MadMaryFlint Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Blimey! I ne'er seen so many pirates a'fore. Okay, okay. I'll stop with my bad imitation of a pirate. Honestly, I am one of those crazy ppl that got into pirate stuff 'cause of a certain movie with a certain attractive actor... But I assure you that I've always been a history fan and history of the Americas rocks. I promise to work on my pirate speech (hopefully y'all will help me) as long as you promise not to keelhaul me (and I probably spelled that wrong..). As I mentioned, I am very interested in history. I did not, however, mention that I am a photographer. I live around the northern area of VA and am looking for opportunities nearby to do some "pirate shooting" (no weapons involved). Does any one have any suggestions, etc.? Please accept me even though you are all so much more wonderful than I and I got interested in pirates for a very bad reason... to the moderators: I now realize that this was probably the wrong place to post this message, but I've never been great at choosing. I apologize. Have a drink on me.
Captain Sage Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Ahoy and welcome to this fine establishment, MadMaryFlint! Over 60 broth(sist)ers added to the ranks since I climbed aboard late June, a regular pirate revolution, if you will. All ye' new folk should visit my poll All Things Piratical and tell us if ye' feel this is truly a popular wave to be ridden. Me own site ain't too shabby for the learnin' of swabbies and such, either, and I DO say so, myself! Fair Winds, Captain Sage PS-"Blimey" started out as the oath,"May God blind me."(if what I am about to assert isn't true). Interesting, ain't it?

Capt. Flint Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Mad Mary, being new to the party is fine and the reasons you got interested are fine. But..... I never heard anyone playing pirate apoligize so much. Relax. Enjoy the site and post what you will. If you truly want to learn a few things, then post some questions....... See ya. The Capt
MadMaryFlint Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 hahaha! You're so right, my dear Captain! I do need to lighten up (or something). No more apologies from this crazy lass! We wouldn't happen to be related, would we?
Capt. Flint Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Now Mad Mary.. As far as relations go; as Capt. Flint I will boast to being related to the governor and or any other high ranking politician that is not in town to save me neck from a rope party. It is also good to see that you will lighten up, although, I'm not sure I remember that your weight ever came into question. Perhaps you may want to stick to the whatever part...... aarrrgghhhhhh ...... The Capt.
MadMaryFlint Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 I appreciate the comment on my website.. She's the closest thing to a ship I've got. Okay, how's about we play a game? People translate Mad Mary's messages in to pirate talk so's she can learn. Ready? Go!
Capt. Flint Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 i appreciate the comment.............. ok . First remember we do not all always use " pirate talk " when posting. But, in this case, I would say......... Glad ye liked me site. She's not a bad dingy at that heh................... But what you posted was actually fine.. The Capt..... you know this would be easier in the chat room

MadMaryFlint Posted July 23, 2003 Author Posted July 23, 2003 I be very mad! At least, that be what the folks at the movie theatre and WalMart thought this evenin'. We leave the movie (POTC again) and it be pouring! THe rain be comin' down in comforters! (not sheets, mind you. comforters) People be standin' about the door wonderin' what to do and me Mum and me, we pushes our way through the group and walks to me car, though a dinghy woulda served us bettah. Everyone be starin' at us like we's nuts. 'Course, I be wearin' a white shirt.. maybe that be the problem. So we gets to WalMart, and everyone be standin' about under the entrance. More starin'. Even MORE starin' inside. Be I the only one that likes the rain? I be disappointed when it slows down... Maybe I'm not so much of a landlubber as I thought... I had that same trouble when I went to Puebla. The crazy Americans be runnin' through the streets in the pourin' rain and the Mexicans be watchin' us like we's mad men...
Angus Lasseter Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I suppose we all be mad fer likin' th' wind howlin' in our faces, th' rain lashin' at us, an' the sea tossin' about th' deck!!! Folks afeared of a wee bit o' rain... pity, wot, they gonna melt! Aye lass, I expect ye ta be stared at iff'n yer gonna hold yer own private wet chamise contest :) A. Lasseter Wot's ya mean I's gotta check me Pistols n' Cutlass at th' door?!?
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Can't be afraid of a little rain iff'n ya be livin' in the Pacific NW... from September to May it's one big wet chemise contest!! Perchance the rain reminds me of the sea spray and fog of back home?? I can stand out on my deck, fly my flag, and pretend? ARRRRR!! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
Stynky Tudor Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Arr, I begs your pardon Captain Flint sir, I just be 'aving a bit of fun with some of the newer members of the crew as it were. :)
