Pirate Seika

little bony monkey fingers

but this would be all 3 of us as pirates.. the other pirate/cecil is our friend Richard... he plays Stede Bonnet at the faires

well thank u... that is me as lizzy the oneth.. lol although that would not be me pirate man...!!! this be my pirate...

Unfortunately... there really isn't any intelligence on either side here..... of course the teachers and school played into his hands and he got the attention he was looking for.... Perhaps I could open The Church of the Flintlock & Cutlass or Church of the Skull & Crossbones and post a website and register it as a not for profit religious entity and voila... hahahah i went to school in the 80's with a big black mohawk and leather jacket.. etc... and was NEVER asked to wear my hair down or change my jacket... i think the school went overboard here (pardon the pun) is it really a question of religion? or freedom of expression? hard to say.... was he actually causing anyone harm.. and did he just show up like this outta the blue.. or was he dressing like this all the time..? if so and it hadn't bothered anyone in the past.. why now? me in the 80's

useless excuse for pirates!!!

so true....

well Hurricane.. as usual with a pop culture.. it has it's surges and ebbs.. and POTC3 is still fueling the fire at the moment.. but i agree with what u said about the public.. i am a veteran of Ren /Pirate festivalsnow for about 20 some odd years... and the faires have their regulars but whenever u get a movie out there that becomes a hit (like Knights Tale.. or POTC) the public can't get enough of pirates or the middle ages etc... thankfully or not.. depending on u're view.. Hollywood and pop culture does manage to keep us in jobs or hobbies by often misguiding the public on the history of the world...

don't think the producers were eluding the fact that Port Royal exists todayas a tourist destination.. they were looking at the history of the cities ports etc... but i had the same complaint on another description for the first series.. stating that archaeologists refer to times predating Egyptian culture as prehistoric... I'm an archaeologist and i took offense to that comment..lol so they r going to reword it.. i told them it was misleading... as we don't think like that at all.. so i'll just fire off another email re the wording on the Pirate one as well.. LOL

Interesting... there is a Canadian production being shot starting in September of this year... actually Cap'n John and I will likely be hosting the series.. we sat down with Civilized Productions 2 years back and hammered out the show.. it's finally starting to shoot.. so we r very pumped about it... but like it was said ... NEVER too many Pirate Shows.... Civilized Productions

Be there a crew out there looking for 2 pirates from Torontuga? Preferably one in Florida.. as we set sail there whenever possible.. We aarrrr dishonest, unreliable and drink.. but we aarrrr pretty...lol

Mate... if the polar ice caps melt.. Piracy.. will be the last of our worries...

*shoots off blunderbuss... and passes the rum bottle* Congrats!!!!!! i take me hat off to ya mate....

Yes... we had the very same type of classes at ORF (Ontario Renn Festival)as well... thankfully I played a gypsy and or pirate on most occasions so i wasn't subject to having to speak in upper class English.. except of course when i play good ol' lizzy the oneth.. and it's upity all the way... lol

perhaps there should be an official unoffical pyracy pirate lingo thread.. where we can post all ARRRR piratey terms and such for all to learn... just a thought...

Happy EARLY B-Day may the wind always be at u're back...

well... i'm offically a deck hand ... arrrr that could lead to all sorts of trouble now couldn't it... lol jeez.. i got SO excited i wet me self 'n don't mind me spellin.. i arrrrr pyrate

clearly a moot post.. but i had to hit 50 to see if me rankin has changed.. i'm tired of bein a deck swabber....

arrrr ye buyin the next round?

well... u may wanna consider droppin anchor at PIP and bring the crew on by for a Pyratical henna tattoo... Gangrene u say... well the herbs in me henna may help put ya right... if the don't maybe a shot o'rum...

i've done gone and joined the crew...

and since i've now exposed me true pyratical GEEK colours.. i shall sail off into the foreboding storm ahead and keelhaul me self into oblivion

i can't imagine Morgan speaking like that considering his background... i'd have my doubts any upper rank Royal navy/privateer/or educated man/woman would have spoken in pirate slang ... like most variations in language.. if it did at all exist it would likely have grown out of the lower class sailors and phonetic attempts at translations... interesting that there seems to be very little credible evidence of a pirate language or dialect outside of literature and film... but... again... just because it isn't recorded doesn't mean it didn't exist... and although the academic side of me wants to poo poo the notion of a pirate lingo.. the archaeologist side of me wants to believe the proof is out there somewhere just waiting to be found.....

amazin the useless bits of flotsam and jetsam that be floatin around in me noggin block most days.. if it's been of some help.. so be it..lol i'll be jarrin my jawbone in nasty Hollywood pirate English till a floggin ensues

LOL... don't think the term Dread Pirate means.. having dreadlocks... if it is a real term beyond books and movies.. don't u think it may have meant dreadful or dread as in have fear of? just a thought... although my pirate Cap'n is a dread pirate of the hair kind... lol

ran for cover.... under
