Captain J. Savage Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Well I know it's a tabletop game; while on my quest to piss the wife off by impregnating her characters on the sims 2 I notice it's a job title; I even see it as a rank in the forum... Where the hell did the term Dread Pirate originate? How is it different from a regular pirate? (if at all different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster James Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I think it comes from the matted hair pyrates affected after time spent in Jamaica... ... ... ... ... ... No? ... ... Seriously? ... ... ... Okay, the first use of Dread Pyrate I can recall is The Dread Pyrate Roberts, from The Princess Bride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarborMaster Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 "That" Mr. Silent is for my bar.., HA --- HA. I am wanting to put a large oak keg that says Rhum in the corner with a small XXX powder keg ..,a few lightly built wooden crate boxes., then toss a burlap sac .,"SUGAR" and of course this bag of Jamaican grass. Sort of build a pile of "Cargo " in the corner. Either way .,back to this thread., maybe too much of THIS can cause Dread-Locks :angry: I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.
