Is George R.R. Martin a pirate?
Curious minds want to know.
shareHe did steal the Farseer trilogy and make it into another set of stories and so yeah, why not?

No I think he just wanted all the R's,greedy bastard.
shareIf he had to pay for them, like the vowels; he would probably be a rich man.
shareargh matey
shareYo ho ho and a bottleβ of... 151!!!! ππππ
shareI used to love a rum and coke or several back in the days when I could drink spirits all night long.
Lovely stuff.
151 though, not so lovely lol. Bubba's totally on point girl LMAO!!
shareEver had a Flaming Dr. Pepper ?
shareNo. I never mixed mine. Drank it straight with a chaser. And never set mine aflame. Too dangerous. Drinking that shit was danger enough!! π₯π₯π₯π₯
shareSo true.
One night at the bar three of us lined up 7 of these each.
We went right down the line.
First and last time I had one of these.
Oh you poor man. I can only imagine the night you had and the next 18 hours or so after that. π±π±π±π±
shareIt might have been the best night of my life.
I'll never know.
I FULLY understand!! π¬π¬π¬π¬
shareSome strange way I knew you would.
If for no other reason than part of your name is 151.

shareShe said I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job
shareeverybody funny, now you funny too
shareYou know when you're mouth a getting dry,you're plenty high
shareGotta get drunk man, so I can't even speak
shareI'm gettin' drunk,I'm feelin' mellow.I'm drinkin' bourbon,I'm drinkin' Scotch,I'm drinkin' beer.
shareAnd then she was so nice,
Lord, she was lovey-dovey
(classic set-up for big finish)
So what you want ?
The clock on the wall says three o'clock Deep breath....
Last call for alcohol...
Rum and Coke pleaseπ
Haha. You just made that song your own.
I think we have a super group in the making.
I figure we'll start out playing at local pubs and taverns.
Don't want to go on tour right away.
I'm afraid we'd get too big too fast.
We'll stick to covers for now. They're classics for a reason.
Either D&G Music Co. or Dazed and Godewey'd.
I wouldn't mind just being called Dazed but I feel
in the future I would get jealous or you would get a
big head and turn into Don Henley or Dennis De Young.
Which wouldn't be horrible. At least then we could
have a reunion tour.
You get found working at a Kleenex factory. (because of your nose) You get your dream job. Touring with Mott the Hoople on their reunion tour. You tell All the young dudes to carry the news. You get the lifetime achievement award. Keith Richards gives the speech. He says great things about you. Well, we think he says nice things, actually nobody understood a damn thing he said.
I become bitter and write negative songs about you. I then become remorseful.
I start writing strange things.
I thought I saw the devil This morning Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue. There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light.
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? I didn't mean to call you that. But if you see me walking by,And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star.
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are....
I go out one day to buy a bag of marshmallows and am never seen again.
You give one final performance.
How do I tell the world Godewey's not coming home
How do I tell myself I'll be staying alone. Oh, I can't stop crying. Oh man wonder if he'll ever know, he's in the best selling show, Is there life on Mars?
And all this could be just a dream so it seems I was never much good at goodbye.
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohh , you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural religiously unkind
Oh no love, you're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if i could only
Make you care
Oh no love, you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Being serious for a second..first time I heard this I cried.When he cries out "You're not alone" it spoke to me.My sometimes lonely past teenage self thanks Mr.Bowie.
It's a beautifully written song. I think everybody has those
songs that speak to them. One song can have different meanings
to different people. Another reason the world is more alike than different.
Bowie was one of a kind.
I was a bit unfair, I hit you with a barrage of lyrics from different
songs from different eras. I had way too many in my head.
I just plain love music. I love all music. I have everything on my playlist
from Ricky Nelson to Mozart to Metallica. Still discovering new music everyday. I have tickets to 20 concerts this summer. Can't get enough.
Dazed you are wonderful. I have loved this conversation.
It has been fun. I always love talking to somebody with similar
taste in music. For me it's hard to find somebody who likes
Frankie Avalon and The Black Keys. Not that you like either of these
but there is a definite connection with certain music.
I feel this site is in a lull. There is a lot of crap being spewed
on different threads. As long as you post it I will come.
Anytime you post a random lyric, and I know it, I will be there.
Why thank you! that's so nice,you're not so bad yourself.π
This has been a very funny conversation.
I've always listened to music too and I'm often surprised when people don't or have stopped listening.
For me music is a constant,it invokes memories,heals,is joyful,makes you dance and sing and sometimes cry.
Our song
It gives us a reason
Our song
That good remedy
Music has magic
That stuff of syncopation
Yes I agree the site is in a lull it's almost like sabotage.There is a core of great posters here though so fingers crossed it's just a phase.

