I am always all about free stuff, but now with Oilfield Shutdown 2015 about to occur, I am hyper vigilant on finding the freebies. So, today is TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY. Yes, maties, if you weren't aware, today you are free to say scallawag, swab the deck and arrrr as much as you like. In addition, there are some freebies to take advantage of, namely FREE DONUTS from Krispy Kreme.
Here is our plan: My friend, J, and her teenage daughter; myself and my teenage son, B; and their other teenage friend (whom is special needs and we are trying to help him break out of his sheltered world), will all be dressing like a pirate. You only need three things to count. We will be using a bandana tied around our heads, either a gold (Mardi Gras cheap style) necklace or hoop earring), and an eye patch. My back up idea is also a pirate hook that we can take a red solo cup and punch a hole in it, fashion an aluminum foil hook and poke it in the hole. That's right mateys, cheap is the plan and you can fashion about anything out of duct tape so if you dont have a hat, bandana, eye patch or whatnot, so feel free the improvise for the sake of saving money. We will hit several Krispy Kreme Donut locations (FYI- you can drive thru it I was told) and all of us will show our pirate gear plus a little pirate lingo. You get one freebie for the pirate speech and a dozen, yes dozen, for the garb. We are hoping to collect enough to at least bring back donuts for all the kids at church to have Krispy Kreme donuts for a Sunday Morning snack. Even when you are facing a layoff, you can find ways to give and be generous!
