“Talk Like a Pirate Day”

Avast! me rum-swilling, scurvy-bearded, kelp-haired, bilge-mouthed, land-lubberly, bounty-thieving mates!

Sunday, 19 September is “Talk Like A Pirate” day, 2004.

On that day, all wannabe seafaring pirate lads and bountious, buxom wenches be ordered by his Majesty, the King, to stop spending your tin on the drinking o’ the gin and talk (post) like a pirate.

Assuming your sprung-hulled , slack-sailed, teredo-wormed, barnacle-breathed, reeking of the head, grog-brained hulk of a self isn’t up on your elementary pirate vernacular, you can lean here:

Cap’n Gadget will be using his glass to look ahead and astern, aloft and alow, aweather and alea for the jolly rogers of me piratical ship-mates.

BBWWWWAAACCKKKK!!! *#&&#^^$#@ BWWAACCCKKKK *(&^^%$##)!

(Cap’n Gadget slaps his potty-mouthed parrot.)

AARRRRRRR!!!! (Cap’n Gadget flicks parrot doo-doo from his epaulet.)

(Parrot got even.)

AAARRrrrr, me Lady. So it be swashbuckling entertainment ye seek!

Mayhaps, Cap’n Gadget can chart ye out a course.

Hoist ye signal flags and message the coastal movie chandlers. Ask those sons-of-a-jelly fish if they can dispatch a colorized copy of “The Sea Hawk.” In all me years plying the bounding main, me Lady, your wizened and weathered Cap’n swears upon his sainted Mother Gadget’s grave that he has never seen a better pirate movie.

“The Sea Hawk” went down the ways from the Warner Brothers shipyard in 1940. Captain Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn) was rogue Master o’ the Sea Hawk. Dona Maria Alvarez de Cordoba (Brenda Marshall), a comely wench – but one would expect that of a lassie with no less than four names – provides ye romantical interest.

Movie score by Maestro Erich Korngold at the height of his powers. No ordinary hornpiper be he.

If ye and ye mates can raid the King’s movie vault and procure a copy of “The Sea Hawk,” ye be two-hours well entertained for ye hard-won doubloons.

Signed in blood,

:lol: Arrrr, thanks for tha compliment Cap'n. Perhaps it be the time that Mingez has spent on the warf in San Francisco. Sourdough in me gullet, and Anchor Steam in me head. Arrrrrr!

Now, if only me one legged wench "Peg" would just quit hanging me from the yardarm, i'd be a happy Jack...yo ho ho-- ya swabbies!
 

Hi-Ya, Twisted,

Peter Pan -- another classic film -- a favorite here, with me!

I would not recommend "The Sea Hawk" for viewing by children.

Not a profane word in the movie, nor nudity, but lots o' killin (in the sanitized way of 1940s movies) -- terrific sea battle scenes.

BTW --

I understand. I didn't expect this thread would actually go anywhere. I tossed out the idea hoping for a couple of comical responses. I got them.

It is a struggle to write in a "pirate" way. Enjoy the rum!

Cheers!
