1. You gotta wish the above Birthday Pirate a 'Happy Birthday' AND .....

 

2. You have to post a funny picture or tell a funny story about 'The Moop Along' aka Pete.

 

3. Don't know Pete but wanna play anyway? Well post a funny joke/pic (family friendly please).

5. Winner picked by a random number generator and for an unspecified geocoin in my stash of stuff.

(Moderators, I will pick a winner and then report the thread to be shut down within 24 hours of winner being picked).

This be tha story of a Moop along Pete

Pirate by nature and quite indiscrete

He been walkin one midnight under moon full as cheese

When he heard him a rustlin of the limbs in the breeze

 

Who goes he be callin but none was replied

I be bilgen yer belly if ye tryin ta hide

from the shadows a lassie stepped onto the trail

Pale in the moonlight and seemin quite frail

 

Whar ye be going this hour she said

Pete was a startled seemed she'd rattled his head

His peg was a shakin no monster scared he

But a lady by moonlight he was haunted by she

 

She smiled like a faery and questioned again

Whar ye be headed with none of yer men

I be seekin a treasure slipped across Mad Pete's tongue

Before he could stop them those words he had sung

 

His GPS scabbard hung neat by his vest

A golden medallion hung low near his chest

The lady named Sonja waved her arm like a wand

And Pirate Pete's days as The Moop had begun

 

Was it vision or creature caught Pete that late night

No other could voucher what captured Pete's site

Some say he found treasure as he cached all alone

But Moop he just smiles Nary answers to none

 

So if ye should cross into Moop Alongs path

Can't say if the outcome will suit ye at last

He be sportin medallions he'll trade fer yer hide

But be wary I tell you....... he's a pirate inside

 

Happy Birthday Pete. Can't say as we knows ya, but can't say as we won't.

A very Happy Birthday to The Moop along...

 

Hopefully we can raise a smile with a pirate joke...

 

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.

 

The seaman asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies, "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."

 

"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."

 

"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.

 

"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?," the sailor asked incredulously. "Well," said the pirate, "it was my first day with my hook"

Happiest Birthday MoopAlong!!

Seems there was a treasure ship on its way back to port. About

halfway there, it was approached by a pirate, skull and crossbones waving

in the breeze!

 

"Captain, captain, what do we do?" asked the first mate.

 

"First mate," said the captain, "go to my cabin, open my sea

chest, and bring me my red shirt." The first mate did so.

 

Wearing his bright red shirt, the captain exhorted his crew to

fight. So inspiring was he, in fact, that the pirate ship was repelled

without casualties.

 

A few days later, the ship was again approached, this time by two

pirate sloops!

 

"Captain, captain, what should we do?"

 

"First mate, bring me my red shirt!"

 

The crew, emboldened by their fearless captain, fought heroically, and

managed to defeat both boarding parties, though they took many

casualties. That night, the survivors had a great celebration. The

first mate asked the captain the secret of his bright red shirt.

 

"It's simple, first mate. If I am wounded, the blood does not

show, and the crew continues to fight without fear."

 

A week passed, and they were nearing their home port, when

suddenly the lookout cried that ten ships of the enemy's armada were

approaching!

 

"Captain, captain, we're in terrible trouble, what do we do?"

The first mate looked expectantly at the miracle worker.

 

Pale with fear, the captain commanded, "First mate.... bring me my

brown pants!"

One day a new cache was posted only about 3 miles away so Tom and I trooped off to try to find it. Well no need for bug spray as it should be easy. Yeh right. After about a half hour of looking I hear a voice calling me.

 

Beverly where are you?

Where are YOU?

I'm right here.

Where is here?

What side of the river are you on?

The right side!

I can see you!!

I can't see you Where are you? Who are you?

 

I had no idea who it was or where he was.

It ended up that it was Pete who had climbed a tree to see if he had to cross a river to get where we were. I convinced him he didn't and to come help us look. None of us ever found that cache either

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETE!!!

Ok, so let me tell a story. I'm obviously not playing in the cointest. I woke up early today. Why you say? It's Sunday, it's my birthday. Well, that's just too bad for me :laughing:

 

Gotta get the house cleaned up, parents and sister/BIL coming for dinner. Gotta get the dog to grandma's, then out the door by 9AM. Where to? Scouting fairgrounds for MWGB09 of course, what else. After that, it's volunteer duty at University of Michigan Fan Day. My mom's United Way charity auctions off signed merchandise each year to raise money at an Ohio State/Michigan day party. So, 5.5 hours in the middle of an open field, with thousands of folks clamoring over all of us, all day. Mind you, Ms. -E- suffers right along by my side :D

 

Home we go, in the drive 5PM. One of my worst sunburns, and my feet are killing me. Time for a break? Nope. Out to the mow the lawn, trim the fence line, and clean up the back yard? Back track a paragraph, parents and sis/BIL coming over. They arrive after I get all the chores done, so I can help my pops make dinner. Backyard hobo roast over open fire. Dinner and several cornhole games later, here I sit at nearly 10PM. Doing what?

 

Well, celebrating my B-day with Ms. -E- :D What else would I do with only two hours left? B) Oh, and the Vodka mixer she made me is a nice touch.

 

TMA

 

P.S. Steph, I didn't see this thread until AFTER I emailed you. We need to talk B):D

Well, I'm sure I have the most ammunition of anyone here :D

 

I'll just share a few...

Just a local town where this is the famous feature :D

Pete wanted to help out a friend and pick up a cache that they were going to archive. It started out simple enough, a walk through a soccer field to a brush line. It wasn't until we reached the brush line did we realize that the brush consisted of all thorns and briers. Well, Pete is not known for finding an easy way in. Straight line is always the fastest, right? I think the picture above speaks for itself :D

MWGB 2006

Wednesday night around the campfire. Someone accidentally drops a GCC ROT13 geocoin in the fire. Pete springs to action! He dons his mechanics gloves and dives in to save it. It's only fire, he says B) Seconds later he's only missing some arm hair and has saved the coin! Always believe, he'll do anything for a coin :laughing:

 

I'll be nice and finish with one of my fav pics of us B)

Happy Birthday Pete!
