The Sound of Rain

Outside my house, rain.
I sleep happily within;
Alas, poor, wet Knight.

A haiku by Pirate.

Is her voice lost in the rain or are they…?

Froggy Karma

What goes around comes around, especially when it comes to food. You may remember Derp Frog from this picture, and clearly it’s getting it’s comeuppance. The name “Derp Frog” is a work in progress by the way.

What goes around…

 

No Pretty Bow

Some people just don’t like ribbons, at least not wearing them. I believe Pirate fits into this category. For her, it’s a needless accessory and besides which…nope, it’s not working.

Not her greatest fashion hit.

Too Much Stick

Y’know what I grew up with as a child? Geckos. They hid on walls, behind bookshelves, in cracks…they were nice and cute, but annoying. I imagine living with stick people would sort of be like that. Sure, they’re good company and fun to be around, but they get everywhere.

Stick people don’t know the meaning of personal space.

Unfavorable Comparisons

I haven’t heard this song in years. But I wonder how many people over a certain age remember this? Well, it’s a little demeaning towards stick people but it’s a wonderful old song.

Good song, wrong audience, Knight.

Lofty Rests

I believe I would not like to stay in a tree. Unless there were free apples, that is. But for the small people, I guess trees are perfect for hotels: high up, full of natural bedding and branches to sleep on. If you don’t mind bunking with the occasional cicada.

It’s a growing economy.

Pirate Island

When you’ve got an island growing in your hair…you know it’s time to wash your hair. I wonder if that’s even possible, to grow a plant on your head. This is the kind of food for thought and quality thinking you get here at Pirate Blog!

She’s a moving landmass, I guess.

Deep Questions

How much do you think about what you think? Pirate doesn’t think about much except food, sleep, and shelter, but maybe there’s hope for her yet. I can imagine her sitting around talking philosophy with Knight and asking a bunch of obvious questions.

Think a little harder, Pirate.

Fish Bait

Have you ever met someone with bad luck? It’s the person who always seems to step in dog poo, get attacked by wasps or break their iPod three times in a row? It’s all about luck and Knight is unlucky, at least compared to Pirate.

That’s one way to find your dinner.

Red Mountain

Did you know people rank mountains by climbing difficulty? I had no idea, but the thought immediately occurs: what would stick people climb for a challenge/fun? My answer: Pirate.

The world’s first movable, hungry mountain.
