Talk like a Pirate to me baby...

[meccahi]

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA.....

Oh Gods that was funny...

I totally got stopped by a cop.... because he liked my license plate.

I was getting ready to drive away from Applebees when the cop pulls up next to me and waves me out of the car. I freak out thinking he's going to say something about my expired registration.

"Excuse me ma'am, .... but.. are you a pirate?"

"uhh.. what?"

"Are you a Pirate? Can you talk Pirate to me?"..

(insert clicking in my brain as I realise what the hell he's talking about.)

"ooohhh my license plate.. heh.. yeah.. I am a bit with the Pirate"

Officer Really Freaking Friendly " Can you say YAARRRR for me like a Pirate?"

I figured might as well ( dear gods don't notice my registration Officer Weird But Friendly)

We proceed to make Pirate noises together in the parking lot of Applebees.

Stayed and chit chatted with Officer I Wanna Be A Pirate Too, and he asked me what I did. I told him about Ren Faires and he said he'd been in the AZ booth and that he was going to go again this year, and talked about chainmail, and how I did dispatch for Safeguard.

He asked about my shift hours, and I told him I did weekend graves and he breaks in with " so you have like.. no social life do you".

Ah geez is it THAT obvious?

I told him, no.. not really.. my week is spent making stock, playing a bit of WoW, and work. Hopefully that will change to, , make stock, have social life, play lots of WoW, play music and work shows.

He told me I made his night, and drove off. Leaving me somewhat bemused, but giggling all the same.

Damn that was weird.

Out of not-so-idle curiosity, but what server do you play on?

Re: Heh

[ogasnor.livejournal.com]

Llane. Horde. Tauren Warrior, mainly, although I have a wide selection of others as well.

Awesome.. yeah.. I'm totally Horde.. just can't do Alliance.. it goes against my darker nature..
I mainly play my Troll shaman and my Troll Rogue lately ( don't know why I have a thing for trolls)... but the guild i'm in is called For the Herd since it's mostly Tauren.

I think I just spewed geek. Oh my.

See? Not all cops are assholes. Some are dorks too. LOL

[meccahi.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I was a fair amount surprised. Almost every Mesa cop that I've encountered has been not to pleasant, or just not blessed with an over abundance of schooling. Either way.. he was nice. Goofy, but very nice.

[meccahi.livejournal.com]

err... "too pleasant".. sorry.. couldn't let myself slide with using the incorrect homophone.

That is the BEST!
That story tops my story about how gumbo got me out of a speeding ticket.
Applause.

[meccahi.livejournal.com]

*takes a bow* ..thank you.. thank you.. I do seem to attract the weird.



Oh my. I do believe I need to hear the Gumbo story...

[captain-snarky.livejournal.com]

So this friend from NOLA is visiting Scarbie one week. On Monday, she decides she's making gumbo. I have heard tell that her gumbo was the fairest in the land and at that time I had never even HAD gumbo. That same monday, Mark has to go to Houston to his mam's house. We had but one car between us at the time and he was going to be gone all week so I had to drive him down there.
I drop him off and start heading back to Dallas. Well, it's getting later and I just *know* I'm gonna miss the gumbo so I step on it. I'm going like, 95.
Of course, I get pulled over. Nice old gent. A statie, which is way better than local. Staties actually have a sense of humor.
So we have the conversation about what's an Illinois plate doing hauling ass from Houston to Dallas, what's a renaissance faire, yadda yadda.
Then he asks me why I'm going so fast, to which I reply, "It's like this sir, a friend from NOLA is in town for a week and she is at this moment getting ready to serve up a 100 year old family gumbo recipe and I didn't want to miss it."
He looks at me for a second, busts up laughing, tells me that's the best reason for speeding he's ever heard and to get going so I don't miss my gumbo.
And *that* is how gumbo got me out of a speeding ticket.

hehehehehee.. that is awesome!!!

So how WAS that gumbo anyways?

[captain-snarky.livejournal.com]

It was fan-goddamn-tastic.

[telarus.livejournal.com]

Hot.

[bron-y-aur.livejournal.com]

awesome story.
what's your license plate say?

"yarm8y"?

[meccahi.livejournal.com]

Heh..almost..

It says "YAARRRR"..

Also my car is a Yaris.. so it makes it doubly appropriate..

Good to see you back!
