How About Getting A Little Captain In Us?



I have to admit something. I have a huge crush on Captain Morgan. You know, from the Captain Morgan ads? I never really liked the campaign where regular folk pretended to stand with their leg up on something that wasn't there - that's just stupid - and I tried it after drinking Captain but I kept falling over. But these new ads...

Okay, so he's not Captain Jack Sparrow - but I think he's cute. But there's something very naughty in his gaze. And he's funny. And he uses a designated rower. That's hot.

So here's what I propose - unless someone else has proposed it. We need to capture him. I think he needs to hang out on the Revenge with us. Let's face it - Jack Sparrow's been REALLY tired lately. But this guy - he'd take some of the pressure off ol' Jack (and from the rumors flying around...a certain undead monkey too - but what do I know?)

I do claim first dibs - I selflessly volunteer to "break him in" for everyone. But how hard can it be? The man does flips off the gangplank to turn a war into a party and keeps the maid from a beating by throwing his glass on the floor. I don't think he'll be a problem.  And if he is, we have the Kraken.

So, we add him to our "collection." What say you?

I say I haven't seen these commercials. But I'll vote yes based on that pic (and this awesomely persuasive blog) alone.

I once had a Captain Morgan temporary tattoo on the back of my neck. Got it in a bar. You had to do something to get it. I'm sure I did something totally ladylike...

Go to you tube - I'll bet they are there. Someone told me last night they haven't seen it either. Apparently, I watch too much tv.

Bosun said...

Life, Love & Loot! I'm in! LOL!

My TV has been unhooked for a week. Since the Great Living Room Flood of 2012. Finally got it set up again last night. And maybe it's not that you watch too much television, it's WHAT you're watching. LOL! I had to sign in because the commercial was considered not appropriate for all audiences.

Leslie Langtry said...

I think there are three of them. Have you checked out all three?

Hellion said...

Oh, I've seen these commercials and I agree--he needs to be captured and pressganged as soon as possible. Great idea, Assassin! You always have the best ideas!

Leslie Langtry said...

Hellie, you had me at "pressganged."

Bosun said...

Though wouldn't a pirate go commando? Just sayin'...

Bosun said...

I watched 2 of them. Didn't see a 3rd. When he undressed and jumped off that gangplank, I was sold. LOL!

Marnee Bailey said...

These commercials crack me up. :) I agree. I don't know if he and Jack are going to get along though. They both like rum, though. So maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Leslie Langtry said...

Hmmm...we might need to stock up on the rum then.

Janga said...

These commercials might be worth turning the TV on, something I rarely do. And I'm definitely in favor of the RWR adding a bearded pirate who turns wars into parties.

P. Kirby said...

I've never seen the commercial either, but he looks pretty cute.

So what will the rest of your male pirate types think of him? All those captains, all those egos...

Bosun said...

We only have 2 captains (including this new one) and they're both the "Make love not war" types. So I think we're good. LOL!

P. Kirby said...

Ah, good. I'd hate to see your lovely ship tainted with a bad case of testosterone poisoning.

Can we schedule a visit from 'the most interesting man in the world'? I don't think he'd be interested in staying, but a visit would be fun...

I'm sure Jack and Barbossa will adore Cp Morgan, they can compare stories of pirate raids and conquests...and I never run out of rum!

Leslie Langtry said...

I LOVE THAT GUY! He has a cougar - maybe he can bring it?

2nd Chance said...

I'd love to see a cougar go after that blasted monkey...wonder how he'd rise from being digested?

Leslie Langtry said...

The cougar would probably just suffer from eternal indigestion.

Hellion said...

Ah, good. I’d hate to see your lovely ship tainted with a bad case of testosterone poisoning.

ROTFL

Bosun said...

I'm not sure we have much estrogen on this ship either. LOL! Though Scape is girly enough to add a good dose!

I love that "Most interesting man in the world." LOL! Stay thirsty, my friends!