If I don't have a movie on I am listening to music.
Today I tried something different. I played my play list
alphabetically. I played it for 8 hours and never got
past he A's. I don't what that means but it surprised me.
Last week I listened to a song that I have heard 100 times
and it brought tears to my eyes while I was washing dishes.
Just one of those things. I don't listen the radio anymore.
All the new music I listen to is online. There is still a lot of
great music out there that never makes it to the radio.
The radio like most media does seem to have an agenda.Certain songs like anything by Adele will be played to death.I have a local station on at work sometimes but just as background noise.
I'm now curious as to what that song was.
You will disappointed.
It was Teddy Bear by Red Sovine.
It's an old country song that is pure cheese.
I have always had an affection for it.
For some reason on that day it got to me. (again)
Like I said I have a very unique taste in music.
Ah you big softie!
I had to look it up because I'd never heard of it.
The one that always,always gets to me is The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics.
Come back to us Dewey π
shareHave I been chatting with a witch ?
So weird. I swore I would give it 2 weeks before
I came back to see where things stood.
I got an uncontrollable urge to login tonight.
I appreciate the kind words. I actually missed you guys.
(softie, remember)
Some things I saw on here really bothered me.
Didn't like the direction it was going. We'll see what happens
next.
Thanks again, It's always nice to be missed.
It did seem to be taking a turn for the worse but hopefully things are looking up.
It's sad to have to accept that message boards will always attract people who want to abuse them.
I wish I understood why I really do.
I'm glad you're back Mr.Soft! π
If you could not spread the whole Mr.Soft
thing that would be great. It's the kind of name
that can stick to you.
Nice job on your Emoji thread.
I was going to post something like this only with
movie quotes. Your idea was awesome.
Maybe I will do mine in a few years when yours
slows down.
I have problems seeing a lot of them so I've been
trying when I can.
BTW, how does nobody know about Eat Drink Man Woman ? Great movie.
I'm just putting my reply here because there is more space!
Dazed and Godewey'd sounds great...or you know your name first,whatever you think flows.
I probably would let it all go to my head,I may well develop a love of the white stuff too.I do love Marshmallows.You'd be the dude with all the groupies I reckon.
I like the idea of doing covers since they are quite literally the only songs I know...and I do know a lot of other peoples songs (studying all those album sleeves is finally paying off).
High five! Oh do people not do that anymore? Yes,I do need to "get with it".
Oh and another thing,technically I can't actually play an instrument.... Or sing,I can't sing either.How about you?
I could be like Bez and just dance and get full credit,that'd be okay wouldn't it?
So I was thinking we could do Sweet home Chicago to open?
Come on,baby don't you want to go
Dazed N' Godewey'd kind of works. Then we could tell people
You just got Dazed N' Godewey'd.
If you get hooked on the white stuff then so do I. Like I'm gonna
have you walk around by yourself with sticky marshmallowy stuff all over your mouth.
Fine, I guess I will take care of the groupies. If you insist.
Yeah, the whole high 5 thing, not so much. More of a fist bump
and then the mini explosion thing.
I am not musically inclined whatsoever.
I was thinking more of beat poetry kind of thing.
We would just stand on stage and shout out random lyrics to songs.
It would be the next great thing.
Sweet Home Chicago would be a great opening number.
Back to that same old place, oh sweet home Chicago
I think our first major fall out will be about you wanting to go solo.(You being the talent so to speak)
I'll say
"You want to break up the band man? Oh man this is harsh"
You'll be like "Dude, it's just something I need to do,dude"
I'll say
"But man,I thought we were going to be the next Manfred Mann,Man"
You'll say
"Dude,I can't go on doing Doo Wah Diddy Diddy,Dude"
I'll say
"We can do the Beatles Man like,I wanna be your Man ,man"
You'll go
"Dude, I don't want to spending anymore time doing Hey Jude,Dude"
Is this the end?
I shouldn't have read this at work. I got a lot of strange
looks laughing extremely loud.
Damn, I thought you were the talent.
No wonder this didn't work.
When I first read it I automatically did a Ringo/Keith Ricahrds accent.
Then I got to dude. Maybe add in a couple of mates and wankers.
This could be the end.
You'll get the Lifetime movie and I'll Get the E Hollywood movie.
We will both write books and do the TV tour.
We'll both be on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Headline "End of an Era"
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother.
There will be rumors of our reunion tour but nothing ever
materializes.
Never Forget
You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
My accent is definitely more Ringo than Richards in reality.
So I guess that means you get to do the Pirates of the Caribbean and I become the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine.
You get eternal life due to (allegedly having regular blood transfusions)
Whilst I become vegan and am remembered fondly for my large nose.
Life is unfair...
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,
That much is true.
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you.
A totally self indulgent bump for Dewey day.
This is gold for me to see this again and april151 here too! Where did you go to april? He missed you.
Dewey was a music fan through and through he was Keith and I was Ringo!
[deleted]
Captain Morgan was my weapon of choice or Lambs Navy Rum.Probably quite tame in comparison?
I just googled 151 and it's really expensive here, like Β£55!
And 75.5% Jesus H Christ! I'm impressed that you guys drank it and lived.π±π΅π·
You ain't lyin' sista!!!!
shareIt can also be used as kerosene and paint stripper.
But in a good way.
If you like Captain Morgan, you should try Kraken.
It tastes better, plus the bottle is really cool, and you get to say "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" gratuitously.
Oo I have seen that and the bottle IS cool,I have been known to have my head turned by an interesting bottle.
All this talk of rum has made me think I might just get a bottle for next weekend...
Here is a question for rum and coke fans-Ice before the coke or after? Slice of lemon,squeeze of lime?
The Kraken bottle has those tiny finger handles so you can hook one finger through and hoist it on your shoulder to drink, like a pirate. :D
For Liquor and perfume, I am a sucker for a cool bottle.
I put the ice in the glass first but I don't know if it makes that big a difference. I just don't want it to splash.
I like Kraken with a mexican coke (real sugar instead of corn syrup) or with a pepsi 1893 cola.(also real sugar) .
I'd use the slice of lemon because i have a lemon tree.
and you get to say "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" gratuitously.Oh my I could see me doing that back in my bar days LMAO ππππ share
LOL
wish this had a 'like' button because it made me chuckle
ARRRR
George R.R. Martin is a cheap ripoff of Tolkien i tell you what
shareLooks like he lives on more than hardtack and rum.
