Pirate Wimmen of OS - Dancing for Dakini (updated w/ tunage)

Rate: 40 Flag


After today's failed and incredibly weak sneak attack today by Private Trudge Slurry, we are now ready to wage war on our own terms. As is the way of the world.

Of course tonight's festivities is in honour of Dakini Dancer who we lost earlier this year. Her spirit lives on in the Pirate Wimmen. Tonight we rise again in her honour. Please visit Robin Sneed's tribute to Dakini tonight

Josie Ortez aka Dakini Dancer

So tonight we dance and we celebrate one of our own. And we teach those boys a little reminder lesson at the same time. ~wink~

Pirate Wimmen, it's Martini Time!!!

To get started, please step up to the bar and help yourself to a cocktail.

 Martinis are the house specialty, but anything goes...as you well know.

martini_drinks_blue_lemon_twist by you.

 

Next, choose the slave boy of your choice to administer your pedicure and settle in for an evening of pampering. Personally, I recommend Tinkerertink. He's got the touch. He's an expert pedicurist. 

Ready your feet for a night of carefree dancing...

While you are lounging and being serviced, we'll have Trudge bring around some nibblies for your dining pleasure.

Feed your soul:

Something savory...

 Something spicy...

 Something sweet and juicy...

 And finally, for our entertainment, Dr. Trig, wearing teensy hospital greens only, will dare to repeat his heart stopping potato surgery.

Eek!!!

Finally, as you know, your General has been a little under pressure lately. So, I send you all these things with love and wish you much joy, laughter and dancing. I have every confidence that you will divide and conquer these infidels.

I have no doubt in your ability to Ross their Cindy's, Robin them of their pride and make them sneed their mommies while Owling in fear. IamSurly that you will defeat them and send them back to the barkinglot where they belong.

Sally forth troops. Victory is ours!!

But before we begin, let's all raise a chilled glass to Dakini and give each other a heartfelt Namaste.

 

Namaste!

And from Canada with love...

 I hope you all have found your place in the sun. And tonight? Go Native! 

I give Thanks to the Great Above

I give Thanks to the Great Below 

I give Thanks to the Point in the Center  

May All Beings Be Happy! 

I think it fits, don't you?

Hehehee, girl! Namaste! Cheers, good woman. Now, what can we do for you? xox
You said you were going to get something to eat...shall I be
expecting you at my door soon? I hope......
-Dakini Dancer May 09, 2009 9:47 PM
I could not in good conscious EVER take my cleaver to THAT potato!

Rock on pirate wimmens!
JK, I think "Victory Garden" should have a special edition on the unique produce shown in your post!
as soon as I quit laughing and dancing and drink my martini....I shall report for duty, oh great General! For you, Josie! Cheers!
I can't quit staring at that damn potato! Dr Trig?? Report to surgery!
Onward Pirate Wimmen!!

Private Ross reporting for duty!
Haaaaahaaa! Okay - blue drinks - I'm in. Cheers all!
Wow, I didn't see produce like that at the farmer's market today. I am here in celebration of wimmen everywhere...toasting with a glass of red wine and some cold meds. Could be an interesting combination.
penis peppers prepare pirate princesses!


martini helps, too.
from Dakini whilst the wimmens were attempting to rassle the OS monarchy away..


"Escaped D's? Wouldn't that be me??? Apparently Trigster,
you didn't didn't read Nanatehay's post where I claimed the
right to be in charge, I am only allowing you and what's his
name to think you are.
Oh yes, bumblebees don't sting. Be nice and don't eat it."

(I'm thinking y'all should promote Ross to at least private first class)
Sweet Jebus, you've already castigated Triglet! That unit will not stand General, mark my words;[
nana...that's kinda mean to say Trig's unit won't stand...xox
Yes! For the boys, a Lina Wertmuller riding crop!
-Dakini Dancer May 09, 2009 7:09 PM

As I recall, Trig...Dakini knew how to use that whip....
To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. ~Agnes De Mille

pwoer to the the pirate wimmen in the name of dancin' Josie!
Dance dance dance!! xox
Is that a potato or are you just happy to see me?

Cheers!
General, are newbies welcome to join the rockin' and martini-drinking as apprentice pirate wimmen? if yes, i'm already halfway through my first cocktail!
Trey is on his way over in a dress and heels to serve you. He has been living in my dungeon and he has changed considerably. If the ladies want to, he may have his head patted. xox
new recruits! we are ammassin' a force to be reckoned with! I'm proudly dancing...
(and I really do know how to spell "power") think I'll just have another martini.....Nana, oh Nana.....the flamingo needs a cocktail, precious!
WOW! I like bein a Pirate Wimmen !!
WOOHOOO!!

