Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: The Walrus Date: 27 Aug 08 - 05:28 AM Am I correct in assuming that TLAPD approaches? If this day is held as a holy day by the CFSM (Pastafarians), then surely they must also honour "'Saint' Robert Newton of Mummerset", the man who gave pirates their distinct accent and habit if speaking only in the present tense. So I turns to face execution dock at Wappin', I raises me glass an' I drinks to the memory o' pirates past. W |

Personally I likes to read," A history of pirates" by Nigel Cawthorne. Then I kisses the captain's daughter or get to grips with Jaques Sores, but I thinks they're getting better. Shiver me timbers |

Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Sep 08 - 09:35 PM This song was just forwarded to me via Bob Zentz and does reflect the spirit of the occasion: Talk Like A Pirate Day (Words and Music: © 2003 by Tom Smith) Most days are like all of the others, Go to work, come back home, watch TV, But, brother, if I had me druthers, I'd chuck it and head out to sea, For I dream of the skull and the crossbones, I dream of the great day to come, When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main And trade me computer for rum! ARRR! T' me,...Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! When laptops are benches God gave us fer wenches, And a sail ain't a low price ta pay! When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered And every last buckle is swashed, We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs And pound back the grog till we're sloshed! Yo ho.... Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello, Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed", Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow, "AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!" Ye can't keep this fun to yerself, I bet, So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man! We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet, But a damn good retirement plan! T' me,...Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin' And bein' polite is passe! When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty And let out a hearty YO HO! And if this offends you, hold y'r breath as we sends you Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho.... We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!" Buy latte with pieces of eight We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun The loser, o' course, is worst mate! When we hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er, We fill 'em with loathing and fear, We'll plunder and pillage each city and village, Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer! There ain't no computin' or morning commutin', No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me, No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin', I'm knowin' the pull of the sea. The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls, I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon, Verizon can hold all my calls! To wear a red coat full o' buckles, To earn a few duelling scars, Well, at least we can get a few chuckles By filling the office with ARRRs! And maybe we'll never get closer, Than watchin' 'em on the big screen, So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow, And every damn one in between! T' me, Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! That time in September when sea dogs remember That grown-ups still know how ta play! When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy And a soft-wear patch covers your eye, Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs And buccaneers all till we die! So hoist up the mainsils and shut down your brain cells, They only would get in the way, Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party, It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: GUEST,The Rest of the Alphabet Date: 19 Sep 08 - 04:17 PM Okay people, look here... There are twenty-six letters in the alphabet. Count 'em. Twenty-six. So why is it that only "R" gets to be a big deal on Talk Like a Pirate Day? Does anyone ever say, "Emmm! Avast me hearties and swab the poopdeck afore I tickle yer gizzards with me pigsticker! Emmm!" No! It's always "Arrr". Well, the other twenty-five of us have had enough. Consider this a warning shot across your scurvey bows. If we don't get some recognition, and get it pronto, we're going to board yer fleabitten sorry excuses for pirate ships, haul down yer Jolly Rogers, and shove 'em up yer communal arses! We demand equal representation! |

Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: bubblyrat Date: 20 Sep 08 - 09:31 AM I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but a good way to identify yourself as a pirate afficionado is to stand on one leg,close one eye,and,imitating Robert Newton (the definitive Long John) exclaim lasciviously ; " Who put sand in the vaseline ?? It'll be a rough passage tonight ! " |

Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: open mike Date: 20 Sep 10 - 02:50 AM a pirate's life is a rough life... so many missing eyes, legs and hands... with eye patches, wooden legs and hooks, the life of plundering and looting goes on! |

Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: katlaughing Date: 20 Sep 10 - 03:14 PM I've been having a blast listening to my Avast program announcing to me, in piratespeak, that all my blackguards have been quarantined and such things as a ship's bell dinging, then, "Ahoy, matey, yer ship be secure!" It's much better than hearing the flat-toned, mechanical woman's voice saying, "Virus database has been updated." |

Subject: RE: BS: talk like a pirate day From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 22 Sep 10 - 04:50 AM Oh arrrrrrgh'it all went well shipmates! First of all mates I swabbed the decks so everything was ship shape before the crew woke up. Then plundered me piggybank for hidden treasure and loot to go scouring Morrisons's supermarket for grub to fill our bellies oh arrrrgh! The main reason for this quest was to get supplies of fruit to prevent scurvy and mutiny amongst the crew. After ransacking the aisles I came upon some grog to wet our whistles to go down a treat after dinner oh arrrrrgh! So it was all hands on deck me hearties and a yo, ho, ho and a bottle of er, cider?! |
