BILLY BONES Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I think I'd go for a more serious saying, which mates more adept than I have already suggested. Just personal taste, but if I'm going to have something permanently on me body, it had better mean something to me. BB Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.
Capt.Rummy Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah I definately want it to be more serious. Agreed. And "I'd rather be training cabin boys."????? Id rather not nice Im not a butt pirate. lol
FilmPirate Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 How about one of the following: "To the mast nail our flag it is dark as the grave, Or the death which it bears while it sweeps o'er the wave." "It shall never be lowered, the black flag we bear." "O'er the race that I loathe, to the battle I love."
Rummy3 Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 I know - how about "RUMMY" I've never seen me nake in a tattoo before!
Black Syren Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 If it were me I would use the one Dead Men offered.." "N'ere go down without a fight"" Just seems appropriate for what you are describing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)

Zath Chauvert Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Well, most of the popular ones have already been listed. However, unless I missed it, I don't think that anyone has mentioned one of my favorites. "A man born to hang needs never fear drowning." Also, John Masefield's nautical poetry if full all sorts of good quotes in varying degrees of piraticalness.

HarborMaster Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Personally I like the old mans in Master and Commander who recieved the brain surgery and the silver schilling metal plate. Upon his Knuckles was written., "HOLD FAST" Very appropriate indeed! I am not Lost .,I am Exploring. "If you give a man a fire, he will be warm for a night, if you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life!"
callenish gunner Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 siren i usually go down at the drop of a hat .... or skirts
Capt.Rummy Posted March 3, 2006 Author Posted March 3, 2006 I like this from a Masefield poem: I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied But how do you shorten that... Its great though. If only he worded it differently. Anybody know any other poets?
