Albatross Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Good day; I am known as Albatross, Mad Bird one of one. I have never pillaged a village, plundered a brig, of perished in a storm. In truth I have only been out to sea once, and in that two-week voyage the sea captured my heart. I have dreamed of going back ever sense. Perhaps I am just a hopeless romantic. And now I ask, how doses one become a Pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfoot Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Aye, good day Mr. Young Albatross. Welcome aboard matey. Do not be led astray or strangley influenced by these pyrates. However, we be a group of understanding and friendly pyrates welcomin' you to this pub. How do ye become a pyrate? Tis' in your heart. Be hangin' around us and the pyracy blood will be flowin' in your veins in no time. How about I buy you a virgin margarita?

CaptainCiaran Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Aye, good day Mr. Young Albatross. Welcome aboard matey (Ciaran walks in, takes a look, and knocks Sir Blackfoot over the head) Arrgh, mate, take a closer look! Albatross be a lassie! Welcome to ye, m'Lady. The first thing ye do on yer way to 'becomin' a pirate is to honour a tradition we have here in the Pub. That bein' ye must buy us all a round o' drinks. Ray here (motions toward man behind counter) be our bartender and a fine gent he is. Ray, an orange juice to start me mornin'. Gramercy. So, Miss Albatross, welcome to ye. Take a visit throughout the Pub; it's a vast establishment. And, don't let some of these buckos (nudges Blackfoot) lead ye astray! Captain Ciaran of North Carolina I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

Black Syren Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Strolls in to here Ciaran and Blackfoot and laughs, looks to Albatross with a warm smile and bows.."Ye may call me Siren lass and welcome aboard. As Ciaran stated tis for you to buy all who welcome you drinks and Ill take a diet coke to start with. And yes if you hang around here long enough piracy becomes an infaturation. But a most intresting one to be sure. If you have any questions you need only ask and any can assist you. Grammercy for the coke Lass." 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) Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbados Sam Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Aye...another table dancer amongst us eh? Tis always me pleasure ta welcome another beautiful lass to our fair pub. Allow me ta lift me mug o' Tattoo high fer a toast to ye luv. Enjoy yer stay "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 welcome aboard lass ....the desire to be is enough to become lass the finding of a crew to sign on with is your choice ....watch yerself .....some of these cut-throats be pretty scurilous ....but most are fyne folk and i'm sorry folk if she wishes to be pyratical ...i'm sure that her being around the consumption of large amounts of rum will happen soon enough so ray if you please a flaggon of your fynest black rum for m'self and whatever the lass choses to inbibe with!!!

Albatross Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am somewhat lucky. By the laws of Physics I should by dead, but I seemed to have survived.
