When I was a little kid, Cap'n Crunch had a cool premium inside the box of Spooky Pirate, a glow-in-the-dark, peg-legged skeleton you would assemble and dance around on a string.
My eldest sister, always looking for ways to torment me, seized upon the idea of having the "real" Spooky Pirate haunt me. She would hide in the dark, or even call the phone and make me answer it, always howling "Spooky Pirate... SPOOOOOKY PIIIIRATE!!!" as if the ghost of this dread pirate were coming after me. She'd even go all out and write scary messages for me to find, complete with burnt edges. "I know it's you, Sharon! Stop it!" I would yell, but I was still scared out of my adolescent gourd.
Over the years, it's become one of our favorite jokes. And then some years ago I had the brilliant idea of trying to find a Spooky Pirate and giving it to my sister for her birthday. Despite my searching over the years, the best I could ever come up with was an odd picture or two of Spooky, but I was never able to track one down in the flesh, or rather, glow-in-the-dark plastic. But several months ago I happened upon Astronit ( www.flickr.com/people/astronit/ ) and on a sheer lark, I decided to contact him, tell him my story, and ask if he could help in my search. Lo and behold, he had a spare Spooky Pirate, and in his kind generosity, he sent it my way! He wouldn't let me pay for it, rather, he was happy that the childhood memory would be preserved. When I got Spooky Pirate and assembled it, I literally laughed with pure childhood delight for at least 10 minutes, making his plastic bones dance and glow. (Again, Astronit, you have my eternal and most heartfelt thanks!)
So now I can return the favor and let him haunt my sister. I even put together the scary note, complete with burnt edges. He's coming after her at long last, and with a vengeance. She can run, but she cannot hide. Spooky Pirate is coming after her. He knows where she lives.
This is going to be the best birthday present. Ever.

“Hitler ordered the construction of the fortifications in 1942. Almost a million French workers were drafted to build it. The wall was frequently mentioned in Nazi propaganda, where its size and strength were usually exaggerated. The fortifications included colossal coastal guns, batteries, mortars, and artillery, and thousands of German troops were stationed in its defences. When the Allies eventually invaded the Normandy beaches in 1944, most of the defences were stormed within hours. Today, ruins of the wall exist in all of the nations where it was built, although many structures have fallen into the ocean or have been demolished over the years.”

Adrian Cap Anson was a Baseball Hall of Famer who played and coached in the major leagues in the late 1800s. As a player, he was considered the leagues first superstar and was the first player to hit 3000 hits. As a manager, he was an inovator of many plays used in baseball today and that is where he earned the name Cap, or Captain as he was called in the papers.
Anson was signed by the Rockford Forest Citys at the age of 19 in 1871. He would play one season there before be traded to the Philadelphia Athletics where he would become a star. He would lead the league, or be towards the top of the league in almost every batting category. This includes hits, runs batted in, on base percentage, and walks.
During his 4th season with Philadelphia, he began talks with William Hulbert who owned the Chicago White Stockings. This was against baseball poicy since the season wasnt over so Hulbert started a different baseball league called the National League and his Chicago team was the first team to join. Anson would join the team the next season.
He was already becoming a star but had not yet hit his peak. Anson would help the team win the league tital his first year in 1876. He wouldnt hit his peak until the 1880s where he would hold all the top hitting records for the Chicago team during that decade. During the 1880s, Anson won the league batting tital 2 times and finished 2nd 4 times. He would lead the league in RBIs 7 times. His best season of his career was in 1881 where he would lead the league in batting percentage (.399), on base percentage (.442), hits (137), and total bases (175). After batting statistics dropped in the 1890s, Anson would retire in 1897 after 27 years of playing.
As a player, Anson would do alot of first in the league. He was the first player to hit 3 straight homeruns, 5 homeruns in 2 games, 4 doubles in a game, score 6 runs in a game, and have 2 unassisted double plays in a game. He was also the first player to have 3000 hits in his career. His 27 years as a player is still a record.
During his time as a player, he was also a coach. He was a player for Chicago from 1876 to 1897 but was named the player manager in 1879. He would retire as a manger the same year he retired as a player. As player and manager, the papers named Anson Captain Anson. This is where the name Cap came from.
As a mangaer, he was an innovator. He taught his players how to be aggresive and help out more when the game was simple.
He is beleived the first to start spring training. He would send his team to southern area during the spring to practice and escape the cold area of Chicago. He was the first to teach his players to back up other players in the outfield. He also would be the first to use a 3rd base coach. He was also the first to use signals to communicate. He also would use the speed of his player to cause problems for the other teams outfielders. He would have them steal while the batter hit the ball. This would be called the hit and run. From 1880 to 1886, Anson would lead Chicago White Stockings to 5 league championships. Anson retired in 1897. 6 years after Anson retired, the White Stockings would change their name to the Chicago Cubs.
Anson would die in 1922 and is buried in Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago, Il. He would be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame 17 years later in 1939. He still holds many of Chicago Cubs records. He holds the record for RBI, hits, doubles, and singles.
Cap Blanc Nez (literally "Cape White Nose" in English) was a cape on the Côte d'Opale, in the Pas-de-Calais département, in northern France. The cliffs of chalk are very similar to the white cliffs of Dover at the other side of the Channel in England. Cap Blanc Nez is no longer a cape but a cliff that is topped by an obelisk commemorating the Dover Patrol which kept the Channel free from U-boats during World War I.
Le cap Blanc-Nez est un cap situé à Escalles dans le Pas-de-Calais, à 10km de la ville de Calais. C'est la falaise la plus septentrionale de France.
Il est constitué de falaises escarpées, constituées de craie et de marne. Ces falaises s'élèvent jusqu'à 134 m de haut (151 m selon le Conservatoire du littoral) au-dessus d'un estran rocheux.
C'est un des sites emblématiques du Parc naturel régional des Caps et Marais d'Opale, qui constitue l'un des lieux-phare du « Grand Site des Deux Caps ». La falaise supporte une lande herbeuse, d'une qualité liée au sol et aux vent et embruns salés. Ces pelouses herbeuses sont entourées de grandes cultures et sont localement marquées par des séquelles de guerre (cratères de bombes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale).
Par temps clair, on peut y observer distinctement les falaises des côtes anglaises, le Cap Gris-Nez et la baie de Wissant au sud-ouest, la plaine flamande au nord, les collines du Boulonnais à l'est.
L'orthographe actuelle n'est pas conforme aux anciennes dénominations. Au xviie siècle, on l'appelait le Blannest. Si la première partie du nom désigne bien la couleur, la seconde partie -ness ou -nes est issue du vieux saxon naes qui signifie promontoire.

A cap is a flat headgear, usually with a visor.
Caps have crowns that fit very close to the head.
They made their first appearance as early as 3200 BC.
The origin of the word "cap" comes from the Old French word "chapeau" which means "head covering".
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)
