Happy "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!!!
Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:03Happy "Talk Like A Pirate Day"!
If you participate, Do exercise care in the workplace,
because it is still considered inappropriate to say things like:
-I like 'em round in the counter and bluff in the bow!
-Come give this ol' sea dog a bone!
-Give a gallon to the shanty man and blow boys, blow!
Gentlemen, do NOT refer to the ladies as:
"a good place to bury treasure" or
"a chest of gold and jewels".
Ladies, do NOT ask a gentleman:
"Can your mast withstand this storm?"
And NOBODY should ask:
"Is that a parrot on your shoulder or are you just happy to see me?"
And most especially, do NOT practice THIS form of Pirate Courtship:
"Arrrh! Shiver me timbers, swab me cannons, and load the shot. Thar blows a tight vessel with booty worth plunderin! Ahoy There!! Heave to, drop yer sails and prepare to be boarded!!"
...especially while drunk on grog.
Hope this helps.
