"I was expecting fishermen or pirates..."

[SpidermanHouston]

Not even Jessica Alba will make me join a group that robs at sea. But congratulations on #1000, it looks like you are a lost cause now. I wonder if i get a new nickname for 3500 posts.

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine.

[merry slug]

merry slug (Captain Slug / Mad Mary Bonney) - No need to worry! Our ship can't have too many captains!

[MJBinNC]

Ohhhhhh, no...... the visual was not needed! Drunk, fine.... but pantsless? Not needed!:lol

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Yeah, it's a good thing I started off wearing two pairs of pants. Otherwise, that'd be wrong and possibly creepy. What with being completely pantsless. I mean, it's a PG13 board here.

That said:

Clothes be optional here - in fact, thar tends to be an inverse ratio regarding drunkeness and nakedness: the drunker ye be, the less clothes ye tend t'be wearin here on this boat.

ARRRR!!!

[scottq74]

ARRGH! Bloody Tom Kidd was gettin' a wee bit tired of being a pirate without doing pirate-y stuff. So last night I snuck off the boat and went down into the hatch! I was lookin' for buried treasure or perhaps a jug 'o rum, but alas I didn't find none of either... I didn't come back from the hatch empty handed, though. I decided to take this ping pong paddle! Now Bloody Tom Kidd challenges all of me fellow pirates to go a' pillagin' and a' lootin'... then post yer plunder!

On a side note... I had the day off work today and managed to catch The Price is Right this morning. There was a group of Pirates in the audience all wearing We Love Bob Bark-arrr t-shirts and waving hooks around.

[claireothers]

Aarrrrrrrrrr! Good mornin' ye fellow pirates! It's 9:00 a.m. in north Florida and I be countin' down the hours (12 hours!) till

SpidermanHousten...I give you the words of me dear beloved Black Sam Bellamy, god bless his freedom loving soul:

You are a devilish conscience rascal, I am a free prince, and I have as much authority to make war on the whole world, as he who has a hundred sail of ships at sea, and an army of 100,000 men in the field; and this my conscience tells me: but there is no arguing with such snivelling puppies, who allow superiors to kick them about deck at pleasure.

Pass the grog, mates.

The Pirate Song

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

(Captain) Avast there mates, ye're sailin' with Long John Black Beard, Peg-Leg, Patch-Eye Hook, scourge of the bounding main. Bloodthirstiest, black-heartiest pirate captain ever sailed the seven seas, ha, ha, ha! What say ye we hoist the Jolly Roger, heel over the yonder Spanish galleon. Lay a few broadsides agin' her timers, swing over on these here lanyards with our cutlasses in our teeth cut 'em to ribbons and split the booty. What say ye to that, me hearties? Heh! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

(Twit) I don't like it....

(Captain) You don't like it?

(Twit) I don't like it and I don't wanna do it. It's tacky,...tacky, tacky...and don't look at me that way

(Captain) Well, if you don't like it, what do you want?

Chorus

I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance

(Captain) You want to sing and dance, heh! You don't like plundering, aye? Well, shiver me timbers 'ow 'bout treasuring, huh? Rubies, emeralds and pearls, gold doubloons and British sovereigns. Silver chalices encrusted with diamonds and jewels, necklaces and bracelets of every shape and size, fit for the crown heads of Europe, aye? And all buried in a pirate's chest and I just happen to know where. How about that me bloodthirsty buckos, heh? Ha, ha, ha!

(Twit) I don't like it.....

(Captain) You don't like it?

(Twit) I don't like it and I don't want it....

(Captain) He don't want it

(Twit) And I won't do it...I'm an artiste

(Captain) An artiste, well mister artiste, what do you want?

Chorus

I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance

(Captain) Now, listen hear! This ain't no floating Gilbert and Sullivan show, you know for some little flittin' tinkerbell. This here be a black-hearted pirate ship and I would have you keel-hauled if you weren't me own flesh and blood you little twit! So you don't like plunderin' aye?.....

(Twit) I don't like it.....

(Captain) And you don't want no treasurin' ah?.....

(Twit) I don't want it.....

(Captain) And you probably don't want no groggin' and revelin' and wrenchin' and rummin' either I suppose?

(Twit) Well, deep down....you want to know the truth? It's not me, I don't want it.....

(Captain) Well, what do you want...as if I didn't already bleein know?

(Twit) I want to sing and dance and.....

