Due to lack of votes, voting for Challenge # 6 is still on until Monday. For those of you who voted, if you could be dolls and pick one more favorite, and those of you who haven't voted, please vote for TWO favorites here.

Thanks, loves! I'll put up the new challenge once the votes are in :)

Have a beautiful weekend, savvy?

'ello, my pretty pirate poppets! Another wonderful batch of captions for you to chortle and chuckle over! You guys are all so creative and funny, and it always amazes me how at times each picture will unwittingly inspire a sort of theme, and yet you're all still so original with it!

VOTE IN THE POST BELOW THIS ONE BEFORE FRIDAY!



WILL: (stares at Elizabeth lovingly CLOSES IN FOR THE KISS...)
ELIZABETH: Did you get some work done? A nose job, perhaps?
-smlmedlrge

Will: I'm gay.
Liz: Oh my god, so am I.
Jack: (off screen) Like any one's surprised.
-melamserious

Elizabeth: Will, I have to tell you something. I - I'm a lesbian. I'm running off with Anamaria. Goodbye.
-estelendur

Will: "Elizabeth... I... I'm gay."
Elizabeth: "You mean... you- and Jack...?"
Will: "Yes. I'm afraid so."
Elizabeth *thinking*: "I'm going to be a virgin for the rest of my life, aren't I?"
-whisper_lillies

Will: I've never felt anything like it. He had me pleading for more; more heat, more him. And then.....
Elizabeth: Yes? Go on. Then?
Will: He called me Bootstrap.
Elizabeth: No! You're kidding.
Will: Does it look like I'm kidding?
-st_minority

Liz: The jacket's not ALL that came with the outfit. See? That's not a wocket in my pocket, I'm just really happy to see you, babe...
-redorchard13

Narrator: I wonder if they know their faces will stay that way.
-ms_collins

Caption away, mates! No rules this time; just do your thing. Have 'em in before Saturday!

'ello, poppets!

I really do love college as much as Jack loves rum, but sometimes...

Sometimes it makes me want to do nothing but drink rum and forget it all (and sometimes I do, though vodka is this pirate's drink of choice) ;)

AKA sorry for any delay or scatterbrainedness on my part - that's the reason for all the *wiggles hands and screws up face ala Will imitating Jack*

Here are the winners for Challenges 4 and 5 with banners to come soon:

Challenge 4

1st place - melamserious
2nd place - taskir
3rd place - fireflyfailure

Sorry for the delay; college owns me ;)

Challenge #5 Captions (VOTE HERE for your favorite TWO, but feel to comment under this post on each other's submissions!



Will (thinking): He's madder than a wet hen... Wait, wrong kind of mad. Hmm. Wonder how he'll look soaking wet on the ship? Bad thoughts! Think of Elizabeth! Stil...
-estelendur

Will: If I listen to this man one more time, I'll end up dead.
Jack: If he says one more thing, I'm going to pull down on this boat, hard. And then swim away...oh look, a fish.
-ms_collins

Will: I am so screwed. This guy's nuts.
Jack: I am so screwed. This guy's nuts.
-fireflyfailure

Jack thinking- Hm, hopefully Will won't notice the sudden warmth of the water...
Will thinking- Did he just?!
-im_is_a_zombie

Will: He better not be planning on sodomizing me.
Jack's shoulder devil: It'd be a waste of a perfectly fine private under sea bubble of air. Dooooo ittttt.
Jack's shoulder angel: If you bent him over down here you'd both end up drowning. Best to wait for drier quarters.
Jack's shoulder devil: *clings to Jack's dreds and hangs out in order to see shoulder angel* What's the bloody fun in that? This has got adventure.
Jack: Both of you shut up! Or I won't be buggering him here, there, or anywhere for that matter... Well no, I will eventually, but it'll be a great while longer 'till I do if you don't bugger off. Don't even bloody know why I still have a conscience.
-melamserious

Jack: *That's it, Jack...keep walking, act casual, and he won't ever realize you're smuggling lobsters in your hat.*
Will: *Jack's hair is...moving...*
-taskir

All right, the submissions are in! PLEASE VOTE FOR TWO! There was some confusion with this last time, and I know I keep changing it, but it all depends on the amount of entries, and so I had to be kind of crafty with tabulating the votes for Challenge #4, but I think I did it fairly and the banners for that will be posted soon. In the meantime, VOTE HERE for your favorite BEFORE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH. Vote for only one, and don't for yourself, savvy?

