Aaargh me hearties, t� spy the Malibu tide surge spake by me mate, take a gander at t� bottom o� the page.

NEWS FLASH: Johnny Depp appeared at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Setpember 16 for the hand and footprint ceremony at 11:00 a.m. Pacific time.

Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker: [after getting new motorcycle] "You have made me the happiest juvenile delinquent in Baltimore."

In th' summer o' 1989, me lass spent eight seven-days as an extra in John Waters first major production movie �Cry-Baby�. Th' only place ye can really pick th' lass' ou' be as a non-credited feature extra called Polio Girl in one o' th' first scenes.

T' find a young lad fer th' role o' Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, Waters boonswaggled $30 worth o' teen magazines, all o' which showed Johnny Depp o' "21 Jump Street" (1987) on th' cover. Depp be thinkin� th' script as funny an' strange, an' tookst th' offbeat role t' avoid bein' typecast as yur TV pretty boy.

Morgan, e'en then, be gorgeous. Her natural wiles attracted th' best lookin' bucko on the deck, Kenny Corcoran. On nights they weren�t shootin', Kenny an' Morgan would meet up w� th' rest o� the hands at Club Charles. John Waters be generally thar as be Hep (th' hairstylist) many o' t�other Drapes an' Squares, an' a young Johnny Depp. Th' hands would get a table in th' aft o' th' pub, or e�ry lass in that rum-runners heaven would try fer t� o�erhaul Johnny boy.

Predictions be true, th� scallywag Hep would flirt wi' th' lass', John Waters would flirt wi' Kenny, an' ever' bar lass in th' place was tryin� t� shanghai purty Johnny boy. Morgan was eight seven-days tryin' t' talk me into joinin' them to splice the mainbrace wi� a wee clap of thunder. Sink me, I neredid.

When I asked th' lass' this mornin� �bout th' now famous Johnny Depp, she spake o� some 'er fondest memories bein� o' them nights she be chattin' wi' th' lad about �is musical days �fore he took up th� actin' life.


Harbormaster: Hold up there, you. It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock... and I shall need to know your name.
Jack Sparrow: What say ye t� three shillings and ye be forgettin� the name.
Harbormaster: Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith.



9/17/05 Surf at Malibu Beach. Yep, a mate tryin' t' be surfin' that wave.
