Posted: December 1st, 2005 | Author: Bone | Filed under: Uncategorised |I don’t want to over-post today but I thought I’d get the whole pirate thing out of the way.
This shot really doesn’t do my outfit justice, but you can still tell I had a parrot, and that was the most important thing.
Pirate night for TomTom’s birthday and loads of us had made a decent commitment to looking very pirate-y. to the point where I was embarassed to go to the bar on my own, because I kept hearing people saying “parrot,” then laughing.
There was also one semi-random girl that came up to me and stroked the parrot, and talked to the parrot, and at no point did she acknowledge the Bone, she must have been intimidated by my good looks.
Or maybe it was the giant earring that put her off. It was a clip-on and really hurt, I don’t know how you girls manage.
