I considered this image for CityNerd warns 'The New USDOT Is Coming for Your "Woke" Projects,' a driving update on Throwback Thursday. Maybe next time.

I've named all my cars. I call my current one "The Black Pearl" after Jack Sparrow's ship.

I decided to cut Talk like a Straw Hat Pirate — 'One Piece' for Talk Like A Pirate Day off before I could include this. I just wasn't feeling like writing a longer post.

I have had the dentist's office play music from Pirates of the Caribbean when I have work being done for years.  When the following song came on, the dentist remarked how much she liked it even though she's never seen the movies.

Again, since I'm planning on replacing the CPU where I have been keeping my notes before the 30th, I'm posting them in installments here. This month's tweet threads promoting my blog behind the cut. )

Even though it had a better preview image than the videos I used in Talk like Redd for Talk Like A Pirate Day, this video had too much background noise for my taste, so I didn't use it at Crazy Eddie's Motie News.


Redd the Pirate has sailed into New Orleans Square. Check out video from her first day at the Disneyland Resort!

There has been talk of the new character Redd replacing Jack Sparrow in future "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. Disney Dan has a video of a cast member playing her as a walk around character in New Orleans Square.



I rather enjoyed her performance. As for who will play her in the movies, rumors center around Karen Gillan and Daisy Ridley. Either would work, but I personally would like to see Felicia Day play her; realistically I don't think she has much of a shot.

Over at Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I celebrated Mickey Mouse turning 90. Here, I'm posting the following Movie Math video and asking a question tangential to Johnny Depp being the star bringing in the box office.


In this box office recap find out how Fantastic Beasts 2 The Crimes of Grindelwald is a low-point for the Wizarding World aka Harry Potter franchise in its opening weekend November 16th 2018! JK Rowling and Warner Bros mess up, while Johnny Depp shines in China and worldwide! Also Instant Family, Widows & Green Book hit theaters. Plus industry projections for Wreck It Ralph 2, Creed 2 and Robin Hood for Thanksgiving weekend! Beyond The Trailer host Grace Randolph gives you an inside look at the weekend box office with an industry perspective! Be sure to make Beyond The Trailer your first stop for movie and entertainment news here on YouTube today!

My question was in response to what Grace Randolph said at 07:32: "[Johnny Depp] might not be anchoring any franchises in the near future, and maybe never again" -- on that note, Grace, what do you think of the rumors that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise will reboot without Depp, replacing him with Redd, the new pirate character from the rides?

No response yet.

Thought this was interesting news to share.


Rumor! According to our sources, Disney may be looking to replace Jack Sparrow as the lead of the Pirates franchise, in favor of Redd!

Given the right actress and script, I can see this working. Hell, I'd actually look forward to watching the movie.

At Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I celebrated today by posting The Captain vs. The Kraken for Talk Like a Pirate Day. Here, it's Offhand Disney's PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Secrets and Details.


Here are some things that you may not have known about the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. We delve into effects, ride changes, scenes, and the history behind all the memorable moments of this classic attraction.

Yesterday I wrote that I would post about the music and drink from Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 60 that I skipped so far here. The theme happened to be pirates, hence the Bang icon.

Here is Hans Zimmer Live 2017 - Pirates Of The Caribbean Medley - Leipzig - 24.05.2017. The cello soloist is Tina Guo.

Hans Zimmer - Pirates Of The Caribbean Medley (Jack Sparrow, Love Suite, Up is Down, He's a Pirate) - Hans Zimmer Live 2017 - Leipzig - 24.05.2017

Here's the recipe:
ANGRY PIRATE

1 oz. (30ml) Coconut Rum

2. Add ice to serving glass and pour mix over. Top with lemon lime soda.

I won't be posting a Midweek Cafe and Lounge this week, so probably no music until Sunday and almost certainly no drinks.

The Pirate Party first began in Sweden. However, soon the international pirate party movement took off.

The German Pirate Party won 8.5% of the vote in Sunday's Berlin state elections, winning its first seats in the state legislature.

The SDP and German Green party did well and will probably form a coalition, but the Pirate Party will add a new voice to German politics.

The party's platform calls for the decriminalization of downloading, free internet in cities and the legalization of marijuana.

It's not the first wacky party to make a splash in Europe. Jon Gnarr became Mayor of Reykjavic on promises of open corruption and a polar bear.
I know it's no longer Talk Like a Pirate Day here, but it still is everywhere between Denver and the International Date Line. That written, not all pirates say ARRR!