(Captain) I know, I know...and wear your tight little shiny pants. Huh! Okay...we'll all sing and dance (pirates grumble)... I said we'll all sing and dance (pirates grumble)... Or you'll walk the plank,...one - two - free

(Chorus in pirates' voices)

I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance

(Over chorus, you hear the Captain and twit's voice say)

(Twit) I like it....I like it

(Captain) I kinda like it me own self

(Twit) Thought you would

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

(Twit) I don't like rum...

(Captain) You don't like rum?

(Twit) Well no, actually...well, I might like a little Perrier

(Captain) A little Perrier?

(Twit) With a lime in it...

(Captain) A lime in it?..... He wants a lime in it.....

(Twit) Well, do you have any Escargot?

(Captain) Escar..what?

(Twit) What's the soup today?...

(Captain) Soup!?

(Twit) Might have a bit of a salad too!...

(Captain) Well, how about a bleeding fingerbowl?

(Twit) Maybe a croissant!...Is that right? Those French make everything so hard! Why didn't they just call it a bun?

(fade out)

[Ophiliandra]

Personally, I would prefer something like:

One eyed Blaarghney MacHookarm

I think yer own name thar be better 'n any randomly generated pre-fab moniker, mate.

[Celtic Ceilidh]

Well, Matey, I be takin' a fancy to Gorton Greybeard, meself. We wenches don't much care 'long as ye be a handsome cuss. (Which means ye have some of yer teeth and most of yer fingers.)

[PinkysBrainX]

Shoulds I be One eyed Blaaarghney MacHookArm, or shoulds I be Cap'n Gorton Greybeard?

I like the old One Eye meself. The patch will set the hat off nicely.

[Druzliah]

This wench votes for Cap'n Gorton Greybeard

[PinkysBrainX]

How about One eyed Blaaarghney Greybeard or Gorton the hook armed Fisherman (lol)?

[Druzliah]

If ye be wantin' break out the pipes, i've pillaged the hogshed and found these long side. Head fore and drink up me mates.

[drabauer]

I did hie meself o'er to that second sit fer a shiny title. Avast me mateys, she did return the following:

"Disembowlin' Eve Dagger" she did call me.
Pieces of eight i pay to know the meaning.

Be ye addled? Belay that talk or Cap'n will be takin the cat to ya! Yer the dagger that strikes in the night and any pirate ship twill be sparked to have you ajoinin. Lets splice the mainbrace! We've plenty of grog (rum for thems that not be knowing). Raise cups and cheer for The Dagger!

[Druzliah]

Arrrrr! Pieces of eight be ye, this wench would be gonner to Davy Jones locker had not been fer ye quater in answering me.

[Dharmit]

Methinks a Doh/Dru shipper be loomin

[drabauer]

I be confessin' that the grizzled Gorton bears a kindly likeness for Jo
nay Prudentilla Bonny, nay the Wild She devil of the North.

I be eye'n the cut of 'is jib fer a time and the felicitous way of 'im with the Queen's English, and I would fain make my bed 'side such a temptin' scalliwag 'ere we set sail agin.

[DohBoy]

Methinks a Doh/Dru shipper be loomin'...
Arrr! Cap'n Doh's only ship be the S.S. Polar Bear ... an' if ye be meanin' to mate a matey with Cap'n Doh, well then ye should know that me one 'n only life, love an' lady be the sea.

An' me frothy mug o' warm grog.

An' me buried treasure.

An' the TV show Lost.

Arrrr ... then again, Cap'n Doh be supposin' thar might be room for one more love. ;)

[drabauer]

I do declare I have been rightly claimed, and lain my own treasures at the feet of that scoundrel greybeard. Grizzled may he be, but a young scamp 'neath the covers.

('Scuse me while I rally the bastard for another round of pirate's delight.)

[The Swan]

Would anyof you Pirates consider "jumping ship" and becoming World Soldiers???

It can be on a part time basis if you like.

My pirate profile:
Mad Bess Flint
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

[Dharmit]

ARRRR! and welcome Bekka/Mad Bess Flint! I be Red Jenny Flint, yer only slightly addled cousin what be lost at sea many weeks back. Twas for sure I'd be sinking to the briny deep if not for these seadogs. We be a seein which wench wots got the best rum a brewin.

So lets all splice the mainbrace and drink a cheer to Mad Bess!

[merry slug]

Wart and Dr. A need to take it below-decks. And I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm jealous >:

[drabauer]

Don't any of yea swarthy seahags look the wrong way at my mister, or I be fixin' to have ye hauled overboard and fed to the fishes with last mornin's fixin's. I warn ye, ol' greybeard fancies my wares, and no others.

