Grow Old along with me
it is used to tell time by its shadow It might be fitting for this clock to have 13 numbers on it instead of 12
There is lawn and bricks too if you look close.
Good Job Al you get a gold star for research!! The phrase, "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to come." comes from a Robert Browning poem Rabbi ben Ezra which is a historical poem about another poet, Abraham Ibm Ezra. The phrase is often put on clocks suggesting that one grow old with father time, and to do so without a fight. The rest of the poem introduces the thought that good can only exist in the absence of good:
For thence,—a paradoxWhich comforts while it mocks,—Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:What I aspired to be,And was not, comforts me:brute I might have been, but would not sink, I the scale
that's no moon... it's a space station

Trivia Question #3, Correct
Trivia Question #1, Correct
Do you remember this?
The ride opened up in 1995 and these were handed out to all of the people so that they would have something to do for the 3 hours on average that they would be standing in line amidst frequent breakdowns and as dad can attest, small caves with bad ventilation... Anyways, these babies go for about $25 on ebay if they are in good condition... I think I still have mine in a box somewhere, I would probably need to hire Indy himself to help me find it...

Good job Al
The anchor supposedly belongs to the ship of Jean Lafitte, a so-called gentleman pirate who cruised the waters surrounding New Orleans. He disappeared after his ship sunk off the coast of New Orleans after being hit by a hurricane. However there are myths that he did not die and that he used the storm and shipwreck as a chance to escape his criminal past as a slave trader and a pirate. There is a town named after him in Louisianna and the pirates ride starts off in Lafitte's Landing named for the pirate. The last line on the sign is, "don't believe everything you read."

If our Skull and Crossboned friend had gone to school...
Speech from the Skull and Crossbones in Standard English
Pardon me, hold on a minute. You have no time left to change your direction, dear companions, and there are pirates intent on theft moving stealthily in each cavern who would like to join you on your ship. Snuggle close to one another and do not put your red hands over the edge of the boat. This is the best advice for people who want to push back those who might want to pay you rent in exchange for a place to stay and food. Also, you should note what I say, dear companions, when I tell you that those males who are no longer alive are no good at telling stories. Ho, ho, ho.You have arrived looking for excitement and aging, saline-tainted pirates, yes? Well, you've sure come to the right place! However, I recommend that you refrain from closing your eyes and stare into the wind, dear companions, and use both hands to steady yourself, if you like. There are squirrels a short distance from here in the direction we are traveling, as well as a small locking storage cabinet belonging to the Monkees tambourine player who is waiting in anticipation of those who do not heed my advice. Ho, ho, ho.

Common English Pirates
The Pirates Theme Song in Standard English
Hooray, hooray, I prefer piracy as a profession.
We steal, steal, go through things, and steal,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
We relocate people and hold them against their will, molest, and pollute
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
We demand protection money and steal, we steal and steal,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
Create wanton destruction, steal from our employers, and will even go so far as to take vehicles which do not belong to us,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
Hooray, hooray, I prefer piracy as a profession.
We prepare to set things on fire, burn them a little, burn them completely, and set them on fire,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
We completely burn down cities and look scary,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
We're friends of Alfalfa and untrustworthy, we are bad guys and jacks
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
We're mythological creatures from the underworld and have dark wool, we're a spoiled picnic food,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
We ask for money for nothing and are generally held in low esteem and are irresponsible people without honor,
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
And yet our parents still love us for some inexplicable reason
Finish your drink happy fellow, hooray.
