You've got a point here Perle... It must be my Spanish blood talking...and the "Paranoid Eyes"...my wife tells me I should never -EVER- again do those eyes and scream out: "Here's Johnny!!!" (in a Jack Nicholson style). Says she'll take the babies and run back to her parents...wench!
You're right about the size...but yesterday I left the pearl back home and just wrote the size I tought I remembered it was...and as it is, too many pearls, too many draughts of harrdy ale...love "Pirate Speak" but I need much concentration and today is not my day.
That "Sauron Pearl" (I am actually going to "christen" it with this name) is definitively not for sale. It belongs to Enrique, Manuel and meeeee! This year we have commenced a new tradition: we are collecting at least ONE pearl: the largest, most beautiful baroque, out of a harvest. That pearl will go into a "Cortez Pearl Collection", never to be sold...
Eventually, I will sell tickets and people will be able to go inside a special "Pearl Room" to stay with the Pearls in the collection and do whathever it pleases them most (without hurting the pearls, of course) touch, smell, lick, the sky's the limit...
No...I don't think so. The pearls will be placed on an altar, to be cherished by us and our visitors instead. Much finer idea
Sraelp and Boo: I loved your Pirate Prose!
Sorry about the "shivers stiff hook" prose...it did not work out. Tried a variation of "you can prye my pearl from my cold, dead, stiff, fingers"...but with a "hook" for a hand, and the "shivers" means "cold" so that was the idea. Did not hold water
I can only begin to fathom all the weird things some of you might have imagined out of it
