PETER, A BOY FROM NANTUCKET: A whale! I’ve sighted a whale! Aye, there’s her spout now! Just off the port bow! A whale, boys, a whaaale!
CAPTAIN BALZAC: Make haste, ye lazy dogs! Ye heard the boy! An extra ration of whiskey for the hand that kills the whale! Stand by the braces! Man the boats! Say, what kind of a whale be she, lad?
PETER: Uh… you know.
CAPTAIN BALZAC: I surely don’t, lad. You’re in the crow’s-nest; you tell me.
PETER: It’s, uh… that is… It’s a…
CAPTAIN BALZAC: Right whale? Pilot? Humpback?
PETER: Sp… a sp… It’s a sp…
CAPTAIN BALZAC: Oh, for the love of Mary, lad, sperm. Sperm, sperm, sperm, sperm, sperm. You’ll never make it in this business if ye’re embarrassed to say “sperm.”
PETER: Aye, cap’n.
CAPTAIN BALZAC: That’s just what they’re called. Sperm whales. It’s a perfectly innocent name. Let’s hear ye say it.
PETER: Uh, right now, cap’n?
CAPTAIN BALZAC: Yes, now! Sperm! Sperm! Sperm! Spit it out!
PETER: Sp-spit it out?
CAPTAIN BALZAC: SPERM! SPERM! Land sakes, boy, how old are you? What kind of seaman do you expect to make?
PETER: I beg your pardon, sir?
CAPTAIN BALZAC: WHAT KIND OF SEAMAN WILL YOU MAKE?
PETER: I’m not, uh… sure. Are there many different kinds?
CAPTAIN BALZAC: What, are ye afraid to become a sailor? Ashamed of the sailor’s life? Worried what your folks will think if ye come home with a salty mouth?
PETER: Uh, maybe you're right, sir. Could you guys just drop me off at Nantucket? I think I've had my fill of seamen for one lifetime.
FIRST MATE CHISHOLM: Captain, the whaleboats are ready! Are you coming?
CAPTAIN BALZAC: No, but I sure am excited!
Wear this shirt: sailing, sailing.
Don’t wear this shirt: as part of a cetacean-themed outfit that incorporates an exposed “whale tail.”
This shirt tells the world: “Heh! Heh! ‘Sperm.’ Heh!”
We call this color: Salty Asphalty
Thanks Woot Shirt! for another memorable piece of apparel!

Aww, Based On A Twue Stowwy

When a Nashville t-shirt designer and his wife found a mother cat and her five kittens, they all learned a lesson about caring, compassion, and Craigslist. The couple rescued them, named them, tamed them – loved them. And then, in a gesture of love that Sting would appreciate, set them free to live at other people’s houses. Except the mom cat, which they kept. And they owed it all to a snazzy graphic ad the designer made and posted on Craigslist.

Then he turned it into a t-shirt design so he could cash in on their adorability, probably without giving the cats a dime in royalties.

Wear this shirt: only if you promise to get it spayed and keep it current on its shots. Oh, and don’t let it out of the house. It’s an indoor shirt.

Don’t wear this shirt: unless you have kittens to give away. Nobody likes a cat-tease.

This shirt tells the world: “The cutest, sweetest, shnookumsest things in life are free. Yes, they are! Yes, they are!”

We call this color: Orange Tabby.

A hand colored portrait of my mom from 1943

Jeannie Chase, taken in Seattle WA, 1943. Grandma was going to send my mom's photo to Hollywood as they were looking for a new Shirley Temple, but Grandma became ill with TB and spent the next 7 years in a TB sanitarium.

You know your bouquet is too big when...

This picture just cracks me up everytime I see it.  What a fun wedding that was!
