Soo .. .. Arrr .. Avast .. And buckets of booty for ya all!!
Yarr so that be why history channel was running all those pirate programs.
Oh a pirate lives for kill'n, for blood, n guts, n gore
But when the day is over ya still need somethin more
Women were scarce when ya came to sign a board
So ya grab the cabin boy and ya treat him like a...
Well it's a short hard life when ya do what we do
Grabbing silver and gold, and a little booty too
so how do ya survive when ya sail the ocean blue
A cabin boy on his knees
he loves to appease
and he does what we please
when we're pirating the seas
Arr.... Everyone seems to have forgotten what today is. And the day is almost done.
right the international pirate day thing again.
Alright everyone bive me your booty! ARRGH! if Jack sparrow were alive today he'd be the one who orcastrated the OJ Simpson robbery.
Shiver me timbers, OJ has been ordered to pay bail at cut throat, and hand over his passport. he be free to traverse the countryside of the the colonies of the united states.
AYE! I'd spent many a day thinkin' aboot this day that comes but whence a yer. Tis a most joyous event to swashbuckle down the streets in a merry get-up yarghing all the more.
[aka- I don't just talk like a pirate. I dress like one.]
Everyone on the radio was talking like a pirate. It got old. Fast.
Especially when so many people don't know how to do it (properly)
I found it interesting, that I happened across a Dagwood comic from January 7th which had the boss in a pirate get-up threatening his employees in Pirate Speach. And yet... there were so many grammer issues. For one, it existed.
yarr?
narr
arr :[
Gaaaaarrrr!!! *jumps off the plank*
Seeing as how I still have a couple minutes to talk like a pirate...
Poor fellow! See at our feet they kneel; Our hearts we cannot steel Against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!
Arg, t'ere be bein' no musical theater aboard t'is ship, matey.
If someone came up to me in years gone by talking like a pirate at random, I thought it was amusing, they were insane, and respected anyone willing to show a goofy side in public. It was fun.
"Official" holiday now. If someone comes up to me on this day and talks like a pirate, I just suddenly crave mutton....

I invoke Queen Victoria. Now you have to allow it.
I find the whole "talk like a pirate" thing rather silly.
Besides, I cast my affiliation as "Ninja."
though I do make a rather piratey "Yarr!" as a pseudo battlecry.
I also say "Mate" sometimes, though I suppose that's more Australian than Pirate, eh, mate?
Well, I didn't want to say anything...

Actually, no, we didn't. And now I have to merge this thread into the other one, over in the Villa (I think)...
