Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day
Well! I am SO disturbed at all this hostile, intemperate language flying back and forth between Iron Roger and Scarface Rufus! Now boys, settle down, or I shall be forced to sally forth, as it were, slap both your faces, take you by the ears and knock your heads together till you agree to get along decently as good gentlemen of fortune should!
You may have heard of my ship, the Pink Pearl, renowned all across the Spanish Main. She's outfitted with the prettiest set of sails you ever saw, in bright coral pink, and her upper works are trimmed with avocado piping around the gilded decorations. My crew are a fine set of lads, not a missing tooth among the lot, and they're outfitted in chartreuse leggings that just have to be seen!
I don't allow this sort of abusive language to be used aboard the Pink Pearl, and I don't suffer it easily when ashore either. Really, now, would you want your mothers to hear you talk that way???
I thought not. Let's be well behaved and all get along, shall we?
By the way, you have no doubt heard of my father, the famous Blue Peter? He personally captured 35 galleons, 12 sloops, 3 frigates, 17 pinnaces, 1 galleass, and a barge full of dugongs during his unrivalled career.
Well, that should smooth things over. I hope to share some reminiscences and a joke or two with both of you over a nice glass of absinthe some time in Tortuga or Port-au-Prince. Or tea at Percival's perhaps?
Tally Ho, lads!
