Real Pirates wear Eyeliner!!

Okay here's another thought for you.  Do pirates carry eyeliner with them.  I'll tell you how I came to have this random thought.  Recently watched all the Pirates with my daughter one night and as I'm watching , now don't get me wrong. I love these films, I truly am in love with Johnny Depp, but here is what I noticed.

No matter what obstacle Capt. Jack Sparrow comes up against, whatever the doom laden peril it might be , the cracken, other pirates , squiddy Davy Jones, whomever or whatever, his eyeliner is perfect.  Does he carry it in his back pocket?  Is it hidden in his compass , maybe underneath it where we cant see the hidden compartment?  Maybe it's under his hat, wherever it may be it's always perfect, and apparently waterproof!

Also, do pirates have a secret hair salon they patronize?  I noticed that in part two Sparrows gritty locks were more tame , nicely quoiffed dredlocks, very smooth and maintained. I'll have to ask his hairdresser what product he's using to battle humidity.  LOL .  I guess pirates have to look their best too! 

I mean who wants a shabby looking pirate, right? And yes I know it's just a movie and we all know that the reliable make up people are right there to tidy up the eyeliner, but I have a habit of paying attention to detail and I don't think real pirates would have worried about reapplying their eyeliner or fixing their hair. There's a job in the film industry that is called Continuity, now I don't know who has this job or how much they are paid, but I would like to now put in my application or forward my resume to these fine folks.  Here's a example, next time you watch Moonstruck, pay attention to the scene with Olympia Dukakis where she runs from the kitchen to the front door to open it for Johnny Camarari her hair style changes from the wig she wears throughout most of the film to a much more relaxed style, that drives me bonkers, and its the same scene. she must have stopped at the mirror in the hall when we were  not looking and ripped her hairdo apart when we were not looking.  And Julia Roberts in pretty women , the morning after, crescent roll to a pancake in the same sitting. One I just noticed recently is a episode of the television show Angel, with the ever hot David Boreanaz, Angel goes thinks back in time to when he lived in the hotel he later buys as his headquarters for Angel Investigations,, a women has stolen money and is wanted buy the cops, she goes to the closet to show Angel the money after confiding in him of her dasterdly deed. Now mind you this flashback is set in the fifties, she opens the bag and what lies inside is a large amount of money, but alas, it's new money from the 1990-present day.  I mean really, where was the continuity person then, I mean most people would not notice that,,,, but yup, I did. I would have looked in the bag and said, OMG you used a time machine and stole money from the future, awesome dude!!!!! That's it for today kiddies. I'm off to the Great NYS Fair.  Take care and much love

Sweetened or Unsweetened

Ok, here is the issue that has been bugging the hell out of me for a while.  How many of you go to a restaurant or a fast food place and ask for Ice Tea, and he waiter or person behind the mic says, sweetened or unsweetened.

This is where I have a problem. You see there is no such thing as unsweetened! The general publics ignorance concerning this drives me nuts.  To have unsweetened tea it must first be sweetened. And because tea itself is naturally plain, it can not be unsweetened. You have to add elements for it to be sweet, like sugar.  I was driving through Burger Kind because I just wanted a Ice Tea.  The booming voice behind the big box with a speaker says, you guessed it , Sweetened or Unsweetened,,AAARRRGGGHHH.

I became irate and yelled back, "Look buddy, I want plain Ice tea.  I tried to explain that unsweetened would be plain ice tea, and that it's not sweet in the first place, yadda, yadda , yadda.
He did not get it, I so give up on the youth of today, and Im not that old myself. This leaves me no choice but to conclude that we are all doomed.