.....ohhhhh slave boooooy!.....
pat pat pat...now dance in them heels, Trey!
Nana! Fab wants a cocktail! Now. xox
I can be your slave boy, walkaway...i'm mixed media...
femme et al, all OS wimmen are welcome to join the Pirate Wimmen. We do not discriminate!! Well, just where the slave boys are concerned. ;)

Welcome aboard everyone. I am just trying to make myself some pasta before I faint.

Squeeeeeeeeeee. Has anyone Squeeed yet?
Where's Cartouche???
Where's Zuma???

:)
What a lovely song!!! And Jay Leno seems to like it too, he's smiling!! Whooooo!!!

"Personally, I recommend Tinkerertink. He's got the touch. He's an expert pedicurist. "

Ahhhh, and I love you too General Brady.

*big hugs and pinches on the ass*

That's how we say I love you in my country of North Dakota.

~wanders away to get his medication~
cool, me hearties!
I'll have a vodka martini garnished with one of those "penis peppers" please. No marrow (if you don't mind). And perhaps Ablonde can bring along a couple o' lovely melons?
Lovely dedication to Dakini.

They're on their way....xox
I would recommend to everyone who remembers Josie and even those who don't but would like to feel the feelings she inspired in us to go to THIS BLOG and read, then scroll to the bottom and listen to this beautiful song that was written and performed in her memory by Lonnie. When he first did it I didn't have sound but I went back later.


http://open.salon.com/blog/lonnie_lazar/2009/05/23/song_for_dakini
I'm fully here in spirit! Rock the boats, me wimmen pirates!
Robin, I would be honored to have you as my slave boy ...
okay...walkaway....what can I get you? xox
You "ass"essment of the battle while imaginative is quite delusional. Too many martoonees? Is that how small they grow peppers in Canook land?
Tink, I'm first, precious...(see Master Sneed's blog) now if Nan will get me my martini.......
Trudge...are you speaking? I don't recall you asking for permission. xox
the keyboardist in Parachute Club went to public school with my brother... does that entitle me to free passage? or dancing?
(((Karin))) Yes the penis peppers would be great in a martini.

Fab, is nana shirking his duties tonight. A little slow off the mark. Best get the whip.
Robin, I don't ask wimmen 4 permission.
I don't think I've ever had a blue martini...come to think of it, I've never had a martini.
How have I never had a martini?
I don't know, walkingaway...but you're about to have one....
Brian, you know the routine. Don the apron, and grab the polish. Can you make WalkAway her first martini. I can't believe she's never had one. I think you know how. ;)

I am a little freaked out because Kerry's ol ONE EYE has suddenly appeared at the top of my blog for some reason. I think he's watching us. Gah
Walki- a truly good martini is the nectar of gods! You must try one...OH Nana, Walkaway needs a cocktail!
Trudge...oh Trudgehhhh. Do make yourself useful if you are going to talk....xox
I'm making walkaway's first martini....now....let's start here...
robin: WHAT did trudge say????

oh, may I please have a perfect manhattan? Served by a man with gorgeous hands? thank you.
walkaway...do you like floral infusions...jasmine, rose?
maybe citrus vodka with a jasmine infusion....xox
Trudge is simply talking...just that male blah blah blah...
rock on pirate wimmens.

FYI from Websters:

~wimmens: persons of the female persuasion with an acute case of penis envy.~

I knew y'all was a cute.
Ohhh I'm so excited!
Dancin, piratin and a martini by Robin...ohhh this heaven for sure!

ummmmm jasmine? let's try jasmine
@Robin, I don't just talk the talk; I walk the walk. And I'm walking 2 U.
oh Robin??/ yooohoo? While you're mixin'.. (I'll be waiting all night if I wait on one of those boys, Nan gets the whip!) .....
jasmine would be nice! Please?
And I hate Owl's job, she should be playin' pirate and Josie Dancin' with us)
@Cap'n does that mean your wit us guys?
Hey, where is Lonnie these days??
okay, walkaway....coming right up....xoxoxx

and Fab...I'll make you a martooni...

and TRudge....get your ass over here before I paint your town red. xox
Cap'n baby...I don't envy 'em...I got one...xox
JK...I think Lonnie was out of the country...
"I'm not entirely sure that I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk. "
Martooni it is! Would you like a little assistance with that trudge boy?
now, walkaway...here's a jasmintini...with a rose petal...xox
And Fab...yours with a dash of orange...jasmin...crisp...refreshing! xox
Arrrrr!!!!!!! I feel very happily pirate-y. I'm going to go say 'avast!' a lot.
Rich...Dakini said that, huh?

JK...what can I get you? xox
Ahoy, there! Zerry is the landlubber of the family. If you look carefully off your port bow you will see my clipper ship, the HMS Lauerman just coming through the fog.
Maties unite! Master Sneed was right! The eye was watching! General,.....what be yer orders?
Fab, invite Master Lauerman onboard for a drink....xox
mmmmmmmm I had no idea what I was missing.

