only if it's pining for the fjords.

Arrrrrrr! Me lady friend showed up fer fish fry last night with a parrot on her shoulder. The landlubbers who work there had no idea what it was all about. So I made `em all walk the plank. Aaaarrrrr!

In honour of TLaP day my friend J and I watched 'Enlightenment' a story arc from 1980s DrWho which is partially set on a pirate ship (a proper pirate ship with sails and a batty captain, but floating through space!) Arrr!

No, this is :D

OMFG - that could be even worse!

I clicked on LJs link and my computer was hit with a mega virus lol.

Same here, Avast advised to break the connection immediately. :eyebrow:

As obnoxious as Hasselhoff is, he cannot come close to the vomit of Rickroll. Rick is still the king of crap.

um.. no.

It's coming up! On a Saturday this year. Better start polishing up my parlay!

Maybe I'll have a P A R T Y!

I'll be mime Pirate

You'll be made to walk the Plank!

and not get an invitation to the partay

Is that a euphemism? ;)

only for those with dirty minds.

(looks around). That's all of us, right?

This is an outstandingly good time. With pirates. Arr.

thanks for sharing. But I wasn't particularly impressed with that vid.* Were you?

*unless it's your work product, in which case, it's brilliant!

but that second think looks fun! Think I could replicate that in my living room?

The Yo Ho video is not my work product, it's more about the song that the images. I thought it was rather lame also ... would have preferred a concert video, actually

I'm sure you could build a full size repro of a pirate ship in your living room ... including a trampoline and a pool. You might need to raise the ceiling to accommodate the trapeze act, though.

I'm tellin' yah, it were spektakular. Arrrgh, matey.

My whole crew went to the pirate dinner while we were in Orlando. In pirate costumes.

fun!

(considers) I could build a cardboard box pirate ship. I have those little doohickeys which I never used. Like this:

garrrrrrr ya ready?

I'll probably celebrate with my work buddies on Friday. It's a made up holiday anyway, right? (wish I had a pirate translator)

Here's a letter-by-letter translator

A - R
B - R
C - R
D - R
E - R
....

;)

haha! Unwisely, I tried reading that aloud: "R, r, r, r, r, . . . "

Like a seal! :D

You never cease to amaze me mon, you code-cracker extraordinaire! You should so work in espionage or something. :p

I think this has been posted before, but there's one here:

Here's a few movie quotes I translated:


I be goin' t' make th' lad an offer he canna refuse.

I be as mad as hell, an' I be nay goin' t' take this anymore!

As God be me witness, I`ll ne're be hungry again.

Life be a banquet, an' most poor suckers be starvin' t' Davy Jones' locker!

You rock! :lol:

We'll be on a boat going deep sea fishing that day. I guess we'll all sound more sensible talking like pirates then huh?

We're breaking out the sabres and fencing like pirates...

All ye scaliwags!! RR'nt ye going to rhyme with rrrrr'ange? Hit the decks!

If ye don' rhyme with rrr'ange ye get no meade...

Maybe I'll consume large quantities of grog.

making plans for the party: let's see --- pina coladas? (that's the only drink I like with rum); parlay games?

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGH you having a partay?

is there a diving boooarrrrrrd at yer pool? if so, make yer cabinboys walk the plank.

if not, use a plank ;)

Pin the X on the treasure
treasure hunt &/or scavenger hunt

How childish do you want to be?

We buried treasure in a box of sand and had the kids dig it out with plastic forks taped to chopsticks (to make them longer) ....but the twist was that it was teams of two -one person was the eyes (hands on hips) and the other was the hands (behind the "eyes", hands throught the loops of the "eye's" arms, can't see what they're dealing with)
It would be a good drunken adults game

Bob for apples or rum-filled chocolates

...I can come up with more if you want....

or go japanese and hold a pilates party......

BD#1 gave me a stern talking to: peanuts & beer, no overdoing it!

I'm well known for party games. ;)

make her walk the plank! traitor!

(you MUST bob for rum-filled chocolates)

That can be arranged.

You'll need a parrot though.

Can I borrow yours for the day?

I think TLAPD is gonna be a wash for me this year. Lots of crappiness in my life, plus I have to work tomorrow. Not enough energy for a party. Oh well.

Our All Pirates Eve celebration started out on an interesting note. Unknown to Lil' Pete, a local lawyer showed up to see if fencing would be his kind of scene. He came up the stairs and approached the coach who was frantically signalling Lil' Pete not to approach but she thought he meant pause before the planned assault on her club mates. In full pirate garb, two foam sabres, two monkeys, red satin sash, eye patch, and bandana she lept with a hearty "Yar!" from behind a partition right in front of this complete stranger. The silence was awkward to say the least. Ah well, if he comes back he's our kind of people.

tff :lol: expect a lawsuit for medical costs incurred for heart tests.....

Yo ho, me hearties. Arrrrrrr, and the like to all o' ye.

AAAARG!!

2 d 2

I think I've been living in a cave cuz I've never heard of "talk like a pirate day" before. :p

Top o' the morning to ye, mateys? Planning any looting today?

No looting today, perhaps some violent theft, a murder or two and a few rapes later if I have the time.

I'll play some Starrrrcraft 2.

Arrrr. I did be seeing a Wife Swap where the Cap'n who starrted the Day's wench swapped with a landlubber.

ha! the Facebook pirate English is cracking me up!

No no, it's rape then murder, loot then burn... let's keep that straight, people.:haha:

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrren't you glad it's that day again?

Aye, matey! Tis now time to swab the mizzen mast, stow the deck, and plank the walk, t'would seem.... Garrrrrr!


Hey, do you know why pirates wore an eye patch?

It was so when they went from above deck to below, whilst raiding, they could switch eyes, an the one that had been covered would already be adjusted to low light!

really? I didn't know that. how interesting, I hope it's true.

I tried it when i was out walking in the dark. I was reading the cellar on my phone... and kept walking into the curb because it was blinding me. So, I started closing my left eye, reading with the right... then i'd switch eyes and look up to get oriented. works. pain in the ass to do, but it DOES work.

Hmm Wikipedia (the font of all truth in knowledge) says:

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


The thought of pilots using them is a little scary, though. I'd like them to have some distance perception going on there......

Mythbusters did a thing on the eyepatch question. They showed that you didn't just save yourself the minute or two of light-to-dark adjustment, but that after about 20 minutes in the pitch black, your eyes go into a secondary level of night vision that is far more acute than what you get right away, and keeping the eyepatch on also preserved that "extra" level of vision in the covered eye. Still not supported one way or the other by historical records, of course, but as they said, it works so well that they'd have been fools not to use it that way, with all these eye patches floating around for experimentation.

Shiver me timbers, why dinnnit dey juss whar sunglasses?
