Arrrr! International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Mark your calendars, it's coming up Sept. 19th. I had never heard of this day, but thanks to some folks here at ET, I have become enlightened.

May you forever be touched by his noodly appendage, Andykeck. (My wife almost fell off her chair laughing when she'd read that page, and that particular line, a few months ago!)

I always take part in ITLaPD, even if only momentarily - I traditionally tell this joke:

"Did you hear about the new pirate movie coming out? It's rated Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!"

Enjoy!

It's a shame that this is what people know us for. Sad part is that many people here are flaberghasted and flustered at the actions of the board.

I was very pleasantly surprised that at least a couple of the board members wrote very funny letters back to the guy.

I think it's sad that people think Kansas is flat. That's not what I saw.

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Of course, the only Pirate Bonney of note appears to have been a woman, Anne Bonney - one of the few chick pirates. Hey, I kinda like that, "chick pirate" . . . .

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Yarg, and other random assortments of pirate like talk...

I be Bloody Harry Flint

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Okay, I just read up on Pastafarianism....

I laughed my ass off. Tried to explain it to my wife. She didn't laugh. Perhaps she is an alien.

I be Bloody Davy Kidd.

I guess that's what I get for answering truthfully to the fighting questions in that Pirate Name thingy...I'm the one doing the damage in this pic.



And a little earlier in the same match...leveled the guy with a body shot.



Anyone need a good capn' of the guard for their ship?
