| Talk Like a Pirate Day
It's tommorrow. www.talklikeapirate.com
I'm going to be dressing up for school. I realize that some of you have jobs and/or self respect, so I don't expect the same, but you should all put in SOME effort.

| We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.
We're rascals, scoundrels, villans and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs!
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Aye! But we're loved by our mommies and dads!
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

| Apparently I'm supposed to be speaking like a pirate when I teach my 7-10 year old beginning fencers tomorrow night. Any suggestions?
I half expect our youth director to turn up in full pirate regalia...but I'd rather have Johnny Depp turn up

Who wouldn't want Johnny Depp to turn up at their fencing practice?

| I think we've hijacked this thread. It shall now be known as the "We Love Johnny Depp" thread.

Hey - if I don't wash (what's left of) my hair and let my whiskers grow out badly, will that make me attractive?

| I'm soRRRRrry, somehow we've turned the bizarre battle of the f.net wenches thread into a pirate-talking thread. Arrrrrr. I should've stuck with the ninja assassins - they're quieter.
Maybe I'll go and download some bootleg music now to celebrate the day.

You probably have it too. Just ask your wife.  | |