Paradise in a glass .... Robin, this is amazing!
Avast, Robin, you reminded me of an old joke. I won't tell it all here but the punchline is that the little girl says "My mom says that as long as I have one of these, I can't get all of those I want."

Just one question. If y'all wrestled power away from Cappie as you claimed those many months ago, what are you revolting against now?
I'm glad you like it, walkingaway....
Be warned I like mine "stirred, not shaken." The crew's nickname for me is "Nanastey."
PS. Unrated, just 'cause I could. ;-)
Yes, Fab and Robin, invite Larry on for a drink ~wink, wink~

Think of the power we will wield once with him in our hold.

bwwaahahahahahahahha

(oops, do you have him yet? Gah, too soon right?)

Robin, I'll take one of those sage gin martinis please...Ooodles of olives. Merci beacoup. Or Beau Coup as it were.
okay, so i screwed up the punchline. that was one hell of a jasmintini...
AVAST!
Penis peppers are pretty popular I see.
I'll have mine stuffed.
::cough::

(thumbified for hoisting the black flag)
Um...Cap'n....because your dear darlings Trig and Nan and Trudge started up again!!! xox
Kerry...work it baby! Nanastitini....you swing it, I'll stir it.....
I hadn't read her birthday post before. It made me so happy. So serene. Maybe this will show me the peace that's been alluding me since her death.

Thank you.

d
Speaking of Pirates, we now have a legit political party to join Pirate Party, can we use their logo? I love it.

Here's some cheer in Dakini's name.

(Namaste, which by the way in Greek phonetically it means, we shall be).
Nanastey, will that be gin or vodka? And please...follow me, matie...
::snickering::
Yes, my darling JK...a sage martini....large glass, chilled...
Them is good boys. Best crew a seafarin' man could ask fer. You gals ain't got a chance, now go on home little ladies.
ooodless of olives....oohhh...I want to see you say that, JK....
I have been off drinking martinis and looking for "cumkuats" if ya know what I mean. None to be had. Where are those boys now...? Cartouche reporting for duty!
Thanks for that! I prefer gin.
Oh yes, and "SQUEEEEE!" (thank God I'm typing that. The last time I said it, I lost my voice. But that's a whole other story....)
Excuse me Pirate Wimmen, but am I supposed to feel this yummy or is it just Robin's martini?

(heehee)
Kerry, you are a man. This means that you don't get preferences. Gin, it is! xox
Cappie, come here little one. Let me teach you to behave.

Larry, Nanastini, I think we've found a new drink. Thanks. Now as one of the men, were you aware that you are now one of our slave boys.

Jodi - good one...spitting wine up. I think the peppers are the perfect accoutrement to Foody Tuesday.

denese, so glad that brought you some peace. Dakini would not want you to be suffering. She was a true spirit.

Stella - cheers, and thanks for the Greek translation. I mean efhareesta (please excuse my spelling. it's tough to swing a sword and spell in Greek)

Cappie, your idle threats really lose something with that baby avatar. Oooooh, watch out for the dirty diaper. ;O

((((Cartouche))) Try the sage martini darling. Robin's are the best.
um...walkaway....you must just be yummy...xox
My husband fell over when he saw your veggies.... ahem. Now he's ready for an OS reunion.
Sarge JK, pray you never learn the crippling effects of properly applied baby poop.

Good thing Dubya didn't find out. He'd have launched an attack on the SS Margaritaville and this time he'd have found WMD!
Sage martini, Cartouche? Onions are nice in that...I'm Sam the sober bartender tonight...apparently the men cannot pull it together...xox
I CAN'T wait any longer to post this Dakini quote for Kerry/Larry:

"In to the degree that I am in......maybe this Pitbull craparama
is Kerry's way of showing who's in charge. Or Not."
May 11, 2009 10:08 pm

I DECLARE THAT THE WIMMIN ARE IN CHARGE!

Martinis have been berry, berry good to me....
Since it's Foodie Tuesday I hope I am your galley slave!
Namaste! From the Divine within me, I salute the Divine within you.

March 25, 2009 02:47 AM
I'm digging Zerry tonight!
Absolutely Larry. Would you mind cutting up the potato. It seems Trig sort of wimped out.
Cartouche, I thought the bartender's name was bArry? Oh well.
Robin, nobody's every declared me yummy before...that could be an undiscovered side of me...woohoo!!

Maybe I need another martini, just to be sure ;)
i think you do, walkaway...just a moment...xox
Don't tell the networks, but this is SOOOOO much better than TV. If only they knew where their audience really went. hahahaha
"Well, I ain't no straight girl but I do agree with your suggestions.
-Dakini
Private Parrotdead, it's General Brady. You and your boys have really dropped your pants on this one. Nana seems to have run scared. Trig is barely breathing, and Trudge...well,.. he trudged out of here awhile ago. But you've got Larry going for you. He seems to know his role. I think you could learn from him. Now, please bring me my robe.
Cappie and some of his maties seem to have retreated...
Nanastey is having a martini..

