Totally G-Rated, but Not Safe For Work!
Mostly because it’s silly—and there’s sound.
But, it’s Silly Saturday, you know. And this is in honor of my nephew, Wynn.
What you need to know about this is that my nephew, Wynn, acquired a tricorn hat on a trip to Williamsburg three years ago. He was six. Williamsburg is an educational opportunity, of course, and Wynn’s father told him he was now a Colonial boy.
Wynn’s uncle—the MotH*—had no such educational obligations, and he told Wynn that he, Wynn, was a pirate. The MotH and Wynn had a high old time stomping around, growling “Arrrrr” at all and sundry for the remainder of the week.
Now, surprisingly, this pirate business took an odd educational turn the following year. Wynn’s class was studying pirates, and the teacher mentioned how pirates used to make people walk the plank. The class was then asked to write down something a pirate would say.
Apparently, every other kid but Wynn wrote, “Walk the plank.”
What did Wynn write?
You guessed it!
“Arrrrr!”
The teacher was most impressed.
And the MotH’s shenanigans turn out not to be so uneducational, after all.
Therefore, in honor of Wynn, turn your sound on (but maybe not full blast) and watch this little Flash clip. (But, beware. It loops. And that way madness lies.)
