Yersinia Pestis Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 It is a dark, gloomy night and the soft light of a distant lantern beckons me. As I approach the pub I hear the ribald voices of the pirates, privateers, rogues and slatternly wenches within. Entering the pub, my eyes dance around the room, surveying the patrons in order to determine if the husbands of my conquests are present. Deciding that I will not die tonight by the blade of a jealous husband, I approach the bar and shout out, “Tavernkeep, I have a bag full of gold and my throat is dry. Bring me rum and drinks for all!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Welcome and hold tight t' th bag o gold sir! But not so tight as t' prevent enough coin t' parch me thirst! Ray be th barkeep and he'll gladly supply the required drinks ye buy as we welcome ye to this fyne establishment! I'll start with an Ale please! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumba Rue Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well after I got done laughing at yer name, I took a look at yer bio to see a picture of one really scary pirate. Welcome to the Pub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yersinia Pestis Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Many thanks to your warm greetings Red Cat, Crazy, Ms. Tar, Silkie and RumbaRue! For some reason I have always been able to make friends with the ladies. But I think with such fine ladies about, I would be wasting our time talking about me conquests. Silkie, I have always had a soft, warm spot in me heart for a Celtic lass. RumbaRue, why would you laugh at me name? I am only the plague of the seven seas. Alas, you have nothing to fear from me, on the contrary, me thinks I should fear what you ladies may do to me. More drinks! I have more gold in me other pockets!
