Oh my, but you lads are in for a very chastening experience! My merry crew and my plucky ship are capable of marine choreography that will leave you breathless and lying on your beam ends. We're loading our long irons with chain shot this very minute and dancing and prancing in delight at the thought of the havoc we will wreak upon your leaky scows!

Still, I am willing to give you both one more chance at redemption. I will accept a humble apology (if it is couched in properly respectful language). We can then meet for a nice libation at Percival's, where they have the best dancers in the whole Caribbean.

Otherwise, I regret to say that your seafaring days are approaching their penultimate finale. C'est la vie!

Please be judicious in your choices. The Pink Pearl awaits you!

Mauve Peter

p.s. Consider giving up all this "ARRRR!", and "ye" and "avast" nonsense. It makes you sound crude and lacking in subtlety. You'll never get a royal pardon and a knighthood by carrying on in such a fashion. I intend to retire as a Grand Duke and live in the lap of luxury after I have sacked Panama and plundered the Spanish treasure fleet, which I have promised myself to accomplish prior to reaching age 40.

The standard for pirate talk and behavior was set by Robert Newton, mentioned above by Big Pink. As Long John Silver in "Treasure Island," he was the pirate with (perhaps)a soft heart, but in "Blackbeard" he had no redeeming features whatsoever, consistently charmed his own crew into fatal activities, and talked his way out of a major mutiny or two. He introduced the all-purpose pirate word "Arrrgh" to the public with immortal phrases like "Arrrgh, Main-yard, ye kilt me best hack 'n slash man..." and "Arrrgh, its a fine buxom wench ye are..."

(A lot of that seafaring jargon came from the poor Irish sailors who were hired or shanghied onto those ships. "Bucko" for instance came from the Irish "me Buchal" and so on. You can see the patterns.)

"Blackbeard" should be required viewing for anyone interested in pirate speech and behavior. I saw it as a kid, and I'll never forget the last scene in which Blacbeards crew buried him up to his neck on the beach and watched the tide come in.

"Mad Dog Read" 'ere, in pedant mode.

"Grog" is the Royal Navy's term for pure rum diluted with four parts water, and issued by pursers aboard. The term "Grog" itself is derived from Admiral Vernon, a stern disciplinarian who was known as "Old Grogram" by association with this stiff, unbending material.

(Obviously, Vernon deprecated having seamen lying about half dead from privately acquired rum, usually pure firewater, and so made it an official, strictly controlled ration issue).

Where was I ? Oh, I remember. Essentially, no self-respecting pirate would admit to drinking Grog (unless they had been discharged from, or deserted from, the Royal Navy).

End pedant mode. Is such sea-lawyering punishable by marooning, keel-hauling, being triced up to the yardarm, or just having me vittles stapped ?

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!

Not sure how many of ye lads have heard them Ontario pirates sing this successful pirate's ditty:


By Al Parrish
Tanglefoot © 1994
From Saturday Night at Hardwood Lake
Adapted slightly by Charlie Ipcar

Traighli Bay

F-----Dm------------------------F---------------Dm
It was June and it was hot, when on board the ship we got,
-----------------------Gm-------Bb-------------F
Shot and powder for the guns, and a hogshead full of rum,
---Am----------------------Dm
Salt cod to last until the winter squalls;
------------------------------------F----------------Dm
We made for the southwest, where the hunting would be best,
---------------------------Gm---------Bb-------------F
Where them Spanish ships of old, ladened down with Aztec gold,
-----------Am------------------------Dm
Were the fairest game for gentlemen of fortune.

Chorus:
Dm------F--------------------Dm
And with tar on our pigtails, and blood on our rapiers
------Bb------------F---------------C
We'll fly the skull and crossbones. By God, we'll take no prisoners.
------F-----Dm-------------F---------------Dm
('Tis) hi ho a-way, boys; we'll sail for Traigh-li Bay, boys,
Bb------------------------C7-----F
Hoist the Jolly Roger, at the break of day.

From up the crow's nest, then, called our third mate Mister Flynn,
"Set the course and hold her steady, and for action make her ready –
There's a Spanish galleon off our starboard bow;"
We raised the black flag high, as that Spaniard turned to fly;
We followed in her wake, 'til we could overtake,
And dismasted her with chain shot and cannon ball.        Chorus

We pulled up along side with our grappling hooks and lines,
Guns and cutlasses in hand, on the gunnels we did stand;
Every sailor from the captain to the cabin boy;
Saw three dead the chain had flayed; as we raised and crossed our blades,
To their mates we gave our best, as the sun sank in the west,
With pikes and swords, pistols, fists and feet.        Chorus

From the darkness till the dawn, that battle rag-ed on,
We fought with manly fitness, for we meant to leave no witness;
We lost Mister Flynn and one leg from the cabin boy;
But with their treasure we retired, and their canvas we set fire,
Left them sinking in the deep, where their silent bones can sleep,
And we forged a leg of gold for the cabin boy.        Chorus

'Twas August and still warm, when to Traighli we returned.
Fifty-eight days on the Main; we've no need to sail again;
We've gold and silver more than we can spend;
Now half a century has passed, and of that crew I am the last;
Fifty years I've walked these docks, and when I get a chance to talk
I tell of how I got this golden leg!        Chorus x2

