The Countess dreams

[avevale_intelligencer]

Of pirates, apparently. In gold shirts with red sashes. Carrying their ship through the streets of Paris and doing song and dance routines. And anyone without long flowing hair was issued with a wig and a moustache, regardless of gender.

Which leads, of course, to...

We're Pirates of the Caribbean
We don't like to be me-an
But if you run
Or fire your gun
We're apt to cause a sce-an
We have fun on the quarterdeck
Play cards, if someone's brought a deck.

Ayup, don't think that rhyme's going anywhere else...

Oooh. A parade with a pirate theme. If it wasn't in Paris, I'd go.

Hrm, if I joined, then I would need the moustache... but cool dream!

Your Lady dreams more truly than she knows, perhaps.

There's a French street theatre group called "Transe Express" who came to Edinburgh some years ago, and a friend was in the group from the Edinburgh Samba School who performed with them. A year or so later they were invited to play in the New Year in Paris, and that time, instead of being dressed as soldiers, the performers were pirates!

(As well as dancing, they were swinging from gantries and trapezes stretched between the ship's masts)

Do they eat spam a lot?

Me! Me! Me! I want to join in! Where's my moustache?!
