Sept. 19th is "Talk like a Pirate Day"

[Chewy509]

Shiver me timbers, who drunk the last of the rum, send'em to the plank I say! Arggh.

 

[Clocker]

Avast!!

 

[Mercutio]

Yarr!

 

[ddrueding]

Yarr!

For a different off-beat holiday, try this one (NSFW). We should encourage half the population to participate in this event on August 23. The other half will observe the participants.

While I don't mind ladies showing off, the organisation you linked was founded by Raël. He's a freak. I don't know if he's on wikipedia, but do a quick search on the Net about him and decide for yourself. He's known here (the kind of person you'd wish they don't come from your part of the world) and not in a good way.

You mean like the recommended reading link on the site?

Read for yourself the messages given to us by our creators during Rael's UFO encounter in 1973!

Who would have thought that some people don't like the cult/religious founders?
I saw an alien in a piece of cheese once, but nobody will listen to me.

Half? Even throwing out those under 18, I doubt that most would like to see more than 10-15%.

I think I was in Seattle last year for this. Or maybe it was a different nudist event.

Merc went to this nudist event once.

 

[ddrueding]

I haven't been to a club in ages, but IIRC, you just needed to get one girl to flash them and the rest wanted the attention as well...

 

[LunarMist]

Ages is relative. I bet you never danced to Disco Duck. I don't remember flashing though.

 

[ddrueding]

Nope. This was the 1999-2003 timeframe

I was -4 years old when Disco Duck came out.

 

[LunarMist]

Arrrrgh!

 

[LunarMist]

This year my name is Mad Jack Kidd.

 

[LunarMist]

Arrrrggh. I forgot about it again.

 

[LunarMist]

Double Arrrrgh!

 

[LunarMist]

My friend took the name quiz and the result was Dirty Jenny Roberts. That is odd since I entered daily for the bathing variable.

 

[Mercutio]

LM, your mind is entirely too sufficiently elevated from the gutter.

 

[LunarMist]

Naw. She has a strong libido, but is quite a classy lady.

 

[Howell]

I saw no pirates while in the Caribbean. Disappointed.

 

[LunarMist]

I spent aa years in the Caribbean and saw none either. I did see some stranger things.

 

[Mercutio]

I made it to the Indiana Dunes National Lake Shore last weekend. For the first time.
Kind of weird since I've worked less than a quarter mile from one of the main public beaches for the past seven years or so.

Anyway, it was also devoid of pirates.

 

[LunarMist]

Any pirettes?

 

[Mercutio]

Not as such.

 

[Mercutio]

Arrr!

 

[Chewy509]

Arr, go thim prisoners "Eclipse" and "git", time to walk the plank...

 

[ddrueding]

Not THAT plank...put that peashooter back in ye britches...

 

[LunarMist]

Arrr, indeed. Dirty Jenny got a bit wild last night and there are damages today...

 

[Mercutio]

I believe this is apropos on this holiest of days.

 

[LunarMist]

Arrr!

 

[Mercutio]

I got bronchitis so "arr" is about all I can manage but this seems to fit the holiday spirit.

 

[Handruin]

My office is having a celebration but I'm visiting the doc today for a chest cold. It may also be bronchitis. Arrg-gurglegurgle

 

[sedrosken]

Yargh, mateys! Finished this test, forgot about the day, so here I am now!
I am Dirty Jack Rackham.

Yeah. Okay.


You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

I bathe daily. I don't know what they're on about. Err, YARGH!

(Am I a pirate yet?)

 

[Mercutio]

Sed, you might want to watch "Master and Commander", with an eye toward what Cabin Boys doing on those ships.

See my comment about Dirty Jenny above. I'm not sure of the funky naming algorithm they are using.

 

[LunarMist]

Arrrrr! I'm doomed. See you later...

 

[sedrosken]

All together, mateys!

Yar har, fiddle dee dee,
Bein' a pirate is alright with me,
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!

 

[CougTek]

My pirate name is: Iron William Rackham

"A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!"

It seems to fit.
