Well I have been hyper busy today, but I didn't want to let one of my favorite holidays get by.

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so for today only, everyone gets to sound like Lew.

I really like the Pirate Translator.

I type in "Jon is an anal bus driver"

It then says, "Ahoy, Jon is an anal bus dri'er Gar, Where can I find a bottle o'rum?"

I remembered this thread from 6 years ago and since tomorrow is "International Talk Like A Pirate Day", it needed to be moved to the top.

In rememberence of Lew Pop.

Those were the good ole days. I couldn't wait to get home from work to read on POG.

It's a shame that folks move on!

I sure miss Lew, MM, and especially Jeff Baley! Remember the guy who parked his Prevost in downtown Manhatten for 3 weeks and got $1500 in parking tickets! That was a riot!

Jack,

The last I heard someone had posted on POG that he was down in South America or Central America and had gotten in trouble with the law. There's a surprise! That guy was nuts! He never attended a rally. His posts were so long that the vBulletin software would time him out. What a character!

That's so true Tuga. I would check POG several times a day just to see what the resident clowns were up to. As for Jeff, he and his wife spent a day at my house so I could help him repair his generator. He was very funny and entertaining. An interesting person to say the least.

Denny,

If you remember, he had a wife and a girlfriend!

Talk about burning the candle at both ends!
