Fan: Jack Sparrow

The first Pirates of the Caribbean movie had most of the most quotable lines in the entire series. Here are some of my favorites.

It's not Jack Sparrow telling off his former crew members, or their response, but what he says at the end that I enjoy and occasionally use.

"But you have heard of me."

I'll let the last one speak for itself.

After watching this movie, one of my daughters would push my buttons by saying "Johnny Depp is a sexy beast."  She was 12 at the time, so I pointed out that he was old enough to be her dad.  That didn't stop her.  Besides, she wasn't wrong about him.

Grand Rapids Slutwalk

In yesterday's video post on Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I included the following video and commentary.

It is a movement against the belief that any aspect of a woman's appearance might explain or excuse rape.

Remember, the social component of sustainability is about promoting a just society. So is the movement described above.

Also, this happened in Grand Rapids? I'll have to search to see if this was the first one in Michigan. I'd be surprised if Grand Rapids beat out Ann Arbor.

I did some searching, and sure enough, it looks like Grand Rapids held the first slutwalk in Michigan. Congratulations, Grand Rapids, you beat out Ann Arbor, East Lansing, Detroit, and Ferndale in something progressive!

( Even better, the event received a fair amount of coverage. For starters, WOOD-TV 8, the creators of the first clip I embedded, followed up on their story. )
