Avast Ye swabs, ye lads, lasses cutthroats and proud beauties (decide for ye selves what catagory ye be fitting)

Arrr favorite holiday International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD for short) be fast approaching (September 19th for the poor heathens amongst the brethren who have no idea what the hell I'm talking about) and we all should be taking care of our eye-patches and shining up our pirate lingo.

Ifn ye be unsure of what this wonderful holiday be or what the notion of pirate lingo or piratittude is ye needs to be sailing over to www.talklikeapirate.com (shameless plug: buy the book Pirattitude it's well worth your dubloons)

oh and reminder for our shipmates who got a wee out of hand last year, It's Talk like a pirate day, not "Rape and Commit Felonies like a pirate day" looting and a little murder can all be in good fun especially if the victim will actually be able to respawn but rape is bad no rape without consent from a partner of legal age and mental maturity

I'm back, and I have news! The festival was great. Great!

I be very sorry I were not able to make it on the day, cap'n.

Arr, I made it just in time. Shiver me timber, that looks like quite a gale outside, yarr.

Happy september 19th, may the grog run freely, the entertainment sing sweetly and may ye all find the lad or lass ye've been looking fer

Aye, cap'n!

Arrr.... it be only a few more days before we raise sail in full view of the lubbers surrondin every man jack'o us (even the women!) make sure you pillage yer respective towns in a way that will never be forgotten

I be sorry cap'n. I had been at the rum that mornin.

aye shade that link gives me a strange urge to move to Oregon

Aye, I be regrettin I have not eighty dollars to crew the tallship.

I fully regret following that link. Now I'm depressed I won't be there for that event.

We be singing shanties with mates this month.

Ye were already on me crew lassy

me thinks ye've be drinkin a wee much...


now where's that horn-swoggling-goodfernothing first mate o'mine... Megs!

Be this crew acceptin new recruits? If that be the case, I'm applyin fer the job.

Arr, me beauty, yet when ye get half seas over ye gets a trifle tired of sea pie an' more sea pie. Mayhap a pint of grog wouldn't be hurtin ye?

Shade, you don't even drink.

well me proud beauty it had comitted piracy apparently and according to these letters o' marque we *gestures at crew* ain't such fiendish devils despite the fact that the cap'ns had the same names an o'er such similarties. So when yon magsitrate imprisoned us with orders to dance the hempen jig it was really a big misunderstanding as they was the ones meant to be hung

*tosses shade a bottle of rum* how's that be doin ye for grog? now let's find that horizon and some treasure laden prey

Umm...what was wrong with the old thread?

We be setting in for a long haul, mates. Raise the colours! Roll out the grog! Aye, the grog, we be needin all of that.
