Coastie04 Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 -When you do fancy ropework on the handles of all your coffee mugs -When some of your mugs are pewter, leather, or wood -When your telescope is more powerful than your new binoculars -When all your friends know by now what a head is when you ask them -When you end the citation of any regulations with "according to the code of the bretheren set down by Bartholemew..." -When your freinds automatically reply to the previous with "I know the code" -When you are contemplating rigging a square tops'l on a modern sloop in order to give you that edge when sailing downwind -When a cold breeze picks up and you think about reefing sails before buttoning up your jacket -When you think port wine should be called larboard wine -When you spend more time on the pyracy pub than you do checking your email Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
Paisley Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 the only reason you have tea bags and coffee in your house is to stain clothing. you yell "heave to" and "step lively" to your kids. your son (11yrs) finally earns enough money to buy something at a faire/event...and what does he get???? ....a flogger but not just any flogger!!

OryginalCinn Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 - you can't have fun playing a game unless you cheat. - you hope someone catches you cheating so you can say "Pirate!" By all means, kill the whelp! ...or at least give him a good flogging. Better yet, let me do it. Flogger * Pyrates of the Coast Bloodthirsty Novelist Pyrate Adventuress

Sealegs Constance Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 When talking about kids you call them cabin boys, and girls just lass. Sometimes the kids even get bilgerats or the crew. Sealegs Constance I am what I am
piratelassie Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Your preferred mode of transportation is a boat...even over land. You are not fazed by music/movie piracy. After all, you're just carrying on a proud tradition. You have had nautical/pirate expressions on the whiteboard on the door to your dorm room for over a week...and your roomate is afraid to erase them. Your main question while clothes shopping is Can this look piratical?
the Royaliste Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 You have had nautical/pirate expressions on the whiteboard on the door to your dorm room for over a week...and your roomate is afraid to erase them. pirates with 'whiteboards???.......say it isn't so..... .......where's me rum ration..........
Patrick Hand Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 pirates with 'whiteboards???.......say it isn't so..... But she did say ...and your roomate is afraid to erase them. so that makes it better........
Hook Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Yer favorite saying to a new lass is "avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly"? or "Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm me lass?" Whar's me pipe?
Red Handed Jill Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Ye don't let the fact that Talk Like a Pirate Day falls on a Sunday... ARRR ye be knowin' Jesus, Matey?

Tudor MercWench Smith Posted January 12, 2005 Author Posted January 12, 2005 Your main question while clothes shopping is Can this look piratical? Oh yes, sooo true . . . You might also be a pirate if you take serious offence whenever someone says pirates don't exist anymore! Grr! It makes me mad!
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 if what it be yer holdin is yours! Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Longarm Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 if what it be yer holdin is yours! Shouldn't that be "if what it be yer holdin isn't yours!" ? I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. To me it smells like....PIRACY!
Longarm Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 You might be a pirate if... You find yourself burying your wifes jewlery in the backyard for no apparent reason. Your wish list includes pillaging and plundering Panama. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. To me it smells like....PIRACY!
blackjohn Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 ... you aren't afraid to sail under the banner of "King Death" or, if you can subscribe to this philosophy: Warriors live with death at their side, and from the knowledge that death is with them they draw the courage to face anything... the worst that could happen to us is that we have to die, and since that is already our unalterable fate, we are free; those who have lost everything no longer have anything to fear.

Capt. Morgan Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Great quote!! Ya might be a pirate if... when death smiles atcha, YA SMILE BACK!! AAARR!

Francois Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 You might be a Pirate If you have a full size deck cannon (6 lb) on a ship carriage in your garage. With 5 lbs of black powder ready to go at any time. If the jolly roger is hanging outside your house. If your cutlass is slung on the back of a chair in your living room with your tricorn sitting on the chair. If you have 20 gallon wooden kegs in your living room. If your sea service pistols are hanging on the wall in your living room. If you teach your children to use a deck knife to eat with instead of a fork. If your son asked santa for a cutlass instead of a baseball bat. If you changed all your cash on hand to dollar gold coins. Francois I am a Free Men of The Sea I don't pillage and plunder.I covertly acquire!François Viete Domont de la PalmierI haven't been accused of Pyracy...............YET
