Nigel Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Avast, me hearties!!! International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19) - the perfect date for the Sunken Bones Society "Buccaneer Bash 2009," Held at Red & Jerry's in Denver. Our MC was the ever-entertaining Cap'n Jack of the Pirates of Ill Repute. The place was awash in scoundrels, rogues, rascals, ne'er-do-wells, 'really bad eggs,' and villains. There was lively music, costume contests, a "Talk Like a Pirate" competition (of course,) lots of swag and shiny objects for sale, and - of course - a full bar with lots o' RUM!!! I made an appearance, to plunder, toss back some rum, and draw caricatures. I met new friends, reconnected with old friends (some lost at sea for decades!) and everyone had a swash-buckling good time. Alas, no one heard my dulcit tones regaling comrades with "Bein' a Pirate is All Fun & Games..." Perhaps next time. Location: Denver, CO The band Mondragon performs nautical - and naughty - songs for the crowd. Not all went quietly into the jail. Many of the attendees found themselves behind bars, including Cap'n Jack, leader of the notorious "Pirates of Ill Repute" (is there any better kind of pirates?) "Complications arose, ensued, and were overcome..." The feared Davy Jones and crew were in attendance. "So he wasn't always so... tentacley?" Cap'n Jack and his first mate paused to get their caricature drawn - and quartered! Coming soon to a post office near you! Did someone say "draw???" Cap'n Jack and Nigel square off. Jack looks doubtful of Nigel's marksmanship... A failed attempt at the infamous Will Turner ploy... "He can't die... but I can!" ... Or perhaps "If I can't hit that target, then I can most assuredly hit this one!!!" Bearing an uncanny resemblance to "Blazing Saddles" "He's just crazy enough to do it!!!" Lesson learned: never use the barrel of your pistol to scratch your head. The term "dragged, kicking and screaming..." doesn't even begin to tell the tale. The infamous Madame Rackham and the notorious Roger Rackham with their caricature. (with a name like that, watch out for her boots!) "Wanted"... indeed! Keep a lookout for nefarious upstarts, scoundrels and rogues. Edited September 22, 2009 by Nigel Sir Nigel - aka "Sir Freelancealot"; aka "Ace of Cads"; aka "JACKPOT!!" (cha-CHING!)
