Gibbet Jones Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Ahoy fellow gentlemen of fortune! I'm new ter this here port an' would like ter inroduce me onesies. Me Freebooter name is Gibbet Jones . I've writen a little yarn about me character, Gibbet. Ahoy matey! I be known in many ports by both mateys an' enemies as Gibbet Jones. How did I fetch that name ye ask? I be captured but only fer a short time whilst plundering th' church's gold furnishings an' wine. Th' governor so enraged ordered a gibbet ter be made ter match me fer all me ill deeds, Th' day afore me trial whar I be sure to dance with Jack Ketch. Me crew tied a line ter th' iron bars o' me prison an' yanked me free whar we made haste ter weigh anchor. Arrr! But afore we made our route out I stole th' very gibbet fitted fer me from th' blacksmith's shop an' filled it the th' governor's own riches from his home whilst he slept. Th' next morning when they soon found that I had' gone missing, They rallied ter search every ship. I had me crew hoist th' colors o' an honest ship an' temporarily change me ships name. When th' port authority came aboard looking fer me an' me booty they chanced upon neither, fer I hid all me booty in me me own gibbet scaffold an' slung it overboard in th' place of th' anchor. That is how I became known as Gibbet Jones. Oh an' Where was I ye ask?.......In a row vessel heading out ter briny deep. Dinnae worry about me booty I would later randevu with me ship 'The Laughing Cormorant' an' collect on me ill gotten gains. I've included a photo of my daughter and I.

Graydog Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well met Lad, I see by that amazing colorful woodcut ye done presented that a fine lad like yer self must travel in the finest of circles. And it be obvious ye keep nothin but the highest quality of company as it were. Now if ye don't be mindin tis a custom to be buyin a round of drinks. Which of course be rum in this har poor person's case, tis true. Please have a seat and be tellin us more of yer darin do. I suspect our interest will peak the more ye relate the tale around a bit of rum. So, do go on now. Yer among friends, don't be afeared to lye yer purse upon the table as we will take great crae to watch it fer ye. Great to have ye with us mate, -Greydog Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
