"Come on up and see me urchins"




I love pirates

I am excited.
Talk like a pirate day in my residence hall is going to be most amusing.

*Sings the official Talk Like a Pirate Theme Song*

Most days are like all of the others,
Go to work, come back home, watch TV,
But, brother, if Ba had his druthers,
He'd chuck it and head out to sea,

For he dreams of the skull and the crossbones,
He dreams of the great day to come,
When he dumps the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trades his computer for rum! ARRR!

T' Ba,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
When laptops are benches Ba gave 'em fer wenches,
And a sail ain't a low price ta pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed,
They'll abandon their cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till they're sloshed! Yo ho....

Don't pick up the phone and say "Hello,
Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed",
They scrunch up their face and they bellow,
"AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!"

They can't keep this fun to themselves, Ba bets,
So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man!
They ain't got much grasp of the alphabet,
But a damn good retirement plan!

T' Ba,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin'
And bein' polite is passe!
When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty
And let out a hearty YO HO!
And if this offends 'em, hold their breath as they sends 'em
Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho....

They'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!"
Buy latte with pieces of eight
They'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun
The loser, o' course, is worst mate!

When they hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er,
They fill 'em with loathing and fear,
They'll plunder and pillage each city and village,
Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer!

There ain't no computin' or morning commutin',
No "Parking Lot Full" signs for He,
No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin',
Ba's knowin' the pull of the sea.

The fresh salty brace of the wind on Ba's face
Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls,
He's keepin' his eyes on the distant horizon,
Verizon can hold all his calls!

To wear a red coat full o' buckles,
To earn a few duelling scars,
Well, at least they can get a few chuckles
By filling the office with ARRRs!

And maybe they'll never get closer,
Than watchin' 'em on the big screen,
So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow,
And every damn one in between!

T' Ba,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
That time in September when sea dogs remember
That grown-ups still know how ta play!
When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy
And a soft-wear patch covers your eye,
Ta hell with their jobs, for one day they're all swabs
And buccaneers all till they die!

So hoist up the mainsils and shut down their brain cells,
They only would get in the way,
Avast there, Ba's hearty, they're havin' a party,
It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day!

Yes. Yes they do. In Minnesota you can only get 3.2 beer, but in most other states Wal Mart sells good ol' full strength and even has a moderate liquor selection.

What? It's my business to know these things.

yes but American full-strength is the equivalent of a light beer for everyone else... Explaining Australians reputation for drinking.

The state I live in doesn't regulate alcohol sales, so you can buy a slab of beer from the local fish and chip shop. Its great
