Pirates are Cool.

Captured bits of life... Pirates at no extra cost. Arrrg. Also cool: Zombies, Aliens, Ninjas, Dinosaurs, Vikings, the Noble River Horse, the Sinister Octopi, Robots and Kittens.

One AM - pop culture conversation

Look at how intellegent I am when it comes to pop culture:

i found a tshirt that says "Ninjas and pirates agree: cowboys suck"
James - will soon be at camp. email him. says:
ehhh... kind of a foregone conclusion. cowboys and indians were the pirates and ninja's of the cold-war era. Trying to compare two sets of rivals like that is laregely unsucessful. Besides, after brokeback mountain, anything like that seems to be alluding to hate crimes against homosexuals.
Shush says:
ahhhhh
James - will soon be at camp. email him. says:
in other words, nobody cares because nobody under fifty actually thinks cowboys are cool anymore. hence the reason why westerns died as a genre. yet, seventies-style kung fu movies are all the rage (kill bill) and pirates are storming blockbuster hits (pirates of the carribean).



PS - I'm smarter than you. Blah blah blah, look at how much shit I can talk.

    Proving the age-old theory of the "exception to every rule," I just had to add that I still think cowboys are cool. Not Albertan Nickerl-back loving rednecks, but rather the ideal of the rugged individual living with no regard for the modern world. Either that or it's just my love of alt-country music...
