You know you think too much...

[CrazyCholeBlack]

You know you think too much like a pirate when your little swab sees a picture in a coloring book and points it out to you saying "look mama, he's wearing buckle shoes just like a pirate!"

[William Brand]

I say 'aye' now about as often as I say 'yes'.

[Rumba Rue]

Took my parrot Gilligan over to get his claws filed down yesterday. The guy says to me, "Isn't your husband the pirate guy?"

[Red Cat Jenny]

Have been asked for the billionth time..nice ribbon, why the braid? heh..

[Capt. Sterling]

When the entire fifth grade tells me "You know, you really look like a pirate captain and you walk like one too," and I'm in mundane clothes pacing the class room...

[Red Cat Jenny]

heehee precious..lol

It's those moments....

[CaptainSatan]

When I'm working on a show we go out and Splice the Main Brace when we wrap for the day.

-CS-

[Capt. Sterling]

When your own kids call you captain!

[Ransom]

When someone cuts you off in traffic, and you yell, "Ya bilge sucking, deck-licking lubber!" Instead of just calling them an A..hole!

[oderlesseye]

Eye slip out the word "Scuttlebutt"....yesterday...

1. Nautical.

a. an open cask of drinking water.

b. a drinking fountain for use by the crew of a vessel.

2. Informal. rumor or gossip.

[Origin: 1795–1805; 1900–05 for def. 2; scuttle3 + butt4]

[Red Cat Jenny]

When you're quite glad to find email from a pirate in you mailbox first thing in the morning..lol

hmmm...pmail

[blackjohn]

ditto.

Also... when... you have to figure out if you want to put that $70 toward a book, or toward a fourth pistol...

[michaelsbagley]

You start calling people Mate, and ending your sentences with "eh."

"So, mate, had a rough ride to work, eh?"

That just sounds like someone who can't get their Australian and Canadian accents straight!

[The Doctor]

On the cruise, I kept having to "correct" myself when talking to the crew; the blank looks when I said "larboard" were pretty funny.

[LadyBarbossa]

I, too, often find m'self replying with "aye" more than I say "yes"... whether it's for role call, or worse.. in response to our Drill Team Captains I'll always say "aye" or "Aye, aye".

Better yet... when you get strange looks when ya tell folks you do piracy for fun. And in return when they say "Arrghh!!" you give them the same strange look in return!

You play any of the PotC soundtracks and your Instructors beg you to borrow your CD to listen to it! AFTER you use it for music background for your Riding Final!

One thing's for sure, the PotC does NOT go well with a Civil War theme's drill team.

Oh, and that's another, too... you know you've watched PotC TOO MANY TIMES when they play a song from PotC and in your mind the scenes from the movie are flippin' through your head. Or worse... you start acting out the scenes!

[Red Cat Jenny]

I wake up and need to see what all of you are doing..

[Arthur Richards from Kent]

I dont think anyone can ever think too much about pyracy...... especially here with all of youze! perfect

[blackjohn]

When you seriously think about spending $500 on a pirate book purchase...

[Red Cat Jenny]

When you trade an endless enfilade of emails with a notorious pirate..

[CrazyCholeBlack]

When, while watching Beauty & the Beast (Disney version) you have to point out the guy in the bar scene with what could be a tricorn hat & another with a glass bottomed tankard.

[Ransom]

When your husband is looking at a circa 1950's 65' staysail schooner "project boat" and thinking of it as a possible home for us when he retires - and he's serious! And I'm trying to talk him out of it - but not very hard!

We're in serious trouble!

[LadyBarbossa]

Why in th' bleedin' devil are ya trying to talk him out of it?

... When they are predicting a snow storm... and all you can think about is doing a photo shoot in the snow wearing your pirate outfit to co-inside with PotC 3.

... When you watch over and over again the trailer for AWE and have a sudden craving for chinese and sushi.

... When you walk into your bathroom and suddenly a song from a pirate movie pops into your head - specifically the erie background music in "the Goonies" when Mikey opened the hatch and entered slowly into One Eyed Willie's quarters.

... When you watched last nights Dancing With The Stars and thought Joey and his partner were cheesy pirates cause of the way they dressed.

... When others talk about Glocks and other guns you start talking about your flintlocks and have no interest in their weapons cause your weapon is just WAY TOO COOL!!!

Sorry False Ransom, I know quite a few people who've done it...though they're all my parent's age, and also of one my age who lives in a 38 motorcrusier inherited by his late father. I am battling similar urges but telling myself that a 22 pop-top Catalina sailboat is all I need. My 1957 Ford for sale = boat. So I'm a bad influence.

[CrazyCholeBlack]

well it's not "pirate" related but

When you're 6 year old is watching "The Corpse Bride" & in trying to describe the bride's dress says

"the top is like stays, only without the straps"

I think that means we talk about historic clothing a lot