See the above posts for the fantabulous-as-usual results, and keep your eyes peeled for the challenge 4 winners.

Thanks, all! Please continue to do just what you have been - I love your participation in this community! As always, I encourage you to post anything PotC-related and also comment on each other's captions to your heart's delight...or your weasley black guts ;)

NOTE: SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION! I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE POST PRIOR TO THIS WASN'T DELETED. VOTE FOR YOUR TOP TWO HERE. THANKS :)

Voting for Challenge #4 has ended and submissions for Challenge #5 are all in! I have to dash off to class now, but more soon, luvs - Sparrow's honor ;)

Aye, this soul can make 'er thoughts known in a manner befittin' salty dogs o' the sea.

It may be known that this wench recently was seen to be wandering the thoroughfares of the Magic Kingdom, where one often encounters many a man of the sea. And so I have for you Pirate-y highlights of the park. Plus photos from the revamped PotC ride.

( Disneyland Scallywags )

Drink up me hearties, yo ho...

Tomorrow is National Talk Like A Pirate Day! Pretty much the best holiday of the year for us folk, eh? I encourage you all to dress piratey and/or talk like a scallywag as much as possible tomorrow, and let us know how it goes!

Also, just for something to do, feel free to post some of your favorite PotC quotes here as inspiration!

One I plan to use tomorrow in addition to my own clever pirate-isms (which consist mostly of grunts and bad attempts at a British accent):

"Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid."
-Jack

Not exactly full of "arg"s and "savvy"s but still a pretty piratey thing to say - one I used a bit at the Renn Faire to excuse me lies and mock attempts at stealing things ;)

Speaking of which, before we went off to the Faire:



My attempt at an impression of Jack. I had to get up early - my wee tired look can perhaps pass for drunk. Though later on in the day, I discovered the free wine tasting booth...

And tasted them all, and got a wee Jack Sparrow, as my friends and I call it, indeed ;)

[Better pictures of me get-up later! I had some snazzy boots you can't see here!]

Sorry, luvs! Somehow the whole winner part slipped me mind ;) School has been crazy, but pirate's honor (you can trust a dishonest man more than a honest one afterall), it won't 'appen again!

Here are the winners for now, and banners for them and everyone who participated will be up soon:

UPDATE: BANNERS FOR EVERYONE!

All participants:



1st place: melamserious



2nd place: whisper_lillies



3rd place: estelendur



Again, my utmost of apologies! Be sure to vote for challenge four and I'll get the winners up for that on Friday at the latest. And great captions for # 5 coming in so far ;)

'ere's challenge number five, then. There's a catch this time: caption only what Jack and/or Will are thinking, not actually saying ;)

I'm looking forward to your submissions! Have 'em in before Thursday the 21st, and don't forget to vote for yer favorite caption from Challenge #4!

Lurv,
Kayley

Here are the results from Challenge #4 - Great stuff! Feel free to comment on each other's captions here, but be sure to vote in the post below for your actual choices.



Barbossa: And then she wore socks with high heels.
Elizabeth: No way.
Barbossa: Oh yes. And the whole lot of 'em wear white.
Elizabeth: After Labor Day? Ughh.
-from melamserious

Barbossa: What do you mean, 'it doesn't go with the outfit'? Gold goes with everything!
-from taskir

Barbossa: Ye don't know what this is, do ye?
Elizabeth: It's a piece of molded brass. I'm not stupid; do you think I was born yesterday?
Barbossa: It's brass, aye, but 'tis cursed.
Elizabeth: Cursed? Oh, please. You make it sound like we're in some sort of fairy tale.
Barbossa: Its curse, girl, is that it causes all who take it from its rightful owner to doubt their own free will. They feel themselves to be puppets in some master plan, and they see things... everywhere! Great round shiny black things. *looks up* There's one now! Run for yer life! *scampers away*
Elizabeth: *looks directly at camera* He's such an idiot, isn't he?
-from estelendur

Barbossa: "I didn't know the hanky code included pendants. You're trying to tell me this bloody thing means I'll do what again?"
-from abbey1969

Barbossa: Tell me what kind of shampoo you use! Please?
-from fireflyfailure
