Go forth, and knock over a random pirate.

Do this in rememberance of me... or something. I have just spoken with kcwitch, who tells me that in my name, she and her lovely family have adopted as a sacred task the retrieval of one (1) pair of purple and orange pirate socks from The Happiest Place on Earth (tm). Their nefarious plans for achieving this end are many and varied, ranging from full-on frontal assault (Kieran, the most littlest, drawing the unhappy task of separating the hapless Cast(e) Member from his footsies) to persuasive pressure applied by heart-rendingly cute daughters.

I mentioned that I had tried the cute kid approach in my day (though I was never as cute as Mercedes) and failed. kcwitch assured me that she felt certain I would be capable of talking a pirate out of his socks *now*, in addition to any other articles of clothing I felt compelled to have him remove. This, of course, made my day :)

Wait, so you're on a mission of pirate sock thievery? Or rather your associates have embarked on such a journey in your name? I say you have the girls bring rum and offer it in exchange, or at least rum bottles filled with something because that'd be funny. Maybe those chocolate dubloons too. I'm not sure how this really cute little kid thing is going to work.

Yes, indeed, I desire pirate socks (http://www.livejournal.com/users/featherynscale/64645.html#cutid1).

Hehe, good times. Well if I ever get the inclination to go to Disneyland, and none of my friends remind me how bad of an idea this is, I will be sure to loot a pirate in a dark alley. It'll be good times. Heh. Whether I'll give them to you or lord them over you I wouldn't know, but since it'll never happen, I don't have to make those tough moral choices. Best of luck to your minions.

In this sort of case, I don't even ask that the socks be given to me - it is enough simply to know that somewhere, someone has illicitly obtained the legendary socks.
I personally think that it would be glorious to drive down the road and see a vehicle with a single pirate stocking fluttering from the antenna. It could be the modern day Jolly Roger, and of extra value because you would have had to somehow acquire it from a representative of the Mouse, who all undergo extensive training to never give up a piece of the costume. It'd be major pirate coup.

Oh, wait, there's that much at stake? They can't give up anything? Hrm... I may have motivation to go to this land of Disney. Well, if I'm ever anywhere near Anaheim and want to waste some cash. I'll add it to my "If... Then..." list of things to do. "If in Disneyland, Rob pirates of socks." Excellent.

I do want you to know my therapist says your influence is unaturally increasing my allready destructive affiliation for pirates. I think she's just jealous.
