And so we come to the letter ‘P‘ in the ABC Wednesday alphabet! You just know I’m going to have fun, don’t you? Especially when I kick off with my little collection of Pirates of the Caribbean movies!
But I’d better slip a few other things in here and there, so let’s have my own little Pirate posing with his plunder.
He does love his yellow toys, and will sometimes collect them up and just … look at them!  Who knows why? Who can fathom the thoughts of a Pirate? Maybe they look like gold to him!
And here’s The Princess, looking pretty in her pink and purple pyjamas
She doesn’t care that much for toys. It’s all about comfort for The Princess.
Oh, and don’t forget to check out what happened when I let her have some peas, still in the pod.
But you’re waiting to see how Johnny Depp fits in, aren’t you? Well, do you know, I found lots of ways to include him this week! Who’d have guessed it?
First, there have to be posters! These are my mini posters. You can fit more in that way, you know, and these are above the doors in our hallway.
Then there is my new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean, At World’s End’ poster! This is one that came out of those huge boxes which were sitting in the office, and which I used in the ABC Wednesday letter ‘N‘.
I have lots of piratey stuff. Much of it given to me by Depp friends – we do that, you know. We send each other stuff all over the place.
These are some of the pirate magazines which have been given to me by friends in America.
And this is a photograph which my dear friend Tennessee Jenn had done for me for my birthday one year in Rehoboth, Delaware. They dressed us up in pirate wench costumes, which had no back to them, and then made us walk through the shop! And they made me take off my glasses. They said pirate wenches didn’t wear glasses, and I guess they had a point.
Talking of birthdays -
This is a Pirates of the Caribbean birthday card. It plays the theme tune when you open it. Now, I ask you – how’s a wench supposed to throw that out?
Anyway.
There were lots of people taking pictures at the Pirates of the Caribbean premiere in London’s Leicester Square, and oh look! There is Johnny Depp! If I were American, I could say ‘wearing his smart putty-colored pants’, but I’m not. I’d have to say trousers, which doesn’t begin with a ‘P‘. But still. Isn’t that a pretty sight?
And there are a lot of other things in that photograph which begin with ‘P‘. There’s a lady wearing purple, and I can see pink in the crowd. There are pointy shoes and paving slabs and posters, too! I can even see pin-stripes!  And paper!
Have I missed anything?
Yup. You forgot posteriors. LOL
Smokey loves to gather his toys too and put them in strange hieroglyphic arrangements.

