talk like a pirate day is nearing ( sept 19th)
I would type this out in pirate speak, but it's not here yet. but get ready for it.
gar don't wait until it's too late to brush up. do your homework, make it work.
Everytime I try to talk like a pirate, I wind up sounded like Mr. Crabs on Spongebob. Arrrr.
One time, we all went to a small town resturant in Williams and for some bazzar reason, all of us felt compelled to give our order talking like a pirate. Even got the waiter to give out an "arrrr." Had the table rolling.
Talk like a pirate day seems to have really gathered momentum this year. I've seen it pop up all over the place.
By the way, I found out about it from Jimmy Johnson at the Arlo and Janis
site.
I think that the Flying Spaghetti Monster has caused the resurgence in pirate interest.
Anything we can do to combat global warming...
When someone told me about this a couple years ago I didn't believe them... is this silly in a fun way or is it just me?
Arrrr! (Just practicing...)
Strange...at my house, we talk like pirates all the time. There's a day for it now?
Guess I'll have to abstain in order to make it special.

Yep. You know what this means? You can stop being ashamed of what you do behind closed doors. We, as society, recognize you. Come out of the closet and embrace your priateness.
Even the catholics get into talk like a pirate day!!
We have a girl in our coven who is completely enthralled with Talk Like a Pirate Day. She's been on pins and needles since July. I think we've sort of taken the gleam off of it by buying her all the little pirate baubles we find when we come across them in the various two-bit stores.
Instead of talking like a pirate, can we just dress like one instead? And if so, do the girls have to go topless? :unsure:
Be my guest, but, please, remember to select someone else as the designated photographer. Huzzah!
Talk like a Pirate day, what a stupid idea Arrr!! ooops Its catchy :D
I suppose a Scottish pirate would say "Arrrr, mon!"? :biggrin:
sounds more like a Jamaican Pirate......mon
Ahoy!! Type like a Py-rait! YAR!!
Now I have to edit all me posts of the marnin'...rrrrrrrrgh
Shiver me timbers.
Arr.
Matey.
Have I fulfilled the requirement? Am I done yet?
Arrgg! This is the worst morin' i've ever weathered.
Avast and prepared to be boarded!
ALL DAY ye rotting slacker! Heave, now! Raar!
Prepare to have yer booty plundered!!
I've got a pic of me dressed as a pirate - I gotta dig it up.
ermm... yo ho ho
Over already. So sad. But something to look forward to next year!
After all of the hubbub, Sara said it was November 19. Now I'm just confused. And you know what a confused pirate says, don't you?
"Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!! Bite me crank, matey!!"
Sara's wrong, it be September 19th. ;)
Shiver me timbers, lad. Your wench must be deep in her cups.
These rum runners'll tell you true.ALL DAY ye rotting slacker! Heave, now! Raar!
In the marnin' ye'll be speakin' th' right words, or walkin' th' plank.
Ye ha' bin warned. Yar!
i'm so totally doing this live tomorrow. i read moby dick in preparation.
arrrr, these be the warranties, pikey. which will ya be buyin' today? none, says ye? well, this be my knife, then. care to reconsider? arrr....
Shiver me timbers! Aaargghhh! Bite me crank, matey!
Just warmin' up...
Arrrr! Some o ye pirates be talkin in code don't ya know? Messages be hidden deep in the first word of every scurvy line that crosses their foul lips. Are ye ready to be speaking like a code talking pirate then? Hidden treasure is the mark of a true pirate!
Bite down on the leather son. Me thinks it'll be a long night. F3 has lain a challenge. You shouldn't be backing down from. Scurvey is the reward for the laggard. Dog you'll be ifn you don't have a go. :)
Arrrg! Matey, your response comes awful quick ya know. I've been a wonderin' jest who'll be man enough to take the bait. Lost at sea these many years I've seen many a foul creature walk the plank. My word alone isn't enough, you'll need to see for yourself how bad the splinters are. Tweezers are no use to ya when you're down in davy jones locker.
Arrrr!
But it's peaceful quiet on th' bottom o' th' sea. Some splashin and thrashin at the start, sure. Messages soon reach yer brain that yer lungs, yer poor lungs, crushed an burnin, need relief! Arrrrrgh! Hidden from view beneath the waves, already fading from mem'ry. In rushes th' water when ye feel ye must finally burst! Plain sleep enfolds ye as settle into th arms o' Death. Sight is the last to go, but it feels like dreamin.
Check y'self, matey. The rules onboard ar strict an th penalties harsh. Top Dog is Under Toad. Shelfish he is in guardin th safety o th good ship "cellar". In case ye didn't know who's boat yer sailin on. The Captain. Medicine may soothe yer pains, and ye know where to look for it. Cabinet, y' addlepated bilge monkey, Liquor Cabinet!

