pirates of the caribbean : College Candy

Avast me hearties! We realize that most people don’t know how to talk like a pirate (that is the one college class they don’t offer…yet…), so we thought it was important to teach you some of the more basic terms to get you through the day; the words and phrases you would hear most. And since today also happens to be a Friday, we thought incorperating those pirate phrase basics into pickup lines for the bar would be ideal. Lord knows some drunk boys are gonna use these.

So, courtesy of TalkLikeAPirate.com (yes, that is a real site), we bring you:

10 Pick Up Lines for Guys on Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I Think I’ll Rent My Own: Movies Everyone Adores…Except Me

June 16, 2008 - 5:30 pm By Olua - Washington College

Irritated With Indiana Jones waving at me at least once a day from billboards or the radio or the TV, it’s clear that the season of summer blockbusters is upon us.

Usually, I don’t want to see any of the summer blockbusters. The fact that I want to see a handful is pretty amazing. See, I’m not really a movie person. My girlfriend is, and we tend to clash; she loves to watch two or three movies in a day, when that’s usually my ratio for the week.

And then, when we do agree, there’s the fact that there are some movies that no matter how popular they are, I just don’t like them. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of flak for this countdown list, but here are some of the movies that everyone seems to love that I just am not overly fond of.

10. 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now, this is on the top of the list because I really DID enjoy it, up until Hal…well, you’ll know when you see it, if you haven’t already. The movie pretty much lost all interest to me after that. I stopped being concerned about David and totally fell asleep during the outrageously long trip sequence. In fact, it always puts me to sleep, so maybe I should buy a copy just to have on hand when the insomnia hits.

9. Pirates of the Caribbean. Now, hold on before you jump down my neck. I adored the first Pirates, and it’s definitely on my list of favorite movies. But the sequels bored and kind of irked me.

8. Saving Private Ryan. I’m not saying it’s not a GOOD movie. I just didn’t enjoy it. I think maybe it was because when it came out, I was at the age that a movie that started the way SPR did was not something I could handle. Now I’m totally okay with it, but not enough for me to voluntarily add it to my Netflix Queue or anything. Read More »