My perfect pirate!
lizs last blog post..Glamorous? Moi?
Ruth – Ha! How did I miss posteriors? ROFL!
Funny how dogs do that, isn’t it? Must be a kind of nesting behaviour.
Babs – Thanks! And yes, well-spotted! Pens abound! And panes of glass too – can’t think how I missed those… I must have been looking at something else.
Baino – Looks like you’re about ready to join in the ABC thing! How about it? You have the alliteration down!
RMH – I stayed up far too late watching the election. OH stayed up later than I did – but no drinking. We’re both dead tired this morning! Predictably.
Moon – I’m not sure I’d be permitted to post panties! Please behave!
Earthlingorgeous – Another Pirates fan? Perfect!
Photowannabe – Thanks! I’ll pop over to yours later! I’m sure you have some great ‘P’s too!
Somnambulist – Feel free to join the ‘P’s! We’d be positively pleased!
Strawberry Jam Anne – Oh yes, I got nice and close.
Proximity was achieved! LOL!
Liz – Mine too!
I think that takes care of ‘P’, Jay.
Aileni Noyles last blog post..ABC Wednesday – ‘P’.
Beautiful P’s. Your Pirate and Princess are adorable!!
and the Pirate of the Carribean DVD’s must be wonderful.Good choice for P.
Reader Wils last blog post..Congratulations Mr. President!!
Please…promptly and post-haste. A little you-know-you goes a very long way….
When you’re “with” Andy (you know what I mean), do you ever call out Johnny’s name????? That would be grounds for divorce in my state. And all the Photographs and Posters would be evidence….
rhymeswithplagues last blog post..November 4, 2008
I love the video of Princess and the pea pod
Well this was a great letter for you. Practically Perfect in every way…
Wow! That is a lot of P’s! Since you love pirates so much I bet you were waiting the whole alphabet to get to that letter! ;0)
Traceys last blog post..ABC Wednesday- P
probabley posting privatly for Panties !!
postponed the proposal !
That Princesse dog is quite a character…
Donald Kinneys last blog post.."P"oliceman — it’s ABC Wednesday !
Aileni Noyle – I like to give good value! LOL!
Reader Wil – Thank you! And yes, the POTC DVDs are great fun!
Bob – Good grief, another trouble-maker! ROFL! No, I do not. More than my life’s worth! OH is a very tolerant man but I think that would be going a tad too far, don’t you?
Dee Jay – I’m so glad you followed up the link and you liked it!
Ellen b and Tracey – Yes this was a good letter for me! Almost as fun as ‘J’!
Moon – Didn’t I already tell you to behave? Now, go and stand in the corner!
Donald Kinney – She is! She’s a sweetheart but has a strong will, too!
I’d love to copy these photos and send to my greyhound breeder friend do you mind??sandy
sandys last blog post..My plan- pick up all these loose feathers and paste them on Voila !!!
No Dear, you’ve plumb polished off every part ‘n’ parcel my peepers could peruse!
A question though: In the one where Princess is so comfy in her purple pj’s, that looks like poodle hair she’s cuddled up to. Is it another dog, or just a really plush pillow?
A. Deckers last blog post..Google yourself . . . ?
Sandy – No, I don’t mind. You can send them to your breeder for her to look at! Thanks for asking!
A Decker – It does look as if she’s snuggled up to a poodle, doesn’t it? But no, it’s a washable sheepskin that we bought for the old guy, The Pirate. He loves it, but The Princess steals it whenever she can!
Brilliant collection of Perfect P’s! I adore your dogs, and that gorgeous video of the Princess and the Pea just couldn’t be better!
Thanks for your visit – I’m sure to get hold of a better pyrite sample some day!
Oh, and I’m also here on behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, to thank you for your continued and valued contributions!!
Dragonstars last blog post..ABC Wednesday – P
I think you’ve pretty much covered all and sundry P’s today! Great job – you have me grinning from ear to ear over the dogs and your witty repartee!
I think ‘P’ is your best ABC yet. bravo!!!
Hi Jay. I love Johnny Depp too! I discovered him in the movie Chocolate. I was hooked after that. He’s great in the Pirate movies isn’t he?
I liked your shots of your pooches. They look like they’re enjoying themselves.
Davinas last blog post..A Ghostly Life Experience
Love the picture of the dog in the pajama’s that is so cute. Great P photos’. I love ABC Wednesdays!!
chrissyms last blog post..ABC Wednesday – Letter P
Dragonstar – Thank you! I adore them too! I was very lucky to get that video, I think, and I treasure it.
Leslie – So glad to have made you smile! Thanks for visiting!
Jeni – Thanks! No surprise that you liked that one, though, huh? LOL!
Davina – Ah! Another Johnny Depp fan! Great to see you! He was delicious in Chocolat, was he not? They should have had him standing in the corner in every scene, just for decoration.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, my dogs have a good life, I think. I hope so anyway.
Chrissym – Thank you! She works very hard at being cute so people will pet her!
What the heck kind of dog is Princess with that tail???
Good P’s also.
You forgot the One Eyed, One Horned Flying PURPLE PEOPLE Eater…somewhere…
Those pink and purple pajamas are perfect for a princess.
Too cute!!
Bear((( )))
wow this is seriously impressive! You have the perfect hobby for the letter P!

Loved the entire post, Jay! Thank you!

Utter Perfection — Depp and dogs. Life doesn’t get much better than that on any given day!
Thanks for sharing.
nonizambonis last blog post..You can go home again!
Suzanne – The Princess is a greyhound!! So is The Pirate, but he doesn’t have quite the same build as she does, and not such a long tail. They do vary quite a lot in shape and size – amazing to think they all compete together! Both of them were quite successful racers though.
Mr Nighttime – But I don’t have one of those! Funnily enough someone gave us a floor cushion as a wedding gift, back in 1976 (yes, I’m that old!) and it was painted with purple people eaters!
Bear Naked – Yes, and she looooves them!
Danielle – And for the letter J, too!
Gordon – Thanks! And you haven’t even seen the Dead Man, Don Juan de Marco, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, From Hell, Libertine or Astronaut’s Wife posters – or the Ninth Gate mini! LOL!
Yes. I do have all of those up on the walls.
Petra – Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Jenn – Yes, isn’t it? I love it! It was a wonderful gift!
Meleah – Indeed there is! I love the first movie the best. It’s so much better than the other two, and it’s the one which introduced Johnny to me.
Babs – The main point of focus in that picture is not the man in the brown suit, but the man in front of him in white short-sleeved shirt, pale trousers and fedora. Tut, tut. I thought everyone could recognise Johnny Depp by his backside!
Nonizamboni – A woman after my own heart!
Like your pirate tribute.
TY for visit my blog.
I think you are crazy about pirates. I love your photos.