(reporting conditions aboard)

When you do dance, I wish you
A wave o’ the sea, that you might ever do
Nothing but that.

We've lost a few early recruits. Designator, Iamsurly, Lea, femme, fab, mamoore (out on cold meds no doubt), Karin.

I assume they are all relaxing in the pedicure lounge for now.
For those that are a little lost over what this is is all about, this link will explain Dakini's passing and has links to ALL the posts that were written about her:
http://open.salon.com/blog/cartouche/2009/05/22/in_memorium_dakini_dancer
I'd hate to cut up THAT potato, someone might just be missing it around the time I finish slicing it julienne-style on the mandoline.
Ah, you didn't lose me for long--I was just bracing myself with several stiff drinks before returning.
Cartouche, thank you. I added the link above.

Larry, ouch. You have a bit of a sinister streak don't you now? Hmmm, we might be able to use you.
Finished that potato in short order. What's next on the agenda?
Larry, I can't believe you left yourself open like that....I am choking on the myriad of responses bouncing in my brain. Perhaps this is best answered as an open call.

Let me get a refill and get back to you. :)
JK...the new ones...they're soft!! A couple of flowery martini's and it's lights out! xox
I keep trying dance like Dakini but I don't think I've got that hip action down quite yet. I'll have to keep trying.

I'm pretty sure the martini's gonna make the difference ... or not(heehee) Perhaps, I should just settle for discovering my yummy side?
Oh, my, I'd like to burn my lips and tongue on one of those lil red peppers ... I'm sure Dakini would approve.

JK, honored I am you posted my song. It goes well with the "all those tears I cried" comment I left over at Robin's...
walkaway...you just keep right on trying...it's very enjoyable to watch...refresher on that drink? xox
Robin, Larry's make short order of the ...erm... potato and he's looking for more. Do you have any suggestions?
As one of the wimmen around here, I feel teary eyed and happy all at once. I think its the peppers and Lonnie's sweet song.
I remember well the night that Lonnie wrote this song. It still gives me chills and I am overcome with a sense of loss, longing and love....
"I can only attest to what I know. Lonnie IS a babe. That's all I'm saying...."
-Cartouche, tonight, just now on my blog!!!
Madame General Brady....Larry....can whittle carrots to feed the horses. xox
I was thinking after the potato you would want those peppers cut down to size.
Yes, Robin, I think it best we steer Larry towards vegetables and leave the delicate fruit alone. But he is so darn submissive. He makes the other boys, even Tink, look positively defiant. I lurve that. Do you think it is a Laureman trait? Maybe that is why Kerry stays away for long periods. Hmmm. Time to plot a real takeover of OS me thinks.
If Zeery is anything like his mysterious relative...we could take over OS in a night! Excellent plan, General...xox
Glad to see the party is going full tilt - Dakini would be pleased! (As am I!)
Larry, I was leaving the pornographic peppers out of the discussion, but if you don't mind sucking it up on behalf of the team. I think they garnish the martinis best full size, perhaps you can skewer them with some toothpicks and prop them up for the martinis.
A refresher would be lovely, thank you.
I'm feeling oh so very spoiled ...
I see one of my rowboats approaching with our ship's sextant, Thomas. How 'bout I leave this detail to him and I'll move on to the main course?
Ahoy there!

Can't stay (I'm being held prisoner by Long John Blacktooth), but thought I'd pay my respects to the beloved Dakini.

Have a drink for/on me!
all: i was out looking for bigger peppers. didn't find one. makes for a snarly mood for this pirate wommen.

pedicure lounge was full. robin, may i please have a double something?
@Spotted - be careful what you wish for . . . you've heard of body shots?
Larry, I am not sure we are ready to fully exploit your talents and expand your duties just yet, but that sexy ant thing with Thomas, now that we can work with. Are you offering up Thomas on the alter of the Pirate Wimmen? Are you trading his manhood for a chance to sit at our table?