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Walk the plank? By the powers!!!! That be no real punishment fer a seafarin' man. That be a Victorian embellishment fer them adventurin' tales what they were so fond of. Yer actual pyrates an' buccaneers (them wi' the hat...) didn't hold with no walking o' the plank!!! Discipline on a freebooting ship were a more delicate thing see you. A cap'n that wanted to keep his ship and his crew took good care to make sure they knew what'd happen to any man-jack as turned agin 'is cap'n an' 'is mates!!! Swift and merciless were the usual way, wi' a cut throat or a ball through his body. Fer a matter less serious, if'n a touch up wi' the cat weren't considered sufficient, then a good keel-haulin' be more like it. Or maroonin' the miscreant on a sandbank an' then standin' off as the tide come in were allus good fer a laugh . That be more like the thing, aharr!! Mind, that be fer a first offence like. Fer an idea o' something a bit more serious, I'd refer ye to Iron Roger's inventiveness a few posts back......

Mind ye, ye'll have to do without Iron Roger hissel' as this 'ere vessel o' mine be a-presently a-bearin' down on him wi' a full broadside o' twelves and nines ready fer his breakfast, an' he's all took aback, the swab, wi' his sails at slack an' his scurvy crew o' dockside tavern scrapin's cowerin' in the scuppers. Now then, Bonney, where be ye now wi' yer high flown words, ye foul damned drunken scabby black-hearted and accursed apology fer a seafarer? Mister 'Awkins, I'll thank 'e ter put a match to yer touch-hole as she rises. Fire away together, damn yez!!! Aye, take ye that through yer rotten bulwarks, Bonney!!!!!! Aharrrrr!!!!

Faith now, but my two favorite pirates are Captain Peter Blood (fictional) and Grace O'Malley (real). They never talked like Cornishmen, because, as Captain Blood would say, they had the honor to be Irish.
Grace O'Malley would, undoubtably say, "pogue mo breachan". I can't say it anymore, because my sister's one.

Scarface Rufus, ye foul, gibbering, scullion urchin! Ye're a fine talker, matey, but ye'll sing a different tune with 17 inches o' cold steel in yer gullet is what I'm thinkin'! I've a mind tae flay ye alive and then hang ye dangling from the nearest yardarm so the seagulls can peck out yer eyeballs, ye scurrillous swab! Damn ye fer a whoreson and a heathen dunghill rat! If yer brains were made o' black powder there'd nowt be enough in there tae knock a flea off yer festering eyebrow! Yer a walkin' disgrace to the pirate trade! I've seen yer kind before, matey, all puffed up with pride like a spiny blowfish and blowin' off steam like Vesuvius on a rainy day, but when it comes down tae brass tacks ye've not got a single loaded long iron on yer gundeck! Ye're the kind that sleeps in the gutter with pigs, cos no one else'll have ye! Aye, and I've a mind tae strip ye bare and tie ye down in the sun where the fire ants can slowly drive ye mad! There are so many ways I've got planned tae end yer sorry life that even me parrot can't count 'em all...and that bird can count tae seven hundred and seven! Say yer prayers ye blasted guttersnipe, and prepare tae meet Old Nick and all his demons in the fiery place that's been prepared fer you and your ilk!!!

note to C-flat: Black Bart (Barti Ddu) and Henry Morgan were Welsh. I seem to remember reading about a 'bad lot' who terrorized the Bay of Fundy as some point; pirates of a sort, and Welsh.

Landlocked tho' we be, apart from the River Aire and the Aire and Calder canal, my offspring, steered her course to college in Pontefract to find that she was alone...Yaaargh! No other members of the brethren had dared to reveal their true identities! It seems that she alone was aware of the public relations exercise that had been planned for 19th September.

Nevertheless, she steered herself into her media study class, where she singlehandedly explained the cut and thrust of hand to hand combat on land and indoors, as portrayed in a recent documentary by Buena Vista on the same.

Aharrr, me fine fellow!!! Aye, an' ye're a sight too free wi' yer talk o' a lashing, see you. A lash is it? I'll tell 'e o' the lash, damn yer eyes fer a spineless swab and blast 'e fer a foundered and broke sailorman else. D'yez know what happened to the last man as I had tied to the gratings over the matter of a minor disagreement about as how 'e reckoned as I'd took more than my own rightful share o' the booty from a lordly Don Plate-ship? Aye, twas only a taste o' the cat he had and he were begging for mercy. A pitiful sight he were, wi' the tears a-coursing down his lined face and every fibre o' his body a-screaming out for an end to the tearin' pain!!! Say-ha!!!Aye. just a taste o' the cat an' he were a-beggin' an' a-cryin' out fer anything to stop the raw agony..... Aye see you, an' I'm thinkin' that maybe ye'll be the next. An' then ye'll know just how terrible and awful a thing it is to have the cat.... with no onions in the gravy.

Argh, me proud beauties, in my persona as the Dread Pirate Vane, I see clearly that you are all in need of a good lashing--or at least a tickling with a feather whilst spreadeagled in the main rigging.
