Gather round, children and I'll tell ye the tale of CindyThe Awful. Each year on the nineteenth day of the ninth month she raises the sails on the cursed penal colony she calls home and crosses the briny blue in Australia. Oh, she's out there somewhere in the fog. I can smell the kangaroos. :laugh:
What kind of socks do pirates wear?
Arrrrrgyle
Not many pirates in England nowadays. Ask an English woman if she can roll her Rs and she'll wiggle her bum.
Arrrrghhh - alas it is time for Seattle Girl to rain on ye pirates language day! The language of software piracy awash with litigation and anti-joy.
- Huh, what software license?
- My scribe jumped ship and we sent everything offshore for cost savings. Different copyright law there.
- Annual maintenance agreements throw a wrench into everything. Did someone misspell wrench earlier?
- Uh-oh, bad press for software piracy! Time we gets our PR fightin machine into gear... fire up the cannon! And the Nikon and the GoPro.
- A patch twice per week, ya got a prescription for that? Must be runnin Windows. Or is that an i-patch - then it's an Apple, matey
Whatever floats yer boat.
Wats the difference between a farmer and a pirate, farmers oh ahhh and pirates just ahh (me heartys)
The Pirate Code
Quote from: Maritime Piracy—The plundering, hijacking, or detention of a ship in international waters—has evolved over the centuries but remains a challenge to international law.
The pirate code grew out of the experience of most pirates in previous naval or merchant service under harsh conditions and even harsher commanders, which left an indelible impression and desire to create a more secure and equitable environment aboard ship.Pirate Code of ConductIn the second half of the 17th century, buccaneers began operating under a set of rules called the Chasse-Partie, or Charter Party, which for a season even held legal weight in the Jamaican court system. This code of conduct later grew into the Articles of Agreement (pirate's code), which basically explained the standard operating procedures for all pirates involved. To "go on the account" usually meant that a person signed the articles and was declaring their membership with a group of pirates.In the years before the founding of democratic nations, pirates were groups of violent men in rebellion against the restraints of harsh rule and society. The pirate code helped them to live under their unique social contracts. Although the goal was still to have the quickest route to riches and leisure as the tyrants they fled from, code elements such as: equality, rules and decisions by group vote, just punishments, and division of power, contributed to the framework upon which democracies would later be built.... Ain't that a pretty punch!Elements of the Pirate Articles / Pirate Code:- who was voted CAPTAIN, if the ship's owner was not among them to be in charge...
- which AREA to sail in search of fortune...
- the TERMS and conditions of service clearly stated...
- the DIVISION of plunder among crew members...
A pirate captain and possibly the quartermaster (whose powers equaled or surpassed those of the captain) might receive as much as two (sometimes up to five!) shares of the loot taken, while the master gunner, boatswain, and carpenter might receive 1 and 3/4 shares. All others would receive 1 share or less.
- INTOLERABLE behaviors, such as fighting, gambling, open flame
- PUNISHMENT or disciplines for broken rules
- COMPENSATION for disabling injuries such as loss of eye, hand, arm, or leg (losses of right hand or arm were compensated with more as more pirates were right-handed)
Each pirate would sign or make his mark and then swear an oath of honor while his hand was on either a Bible, crossed pistols or a human skull, or while sitting on a cannon. PunishmentsPunishments for breaking the pirate's code were always swift and rarely without exception, an attitude carried over from their previous time aboard a sailing vessel.The quartermaster would deliver the punishment determined by the captain or vote of the crew, which might be legs in irons, flogging, or keel hauling. More serious crimes were answered with marooning or death....Pirate Articles-Article One
Every man shall obey civil command; the captain shall have on full share and a half in all prizes. the Master, Carpenter, Boatswain, and Gunner shall have one share and quarter.
Article Two
If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any secret from the Company, he shall be marooned with one bottle of powder, one bottle of Water, one small Arm, and shot.
Article Three
If any Man shall steal any Thing in the Company, or game, to the value of a piece of Eight, he shall be Marooned or shot.
Article Four
If at any Time we should meet at another Marooner (that is, Pirate) that man shall sign his Articles without Consent of our Company, shall suffer such Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit.
Article Five
That man that shall strike another, whilst these Articles are in force, shall receive Moses's Law (that is 40 Stripes lacking one) on the bare Back. Honor Among Thieves : Captain Kidd, Henry Every, and the Pirate Democracy in the Indian Ocean
Article Six
That Man that shall snap his Arms, or smoak Tobacco in the Hold, without cap to his Pipe, or carry a candle lighted without lanthorn, shall suffer the same Punishment as in the former Article.
Article Seven
That Man that shall not keep his Arms clean, fit for an Engagement, or neglect his Business, shall be cut off from his Share, and suffer such other Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit.
Article Eight
If any man shall lose a joint in time of Engagement, shall have 400 Pieces of Eight: if a limb, 800.
Article Nine
If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer Death. [/size]
Arrgh! Note keyword there, open to interpretation, a 'prudent' woman!! Of course, Strumpets need not apply (
for protection that is)!!
How do you save a drowning pirate? with C P ARRRRRRRRR
I need time for that to sink in.
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The seaman asks, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies, "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off." "Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off." "Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate. "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?," the sailor asked incredulously. "Well," said the pirate, "it was my first day with my hook"

Bring me brown pants!
A red shirt and an eye patch maybe, but a brave buccaneer like you doesn't need brown pants.
Do I hear the moans and groans of pirate hangovers this morning?
Moni

What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday? "Aye, matey!"

The galley? Good, I could go for some lunch. What are they serving?
pieces of ate?
A pirate and his parrot were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a valiant battle. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, the pirate stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a Genie came forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving any thought to the matter the pirate blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into rum!" The Genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest rum ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of rum on the hull broke the stillness as the two considered their circumstances. The parrot looked disgustedly at the pirate and after a tension-filled moment spoke: "Now you've done it!! Now we're gonna have to pee in the boat."
