September 26, 2002

So a bunch of Irish folk are taking another shot at a Ulysses film. I sure hope it's better than Nora was. They have some production drawings here, including a very naughty Molly.

The comment box has vomited up an excellent pirate glossary.

Me—A piratical way to say "my."
Rope's end—another term for flogging. "Ye'll meet the rope's end for that, me bucko!"
Shiver me timbers!—An expression of surprise or strong emotion.

Apparently September 19 really was National Talk Like a Pirate Day. They mentioned it on NPR, but I wasn't sure if they were serious. Oh well, next year.
