Yo Ho, Yo Whoa...
I went to my girlfriends birthday party at the Pirate Adventure Theater in Buena Park, Ca today. I wore my leather Utilikilt, tight black T-shirt, boots, and a skull cap. Not really pirate garb, but rather piratical looking all the same.
At one point I went to the car to drop off some gifts she had received that we didnt want to have to look after all night long. As I was leaving the car there was a group of mainly females exiting the stairwell to the parking structure on the same level I was. I heard them singing on their way up the stairs
"Yo ho yo ho, a pirates life for me..."
When the first lady reached the top of the stairs and saw me, the song went "Yo ho, yo whoa.."
And so did the next ladies, and the next, and the next. Finally the last women in the group looked at me and said "Hey, thats quite a nice reaction now isnt it?"
Yeah, I have to admit it was. I have to say I never made an entire group of women audibly go "whoa" before when they saw me. (in a good way)
Leather kilts rule.
.. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.
