[Steppe Merc]

The oddest thing is that my little brother had to borrow my bandanna to dress up for talk like a pirate day in school.

Oh, Arr, war's yur women and booze? Argg!

Here's my Pirate name:

Dirty Davy Bonney
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. 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!

I don't get it though. I answered I bathed daily, because I do... Why am I dirty? I'm not dirty, and the coolest pirates weren't dirty, they were sophisticated... Mabye it was the whole Muppets thing.

[tibilicus]

I wondered why Martinus was talking like a pirate in this thread. Maybe he's crazy?!

No Taurus that will just be Martinius for you. Or Bloody Harry Roberts ~;)

[The_Doctor]

Just becuase I was Grandmaster of the Anti-Jamster Crusade, tried to recuit people for a cybernation, I thought Discovery1 wanted to jump into drops of water and spoke like a pirate does not mean I am crazy.

Then again it probably does. ~:joker:

[GoreBag]

I found out last night that Sid Meier's Pirates is programmed to have talk excessively like a Pirate on TLaP day. Even the barmaids say "yarr".

[Taurus]

Yo! Ho! Ho! & a bottle of rum!

Yaaarrrrrrrrr! ~:cheers:

[Marcellus]

And now I hear about it. After it happens. Oh well.

[TheSilverKnight]

Arr! I be Iron Harry Cash. I be the true sacker o' Portobello, o' San Juan and San Agustino! Ye land-lubbers ha'e ne'er seen a pirate the likes o' me! I sacked Havana with a boat and my cat, sent the Spanish runnin' with their tails 'tween their legs I did! I sacked Cartagena with a few stolen Royal Navy frigates! YARRRRR!!! *grabs sword, puts on tricorne, and fancy uniform* Ha'e any o' ye fellers been to Manila? I ha'e as well...sacked it good I did! With me crew, I plundered the galleons and took dubloons by the barrel! What about Cadiz? Y'ave ne'er plundered Cadiz? Ahhh...I was so close once, but the arrival of a few Spanish boats under a laddie named Don Juan Meija stopped me before I could get off a shot! TIS NOT WHAT I WANTED!! YARRRRRRRR!!!!!

But have ye experienced the misfortune of mutiny? HA'E YE?! Ye haven't experienced wha's like to have the men...who you've served with for a long time...and they betray ye and take yer posessions, and leave you! LIKE THEY LEFT ME!! They left me in Puerto Rico, in a cave tied up...and I escaped...by biting my way through the rope around my neck...and by scrapin' me arms on the wall to untie the rope on me wrists! AND THAT BE HOW I'M HERE!!

*end tale of piracy* ~D

~:cheers:

[Kommodus]

Avast! Me mateys may call me by the name:

Black Tom Read

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

[King Henry V]

Yarrrr!! Ye be challengin' me ye Bristoler rat! *grabs sword*
Arr! Be it a cutlass duel or a drinking one, ye scurvy dog!? Did if ever tell you the time I was in Havana, and I killed fifty of the King of Spain's men with one arm broken and with only a sharpened spoon? Or when I sunk the French fleet off Tortuga with only a sinking sloop, half me men dying of scurvy, the other half infected with the clap after being to a dodgy whore-house in Barbados. And all our powder was wet! There is no man on the Seven Seas, alive or dead, who can outdrink me, outroger me or outfight me!Arrrrrrrrr!

[Crazed Rabbit]

Avast, me hearteys! Tis again that time o' the year, when we set sail in our sloops and hoist the black flag and cut down anyone who dares reproach us!

Crazed Rabbit

[Samurai Waki]

[Somebody Else]

Avast thar! Before I spread yer guts over Dread Pirate Beirut's deck and make yer swab it. I be Bloody Roger Vane.

Yarr, I know not who said this o' me, but there be a reckonin' in store, mark my words!

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. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Yaaaarrr! I'm goin tah be sore in the marnin' with all this arrrrin' and yarrrrrin'.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=eJZW11J1-aQ

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

RAIDING PARTY!!! :charge: :charge: :charge:

[seireikhaan]

Good evening, gentlemen. I trust you've been having a fine day? I was taking a light stroll through the site, and discovered this most peculiar thread. Naturally intrigued, I discovered to my disappointment that there was naught but filthy, disease ridden men, brandishing large cutlasses at me, for reasons beyond my comprehension. Well, good day to you all, I'm off to enjoy tea with the Williamson's at their private estate.

~;p

[Crazed Rabbit]

Have at ye, ye pox ridden scalawag! Avast, me hearties, let us split him from skull to guts!