[size=1]pssst. How long do I have to wear this hideous thing?[/size]
One week.
I wanted to report that I did, indeed, talk like a pirate at work yesterday.
After a lengthy explanation, they let me out.
I anwered the phone "Ahoy, Matey!" all day. Everyone thought I was nutz but I had a blast. Didn't get anyone to walk the plank, though...
Yes I'm the pirate, pilot
of this ship if I get with the ultraviolet dream
Hide from the red light beam
Now do you believe in the unseen?
lumberjim thinkest that Flint doth shrink from this challenge. Lo, does he not believe in his own might? has he not discovered the 18 threads about Sandra Day Oconnor? This can be done, I say, and with no great cost of strength. Say on, Flint. Be thy shy? Or dost thy ignore this deed thou hast been charged with for some hidden reason? Art thou nittering? Hast thou sand in thy vagina?
Sorry, lumberjim, a "talk like a pirate day" was all I could scrape together on such short notice. [SIZE="1"]So . . . do you like me yet?[/SIZE]

That depends...I thought smell like a pirate day was everyday. Talk to my co-workers. We'll see what day it is.
To celebrate, I'm going to have a lunch outing with my good friend Captain Morgan.
All I really want is the rum. That will be my pirate contribution.

Just be careful. Whenever I spend time with the Captain, I end up with his seamen.
arrrgggh! (piratical groan)

Were you able to accommodate all of them in the poopdeck?

Couldn't. I believe in going all the way down with the ship.
So, my boss is going to a "roast" tonight of a client. I thought it would be fun to give him some pirate talk. If you were going to "roast" some one all pirate-like, what would you say?
Here's a toast I found:
"Dear Lord Above, Send Down A Dove, With Wings as Sharp as Razors, To Slit The Throats of Them Thar Blokes What Sells Bad Rum to Sailors." Cheers

As far as I can tell, it's where you eat, drink and then all turn on someone and bitch them up to their faces. And they enjoy it. Like a sort of IRLCellar, I guess.

Unfortunately, my character was seasick. The ship's medic. He'd sought his fortune at sea to leave behind certain....professional irregularities.

The Inch has taught his little sister, the Millimeter, "the pirate face" i.e. Arrrgh Matey I will try to capture it on video for Pirate day and put it up on youtube. It is pretty funny seeing a 15 month old try to make a pirate face.

A Cellaaarrr Pirate Story
The night air was as still as a newb caught in an LJ quiz, not a molecule moved, and the sloop Cellaaaarrrr bobbed in the ocean like a greengrocer’s apostrophe. The Jolly Roger hung like a spammer's cock.
Thrasher ThreeeeFoote was on the poop deck, toying with the remains of his evil twin brother, Lord Bargepole. He knew he should be dicing him up for the chumbucket but it was hard when the apple of his eye, Millimetaaarrrr was so devoted to her uncle. Besides, they only needed the chumbucket when shark fishing, and he was pretty sure that the nearby creatures were dolphins. Oh wait, damn, they were sharks. No, dolphins. Oh, the huge manatees.
Who stole mah Bukket?” demanded Muffy Divaaarrr. “I need mah chumbukket”. “I has a bukket” said Millimetaaaarrr. Just as Thrasher was about to bung Bargepole’s bits in the bucket for the bait, tw posted and the sails filled, causing the ship to lurch forward at an alarming rate. “All hands on Dana” cried Captain Pat O’RLY. “Deck, I mean, Deck.”

We're having a party after work. My entire office thinks I'm crazy.
But since my boss is on vacation, I don't get to call him Captain all day (pout)
“All hands on Dick?” piped up Shiver-me-timbers Sheldon with a toothless grin. “STFU” said the ship’s cat.
The Cellaaaaarrr was still gaining speed, the crew tried everything –recipes, word association, rolled them up neatly (except for the fitted ones which they scrunched up into balls and threw in the chumbucket). Then Pussy Ninetails had the bright idea of posting in the Fucked-Up Ships forum. Almost immediately, Nerdy Norman the IT goto guy replied “have you tried taking down the sails, waiting five minutes then putting them backup again?” “RTFM” said the cat. And then “O hai, I fixd ur bote 4 u”. “SFTU” growled Zip EverReady, who had been hoping to watch Pussy Ninetails and the other foxy lady dwellaaarrrs wrestle in the rigging.
As the Cellaaaaarrrr calmed down, Barmy Bruce whipped up a few spammers for dinner, Captain Wolf orked a few cows, and the crew dined on deck, watching the sun set like a reverse goatse.
One Aye got out the telescope and scanned the horizon for land like a hungry grammar nazi. Then she moved it to her good eye and immediately spotted a large object closing fast on the Cellaaarrr. Was it a bird? Was it a plane? A shark? A dolphin? No, it was a

