It's 'Talk like a Pirate Day'

[elfin_odalisque]

Ahoy there! Forget Independance Day and Groundhog Day. Who cares about National Nude Day?

September 19 is officially 'International Talk like a Pirate Day'. You don't believe me, huh? Here's the Wiki link;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_like_a_pirate_day

Salty Dog has had to take the official site down because of too many hits (shots across his bows). Google it and you get lots of references. (Ports of call).

Avast there, when are we going to get a contest on LitLubbers to mark this auspicious date? Corsairs and buccanneers, Johnny Depp and kidnapped noble ladies - not to mention rum and the lash.

Anyway, where's that one-eyed, blue-faced parrot when you need him? MarshAlien, who's going to shiver your timbers today?

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Oh, Stella and her AV will fit right in with this one.

As for me - "Lay on the sails, men. This breeze is like a fart from heaven!"

 

[Stella_Omega]

Oh, aye, lassie.
I talked like a pirate the first time nigh on four years ago-- never stopped.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

*slapping thighs heartily* 'Coxswain Stella, d'you reckon this pale, blonde Irish lass Jenny will fetch much in the dockside auction? Bit on the scrawny side and too full of lip.

Shall we just heave her over the side?'

That's Captain-- Captain Stella.

The blond lassie 'ull sell just fine, wi' a bit o leather twixt her teeth to shut her gob

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Aye, me tongue may be sharp, but me ass with fetch a pretty shilling in the ports of the Carrabean.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Aye, me tongue may be sharp, but me ass with fetch a pretty shilling in the ports of the Carrabean.

There's some as would pay dear for a sharp... tongue.
Pity nothin can be done fer that parry-lised middle finger of yourn, love.

Me vile finger has more uses than attitude, Capt'n

 

[Stella_Omega]

Me vile finger has more uses than attitude, Capt'n

Aye? Come along to me cabin, and I'll see a demonstration of its talents.

Avast, ye barnacle and heed me warnin'! Ye'll be leaving yer wee elfin hands off me sweet Marshmelly's timber, or it'll be yourself heaved over the side and into the drink.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Be ye offerin' me lip, missie?

 

[tickledkitty]

That looked more like some tongue, Cap'n Stella.

 

[Stella_Omega]

That looked more like some tongue, Cap'n Stella.

Indeed it were some tongue!

Seems t'me the lass ought ta stay on board a bit longer.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

Avast, ye barnacle and heed me warnin'! Ye'll be leaving yer wee elfin hands off me sweet Marshmelly's timber, or it'll be yourself heaved over the side and into the drink.

Any more of your furry landlubbers prattle and you'll be walking the plank, me fine beauty.

 

[Liar]

Mandatory YARRR.


Ok, I'm done. Carry on with whatever you were doing.

 

[trysail]

Arghhhhhh! Well, me hearties, an old salty dog such as meself can n'er resist the temptation of sailor talk, wenches, and long trade wind broad reach sleigh rides. And whether we be bound for the Caribees or Nantucket or old Maui, come a stove boat or not, Jove himself canna stave my soul.

"Them was the days, sonnies
them was the men,
them was the ships,
as we'll ne'er see again.

Oh, but it was somethin'
then to be alive-
thrashin' under royals,
South o' forty-five!"

[MarshAlien]

Hey! How did my name --

Oh, yeah, sorry.

ARRRR! How is it that I find me fine name be bantered about between two beauties, each willin' to toss the other overboard so that she can --

On second thought, never mind. Forget I was here. Carry on as you were. Don't let me interrupt you.

I would remind ye, however, that I be an alien of prodigious appetites.

("And greedy, don't you think, MarAAAAHHHHHH!" "That'll be all out of you, me fine conscience, or 'tis you 'll be walkin' the plank.")

 

[neonlyte]

Aye, me tongue may be sharp, but me ass with fetch a pretty shilling in the ports of the Carrabean.

Avast behind.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Ye'd best whip out yer cutlass, matey, and pacify them them two.

 

[slyc_willie]

I'm of a mind t' whip ye layabouts a switch, what with all this foolishness ye be banterin'.

But this ain't me ship, alas.

 

[trysail]

.............and a couple of pearls of nautical wisdom:


From that amazing old salt, Teodor Jozef Korzeniowski (Joseph Conrad),
"Any fool can carry on, but it takes a wise man to shorten sail in time."


and then there's the incredible and amazing John Paul Jones,
"I wish to have no connexion with a ship that does not sail fast,
FOR I INTEND TO GO IN HARM'S WAY!"

Well, well, Mr. Slyc Willie, of the long sword and pirate's booty. What say ye of whippin's?

 

[slyc_willie]

Well, well, Mr. Slyc Willie, of the long sword and pirate's booty. What say ye of whippin's?

Aye there, ye tickled lass. Talk ye not o' me booty, else ye'll be gettin' a full whippin'! An' I don' mind sayin' i'm as handy with th' lash as I am with th' blade . . .

Aye, there be many a fine man indeed, what give his life to the Navy. Couldn't countenance it, meself...

O'course, if I were the one t'be forming that navy, it might be another story, eh?