Let this be my last warnin' agin ye, for there be a fair lot o' seadogs for ye to scavenge with above deck, such as that first mate, who cuts a fine quarter. Not so fine as my Cap'n, but then greybeard a give ole Poseidon himself a run for 'is booty.

[Bekka]

Swarthy I be, but I turned nary an eye his way, matey! You can keep yer old graybeard all to yer self! There arrrr too many fish in the sea to be hankerin down with one swimmer! ARRRRR!

[drabauer]

I be amassin' a tight crew for my ship the Anne Bonny, an' be lookin' for good seafarin' folk not afeared of a rough but ready sail.

Here be those posts, to be paid in mess and plunder:

Cap'n: I have he in mind aforhand, God willin' we find a good 'n true master.

First Mate: must be fearsome in battle, but a trusting soul. First cut 'o the bounty 'pon close of a raid.

Quartermaster : must be good at countin' and a man or wench of thy word. Can naught be afeared of drawing the wrath o'the common buccaneer.

Bos'n: must swear a blood oath to our ship, an' rig 'er fair an' proper in all weather, bar none.

Gunner: he be a military man or woman, wid a head fer the art and craft o' battle.

Powder Monkey: alas, if ye don't cut the figger of an officer, ye may end up some cannon's nursemaid.

Carpenter: hard work, to be sure, but he that be steady with a saw be havin' more space to hisself and like as not be below deck when the battle grows thick.

Surgeon: this be our doctor, but any soul sharp with a blade and knowin' how to brew a strong ale is as like as any fit for our ragged bunch.

Cook : ye be needin' a hearty receipt for Salmagundi, and a good stomach for those game n' shares plundered weeks afor 'n left to ripen in the bilge.

Cooper: be not despisin' the cooper's lot, for none be more valued on the high sea than he that keeps the grog afresh 'n sweet.

Musicians: Iron Prudentilla, nay Wild Jo Bonny prizes these folk above all other. For the nights asea be long n' lonely should there be no pipin' nor pluckin to call the shanties from our men's throats. If we fail to sign 'em proper, we must perforce press those of fine voice into service, consent or no.

Yo ho ho, time for a jig!

http://www.piratehaven.org/~beej/pirates/images/anneb.gif

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

If ye be needing a cook, than look no further than Hurley the Two Pants. He can cook a parrot so that it's almost edible.

[drabauer]

Ye be hired at full wages, Hurley the two pants, though I be sure as sugar we can find ye some bird w'more meat on 'e than your fine feathered friend.

If'n an army travels on its stomach, well sure this crew will sail on full bellies in fighting form.

Step on up, ye landbubbin' picaroons, for there be still jobs fer the lot 'o ya. Myself I be fixin' to sit at Cockswain, so I be thinking we need a right an' proper Cap'n as well. I had espied him as would fit the bill a moon ago, and will send out notice. (To up the ante we be puttin' in additional job duties, dontcha know).

The Cooper i be, aye and me daggers be keepin it safe see.

Cooper: be not despisin' the cooper's lot, for none be more valued on the high sea than he that keeps the grog afresh 'n sweet.

Water and rum mixed together was often called Grog. A dram (a small amount) of rum was often added to a sailor's water ration. A proper grog often included lime juice to help to stave off scurvy and a measure of cane sugar to help kill the bitterness of the water.

Aye simplest (Aye in times of rashin)

Add approximately one ounce of fine rum (the rum used in the Royal Navy was an exceptional quality alcohol) to tin or glass of water (7 to 9 oz.)

Aye me own speical brew

1 (oz) of Rum
the juice of half a lime
one or two teaspoons of cane sugar
and fill the rest of your tin or mug with water.

Nay can a seahog, or scallway decieve me out of the Cap'ns orders er a bribe go past me daggers.

[Magical Trevor]

<curty> Aye be some how missin it ya beat me to the post. Aye it be yurs ifen we both don't get hired on.

Aaarrr! I be respecting that. You can 'ave a free flagon of me finest ale.

[drabauer]

I be honored ta hire ya, Good Lost in His Eyes, fer to our rough 'n ready surgeon to be, but find you must a proper pirate name, for there be no flow'ry titles on this ship.

My 'pologies, I see onta manifest you be one Mad Dog Flint. And sure you'll be carrying your flints close to the bosom when this here crew finds a scuffle.

