Something Silly

We are currently 2 days from massive insanity!!!!

Please keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times! at no time shall you stand up while on the boat! Shiver me timbers and all the JAZZZZ!!!

sorry. i got a tad bit outta control there...

and when you think about it. shiver me timbers. that is a rather interesting statement.
lets break it down. (apparently i'm on a word kick here)

if you take a look at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ you will find that Shiver ( Nautical To cause (a sail) to flutter by sailing too close to the wind.) and Timber ( Nautical A rib in a ship's frame. ) share a Nautical theme.

Could this be the reason why Nautical Adventures will exclaim "Shiver Me Timbers" ??

I would assume that something would have to be pretty scary to shake the ribs of an entire boat!

So when a ships captain removes his musty spectacles and whispers "shiver me timbers" under his rum stained breath, you know that the kraken or some sort of Spectral Entity is sure to be close by. With impending doom looming what would you do!

by the way. i have fallen in love with DIXIE'S newest jingle for their ultra sturdy plates! You can find the commercial HERE!!!!!

Watch, Listen, and ENJOY!!!
