There are few “holidays” that I enjoy more than International Talk like a Pirate Day. Sure, Thanksgiving has wonderful family bonding, or fantastically entertaining family fights; Festivus has the airing of grievances and feats of strength; Independence Day celebrates the birth of our nation by blowing up small pieces of it; Groundhog Day celebrates the awe-inspiring meteorological prognostication skills of a large, overweight rodent. Despite all that, all the rich variety of celebration we have, nothing compares with talking like a pirate.
You might be thinking, “But wagonburner, I don’t know how to talk like a pirate.”
Hogwash. We all have a bit o’ the buccaneer in us. Our mates Cap’n Slappy and ol’ Chumbucket have provided us with a tutorial.
There are even pickup lines for you unattached pirates:
10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?
8. Come on up and see me urchins.
7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.
plus more!
You unattached pirettes are not left out:
10. What are YOU doing here?
9. Is that a belayin’ pin in yer britches, or are ye … (this one is never completed)
8. Come show me how ye bury yer treasure, lad!
7. So, tell me, why do they call ye, “Cap’n Feathersword?”
6. That’s quite a cutlass ye got thar, what ye need is a good scabbard!
plus more!
So hoist the tops’l, flog the whipping boy, grog yer parrot, and set sail for adventure!
Aarrr, Davey me lad, the questions be different fer the lady pirates. I think Hammy got one a them metrosexual names ye referred to:
#109 Iron Mary Cash, YES,Iron Mary! You of all pirates should know the answer to that. Think about it, my favorite color; Red, catch someone with my Gal, kill-um, tough, swashbuckling etc, MOST normal guys would be in the Bloody class as opposed to the “Metro Sexual” ones that would have been hung from the yardarms in the pirate days.… Read more »
The United Auto Workers union won $5,000 signing bonuses for its workers and a promise to reopen an assembly plant in Tennessee as part of its tentative new contract with General Motors, according to people briefed on the negotiations. In what is being viewed as a landmark deal, the union also preserved health care and pensions and improved profit-sharing for… Read more »
So here is what I think happened with Netflix’s recent price change (for the record, I have no inside data here, this is just an educated guess). Netflix has for the past several years been negotiating with Hollywood for the digital rights to stream movies and TV series as a single price subscription to users. Their first few deals were… Read more »

Crazy dawg!
I did wonder why most of youse men got “Bloody” names today. The pirate name quiz keys on your basic personality traits revealed by your selections in the quiz. Did half of youse say you like to eat raw meat or bite the heads off of guinea pigs?
Or rather, he used to be.
Katfish is a redhead.
‘Nuff said.

I’m on hiatus from politics but you sucked me back in, talking music.
Just lurking. Listening to music.
A steady diet of politics destroys brain cells and shrinks your Obama.
Have you checked out Pandora, Bones?
It’s free. No commercials.
“I’ve got two red-headed sisters. They’re pretty nice.”
Well duh. Having met you, your parents used all the ugly they had in one shot. There could not possibly be any left over for them.
I have a bro-in-law who used to play with a bluegrass band. I think they still play it on occasion, but more often they play some old rock-n-roll.
tt: There is just something about the banjo that won’t let me go. The hillbilly pure heart just seems to come out and it is beautiful. I was moved to tears several times yesterday listening to bluegrass gospel music. The pure, simple praise accompanied by really incredible musical skill was overwhelming. Try and listen to some bluegrass, it is delightfully… Read more »
Boney –
I’ve been using that online radio station for some time now. I listen to the old lounge type music late at night when I’m working. Stuff from the 30’s, 40’s, and such.
350 yards right down the middle!
going, going gone
who’s next?
the tee up. . . . . .

Let’s open up this can again: INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA is adopting a new policy regarding transgender athletes. The NCAA says athletes who have testosterone in their systems from medical treatment will not be allowed to compete against women’s teams in gender-specific sports at NCAA championships. They will be allowed, however, to compete against men. The exception is if a… Read more »

A perfect double entendre:>)
#84 Hamous: You have a dwarf doppelganger porn star?
I don’t have a doppelganger dwarf or pr0n or whatever; after me they broke the mold.
I think Ron Paul had something to do with this poll.
Isn’t everyone’s?
Aw, that’s only a problem if your dwarf is a porn star.
Just make sure you keep your dwarf doppelganger out of badger holes.
#81 I wonder how much “satellite” insurance will cost? The article said ifn we find a piece of it we can not sell it on ebay, as it remains govt property. Seeing as how we are the govt, and possession is at least 9/10s of the law I just wanna be able to sell my 9/10s of it.
Why did the pirate go to the Apple store? To buy an iPatch! (Aye Patch) Why did the pirate buy an eyepatch? Because he didn’t have enough money for an iPad!!! What’s a pirates favorite thing to do with a cell phone? Scan Q-ARRRR codes! How does a pirate get his mast up? He uses a wench! Why was the… Read more »
Giant space bus set to plummet to Earth this week.
We’re doomed.
The lib-VSRs are threatening to “primary” the foul “O”. Could not hae happened to a more deserving guy. The real hoot is this: “We need to put strong Democratic pressure on President Obama in the name of poor and working people,” said Cornel West, author and professor at Princeton University who has been highly critical of Mr. Obama’s tenure since… Read more »
Reply to No. 65 and No. 71: Yeah, I would like a good caption contest, just choose the picture and I’ll get to it as soon as I can.
#77 Ms Adee: We got so much rain this weekend that I could not cut the grass on Sunday! That is the first time this summer that has been the case.
Good afternoon Hamsters. Still doing the Snoopy Happy Dance this morning with more rain coming after 4 am, for a total of 1.1″ combined with yesterday. And it was 66 at 6–almost chilly. May we have another, Lord? How nice to be awakened by rain pattering on the roof and distant thunder rolling across the landscape. Does make you think… Read more »
More Obamanomics at hand.
It was a crappy job, but someone had to do it.
At the risk of repetitively repeating myself over and over again, I knew it was up there somewhere but I wanted it to get a fresh look.

Actually, it was more of a greased pig chase.
Walid Shoebat has authored a couple of books about Jihad and he speaks of the prophecy about the anti-christ rising after receiving a mortal head wound. In the description, he also speaks of the vision of the statue of many materials clay, bronze,etc in Daniel. The 4th beast would come and destroy everything; Islam destroys everything in its path. When… Read more »
#65 – keep yer pants on.
In this Chicago Tribune editorial, Steve Chapman thinks that Hitlery may be a better choice than the foul “O”. I find that to be laughable as there is no distinguishable difference in their political philosophies – they are both socialists/statists at heart. O-care is not much different than H-care that got defeated in the early 90’s. O-care is so bad… Read more »

Whatcha expect at a Day of Rage parade, Playboy Bunnies? (if they still even have those)
#61 Katfishy
The Day of Rage parade was more like a goat roping.
#56 Bloody Davy Roberts To be disillusioned you must first have illusions. Some of those who projected their own agendas onto the slogans and symbols of the Obama campaign were victims of wishful thinking — fed by Obama’s oratory of change. Anyone who paid attention while candidate Obama was helping President Bush pass the 2008 bank bailout should have understood… Read more »
