If Bush steals the election, what say we become pirates?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

There aren't enough pirates off the coasts of North America. We could form a pirate nation all along the coasts, and raid strong republican counties in our cool pirate ships. I'll take one of the Gulf Islands between BC and Washington State.
We could have land pirates as well, driving around in hybrid SUV's to confuse the hell out of the locals. We could buckle and swash Republican Party offices and suburban malls. Who's up for some piracy? All the cool kids'll be doing it.

[Fleshdancer]

1. Do I get to wear an eye patch?

I'll do it only if I can get the patch. :D

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Yeah. I'm going to wear a long velvet frockcoat and rent a parrot.

We're gonna be really fancy pirates.

[tigereye]

62. I might pay to see that Byron!

you can dress up with your little ones for Halloween... do they do that in Canada? That's better than the kilt and beret!

Buckle and swash. I myself do a great pirate imitation... I get to read all the pirate books in my house.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

69. Of course. I think Mari would be well up for it.

She loves pirates.

[MichaelHarris]

2. Aeyyyyyyy maties

lets do pirate radio from an island somewhere, you bring Ginger and Mary-Ann, I'll be the professor. For Gilligan I think ummm Mattcom?

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. Arrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Oh dear.

Did you catch the wee man in your zipper again?

[Taverner]

4. You just want to wear one of those Pirate Blouse thingys!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO WEAR PUFFY SLEEVES!

[tigereye]

63. you'd be a different sort of "Puffy"

oops that didn't sound quite right

[childslibrarian]

7. We be pirates

ARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

[curse10]

8. Remember! Sept. 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

We can start prepping then!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Arr. A land-lubbing scallywag like thar should be a-learning the talk.

[Ron Green]

42. Aye, but she's a comely wench. I've seen her likeness...

if not her like. Arrrrhh.

[baldguy]

[Union Thug]

11. Aye, Aye, Cap'n

Avast there ya scurvy dogs! We set sail at dawn!

[Chovexani]

12. Arrrr!

Dude, I'm so there. I want to be the saucy pirate wench that brooks no nonsense and keeps pieces of eight in her bosom.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. Hooray!

Would you yo-ho before or after the bottle of rum? Would it involve a dead man's chest?

[Chovexani]

15. Before *and* after!

And anybody that has a problem with it can go sleep in Davy Jones' Locker.

Arr!

[Mojambo]

14. If I can get a "no sodomy" guarantee

I'm there!

[curse10]

16. now that's no fun!

:P

[Chovexani]

18. The hell?

That's the best part of being a pirate, besides the stealing and the booze.

In fact when you combine sodomy with stealing and booze it's even more fun. Where's your sense of adventure? :P

[Screaming Lord Byron]

19. But the entire basis of naval life is Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.

Winston Churchill and The Pogues say so.

[eyesroll]

17. What would you do with a drunken sailor

What would you do with a drunken sailor
What would you do with a drunken sailor
Er-lie in the morning?

Can I shave his belly with a rusty razor?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. Put him in the locker with Norman Mailer

Put him in the locker with Norman Mailer
Put him in the locker with Norman Mailer
Er-lie in the morning.

[lazarus]

21. Pirates of the Underground?

Fates Warning, right?

"So you learn real hard, babe in the woods
Fight for your keep cause
Deep in the dark wolves rip at your
Heart as you lie asleep.
Endangered specie of the megahertz
Follow the yellow brick road, your
Asylum awaits you.
Sign on the dotted line.

Pirates of the underground, mutiny is in the air.
You're the wind in the sails mother ship
Drifters at sea remain to be, till
Land which speaks our tongue is found
n our way cut the tongues of dragons
Breathing fire
Ride the waves through the air down below
The mire.

Preacher man spins backward secret messages
What are you looking for? Something your
Subconscience can devise
Such a sin to disappoint your suspicion
Your force is ours there are no hidden lies

Tuned out in neutral vegetation, prime time
Bleeding hearts howl at the moon.
Foul temptress, oh she sings seduction,
As vultures feast forbidden fruit.
Live an abstract life in your hibernation.
A rude awakening for the underdog typhoon,
Set the thames on Fire.
Climb aboard this man of war
She'll take you far away
To a land of fantasy in your imagination."

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. See. A theme song for us! See how it all comes together?

I was just gonna go with The Pogues as a soundtrack, but that works.

[tigereye]

65. since Shane sounds like a really drunken...

Pirate.

[eyesroll]

27. Perfect!

That tape was in my car radio damn near constantly for a few weeks in high school.

I wanna know what's deep within...take me away, take me away...

[JohnKleeb]

23. Byron you ok?

Pirates seems a little weird.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. Well, if by weird you mean really fuckin' cool, then sure.

C'mon John. Don't you want to be a pirate? We can get you a three-cornered hat and a cutlass. Who doesn't want that?

[JohnKleeb]

29. I prefer to be a humbled drunkard

:D. I guess so, you have a point. Funny thing about booze though, we were discussing our favorite booze in chem class when the teacher was uot of the room, and wait pirates like booze! so maybe I will be one.

[eyesroll]

36. Ah! Then John shall be the drunken sailor.

I believe there's a lyric about the captain's daughter in there...