Ok then!

~~~

Ladies, Larry's sending Thomas over. Anyone still waiting for a pedicure?

Robin, we need to put our heads together over this Larry thing. He's being awfully compliant. I am starting to think Trojan...no, no, no, not the condom, the horse. The big wooden thing. Are you thinking what I am thinking??
WHAT????????

That potato needs to remain intact!

'sides that I'll serve drinks.

ain't painting toes... well, maybe
femme, as soon as Thomas dons his apron and gogo boots, we'll put him right at your feet darling. Sorry about the peppers. And now Larry has chopped up the potato. Gah. Let me check the kitchen and see what I can come up with. It is zuccini season after all. ;)
Genitals Braided and Pervert Sneed, I'm still a-fightin. Wit Zerry/Larry (or whatever his name is) on yer sides, now I'll never make da OS cover. sob, sob, sob.
Delicious post, darling. I will never make it through the comments but I'm lovin the pics!!!!
Trig, darling don't you know how erotic painting toes can be?
Ladies...walkaway...femme...cocktails coming up...I do apologize for the delay...we had important military piratey type business to discuss....xoxox
femme...you seem like a double scotch woman....glenfidditch?xox
general jk: will await zucchini. some pirate wimmen are vegetarians, methinks. ;-D

is trig on his way with the cocktails?
oh, robin, thank goddess you're back.

yes, glenfidditch will be perfect. thank you, darling.
General....we're looking at a full tilt Trojan Horse situation...with Larry. If he was hung like a horse, the ladies might have some use for him...but as it stands...no...we need to capture him, tie him up...then the ladies can do whatever they want with him...xox
femme...here you go...in an antique crystal goblet...with the initials FF...xox
Gee - I step away to help kids with homework and the joint starts cookin'. Happy to see it looks like "sisters are doin' it for themselves" around here!
I'll leave the options as Thomas' (open) call and will defer to him on this matter only this one time, given his low status on the ship's chain of command.
Trig...you sincerely need to get painting...toes...lest everyone know what went on in that treehouse!!! xox
femme, I think I've swung a few Piratie Wimmen over to the vegetarian side with this post. Zuccini's are plentiful, let me pick you a nice one. Has Trig started on your feet yet? If he doesn't perform, try the whip. He seems to understand a little gentle force best.

Ah Trudgerie, so sorry about your lost hope on the cover. I know it was just a pipe dream at best, but sorry you had to have your bubble burst. I think it's time you get into your apron hon.
larry: i can't imagine Thomas complaining. we've never had a man we've used while tied up do anything but whimper with tears of happiness weeping from his quivering eyes.
Robin, this is such an appropo post for Dakini. All those luscious juicy pictures full of life...Thank you for doing this in such a creative and loving way. Dakini deserves every bit of this.
General JK, I think I'm seeing double tonight! I thought I was reading Robin's post but I was reading yours. Same comment applies, just change the name from Robin to JK!
Ok, I think I'm finally channeling a little Dakini. It's totally in the hips...and the martinis
which I'm possibly enjoying more than I should. (?)

Ohhhh the pirate life for meeeeeeeeemememeemeee
ok. we've been listening to the song for dakini and now i'd like to punch up the music for a few minutes.

go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pamUf1PTjdA

and see if that doesn't get your hips moving in sync with mine.

does anyone have a harmonica?
Robin, it's full tilt, but in which direction. North or south? Still, Larry's being way way way too compliant. I'm not used to this. Usually, it takes years of snide comments, failed expectations and sideways looks to get a man into this state. Do you suppose Kerry's been making him read the cover for too long?

We need to watch our flanks.
(sipping a martini and ogling the veggies) Cheers pirate wimmen!
our flanks be lookin' good, General.
i'm leaving with my zucchini for a few minutes ---he he he he -- but i'll be back. don't let anyone slurp my scotch.

and i'm taking my flanks with me.
Well, Trudge...think about it...the original Insurrection was about a few MEN always on the cover...hurts doesn't it? Perhaps seen that way, you will be on our side. xox
Mary K, you honour me by calling me Robin. Anytime

Femme, I've added the video for you. Nothing wrong with some good harp playing.

Cheers Juli!!

Fab, our flanks to look pretty darn good, don't they?
We will test him. Let me think for a moment...Owl...how can we test Larry? xox
fab...."do" look, not "to" look.
Another martini, General?
I wanna be in the pirate wimmen, too! When do we get our ship???
(((dharma))) I missed ya peeking in there darlin'. Glad you liked. I think the potato got cut down to size by Larry. We have some zuccinis now tho.
i'm really glad my parents named me lonnie and not larry at this point.
I'm reading the Morse code of the signal lights and it looks like First Mate Joan wants to join you over here for a drink. Do you have any problem with my sending one of the crew members back in the rowboat to get her?
Okay kids. My toes are painted and so is my liver. I need to go walk the dog and then meditate on Dakini before I go to sleep. She was a lovely human being, soul, artist, writer and spirit. Let's not forget that. G'night all and thank you for letting me participate in this wonderful remembrance and celebration. When you turn out the light tonight, ask her to pour some on you and us all...
