Subject: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Sep 06 - 08:25 PM We were kidding around about something here at home, and suddenly Hardi turned it into Talk Like a Pirate Day, in heaven. "Avast, sinner!" "I never knew ye, yarrrrghhh!" "Haul the lubber aboard, mates!" "Welcome to the crew, arrrrghhh," and stuff like that. Just for fun, what can you imagine being said in heaven, pirate-style? ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Sep 06 - 09:21 PM I don't think that's the premise I offered, but if you'd rather take it there, feel free. I just thought some people might enjoy being playful with the Serious Stuff for a change. If you make Hell the setting, it isn't as funny-- it's too much like what you'd expect. I could be wrong-- surprise me! :~) ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Sep 06 - 10:04 PM Well fisherman talk and pirate talk would be pretty close, I'd imagine. |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 28 Sep 06 - 10:54 PM What if Jesus had been made to walk the plank instead of being crucified? First, would he have drowned or merely bounced off the water's surface and walked away? If he had drowned, would the devout wear necklaces with little planks as pendants? Would church steeples have planks at their pinnacles? Would Popsicle sticks be treated as objects of reverence? |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Sep 06 - 11:03 PM Well, it's a well-known fact that if He'd been a cowboy, the sacrament would be sarsaparilla. Instead of the sign of the cross, it'd be the sign of the noose (I know you can picture that). Don't forget The last Bar-B-Que.... There was more I can't recall at the moment, aaarghhh! Back to the pirates-- Instead of disciples: mateys. And they'd never have left their nets to follow Him on LAND-- He'd have picked 'em up on His pirate ship and sailed off. "I'll teach you to be press-gangers of men," not fishers. "Prey for your enemies, yarrrghhhh." ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: Paul Burke Date: 29 Sep 06 - 03:30 AM "Avast, sinner!" Keats was once seriously ill, so ill that he was pronounced dead, but thanks to the persistence and skill of a talented young doctor, he was revived and eventually recovered. When he was well enough to receive visitors, Chapman went to see him, and the conversation came eventually round to his near- death experience. He described walking towards a bright light, but rather than being frightened, he seemed to be drawn on. He came at last to a beautiful garden, lit by perfect light, with the most astounding flowers and luscious fruits, and echoing with harmonious birdsong. "And who did you see there?" cried Chapman, fascinated. Keats pondered a moment, then replied, "That was the funny thing. I was all alone. There wasn't a sinner in the place." |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: MMario Date: 29 Sep 06 - 04:16 PM Jeri - it's not even moribund until it drops off the page - and it's got another 23 plus hours for that! it still had 18 hours to go even when you posted. The fishermen as they hauled their nets heard angels singing on high and hurried to the tumbled wreck up on the shore so dry Beneath the light of a shining star they welcomed Heaven's newborn 'tar' latest sprout of David, YARRRR! Sing out a loud 'Amen'! |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: Severn Date: 29 Sep 06 - 06:03 PM Q: Do Pirates get their limbs back in heaven? Are all hookers and peggin' rituals forbidden? Q: Will there be any Holy Stoning the decks? Q: Will all letters of Mark be changed to letters of Paul, or will Paul be heaved? Q: Will there be Heavin' 'n' Haulin' in Heaven's Halls? Q: Will Polly-Theism allow for parrots? Q: Will they meet Noah and Joan of Aaaarrrrgh? My favorite Heavenly Pirate is Gesthemene Sam.... "Whar IS that rascally Rabbi?" First hymn lesson in the Official Mel Bay Pirate Harp Instructional manual: "Where You There When My Crew Sea-fried My Lard?....." Second hymn: "The Old Rugged Crossbones" (There'll be none of that Harp-Poontang or any of those other Earthy Earthly type tunes played up here!....) Within the week they'll feel more like Pontius Pirate, "I wash my hook of this whole thing...." |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: Charley Noble Date: 29 Sep 06 - 09:38 PM Well, pirates will get "quarters" in Heaven. And they will sip the best Port Royal rum. And there will be at least one buxom angel for each knee. And each pirate will have his choice of concertina or banjo to play. And St. Peter will wear an eye patch and a china-red bandana over his bald pate. And there will be animated discussion of just what a "what's it" is! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: Imagine Talk Like a Pirate Day in Heaven From: Severn Date: 24 Sep 20 - 08:00 PM It used to be easier. Now we have to learn to speak and sing in Somalian. What does their flag look like? Can we improve upon it? What if the crew all quit the ship and join the Air Force to become Parrot Troopers? Parrots will never replace pigeons. If you think stool pigeons can' keep a secret, a parrot is loud enough that the whole town will know everything in no time at all. A dove wouldn't do as a messenger because it has a conscience. But I digress....... |
