Top ten pick up lines - pirate style lol

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.
6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.
5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?
4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.
2. Well blow me down?
And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …
1. Prepare to be boarded.
What other weird and wonderful national days have you heard of?
Maybe we should petition for a national swinging day :lol:
Do you ever celebrate/follow them?

I knew :giggle:
As it happens, it's also my pirate-mad, now teenage daughters birthday, that it be!
I was up til two this morning sewing my coat, and strted on it again at 8, so I'm far from bloody jolly at the moment though confused

>>>>>Pledges to attempt to post in pirate speak for the rest of the day to get into practice for the weekend :thumbup:
Aaargh, that she does!

I was about to post this myself :thumbup:
Marie Curie Cancer Care are using International Talk Like a Pirate Day to raise funds. If you go to their website you can download all sorts of pirate ideas, games and a pirate dictionary.
How To Be Speakin' Pirate-Like
Startin' Rules
* Double up on all your adjectives and you'll be bountifully bombastic with your phrasing. Pirates never speak of "a big ship", they call it a "great, grand ship!" They never say never, they say "No nay ne'er!"
* Drop all your "g"'s when you speak and you'll get words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'". Dropping all of your "v"'s will get you words like "ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er".
* Instead of saying "I am", sailors say, "I be". Instead of saying "You are", sailors say, "You be". Instead of saying, "They are", sailors say, "They be". Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense!

Of course the easiest way to sound like a pirate is to consume a large quantity of rum. Works for the ones I know anyway! lol

Our Sales Director informed me of this International Day this morning.... He said that as the HR person for the company I should perhaps send an email out to all the employees asking everyone to speak like pirates for the day :shock: I told him that everyone already thinks I am loon

so sending an email like that would just get them all running for the phones to get the men to come and take me away ha ha :giggle:
Aaarrrgggg shivvverrrr me timbers dunno
