Yarrr

submit to reddit

So today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Since I’m writing all the time, becoming a shut-in, and hardly get out of the house anymore, I don’t have too many folks to whom I can talk like a pirate. I mean, yarrr, um, my hearties.

And I only know one pirate. I never know what to make of her blog, but it makes me laugh (in a NSFW or school kinda way), so there ye go.

Yarrr.

Of course, my other favorite pirate is Steve.

    Batten yer hatches landlubbers, Sinister Spyglass Tankard is busy scribbling his secrets on a map called “Death From the Skies” that will show us the way to the treasure of true science YARRR! (it’s definitely three R’s, just say it out loud).

    In the movie Scooby-Doo: Pirates Ahoy, the pirates actually needed help from an astronomer, as the only clue to where the treasure was hidden was a painting showing constellations visible from the spot.
    Now send all those blige rats who be callin’ themselves CTs to walk the plank!
    (Yes, I know that real pirates never actually walked the plank)

    Q: Why does a pirate wear a black eyepatch?

    A: So he can see better in the dark. :-)

    It works too and it’s a really weird sensation. :-O

    >>> lesbian Pirate Queen

    You win the thread.

    If there’s a Yarrr, can we have a Yars’ revenge?

    It’s easy when he only updates his page once a year, and they tend to just be warmed over anti-Apple screeds, these days.

    The Loose Change parody was good, though. I really despise 9/11 conspiracy theorists.

    Since it’s not pirate day anymore, I concur.
    (It’s talk like you’re British day!)
