Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 05, 2016

I just see a bunch of stuffed shirts.

sherruf, can you get an extra long sleeve shirt with these boys?

Oh, that’s why there’s never any rum.

Paul Revere and the Raiders cover band?

I have to recuse myself on this question…After all my years selling vintage clothes, and later, a dozen years working at the Renaissance Faire, all the costuming I’ve done…How can I possibly make fun of pirate shirts?

I’ve made them, I’ve sold them…back in hippie days I even dated men who were wearing them…

Now the ones the boys are wearing, in the strip today, are kinda silly…But I’m sure the Linguist has a closetful of nice ones…

Sheriff Monkeyblues looks very handsome in a pirate shirt, too … sigh…

But really…how can you argue with this…

Or this?

I much prefer a Hawaiian Print.

Let’s ask Seinfeld how he feels about it…

I wonder if Krispy Kreme is doing Pirate Day this year? The site still has the ad up from 2015.

So that’s where all my shirts have gone !! I’m never taking another shirt to be cleaned at LT&R Dry Cleaning, Martinizing & Waterproofing again. Those guys have been telling me that the shirts got lost in the wash or that the ironers hadn’t finished, so come back next week.Well, there’s gonna be a few timbers shivered around Ballard Street this week ! Here’s 3 more of my shirts that have “disappeared”

I’ve ordered the crew of my galleon The Irish Rover® to keep their eyes and ears open for any sign of those three shirt purloining wannabes.

Actually, I’ve given up ( for the most part) the “frilly” frock shirts for the more comfortable shirts worn in Ecuador.

Correction: “Larry, Ted and Randall arrrr but a few of the men who enjoy a good pirate shirt…"

A pirate shirt is nothing without a good parrot accessory

I guess I’m too old — I remember them as being called “Tom Jones shirts.”

I’m surprised no one commented on the cigars they’re all smoking.

Well schucks! As a young teenager, I LOVED TOM JONES! Still enjoy his old music, though I haven’t heard it in years!