I will dedicate my next belly dance performance to Dakini. (If you're in or near NY City, it will be on October 23rd. PM me for details.) Meanwhile, I'll pour another half glass of Cabernet (I never have more than two on week nights, and have already had 1 and 1/2) to toast her blessed memory. Party on!
Hmmm . . . perhaps a pledge of fealty? I think he needs to sign some articles . . . yeah - I remember that from the movie.
Frankfurter Crown anyone? I've got oodles to share... even a Tofu Frankfurter for the General.
Larry, no problem. You and Thomas stay put darlin', no need to worry your pretty little head. We'll send out our own turbo zodiac for Joan. Pirate Wimmen have bitchin speedboats.

Robin, we need to prepare for Joan. We'll need a suitable martini to greet her with when she boards. Oooh, and maybe a new hat. Someting Piratie. I've added some new zucchini's to the post, and I've even figured out how to spell them.

Yes, fab...another martini would be nice. ;)
Ha, still here, wimmens. Had some man's work to do. It's gonna take more than a few obscene veggies to win a revolt. Margaritas are a good start.
I HAVE to pack it in. As I wrote on Robin's post:

"Okay kids. My toes are painted and so is my liver. I need to go walk the dog and then meditate on Dakini before I go to sleep. She was a lovely human being, soul, artist, writer and spirit. Let's not forget that. G'night all and thank you for letting me participate in this wonderful remembrance and celebration. When you turn out the light tonight, ask her to pour some on you and us all.."

Love to all of you who participated in this celebration. I'm sure Dakini is swirling bright, white light and laughing out loud at our antics! xoxo
General Cartouche, thank you for seeing clear through the confusion of battle to the point...once again. Dakini is definitely with us in spirit tonight. I hope we make her proud with our united stand and peaceful triumph. G-nite and God bless. Sleep well.
We'll prepare a special chair for her....and yes, a hat...velvet with lace and feathers...and a Wenchitini...xox
Goodnight, dear Cartouche...sweet dreams. xox
@ C Berg, R U sure U want to join them? Their ship is about to be sunk ( a little foreshawdoing).
I'm hoping that you didn't have any kind of premeditated mutiny planned with Joan and the good ship Lauerman. I noticed lately she's had really good rapport with my sailors.
@ Larry - Mutiny? I think not . . . but a wise move by the General - it's not as if you've any collateral to leave with us . . . better to transport the good Lady Joan by safer means. Beside - it all but guarantees the safe passage of our boat.
C Berg, you've always been a Pirate. We was just waiting for you to show up.

Larry, we can't discuss our secret plans with you. Joan is really the ultimate Pirate of the Pirate Wimmen. I am but a mere humble servant in her army. As for you and you the good ship Laureman, prepare to be boarded.
You pirate wimmen sure know a good thing... I think I'll skip the penis penne and just have a nice glass of red wine. A Graves, please thank you. I'm on a liquid diet.
I'm just sayin'... if Joan shows up, I got some Dakini's for her.
Poor poor trudge, poor lost trudge. Someone get Trudge a realitini. He's been out in the sun too long.
I fear I may need a slave boy to carry me home tonight. This is one pirate wimmen that is no shape to steer her own ship.
Thank you for the song...dear JK....xox
I can carry you home, walkaway...xox
Dang - now THAT was the 80's! Cool song, though.

I don't feel sorry for poor Sludge - I think he's feeling a might lonely . . . if he would just capitulate instead of sulking in his imaginary world . . .
Dancing, dancing on the moon....xox
I hate it when I have to leave a party before it winds down . . . party on all . . .

Party on, Dakini!
Apparently some of you 'merikans never heard these Canadian classics. ::gah::

No wonder your country is in the state it is.

Owl, I wont' be lasting long. Exhausting few days as you now. This was a good diversion.
I've got seven more payments on that ship. A mutiny would finish off my credit rating and I'd have to return to my day job. Maybe we can do a deal--I've got some great navigation charts for safe passage through the Northwest Passage. Perhaps one of you would like to study them with me in your cabin.
goodnight, dear Owler...sweet dreams...xox
Larry! No one wants to see your 'maps.' Now...make yourself useful. xox
O.K., if navigational charts don't interest you how about a tattoo? A shaman taught me how to create beautiful tatoos using the juice from red peppers. Still have those peppers around?
Oh, Larry, that is so cute. Maps really are the sailor's etchings.

As for navigating the Northwest Passage. YOu get your 'merkan mittens off those Canadian lands. We won't be parting our seas for you, no sirrie Bob. We have rightful claim to that virgina land and all the secret treasures. And besides, we are using the icebreaker for margarita's tonight. Whoohoo.
I think about Dakini so often, and it is nice to know that the post I wrote in honor of her has been viewed by thousands of people from all corners of the world. I read it and watch the video often, each time I recite the mantra I am filled with something, peace? I don't know, but it feels good!

In case you missed it back then: Om Tare Tutt Are Ture Soha
My my Larry, you are the creative one in the family aren't you. No wonder Kerry keeps you under wraps.
Well, was wondering if the Larry guy should have a patch on that eye?
