Desert Pyrate Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Ahoy pirates... Me mates and meself down here in Santa Fe are starting a sea song group. We plan t' sing fer fun and money, mainly going to the Plaza and singing for tips. Only problem is, Santa Fe is hundreds and hundreds of miles from any major body of water. So I'm trying to think of a really good name for the group that is piratey and deserty all at the same time. (We're thinking of having a sign next to the tip jar that says "help these poor landlocked pirates get home to a ship...") Any ideas?
Connecticut Ben Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 "Marooned" comes to mind ... Cheers, CT Ben
hurricane Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I liked Marooned - or with a desert tilt, Marooned on the Mesa. :) -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

John Maddox Roberts Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Mate: How about "The Filibusters?" The word was used both for pirates and for the private military invaders of Spanish (later Mexican) territory in the southwest and Mexico. By the way, I lives in Estancia, just an hour's sail south of ye.
Desert Pyrate Posted January 29, 2004 Author Posted January 29, 2004 Well then, Mr. Roberts, ye should come up here for some piratin' some time.

Nigel Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Knockin Booty? Hows about shortening it up to one word: "Knockbooty"?