And Devil be praised we have a Cooper, drinks all 'round, top off the mugs Dave me hearty. Ye have a fine moniker already if ye be makin' use of it, for I find no zombies on Cap'n Dohboy's manifest. But seems thou hast a fine rival in Iron Mary, for she brings the fixin's to ward off both scurvy and a man's thirst. What say you Hurley Two Pants and Mad Dog Flint? Hae any articles be yet wrote that forbid a fine galleon like the bonny two coopers? I say we hire the both; if one takes ill in the next gale, none shall go w'out his measure o' rum.

I am most pleased of this turn of affairs, but ye must help us round up t'rest, for we be landlubbin' tankers hie on two days already!

And Zombie, ya make a right good point there mate, and I hear tell many a crew has sailed w'but one Jack o'the saws. But I think we need a swab to keep the Bonny seaworthy and t'other to brew us some evil salve fer the gout 'n such.

Ahoy Mates! Arrrrrrrr!

Ave ye Insurance Policy?

Insurance Policies were often discussed in the Articles of Piracy. Typical of such insurance policies is Article Eight above. While this may all sound quite democratic, I somehow suspect that it was not as fair or compensatory as it sounds. You must remember that often Pirates would maroon captains because no loot was being found. I can't picture a crew of cut throats giving the lions share of a take to a wounded man.
Still, it was better than what was offered in most of the Navies of the day, which gave little or no compensation in the event of death or injury. Such pension plans would not exists for several decades in the Royal Navy which is often regarded as one of the more liberal Navies when it came to caring for the crew.


Articles of Piracy
Pirates, lived by codes. Articles were drawn up and the whole crew signed them in agreement, Captains were elected, and rules followed. Typically the Articles were a hold over from Privateering.

The articles were drawn up by the crew, and everyone would then sign the contract that bound the ship together. The following is an example of the Articles of Piracy.

These articles are typical of the laws that pirate crews would agree to. In the movie The Black Swan, there is an episode where Tyrone Powers discusses articles. As in real life, the articles in the movie stressed primarily the division of Booty.

Article One
Every man shall obey civil command; the captain shall have on full share and a half in all prizes. the Master, Carpenter, Boatswain, and Gunner shall have one share and quarter.

Article Two
If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any secret from the Company, he shall be marroon'd with one bottle of powder, one bottle of Water, one small Arm, and shot.

Article Three
If any Man shall steal any Thing in the Company, or game, to the value of a piece of Eight, he shall be Marroon'd or shot.

Article Four
If at any Time we should meet at another Marrooner (that is, Pyrate) that man shall sign his Articles without Consent of our Company, shall suffer such Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit.

Article Five
That a man that shall strike another, whilst these Articles are in force, shall receive Moses's Law (that is 40 Stripes lacking one) on the bare Back.

Article Six
That Man that shall snap his Arms, or smoak Tobacco in the Hold, without cap to his Pipe, or carry a candle lighted without lanthorn, shall suffer the same Punishment as in the former Article.

Article Seven
That Man that shall not keep his Arms clean, fit for an Engagement, or neglect his Business, shall be cut off from his Share, and suffer such other Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit.

Article eight
If any man shall lose a joint in time of Engagement, shall have 400 Pieces of Eight: if a limb, 800.

Article Nine
If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer Death.

[sawyerhasbestlines]

Article Five
That a man that shall strike another, whilst these Articles are in force, shall receive Moses's Law (that is 40 Stripes lacking one) on the bare Back.


I'll be takin me lashins up front. Better to get it over with while the ale's still flowin.

[drabauer]

'pon Davey's locket that scurvy bastard of a Cap'n did show, as did I promise ye! A good man and finer pilot ye ne'er seen they say, e'en if he do be nursin' the ale like a bitch do her pups.

Soon the Anne Bonny take wind for the cape n' adventure. And these articles be a fine lot, although can't say as I care much fer laws as writ. T'sea she has her own law, n' that need neither pen nor parchment.

[methos89]

You know - I wouldn't mind being a pirate if it wasn't for the requisite nasty teeth. I just can't handle not brushing. Well, okay, the smell of not bathing is a little revolting to me too. But, other than that, well - that and the possible hanging, I'd love to swashbuckle.

