Pirate Seika

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

Interesting ...

i think today's depiction of pirate lingo is really just the result of Hollywood's spin on pirates... After all pyracy was not an anomaly.. it was worldwide... spanning from b4 the beginning of recorded history to present day.... and of course pirates from their own areas of the world would have spoken in their own accents and dialects... i think WE (meaning English speaking)choose the English pirate accent as the accepted.. seeing that for us it obviously is the easiest to replicate...

just my thoughts...

I don't drink tea or coffee.. or anything with caffeine for that matter.. but a nice cup of hot lemon with cloves and ginger hits the spot.. or a good cranberry lemon ginger and clove toddy...

Sugar in Chinese tea..? obviously u're NOT Chinese... lol

"Kraken!!!!"

squawked the bird....

"Get lost Bird!!!!"

snapped

so far there is only Cap'n John and I.. but we may be able to commander Cap't Bedlam and his lady to join our crewe.. so that would put us at a grand total of 4...

not sure what to do with the geetar.. but i generally take along my pipa (chinese lute) in replacement of ... the body shape and sound have remained the same for about 500 yrs.. so they r a pretty good trade off.. of course u will have to learn how to play the lute.. but u can play anything on it that u play on the geetar!!!! and it's period...

Tell Harry that the Pyrates of the Coast crewe, Diosa and Hurricane will be customers. I think our entire crewe will be in line for our logo to be put upon us... If he still balks, send him our way for convincin...

Looking forward to seeing you there.

-- Hurricane

awww.. shiver me timbers.. Hurricane...

*blushin pyrate here*

I shall inform Harry that yarr entire crewe will be wanting the mark..

and if ya be lettin me know how many there be.. i shall offer yarr me crewe discount....

xoxox

Cap'n John and I will be heading down for sure.. but we haven't any concrete plans as to where we will be staying as yet..

I'm still hoping to be a vendor this year.. but won't know until Harry gets back to me in the summer...
