Hawk the QM Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The pirate excuse is when a pirate says something terribly offensive and says "Pirate" with one or two thumbs pointed directly at themselves. What was the best/worst thing you got away with because you used the pirate excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hmmm I find I don't have to make excuses, my co-workers do it for me... of course they point at me and say "pirate" and I have to correct them and say "pirate... hunter." Still Pern says it best... I get that look and he mumbles..."Sterling, god d*mn, f**king pirate hunter" I never have to correct him. "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I believe the excuse "Pyrate!" is best used while pointing a large caliber pistol at the offended party: see the movie for the best example. Usually I use the "unarmed" version after having been rebuffed by a member of the fairer sex while I am in pyrate garb. It seems to smooth over any offense or liberty taken while under the influence of rhum. Further, it usually leads to the "offended" party buying me a round! An example: Scene: A bar in Key West (any bar, actually.) A comely and buxom wench. A pyrate. Pyrate (OK, me), eying a pair of well-presented breasts: "Oh, look! A treasure chest!" Treasure Chest: "Excuse me!?" or "F**k off!" or silence accompanied by a evil look. Pyrate: "Oh, sorry. Can't help meself: Pyrate. Always looking for treasure chests and booty." TC: "Is that a real sword?" Pyrate: "Aye, lass, that it is..." TC: "You're cute (cool; look really good in that; are the man of my dreams...OK, not the last one.) Can I buy you a drink?" Mind you, its sometimes her boyfriend that buys the drink...harbors a desire to be a pyrate I think. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Hawk the QM Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I good one that I pulled off was at a bar (naturally) and I just so happened to be wearing my hat. I saw 5 of me mates in a row with drinks in their hands. I walk by them, one by one, took there drinks and slammed them down simply saying "Pirate" after each shot. True, I was pretty hammered after that... but the looks on their faces as they stood silently was truley priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Well, my excuse is usually that I have been busy with "my pirates" (how my husband calls my sites) and I forgot to cook or wash dishes until he came from work:lol: . -A swashbuckling adventures RPG, set in 1720 in West Indies; winner of Distant Fantasies& RPG-D Member's Choice Award; RPG Conference's Originality Award; 2011 & 2012 Simming Prizes- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