Poor misunderstood pirates

Cap'n Dohboy

If it’s swearin’ ye want, it’s swearing ye’ll be getting from me, ye swab! I went t' sea t’ learn t’ swear and spent th' rest o’ me life perfectin’ th' art! I be raisin' me hand now,

I be called Issek, hereabouts, but me mates on ships from here t' th' back of beyond call me Sly Silas Bent, or One-Eyed Sy. I sailed th' main when men were made o’ steel and ships were made o’ wood. I be a shellback who been ‘round th' world more times than I can count, ‘thout unlacin' me breeches, and I’ll brook none o’ yer sea lawyer shenanigans. I can sing ye airy verse o’ Barnacle Bill th' Sailor ‘cause th' ditty were writ ‘bout me. I own a plank o’ th' scurviest ship e’er to sail for good uncle Sammy, I be a member o’ th' ‘Order o’ th' Ditch,’ and th' ‘Order o’ th' Rock,’ and I survived th' dread ‘Safari t' Suez.” I swilled grog in every port from Palma t' Penang, from Surabaya t' Singapore, from Subic t' Sydney, and I say t' ye scurvy dogs that it be time now t' splice th' main brace, or I’ll know th' reason why. I be Sly Silas Bent and I’ll slit your gizzard f'r lookin’ at me crooked. ARRRR!

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Nobody be calling Hurley the Two Pants a mutineer. The cook goes where he is needed, but rest assured, Hurley the Two Pants holds Cap'n Dohboy near and dear to his black heart.



Now, who be wanting another slice of seal loaf?

[sawyerhasbestlines]

You know - I wouldn't mind being a pirate if it wasn't for the requisite nasty teeth.

Funny you should mention teeth.

I just went to the dentist today....
And they took out my front tooth (a root canal gone bad). This totally sucks, but they gave me a very fake plastic temporary tooth I have to wear for ..... 3 months!!!!! till my bone heals and I get a new crown. It's not even the right color. The only thing it's good for is painting it black for a halloween party.

So I'm a bonafide toothless pirate hag. (pitiful arrgh.) for the next 3 months. What's a wench to do?

[DohBoy]

Avast and ahoy!!!

Be Cap'n DohBoy hearin' the grumblin's o' mutiny? Be ye olde wench drabauer stealin' me crew to set sail o'er the high seas with nary the mind o' yer ol' Cap'n?

Be this the ledge o' that flat mound o' dirt 'n' seawater we call "earth" fer yer ol' Cap'n? Be ye'all sendin' yer poor Cap'n down the River Styx to meet his Maker - that be Ol' Nick 'imself!?

Nay! Nay, me hearties - ye all be welcome to set sail fer the right Captain WaRRRRthawg1 if ye don' mind sailin' with an upstandin' sailor - even if he be a cannibal of men!

Be it a fact, yer ol' Cap'n DohBoy'll even take one o' his finest bottles o' champagne (pillaged from the quarters of an Admiral - er, ex-Admiral - o' the Royal British Navy himself, God rest his bloody murderous soul) in order t' christen the good ship Anne Bonney!

But beware.

Cap'n DohBoy may be acallin' on me crew to set sail far beyond the reaches o' most ships. When Cap'n DohBoy hoists the Jolly Stewie above his fine brigantine, the S.S. PolARRRRR Bear, an' sets his masts fer the sea, he'll be 'spectin' a full crew to man the sails and cannons.

Fer now, yer Cap'n'll be ensurin' his flagship be fully decked out, supplied, an' ship-shape - between pints o' grog an' quarts o' rum, that is!

Ye can set sail on that beauty the Anne Bonney, namesake of the Dread Pirate Bonney, to get yer sea legs! Off with ye, if ye choose, lest ye be the worst kind o' lubbers there be!

H'ARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

I be scoutin' a few more Scalliwags on the Atlantic 'board these last days. One "scooter" ta black-hearted, late o' t'Vice-President's service (or so t'blaggard swears).

I hear Cap'n Dohboy hails from t'same tainted guild. What say you thieves 'n brigands? Want we more lawyers aboard, or shall 'e show 'im the tips o'the silver cutless n' ta crack o'me nine tails?

[Issek]

Want we more lawyers aboardI be not one to go in f'r book-learnin', but didn't Will o' Stratford give us th' best remedy f'r lawyers? Yet, now'n I think on 't, be not most lawyers pirates already? I be thinkin' that if Cap'n Dohboy be not a sea lawyer, which be a separate an' loathsome specimen o' th' breed, an if he swears to be a true pirate an' not a pettifoggin' attorney, then I f'r one be willin' t' o'erlook his character fault this once. After all, he did bring t'gether th' saltiest band o' cutthroats this jack e'er did lay eye 'pon.

That be me own thinkin', what say the rest o' ye rascals?

