Redbeard Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Avast ye Scurvy Swabs, Now let's see if there be any of ye out there as can settle this'ere argument wot we be 'aving amongst our crew. Now one of the filthy dogs in P.U.B.C.A.T., one "One Eyed Black Jake" (ee don't really ave one eye, but ee thinks it gives im more sea cred), wants as his persona the character of a swiss pirate. Now Oi reckon's that'ee just be plain mad, but'ee says as there really was such a thing as a swiss pirate, so do any of ye swabs out there have any evidence to prove either one of us roight ?

Capt. Flint Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Argghh. In all my reading on the subject, ( and thats a lot ) , I can't say I have ever found any evidence that there were swiss pirates. I'm sure that some yodeler wondered down the mountain and fell on a boat, but, I just can't find anyone who ever put it in writing. So..... what I'm saying is ,that there may of been swiss pirates, but not in any of my books. How would one be a swiss pirate? Eat a lot of meatballs and swill hot coca. Don't laugh. Coca was a very popular drink when it was new. It also became a source of great revenue for those who invested in bringing it to Europe. Enjoy your Ricola...... argghhhhh... The Capt.

Red Maria Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Of course there were Swiss pirates! They were the ones with the multi-purpose folding weapon. You know the one with the cutlass, dagger, flintlock, boarding axe and corkscrew?(the deluxe model had a nail file and quill in the hilt) ;-)
capnwilliam Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 Aye, now there be a good one, Maria! I loved it! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Redbeard Posted April 23, 2003 Author Posted April 23, 2003 Aarrgh! Oi think the way you tell a Swiss pirate is that he has wheels on the bottom of his ship. Or in the case of "One eyed Black Jake" ee has his legs sticking out of the bottom of is ship. (we're quite worried about him actually). Cap'n Redbeard P.U.B.C.A.T.
