Guest Angus MacVox Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 I was thinking of having some bumper stickers made at some point to promote pyracy.com - what should they say? "I'd rather be pillaging." any other ideas?
Captain Luigi Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 How about "Cabin boy on Board" or "My other vehicle is a Schooner"
capnwilliam Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 How about "If you can read this, prepare to be boarded". Capt William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Capt. Flint Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I like Capt. Williams a lot. How aboutjust a good old skull and cross swords saying aarrggghhhhhh... The Capt I'll have more ideas later
Charity Sweetlove Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 it's based off of a joke that I heard many many moons ago and it became the ship's motto: Burn, Pillage, Plunder.... We're romantic that way I think the joke was how to tell what kind of a pirate you are. In which order would you do the following? Burn, Pillage, Plunder or Plunder, pillage, burn? if you chose the first one you were romantic because you were pillaging by fire light. if you chose the second then you were practical.
capnwilliam Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 How about "Show Parrots On Board"? Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Guest Angus MacVox Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I dig the prepare to be boarded idea the best so far... but keep 'em coming & post to this thread whenever you come with one... when it comes time to print up a sticker, hopefully later this summer, I'll put up a poll of the best phrases and the one with the most votes will be printed... I should be able to mail them to you for free with a little contribution for shipping.
Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 How 'bout, "Off my rudder, you scurvy dog!" ? Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Here's one even Luigi might like... "I'd rather be flogging." Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Or maybe... "Tailgaters will be keelhauled." Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
CaptCat Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 So far I like the "If you can read this, prepare to be boarded" and "Tailgaters will be keelhauled" options. Other good ideas might be stolen from NQG's "buccaneer buttons" collection, perhaps? E.g. "We're not Pirates! We're Redistribution Economists." or "If you can't dress like a pirate, why dress at all?" I'll lend some thought to more ideas. I definitely want one of these stickers when the time comes.

Captain Luigi Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 How about "Support wild life...sail with a pirate" or "My wife said she was going to leave me if I don't give up piracy...God I'll miss her" or "This vehicle protected by a .50 caliber flint lock"
Captain Luigi Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 How about "My cutlass,yes...my Pistol, maybe...my rum...NEVER"
moricktowain Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 How about "Cabin boy on Board" or "My other vehicle is a Schooner" I was going to suggest "My other vehicle is a tallship" in the middle with a skull and crossbones on one or both sides of the bumper sticker.

PirateQueen Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 I've had a license plate frame on my cars for the past, oh, 7 or 8 years that says, "My other car is a Pirate Ship." Melusine de la Mer "Well behaved women rarely make history." - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
capnwilliam Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 I like your idea, Captain Morick! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Jamaica Rose Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Other good ideas might be stolen from NQG's "buccaneer buttons" collection, perhaps? E.g. "We're not Pirates! We're Redistribution Economists." or "If you can't dress like a pirate, why dress at all?" Stolen!!! From my button collection?!!? How dastardly you are. At least you are blatant about it. Oh well, I admit I have stolen (or modified) some of my ideas from all sorts of places, so I probably shouldn't protest too much. In fact, I've been finding a few choice new sayings here amongst the bumpersticker suggestions that will work splendidly for new buttons. And I do have quite a few ideas for bumperstickers (several were printed up in No Account Given 1 and 2, the spoof versions of NQG). I just haven't pursued what it takes to get them printed up. If any of you can suggest inexpensive ways to print up small batches of bumperstickers, I'd be glad to learn about them.

captweaver65 Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Sticker Guy! that is so affordable. the standard short bumper sticker size would be .14 cents each and add a stamp and envelope and you have about a dollar including handling. double that for the standard 8.5"x2.75" and you still will make a little money on it and have many pirates who will be indebted to ya forever.

CaptCat Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Jamaica Rose-- I would apologize for suggesting we steal your button ideas, but hey, we're all pirates here! I have to say I don't favor the "my wife" sticker... make one that works for the women as well as the men! Black Cat, Captain of theMatriarch Test everything.

Captain Luigi Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 and what does a pirate do???At least it is good to credit the person you steal from.
Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Ahoy again! How about..."Pirates do it with their boots on"? Or maybe..."That's NOT a cutlass in my pocket" (for the sailor men)? Maybe you could ask Charity/Brenna for her quote..."Get your slit throat off my dagger." That's a good one. Heh, heh, heh. Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Oh, and Jamaica Rose... You might want to check out computer stationery stores. I have heard of coated (weatherproof?) paper that has a peel-off sticky back. For a few prototype bumper stickers, you could do worse. Arrgh! Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
