Touché away!

At the teen's urging we rented Pirates of the Caribbean tonight. I haven't seen it before because, well, I thought it looked stupid. So you see, this is all the husband's fault. He wanted to see it, not me.

Wow, oh wow, oh wow. Now I understand why almost every woman I know who has seen this movie has a crush on Johnny Depp. Who would have thought some eye makeup could make a guy look that good?

Of course, the swashbuckling doesn't hurt. After all, we are talking about the woman whose first love was Touche Turtle. With that swoopy plume and his habit of flying through the air, who cared if he hit a few walls? When I grew up, I was going to marry that turtle. I just knew it.

I've still got it bad. Give me a swashbuckler with a big ol' feather in the hat if you want to make my heart speed up; throw in a cape and I'll have to go sit down and remind myself I'm married.

I found a Pirates picture of Depp at IMDB. He's in costume, but no eye makeup. It just doesn't work without the eyeliner. Who would have thought?