Thanks for the compliment General! I've had my share of put downs from Zerry that I don't have any talent, but I keep soldiering (or sailoring) on despite all of that.

Now regarding the prior offer, I can see where you're coming from on the Northwest Passage. I do have a set of six Kabuki steak knives and a decent map of the Strait of Hormuz, if that would allow me to avert any mutiny.
I linked your post on my blog, Ablonde...xox
I have been here for quite some time, and I am starting to get thirsty. Someone show me to the bar, I am making my own drink. Robin deserves a break.

Brian B, I will dance with thee.

Cap'n- we use WWW.DICKIONARY.CUM

The General has inspired me to enhance my name, (from tai, to Ms Tai).

Larry, I'm glad your still here. Where's Joan? I could use some good advice. Of course, no shortage of pirating wimmens here.
A sad effort at subterfuge, Larry. "Hey, girlys... ya'll wanna come on in heer an a lookit my MAPS...?" Har.

We love you, though. We'll let you live.
ooooh, generalissima! the photo of zucchinis is gorgeous. of course you found some with flowers -- feminine zucchinis! lovely.

and that rockin' video -- i am grateful beyond words.

now, where's that slave boy with the massage oil?
Larry, Zeery loves to torture by silence.

Ms. Tai...I'll make you a drink...what'll you have? xox
femme...i'm afraid I'm the only slave boy around...the men...were a bunch of limp noodles...
Robin: Thank you. As long as it is a double, and creamy...White Russian? B-52 on the rocks?

(Al though, I've never had a martini, and they do say you should try everything at least once.)
Oh, c'est bonne, mon Generale! Those boyos are so weak and pitiful. Perhaps they need some of that produce.

(the penis potatos are priceless!) I will steal that.
Ms. Tai...there is a white Godiva chocolate martini...
the rim of the glass is dipped in dark chocolate...Godiva liquer, creme de cacoa, vodka, half and half....
Last time I spotted Joan she was on the aft deck engaged in pirate politics with the guy you usually keep in the bowls of your ship. He told me that he was from Texas originally.
Robin, you are divine.

(Guess that is the last we will see of Joan?)
femme, of course they are females. The female form is so much prettier.

Dharma,..dance on sweetie,

Stella, good point. Were I good with Photoshop, I might try that, but alas, I am not.

Ablonde, thanks for the link. There is another Tara connection in an earlier Dakini post as well. If you look at my banner, you'll see the Tara mantra and Tara as well. I connected with her while at the ashram and have adopted the mantra. It seemed like a bit of kismet tonight as I kept running into earlier references that went over myhead at the time.
Larry, who you calling a Hormuz? eh???
larry: not to be a snarky english major here, but it's "bowels," darling, same as intestines. bowls is what we puts our pirate wimmens' rice puddin' in, sweetie.

robin, you are the prettiest slave boy i've ever laid eyes on. and i'm so jealous of that chocolate creation you made, i may have to toddle off to my own kitchen and get something similar.

then it's off to reading and sleeping in my nest since i have to get up and drive to LA tomorrow in the predawn hours.

i have enjoyed heartily my first (of many, i hope) pirate wimmen dancin' parties with you lovely OS ladies.

kisses and thanks to all.
Ms. Tai, enjoy your cocktail. It sounds pretty yummy.

Zuma, please feel free to borrow anything you like from my blog. Anytime General.

Larry, "originally from Texas?" hmmm. Does Joan need a drink? I find politics usually goes better with gin and olives and a blindfold. Just sayin'.
Oh Lordy, I've forgotten my rank. What was IIIIIIIIII?
General, one of your young recruits said she'd like a tattoo. Before I agree to this I want you to know that you and the other senior officers have first dibs.
goodnight, dear femme....sweet dreams, sweet chocolaterumlaced dreams! xox
and those thanks go most especially to my gal pal Gen. Janie.
mwah atcha.

shiver me ... somethings.
Cap'n Sneed told me there were drinks to be had here! Who's womaning the bar?
General, I think Joan will skip the drink. She has to be on her toes with this guy--he just tried to give her shoulders a massage.
Natalie..I think you're NNP in Residence.
Nat, I'll make you a General too. We need someone to shore up the downunder flank. (does that sound just a little weird or what?) Carry on and welcome back aboard.

Larry, How considerate. But do not mistake her youth for helplessness. there are no helpless Pirate Wimmen. If she is giving you that impression, she's playing you. I think I know who it is. Best to strap yourself in, it could be a bumpy ride---but it will be fun. ;) Sailor on.

femme, so glad you had fun. Be sure to tune in next time.

Speaking of bed, I think I am off. I've been trying to leave for half an hour. But Zuma's just posted, so I must go check things out on the Westest Coastest.
Who else, Coyote...me, Sam the sober bartender...what's your pleasure?
Mitts off Joan, mister! xox
Zarey, I could talk to you about strapping one on...
General Robin, I am off to bed. Zuma's got her flank well covered. Natalie is pulling up the bottom and I know you have the whole party central in full control. Keep an eye on that Trojan Horse. I am still wary of Larry. A little leary of lauerman. You get my drift. ;)

Goodnite and namaste all. Tink and Trig will be by to clean up in the morning.
