Arrrrh! oops, meant this for the cantina, if'n one of them salty sea-dogs of a moderator could maroon this parchment on the right sandbank, we'll save an extry tot o' rum fer yers ternite! (it'll help wash down them drumstick leftovers)
 
Arrrgh!

Scurvy dogs...moved t' thread t' t' Cantina.

Next timeit's t' plank for ye...
 
Ahrrr, that be sounding likes a fine idea .
We,s could makes it a national day exceptin that every pirate vessel is a nation unto itsownself .(Pirate lawyer language) .

Thats bein the case ifn we made it a national day there woulds be too many Captains wantin to head up this national event . There would be quibbles over how many RRRRRRRRs should be permitted when saying Ahrrrrrrrr . Personally I thinks sevens the limit .

I thinks it could be settled with a Captains meeting and a wee bit o slicin with a rusty Kukuuri .
 
Arrrrrrrh! an' would ye be wantin' some vittles ter be served at that meetin, cap'n? we've gots a bit of sliced drumstick leftovers left over.......
 
Ifn you ask the munk he might share some special pickles for the meeting too.

Zombie pirate captains...
 
I love the one where he tries to steal a laptop is hilarious, too.

"We can have guns?"

"Managment can have guns."

Keno
 
Ahrrr . That be Patch the famous three legged pirate . He is not much of a hand with a Kukuuri . He can still sink his teeth into a problem .

He has one drawback , which is whenever he lifts his hind leg to pee he falls over . Its lots of fun at parties though the rum barrel has started to have a peculiar odor .
 
Arrrrh Arrrh Arrh!,

eye wus wonderin bout thet odor meself, i thought it was the remains of that landlubber ye nailed to the bulkhead throo his eysocket right by the barrel. he's gettin a might ripe & the bits we haven't gnawed off fer snacks are turnin a funny colour. anyways it did stop him from tryin' ter sell stuff over at the cantina, even if i did lose the bet on how longs he'd take ta stop squirmin. never thot he'd last two hours and some.

anyway, ol' patch can pee anywheres he wants to, after savin me from thet saracen over in tripoli who wuz about to cleave my gizzard when patch done went and bit him in the family jools, thet fellers look of amazement was right amusing and i cain't believe he could scream thet loud on such a high note...

come ter think of it we all pees where we wants to anyways.....

patch ain't got a problem wif his laigs, he still has a spare one, he says. he reminds me of his matey dominic whose only got two. an insPIRATion to us all.

Linky - Dominic the grey

he's gots a new girlfriend too (one in evry port of course)

Linky - Faith
 
You know I am looking at the first one and saying the bio-mechanics just don,t look right . Old Kronck is pulling a fast one on his Captain . (shame on you )
Then I see the dogs legs partially collapse in a turn and I say wow .

Good old Faith is another story from the get go . It is just incredible how adaptable our furry friends are .
 
Arrrrrrrh! Avast and belay all that sharpenin & etchin' & steel poundin'

The 19th be's not only Talk like a pirate day, but it be also

Take Yer Dawg Ter the Shipyard day as well. ('take your dog to work day' for you landlubbers)

Linky

SPEAKIN Pirate-like:
Startin' Rules
Double up on all your adjectives and you'll be bountifully bombastic with your phrasing. Pirates never speak of "a big ship", they call it a "great, grand ship!" They never say never, they say "No nay ne'er!"
Drop all your "g"'s when you speak and you'll get words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'". Dropping all of your "v"'s will get you words like "ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er".
Instead of saying "I am", sailors say, "I be". Instead of saying "You are", sailors say, "You be". Instead of saying, "They are", sailors say, "They be". Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense!
