    Text - sndwave Folgen the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World's End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water" and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went "hey that sounds like a great ideal" at some point someon

    Text - *stands majestically in a bucket* amalgarn Folgen ok but notice the trail of buckets behind him meaning he walked from the ocean through three other buckets of water before he got into the one hes standing in prokopetz Folgen It's even funnier when you consider how he must have figured all this out in the first place.

    Text - What Jones is doing here is rules-lawyering his curse. Can you imagine the trial and error he must have gone through in order to determine that this would actually work? "Okay, do islands count as dry land? How about parts of the shore below the high tide mark? Reefs? Shoals? What if I stand in a pool of water on a shoal?

    Text - prokopetz Folgen Not necessarily. It's traditionally a lot easier to accidentally get whammied by a curse than it is to weasel around it - I figure that's why he's using multiple layers of indirection here.

    Text - musicalhell Folgen This is the quality content I come to Tumblr for. memes-and-musicals could he step on land if his shoes are wet? there-was-a-girl Folgen No matter how ridiculous PotC gets I will love it. Especially when it results in conversations like this glumshoe Folgen What if he crawls around on his hands and knees, with his feet raised slightly into the air? Can he walk on his hands? Can he ride around in a litter or a wheelchair?

Like in a hot air balloon, or in the claws of a giant bird? pantheraj Folgen What if he's carried by two swallows using a strand of creeper? strikelikeahawk Folgen European swallows or African swallows? grednforgesgirl Folgen this whole thread reads like a conversation between these two:
