As the title says, today is, once again, International Talk Like A Pirate Day; a holiday which is, of course, rather self-explanatory. Avast. So, to cel-arr!-brate, here's a list of pirate pickup lines I received for the occasion. Er. Avast. Top Ten Pickup lines for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day 10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly? 9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm? 8. Come on up and see me urchins. 7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you. 6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon. 5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole? 4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder? 3. Ya know, darlin', I'm 97 percent chum free. 2. Well blow me down? And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is … 1. Prepare to be boarded. Bonus pickup lines (when the ones above don't work, as they often won't) They don't call me Long John because my head is so big. You're drinking a Salty Dog? How'd you like to try the real thing?

*breaks out into song* ~There's just one word that says it all. Arrg! Arrg when you're happy. Arrg when you're sad. Arrg when you're good or bad. Arrg! Arrg to starboard. Arrg to port. Arrg from stem to stern. Arrg! What's that chum? Arrg! One more time. Arrg! Very good. Excelent. In fact, arrg!~ I blame Freddie the Fish. Edit: I missed a verse.

Well, when you have to endure life at sea, even pirates need some form of naval tradition. With the lash out of favor among freebooting crews, you can't rely entirely on rum to pick up the slack, or your guys all fall out of the rigging. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

Canción del pirata José de Espronceda Con diez cañones por banda, viento en popa, a toda vela, no corta el mar, sino vuela un velero bergantín. Bajel pirata que llaman, por su bravura, El Temido, en todo mar conocido del uno al otro confín. La luna en el mar riela en la lona gime el viento, y alza en blando movimiento olas de plata y azul; y va el capitán pirata, cantando alegre en la popa, Asia a un lado, al otro Europa, y allá a su frente Istambul: Navega, velero mío sin temor, que ni enemigo navío ni tormenta, ni bonanza tu rumbo a torcer alcanza, ni a sujetar tu valor. Veinte presas hemos hecho a despecho del inglés y han rendido sus pendones cien naciones a mis pies. Que es mi barco mi tesoro, que es mi dios la libertad, mi ley, la fuerza y el viento, mi única patria, la mar. Allá; muevan feroz guerra ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí; tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes. Y no hay playa, sea cualquiera, ni bandera de esplendor, que no sienta mi derecho y dé pechos mi valor. Que es mi barco mi tesoro, que es mi dios la libertad, mi ley, la fuerza y el viento, mi única patria, la mar. A la voz de "¡barco viene!" es de ver cómo vira y se previene a todo trapo a escapar; que yo soy el rey del mar, y mi furia es de temer. En las presas yo divido lo cogido por igual; sólo quiero por riqueza la belleza sin rival. Que es mi barco mi tesoro, que es mi dios la libertad, mi ley, la fuerza y el viento, mi única patria, la mar. ¡Sentenciado estoy a muerte! Yo me río no me abandone la suerte, y al mismo que me condena, colgaré de alguna antena, quizá; en su propio navío Y si caigo, ¿qué es la vida? Por perdida ya la di, cuando el yugo del esclavo, como un bravo, sacudí. Que es mi barco mi tesoro, que es mi dios la libertad, mi ley, la fuerza y el viento, mi única patria, la mar. Son mi música mejor aquilones, el estrépito y temblor de los cables sacudidos, del negro mar los bramidos y el rugir de mis cañones. Y del trueno al son violento, y del viento al rebramar, yo me duermo sosegado, arrullado por el mar. Que es mi barco mi tesoro, que es mi dios la libertad, mi ley, la fuerza y el viento, mi única patria, la mar. —Alorael, who thinks that needs to be translated and/or set to music.

It's "Song of the Pirate" in Spanish. I tried my hand at translating it and, of course, there's no way to do it without utterly butchering it. But the refrain works! Oh, my ship is my treasure, And my god is liberty, My only law, force and the wind, My only homeland the sea. —Alorael, who even got it to rhyme. Oddly enough, that's one of the parts of the poem that doesn't rhyme is Spanish. And yes, it probably should be freedom instead of liberty, but then it wouldn't rhyme [ Wednesday, September 20, 2006 16:14: Message edited by: Iredeemable & Irremediable ] Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Well, there are always The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. We are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. We just stay home, and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, We'll just tell you, We don't do anything. There are several inane verses. The original version, sung by a cast of CG vegetables, is the best. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

Don't forget The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by the Arrogant Worms. I used to be a farmer and I made a livin' fine I had a little stretch of land along the CP line But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't there And bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no "Hire you now?" they always laughed, "We just let twenty go!" The government they promised me a measly little sum But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone I'm going to be a pirate on the River Saskatchewan.... Arrrrrgh! Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores Well you'd think the local farmers would know that I'm at large But just the other day I found an unprotected barge I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are aquiver 'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is hiding in the bay I'll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores Well Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat He'd follow on the shoreline but he didn't own a boat But cutbacks were a comin' and the mountie lost his job So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob A swingin' sword, a scull 'n' bones and pleasant company I never pay my income tax and screw the G.S.T. (screw it!) Prince Albert down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea If you want to reach the Co-op, boy, you gotta get by me! Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores Well pirate life's appealing but you don't just find it here I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of buccaneers They roam the Athabaska from Smith to Fort McKay You're gonna lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way Well winter is a comin' and a chill is in the breeze My pirate days are over when the river starts to freeze I'll be back in spring time, but now I have to go I heard there's lots of plunderin' down in New Mexico Cause it's a Heave! Ho! Hay! Ho! Comin' down the plains Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains It's a Ho! Hay! Hi! Hay! Farmers bar your doors When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores [ Wednesday, September 20, 2006 20:40: Message edited by: Tyranicus. ] -------------------- "Tyranicus is about the only one that still posts in the Nethergate Forum." —Randomizer Spiderweb Chat Room Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

And there are, of course, the remarkably eloquent and curiously melodious Pirates of Penzance. [Edit: A paradox! A paradox! No, just a comma splice.] —Alorael, who is often an orphan but who only said it once.

quote:Ooh, I just love that song. It's my most favorite veggietales song in the whole world! quote:Well, the two year old can't play by himself, now can he? It may be to their detriment, but I've had the kids playing age-appropriate computer games since they've been big enough to sit on my lap. (About six months old) And often the younger kids want to play the big kid games, too. Edit: Most recently, my four year old has taken a liking to The Sims. He likes to have them clean up their mess...

Somewhat late, but I celebrated Talk Like a Pirate Day with several of my friends in great style... the style of pirate costumes, swords and random fights, getting us kicked out of a class. Funnily enough, we did a better job doing that than talking like pirates. Kept on forgetting. Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Yesterday, my attention was drawn to the radio station http://www.shantyraidio.com (Irish/Celtic/Pirate Shanties). I'm posting this here because within hours of listening to it I heard both "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" and "We're the Pirates who don't anything".