Edited t' add:

But now as I rereads y'r message it seem ye be talkin 'bout the blackheart "scooter," an' not our own dear cap'n. Keelhaulin' be to good f'r the likes o' him, says I, give 'im a taste o' th' cat an set 'im adrift in a dinghy with a jug o' water. I want no shipmates named after kiddie-toys!

We be a sailin' soon
Huzzah for Cap'n Greybeard Gorton!

[Issek]

If I’m t’ be y’r Quartermaster I’ve a bit o’ shoppin’ t' do tonight. A good chronometer’s what I needs an’ I reckon the lovely little market the folks hereabouts calls “Th’ Smithsonian” be havin’ a fine lovely collection o’ ‘em - p’r’aps e’en one o’ Mr. Harrison’s – an won’t be missin’ one – or two – f’r the duration o’ th’ cruise. When I be done there I be a-catchin’ the red-eye clipper o’er to th’ Pacific shores. I’ll be there long a’fore it be time t’ weigh anchor f’r fortune and blood-curdlin' adventure.

ARRRR!

I’ve a bit o’ shoppin’ t' do tonight.

Aye, I'm a oilin' the cannons and thinkin 'bout me targets.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

I'm oiling me griddles and thinking about who'd taste best out of the crew if meat gets scarce.

[drabauer]

I be thinkin' the Cap'n means a dirge, 'nowt durge (but we n'er hire 'im fer ther spellin,' do we mateys?)

I be confessin' to be unsure what a cockswain should be oilin' nor shippin'; far's I'm aware, I be the swain what looks out fer 'er C ock ;)

Hurley you old scalliwag! I was in yer neighborhood this week gone 'n sure enough there was some find grub ta be had!

An this Bessie's glad to see that Sy's thrown 'is trunk onta our fair boat. Shirley you best be practicin' yer aim; I hear there be a blackhearted lot where Gorton sails, 'n the sun be settin' afor the wind dies down.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Ye been near the land o' Mary, Drab?

Aww great! Now I have to seek out me hammer and repairn' tools! I know I left 'em 'round here somewhere......*shuffle*......I wonder'd where that rubber chik'n got off too.........*shuffle*.......I'll be havin' to get my bag 'o stuff ready.......'scuse me while I dig! ;)

[merry slug]

Alrigh' I guess I'd be wanting on board -- if yer needin any actual sailors to do the real work, I'll haul in the sheets and everything.

I'll even wear a red shirt :p

[merry slug]

aye-aye, Cap'n! I'll be mindin' the sheets and the halyards for ye

NOTE: After Jeanne, Frances and Wilma, I'm ready for any gale that comes along:rolleyes

[Celtic Ceilidh]

Mate, ye can go 'head and rid yerself of the logs, as we won't be a needin' 'em and even if ye return..no one would b'lieve what be written there 'bouts anyway.
Aye, Cap'n. 'Tis already done.

[Lost In His Eyes]

ARRRRGGGG!

Just checkin' in, seeing as I hasn't been here in a coupl'a days!

[drabauer]

I'm a fixin't the riggin's fer strong winds. I say, we have a fearsome and ready crew if e'er I did see 'un. Ye kin find me at the rudder good 'n true come what may.

[sawyerhasbestlines]

What's for dinner?

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Tonight we dine on the souls of the damned. Yarr, or mac and cheese, if ye be vegetarian.

[uhavemel]

:rollin

Souls of the damned be soundin' a bit bitter. Jes gimme some grog, if'n ye please.

[Issek]

I'm here an' ready, but I needs be checkin' me gear afore comin' aboard. Lessee now: 2 chronometers 'on loan', sextant, charts tables, hammock, extra breeches, tunics, an' drawers, dagger, me lovely cutlass Thirst, soap. That be everythin', tho' th' kit do seem a mite heavy, I'll just jettison the soap an' drawers...there, it feels 'bout right now.

I be comin' aboard now cap'n, by y'r leave!

By th' by, sir, cap'n Falkenburg o' Der Fliegende Holländer, what whisked me 'ere so smartly, let me in on a bit o' scuttlebutt ye might be int'r'sted in: It do seem as how the Norsemen have found an all-weather Northwest Passage an' be intendin' to send four ships, Hugin, Munin, Tanngniost, an' Tanngrisnir thru' it in search of the Lost Norwegian's Lutefisk Mine. They're likely nought t' concern us, as I be cert'n they be stayin' up north where the weather suits 'em.

I be a-stowin' me gear below now, then back here t' take me place o' th' Quarterdeck.

ARRRR!
