LadyBarbossa Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Oh, this is so weird yet funny. You know you think too much about piracy and too much of a pirate... when you think about Davy Jones and the first thing that comes to mind... is gotta get something to eat at Long John Silvers... and grab the fish planks, shrimp, clams dinner with the lobster bites! Anyone have those twisted piratical moments? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Red Cat Jenny Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well for one...Oi! Now I'm hungry! Hmm find myself gravitating towards more fish, carib sauces, mango and orange juice (Nantucket Nectars yum!) and Coconut Lime moisturizer. Mostly stopping by the shore and just staring.........at the horizon. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love.

Rumba Rue Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 You know you think too much like a pirate when you start talking like one to people and they look at you strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 you know you think to much like a pirate when you send a message to your city councelman using "period spelling" (oops!)

Captain Jim Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 No fair, Bess, no fair... Like when the time comes to depart the office for field work and I tell my co-workers its "Time to cast off..." or I tell them to close the tailgate on the truck by saying “Secure that hatch…” I also use that term when telling them to save their work on the computer as in “secure your work and let’s shove off for lunch…” I have yet to tell anyone to “avast” only because I’ve stopped myself.

Ransom Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I've caught myself using the tem "belay" for all kinds of stuff. "Hey, belay that idea." "Oh man, belay that, it won't work." "Belay!"

blackjohn Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 When you walk into someone's cube and say "ahoy." Or when you go into a staff meeting, and someone starts talking about enforcement of marine sanctuary laws in Thunder Bay, and how the law is written so that enforcement types can't use a gun while protecting submerged cultural resources, so the guy you said ahoy to chimes in with, "just issue them cutlasses" and I say "I know where I can get some cheap!"

Capt. Sterling Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 "Belay" for me as well... I use it all the time, my kids get it but others don't... I always have to explain... and starboard and larboard... when giving directions and I've gotten to the point that I am just hating man-made fabrics... give me 100% naturals any day...

Coastie04 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'm lucky in getting to use nautical terminology all the time and people understand it. 'Belay' is standard, as are all directions (port, aft...), a toilet is a head, we have a quarterdeck, etc. However, the only person that I've found that I can talk about specific pirates, history, etc. is one of the cooks. And yes, he once made me some hard tack in our galley. When I start talking about sailboats, however, my executive officer reminds me that they're just SAR (search and rescue) cases waiting to happen.

Ransom Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If I had enough of the shiny, I'd buy me a pair of boots. I know they aren't period, but I don't care. They look way too cool.