General, your young recruit also said I would like meeting the other three female crew members that she shares her cabin with, so I'll be heading below deck just now and I'll be back to negotiations, plus bright-eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow. It's clear that Joan has the situation under control so I won't worry beyond this point in time. Perhaps in the morning you will consider my offer of the six steak knives and my second map, even with the negative Hormuz association that comes with it.
I'm so glad we had this time together,
Just to have a laugh, or sing a song.
Seems we just got started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say, 'So long.'

sweet dreams, sweet friends....xox
JK- Your defenses are up. I think Larry is harmless, hanging out where all the action is...

Goodnight.
Goodnight, Robin. Nice poem!

(Goodnight John Boy, and Mary Ellen. Goodnight, all.)

It is time to go to bed, when good spelling and punctuation eludes me...
Of course I'm late, so I'll gladly accept clean-up detail.

But I did want you to know, Jane, I'd been by. Glad that you were generalizing this shindig. And this is the first time I've heard Lonnie's song, thanks for that. I don't think I have to say how awesome that man is.

OK, show me where the brooms and mops are, and I'll get started. Somebody is gonna have to move Trudge and Tink though - I've got a bad back......
Bill, so glad you stopped by. We need you this morning. The clean up from this shindig is going to be a bear.

While on your rounds, please see if you can find Larry. We lost him below decks last night. I am afraid what Kerry will do when he finds out what the pirate wimmen did to his brother (or what he missed out on). If you find him tied up wearing only a pirate shirt and pink toenails, please snap a few pictures before you cut him loose. And then for God's sake, toss him some clothes. We need to keep this sort of thing quiet or they'll shut us down. ;)
Oh my, the semi naked mens, with they bits of clothing and hot pink feather boas and mules! They litter the very decks what they be cleanin' come noon.

Cookie is preparin' a vast cauldron of mock chicken of the sea soup and bakin' fresh bread to heal the hung and to retrieve the over!

A sharp and stingin mornin' to all of ye!
all pirate wimmen and men who volunteered:

'tis a fine morning indeed. larry, if you're missing that sextant, know that he's in my guest room, recovering. he was just administered a vitamin injection and should be conscious soon. i'll need to keep him until i have a replacement. you should interview for the sextant position forthwith.

i've had a bloody mary and had my new photo taken for OS avatar. will post soon. if you perceive a sort of -- je ne sais quoi -- Cheshire cat-ish look, well, you'll know how last night turned out.

let me know when the detritus is removed from deck. we'll be a'sailing someday soon.
I'm back and thanks for great time! I made a number of new friends last night amongst your crew. See my post for more.
What a great celebration of DD/Josies life! OS truly is a community and I feel privileged to be a small part of it. Wow.

I'll probably have more comments once I read through this but wanted to say that I just watched/listened to the Bonnie and Kim vid which was beyond cool and appropriate. I saw Kim Wilson, Jimmie Vaughn and company, the Fabulous Thunderbirds Labor Day 1993 not long after Stevie Ray left us here.
They put on a celebration of Stevie's life that night that was beyond incredible; PA turned up to just short of deafening and Jimmie played his white strat like I'd never seen before.
I think now that memory will be stuck in my mind next to this party that you and Robin put on for Josie.
Simply awesome!
(Now send back my Tink if your done with him)
“A monarch, when good, is entitled to the consideration which we accord to a pirate who keeps Sunday School between crimes; when bad, he is entitled to none at all.”

How did you get the photo GordonO's red penis??????????

God Bless ya Dakini. We all miss you.

Rated (NOT! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
I'm sorry I missed this. I wasn't at OS long enough to really get to know Dakini, but I can tell from the response to her from the Pirate Wimmin that she was a unique and blessed presence.
~wanders in, broken and bruised, pink feathers all through out his hair~ Who said painting a flamingo's toes would be easy!! EEK!!

~grin~

I'm sorry I wandered off, wifey threw me an issue involving Windows and Messenger and well, Bill Gates won't reply to my email for a fix!! ~GRRRRRRRRRR~

A grand celebration for a grand lady!!! ~hugs throughout~

Hey, Trig, wait for me!!

~runs off stage left, Jay Leno still smiling~
I just found this thread. Do these gatherings occur at any specific times or just whenever? I'd love to join the pirate wimmin one of these days. I'm new to OS but sensing that y'all are my type of folk...

Condolences to all on the loss of your friend, Dakini Dancer. It sounds as if she was an amazing person.
wow, some of you are still here, or were.

General Zuma. Well done. As usual.

femme!!! what more can I say. :)

larry, you really do look great in pink.

Trig, I think Josie was here with us through the night, and smiling.

KoB, rate it or suffer.

Max, you would have liked Dakini. She had a way about her.

Tink...well done. You are my favourtie slave boy. Come here darlin'. Let me give you a smack.

Shootmenow, welcome to OS. All wimmen of OS are part of the Pirate movement. We do not schedule these insurrections, they just sort of happen when things get a little tense. Stay alert, keep your snark sharp, and climb onboard anytime you see the Pirate Wimmens afoot. I hope you like martinis. ;)
