    Aaaaarrr! Shiver me timbers, I just got back from Davey Jones’ locker… and he don’t properly wash his gym shorts. Aaaar!
    I mean it really reeks for so many weeks now. He tried covering up the smell with cologne, but without the laundry degergeant… PHEW!
    It’s like the smell of the sea mixed in with rum, tar, rotten onions, and it stanks of Nautica and Old Spice. Yaaarrr! :twisted:

  2. Aaar! Hoist me yardarm and shiver me down! Yaargh!
    Whar be the ample and comely wenches eager to
    welcome a barnacled soul such as meself? Aarr!
    To find a lassy and fill her head with rum and tales
    of treasures and pleasures, yaarrr :twisted:
    (…and her little friends, TOO!)

    Happy Talk-Lika-Pirate Day! Yo Ho Fo Sho! :mrgreen:

    I also remember this pirate video I use to have for the PS2 years ago. I think it was called Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat, or something like that. It’s like the Lara Croft or Tomb Raider of pirate games. Except with the added ship battles, instead of only just the character battles, for extra fun. I enjoyed sailing around, upgrading my ship, firing my cannons at enemy ships, and taking over enemy ports, while out in sea. :grin:

    Oh, how does that pirate song go again?

    “16 heads in a dead man’s chest…
    …Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!”

    I don’t know if you guys had this tv show years ago, it is called Captain Pugwash. This show was one of few shows that snuck in with funny yet rude character names, such as Master Bates and Roger The Cabin Boy.

    • If you haven’t already guessed, I have the Muppet Treasure Island movie in my video collection. You think Im a bit overboard with this pirate thing? I started pirating in 1980. I still have not been captured and tortured for my crimes. :wink:

      • mijj says: 10.1.1

        do you fly the Jolly Roger?

      • mijj says: 10.1.2

        oh yeh .. and why is it called the “jolly roger”?

      • You mean the one in my trousers? Yea I had to go there. Sorry! :razz: But there is some connection to my statement. Read on:

        Jolly Roger, a flag supposedly flown bu pirates, consisting of a white skull (and sometimes crossed bones beneath it) on a black background. Another version, a black skeleton on a yellow field, was perhaps a misreading of the flag of Imperial Austria, which during the eighteenth century was used as a flag of convenience by privateers. Its seems that the black flags where sometimes flown by pirates; but there is no hard evidence that the skull and crossbones was.
        The word ‘Roger’, from the personal name, Old French ‘Roger’, ‘Rogier’ and Old High German ‘Ruodeger’, ‘Hrodger’, had by 1700 comes to the slang from a penis, and may be figuratively employed in the expression ‘Jolly Roger’. What makes it festive is less easy to conjecture, unless carousing over the spoils. First attested in 1785 in Grose, A Classical Dictionary. :wink:

        So my Roger hasn’t been very Jolly lately. :cry: Maybe its because I beat him over the head with the belaying pin until the Sea men come out and stop me. The crew is always trying to stop me from having any fun on my ship. :roll:

      • Jolly roger, hmm…. :roll:
        of course “rogering” is
        another popular slang
        word for making a girl
        feel … welcome, Aaarrr! :mrgreen:

    All this piratey stuff got me thinking of that low-budget horror flick, “Jolly Roger.” I thought a couple of the women who had topless scenes in that movie were kinda hot. That red-head in the beginning, who unfortunately got sliced in half. And that stripper chick, with the big boobs, who gave Jolly Roger a lap dance was awesome. :mrgreen:

    After watching these videos, I realized that I did more pirate-like stuff than I thought. Most of the things mentioned in the first 2 lessons I have said at some point :grin:

    Thar She Blows :wink:

    Cool vids :mrgreen:

    You should put this day in your hotforwords calendar marina :grin: Yarr!

    I always liked this song from Curse of Monkey Island. The song is called A Pirate I Was Meant To Be.

    This classic series of Monkey Island games were done by LucasArts. They also do the Star Wars and Indiana Jones games
