinkin' like a pirate!

Shiver me timbers!

The pirate eye patch was not about eye damage but rather eye sight and effective pillaging.

Sailors (stereotyped by the eye-patch-wearing pirate) who often went above and below deck, used eye patches to have one eye adjusted for the top deck and the other eye already adjusted for the darkness when suddenly going below deck.

This quick night vision was much need when raiding, fighting down below or locating the goods below deck.

Uh, jrw1621, are you getting your medical info from Salanis again? The nerves controlling the iris muscles of the two eyes are hooked together at the brain stem. One eye sees light, the other iris contracts too. Try it and see. You can experiment with your cat or dog. They're wired up the same.

I sailed with people that would take a bottle of something, 500ML, 750ML, quart, whiskey, rum, whatever, unscrew the cap, look at it, proclaim "We won't be needing that anymore" and toss the cap over their shoulder.

Unless we're talking about One-Eyed Willy. Now that man was a pirate! He never said 'die'. Just leave his share of the booty alone!

Psst... Hess... I think frw might have been making "a joke".

Either that, or sailors 300+ years ago new a bit less about medical science than modern doctors.

It depends on how much she got around. I mean if all you know is that one, well, then its the biggest she had. But if you remeber the god-awful teen Flinstones of the 80's Bam Bam wasn;t that big and it would indicate he wasn't on riods. Pebbles on the otherhand, did inheriet her Mama's body, so she very well may have gotten around. I mean every girl goes through that "bad boy" stage right?

Then in that universe, Tommy Lee and Brigett Powers would have a video

and thats why they always pick some self-absorbed pretty boy instead of a true man's man like Wally. Becuase if they put Wally in a mansion with 20 hot models and a free bar, he would never send any of them home, he would call his buddies and none of the women would cry becuase they got sent home. The drive way and garage would be a lot worse for the wear, but I garuntee everybody would have a much better time.

Nay. I know what 'appened to the other eye. - taps vest pocket-

And don't let no landlubber doctors aboard this ship! Dey be full of insights about things I don't want to be hearin' about! Irises and brainstems! Bloody hell! No dog worth his salt is going to let you put an eye patch on him. I say, have him walk the plank!

Dr. Hess may be a number of things, but landlubber isn't one of them. In a previous life he was an honest to goodness professional blue water sailor.

My wife used to sign me up for those shows to try and get me out of the house. You guys are on the right track. We used to have parties where neighbors would call the cops or fire dept depending on what we were doing, and more that once the stayed for a bit for some food and see if something would really get out of hand. If someone else can pick up the tab, we might as well get a couple ambulance crews to because it's really not a good time until someone gets hurt.

So this guy walks into a bar and sits next to a pirate who has a peg leg, a hook where his right hand used to be, and an eye patch. The guy asks the pirate how he lost these various parts.

The pirate says, " A shark took me leg off at the knee when I was a wee lad, and I got used to it pretty quick. Then later a barracuda took me hand when I was trying to get him in the boat without a net. Then I lost me eye when a seagull pooped on it."

The guy's jaw dropped and he exclaimed, " I can see a shark taking your leg, and a 'cuda taking your hand, but how did seagull poop make you lose your eye?"

"Well, laddie, it was me first day wearin' the hook!"