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!
OMG is that the new Rick Roll?
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:
No, this is :D
As obnoxious as Hasselhoff is, he cannot come close to the vomit of Rickroll. Rick is still the king of crap.
It's coming up! On a Saturday this year. Better start polishing up my parlay!
Maybe I'll have a[COLOR="Purple"] P A R T Y! [/COLOR]
You'll be made to walk the Plank!
and not get an invitation to the partay
... Better start polishing up my parlay!...
Is that a euphemism? ;)
only for those with dirty minds.
(looks around). That's all of us, right?
[youtube]mA8eQnCLtBY[/youtube]
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:

Here's a few movie quotes I translated:
I be goin' t' make th' lad an offer he canna refuse.

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)
I'll be mime Pirate
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.....

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 looting today, perhaps some violent theft, a murder or two and a few rapes later if I have the time.
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:
[SIZE="1"]It has been speculated that sailors who often went above and below deck might have used an eye patch to keep one eye adjusted to the darkness below decks.[2] The strong sunlight while above deck on an oceangoing vessel could require minutes of adaptation to the dim lighting below deck. With virtually no light sources below deck, sailors would have to rely heavily upon their eyes to adjust. In the critical moments of modifying the rigging, navigating, and especially during battle, those minutes were too precious. A simple switch of the patch from one eye to the other might have saved time when going between decks. However, this usage of the eyepatch is not supported by any historical records.[/SIZE]
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?
arrrr, they forgit them at the hideaway, just like you, matey.
So a pirate walks into a bar with a ship's wheel attached to his pants. Bar tender says, "Dude, what's with the wheel?" Pirates says, "Arggggh, its driving me nuts!"
Why did the pirate go to the Aaaaapple store?
[COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]To get an iPatch![/COLOR]
Thanks, you just gave me a great joke for my neighborhood bar. They groaned, I laughed!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, well. Never mind.

Musicians! I've never heard of musicians on a pirate ship. I wonder what they played?
Concertina, harmonica, fiddle?
Most military and naval regiments/crews had musicians at that time. Drummers, buglers and fifers mainly.
Some of those rules are remarkably similar to naval rules. Though with a much more egalitarian flavour.

Thinking about pirates...
I still find it hilarious that in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies Johnny Depp isn't trying to talk like a pirate as much as he's trying to impersonate Keith Richards.

Me too, really annoyed me for the first half an hour the first time I watched it that he seemed to be
trying to do a half assed impression of Keith Richards, there was a comedy show at the time where Keith and Mick ran a corner shop, so it wan't even original., When you find out he was deliberately doing a half assed impression of Keith Richards it makes sense.
I thought he sounded like Ozzy
Some poor fool at work added signage to my workload....
there were 8 in all (I think)
Was it a hit? I'd buy Saaaaarrsage
someone stole that sign.....
Can't think of higher praise
You're a doctor. I know your job is low on your list of priorities at this stage in the game, but when your nest is empty, I'd like to suggest you look to marketing as a career. Your experience fund raising, and superior command of language, the whip sharp wit, and purple hair....high motor, go getter... Chaos on a broomstick, messy bossy pillar of strength..... Creative and crafty.
Or... Manage musical acts. You have horrid taste in music though, so you'd have to work for an agent.
Might as well have fun at your current job. Tell then I said you should be in charge of the signs for all holidays, real and imaginary.
I hate marketing. with a passion. but thanks. I used to share my office with the graphic artist and the marketer. Now it's mine, all mine. and apparently so are the jobs. but not all the money. Marketing folks have to deal with people and not call them stupid cunts. This is not my area of strength. ut my job is paying for college for the first-baaaaaarrrrn. Another one goes next year :eek:
Can't believe no-one resurrected this thread yet today.
I do have a sign minion now, but Tuesday is her day off....
