Cut-throat

Yarr, har, har ! Ye have a point there mate !

As long as the Boss gets the brunt of it.

Like me last honest paycheck. Yarrrr....

Wow, one little slip o the tongue...heh, heh....an I've landed me'self in a whole heap o trouble ! Well, paddles n' feathers be better than tar n' feathers, aye ?

I fart in your general direction !

I understand your frustration Foxe. I have only just begun to educate myself on the life and time of pirates and already many of my deeply rooted preconcieved notions have been dispelled in a matter of days. The only book of piracy I have in my personal library is Under the Black Flag by David Cordingly. But in your thread about John Quelch, you mention a discrepency within Under the Black Flag. How accurate is Cordingly ? I can't help but wonder....Ugh, what a headache ! So where can a newbie enthusiast begin ? Can you recommend any books worth searching for ?

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know wot I mean, know wot I mean, aye, aye ?

How funny, I just happened to bookmark it me'self.

Thanks for the info, Foxe. It be a shame though, it be a pretty interestin tale all the same. I was sort of disappointed that it isn't true. An I still can't get that damn song out o me head. The funny thing about the whole topic be that when I was searchin the net about it, there be tens o hundreds o sites that claim it be true. They don't back it up with anything, but they be quite sure o their own false claims....Have to admit that it be the first that I ever heard o such a thing, but I be glad for this forum to get to the bottom of it. Thanks again.

Uht oh ! * looks back and forth nervously * What have I got me'self into THIS time ?.......

Neither one seems to back up their claims with anything but opinion...but here be the other side o the issue ye mentioned. http://www.snopes.com/humor/mediagoofs/sixpence.asp

Good catch, me lady. I'd like to see how this one pans out. Lemme see if'n I can find somethin on it.

Sorry ladies, didn't put too much thought into it. Just popped up....er....so to speak. I'll try harder next time.

A bar that closes WAY too early !

Its funny, their Captain Kidd figure reminds me o the Captain Morgan from Captain Morgan's spiced rum. An yer right, the Blackbeard with "happy feet" an a big ol' grin on his face is classic.

Wasn't Ring Around the Rosies about the Black Plague ? Interestin indeed !
