[impressive]

Well, today is "International Talk Like a Pirate" day, matey!

Ahoy! Who's swabbin' the poop deck?

 

[impressive]

[ABSTRUSE]

Ahoy! Who's swabbin' the poop deck?

Not my job.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel down the front of his pants...
The bartender says "Hey, do you know you have a steering wheel down the front of your pants?"

and the pirate says........."Arrrrr and it's driving me nuts."

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I'm waiting, very impatiently I might add, for some caring, dexterious person to shiver my timber.

SHE WAS....
dark and a rovin eye and her hair hang down in rivulets
she was a fine girl
a decent girl
but one of the rakish kind....

This has nothing to do with pirates, whether seafaring or the baseball team from Pittsburgh, but after all, the original question was "What Day Is It?"

I can now report that this day is September 19, and that at least two famous things happened on this day in history (besides Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning eloping to Italy):

1876 - Melville R. Bissell of Grand Rapids, MI patented the carpet sweeper.

1900 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid pulled their first joint bank withdrawl.

BUT, if you insist in returning to the subject of pirates, here's a training manual for certain Lit members who may be aspiring buccaneers.

hey...pirates are EOE ever since the bilge burrowing scum sucking heathens got all nit picky about ...this is this and that is that... yammering on and on about fairness and bollocks. so, no matter who you are now, you can be a pirate too. (only 19.95 the first min and one million every other after. brought to you by...ScamKo, searching Tortuga for the best of the worst since 1492)

Vella, that was LOL funny. Okay, truth be told all I really did was chuckle at a somewhat elevated volumn. But that reply was still funny.

Do you think those Tortuga pirates keep kosher and would they use Beachwood 4-5789 as their phone number?

Yes, I know it's really Beechwood but that's not nautical. So gimme a break, already. Besides, no doubt you're WAY too young to remember that song.

Dull, degenerate minds want to know.