[JohnKleeb]

43. the captain's daughter better be my type

[IronLionZion]

72. The captain's daughter is Czech

[blondeatlast]

30. Aaaayyyyyy, John, me boy, thar be wenches, too, matey! nt

[JohnKleeb]

34. but I like preppy girls

:shrug: because I am a pseudo jock drunkard preppy nerd :D. hehe.

[blondeatlast]

35. Maybe we can get Catherine Lanpher to join us, too? nt

[JohnKleeb]

41. ahh whos she?

[blondeatlast]

44. Al Franken's cohost. nt

[JohnKleeb]

51. ahh old enough to be my mother then I think

I only get crushes on girls who are old enough to have the age relationship that me and my 14 year old brother have :D, kidding but I mostly do fall for slightly older people, all but once.

[Chovexani]

55. She was a great wench

Franken's pirate show was the best show ever. :)

[JohnKleeb]

59. Ive had sound problems with my comp all summer

and I dont get Air America here, weak.

[Chovexani]

60. Damn that sucks

I can't remember which date it was or else I'd download it off the archives. :(

It was funny as hell...Al was Captain Jewbeard, LOL

[blondeatlast]

61. Classic. nt

[blondeatlast]

25. Can I bring my cockatiel? I don't have a parrot. nt

[Screaming Lord Byron]

28. No problem. Any sort of coloured bird will do.

There's no governing authority on the legal use of avian aides while engaging in brigandry on the high seas. We are pirates after all.

[IronLionZion]

26. yeeaarrgh!

We best be lootin the Republicans on Sea Island, Fisher Island, and Juniper Island there matey! Old Jeb Bush can sleep with the fishes. Avast! But we best be leaving them land lubbers on Long Island alone eh.



how be yee likin this pirate booty?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

32. Now there's a real treasure chest. (badoomsh)

[eleny]

31. A-r-r-r-r-r!!! Can I be a Pirate of the Plaines?

We have no coast to speak of in Colorado.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

33. Sure. Land Pirates. You could use an airship.

That would rawk.

[lazarus]

37. I'm in San Diego

we could "requisition" a few ships o' the line.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

40. Luxury Buccaneering Ahoy!

I like the way you think.

[EstimatedProphet]

38. I'm good with a saber! I'm in!

Avast, ye scabrous dogs! Weigh anchor!

[Chovexani]

39. Okay, serious question.

Every pirate nation needs a den of inquity, some bawdy place to fence goods and dally with ladies (and men!) of questionable virtue.

I'd vote for Vegas, except it's all disneyfied now and it's nowhere near a coast.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

45. We could use Vancouver or Victoria on the west coast.

On the east coast, I'm not sure. One of the Keys? An island off the coast of the Carolinas? Oak Island off Nova Scotia, home of the famous pirate Money Pit?

[Chovexani]

57. Hmm an island of the Carolinas sounds good

It'd have to be somewhere close enough to Virginia Beach so we can make a killing off the repressed fundies.

[eyesroll]

47. My house is usually a den of inquity...what's a few more pirates?

I bet we could fit a black-market trading post in our basement and a still in our garage.

[blondeatlast]

48. San Clemente; beautiful, and comes with a shady, Nixonian past

uniquely its own.

[SarahB]

46. You will need wenches!

Give me your booty and I will serve you beer. :beer: :toast:

[eyesroll]

50. Give me your beer and I will serve you...

:evilgrin:

[SarahB]

56. Oooooh eyesroll!

You don't know how much I need....well, nevermind...you probably do know. :7

[blondeatlast]

52. Hey, I'm a wench and I want some booty--

oh, you mean THAT kind...

[SarahB]

54. I want all kinds.

:evilgrin:

[miss_kitty]

49. "If Bush steals the election, what say we become pirates?" arrrgh

Aye matey-iffn we can makes his scurvey arse WALK THE PLANK!

ARRRRRRRRRRGHH!

[Chovexani]

53. I like the way you think!

:evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

58. Arrrrrggghhhh, no, put his scurvy arse to WORK!

I'm happy to let the CARs walk the plank, however.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

64. OMG

that is the BEST idea I have heard in WEEKS. Damn straight, I'm up for it.

ARRRR, matey!!! Ahoy!!!

(Just practicing.)

[dolo amber]

66. I'll be a pirate...

But only if I get to talk like Bob and Doug MacKenzie...:D

"So like take off, ya scallywag...are you like some kind of scurvy hoser, eh?"

:7

[Screaming Lord Byron]

68. What? Would you have an ice ship filled with beer?

That might work.

[dolo amber]

71. Hold the mice, please

:7

[Chovexani]

70. Canadian pirates LOL

You'd have to act more like the trappers on Kids in the Hall though. You can harpoon Repukes and harvest their expensive suits!

[VOX]

67. Aye, that we'll be! Square away, and make sail for Port-au-Prince!

Or something like that. :toast:

[flvegan]

73. Aye, it's all about the bootie...

Bootie...just another word for pirate treasure. God, how I love bootie.

I'll wear my silver buckles and my tight, shiny pants. I want to sing and dance.
