Tudor MercWench Smith Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 As I was lying in bed the other night, deathly ill, I started thinking how funny it could be if I started this here list and see what everyone could come up with. So I'll start it off, and everyone else add anything that pops into their heads. You might be a pirate if . . . ~You go into a bar and try to order Grog ~Anytime someone speaks negativly about pirates, you look at them in all seriousness and respond "You say 'Pirate' like it's a BAD thing!" ~You think Hamlet is Shakespeare's greatest work, not for the depth of Character, but because pirates rescue the hero -Well, that's all I can remeber for now. They seemed funnier the other night. Maybe I was delerious So add to 'em, try and salvage my idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Annie Finlay Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 ...you spend hours trying to teach your dog/cat/hamster/gerbil/rabbit to sit on your shoulder and say "pieces of eight!" and "where's the rum?" The Wit and Wisdom of Capt. Jack Sparrow: The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers. Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom. Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. Will Turner: You cheated. Jack Sparrow: [shrugs] Pirate.

Capt. Morgan Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 You wonder why the signs on the head don't read "Mates" and "Wenches"... you also wonder why you almost mess yourself cuz no one knows where to send you when you ask, "Where do I go to use the head??"

Merrydeath Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 you say bow and stern to describe some one, you say aye, and you're not saying the alphabet. You have a ship in your back yard and the sea is 1000 miles away. the words Pilfer, Pillage, and Booty come easier to your lips then your kiddy crew's names. You have an anchor on your car to hold it in place for the parking spots. you have more bottles of Rum and Ale then wine and Tums. someone says DVD pirate, and you think its cool. you give your beloved mate cutlasses and guns instead of candies and cards for special days.

Diego Santana de la Vega Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 you just might be a pirate: If you'd rather be out ta sea than on the docks If yer sister carries a blunderbus If yer mom's name is Smythe If you can carve wood with a cutlass Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.

Tempest Fitzgerald Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 When stuck in gridlock traffic or are cut off by some s.o.b., you instantly think of how you could mount a "long 9" on you car/truck to handle the situation the next time it happens. ...Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Tombless, with no rememberance over them: Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like a Turkish mute, shall have a toungueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph...

Rumba Rue Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 When your parrot ONLY knows pirate words. (Mine does!) When everything in your car has a skull and crossbones motif. This also includes license plate frames that say, "My other car is a pirate ship." (Got one) When you go to a party and bring your big drinking mug attached to your belt with all the chachkies on it. When you wear your pirate outfit to a church wedding and everybody thinks you look better than the bride.

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 you say aye, and you're not saying the alphabet. ...You say "R" and yer not sayin' the alphabet. ...Someone mentions "a vast landscape" and you ask why they are hailing the landscape. ...When looking at Texas on the map, you begin to wonder if there is any significance as to where the large "X" was placed.

crimsoncrow Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Ye find that 90% o' yer house decore carries a nautical theme and most o' that be o' pyrate flavor. When ye give directions, it always be in points o' the compass instead o' left, right, straight. You say, Millers when refering to rats. Terms like, "Kissin' the gunner's daughter" are jus' a part o' everyday conversation. Ye have a better knowledge o' rum than most Barkeeps.
