Gar! I want to be a pirate, anyone know of any good places to shop for ships with cannons and such. Plus I need a good eyepatch. Who wants to be on my crew?

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Yarr! I'll get me eye patch and parrot, and we'll join ye on yer ship! Arr har har!!

A good crew's hard to find. Fortunately, I'm a good captain, so your services aren't needed.

By the way.. Pirates don't shop. We pillage. Start by nicking the clothes you need. If you're able to get away with that, you might try finding a crew to join. Don't bother with ships, cannons or leadership just yet. You clearly need to learn a few things first.

I do! And you should try military surplus stores or something like that. There's a good chance they'd have cannons there.

i almost got the whole outfit. let me join your crew

make them! out of wood. the mythbusters had to wedge a heavy metal cork in the end to get it to blow up. it can shot a tenis ball over 500 yards.


arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

me and my friend ian were going to take up canoe-based piracy on this lake in the town we lived in. but then we realized that skinny-dipping hippies had very little of value to plunder.

How about I just attack your mom...in bed...Gar...give her my peg leg alrighty. :D

WEED! Jeez, must I think of everything?!? :rolleyes:

that was part of the original plan. unfortunately for us pirates, they had usually smoked it all by the time they got to the water. and nobody would take us seriously while we portaged our pirate canoe across the street.

How about I just attack your mom...in bed...Gar...give her my peg leg alrighty. :D

larrrrrl!

:headbang: Aye, Matey - if'n ye don't have yerself a good weapon, use yer fists or a rock or a heavy stick an' knock the crap outta some poor slob what gots a good weapon (sneak up on him first) an' take his.

Damn sissy wannabe pirates goin' fricken shoppin' fer weapons - bah!!

Ta be a good pirate (quality - not disposition) ye hafta be willing ta impravize an' use whatchya got nearby fer bludgonin' an' otherwise hurtin' them what gots whatchya wont. Ye canna just waltz up an' use yer pleases an' mother may I's (although if'n yer pointin' a fine blade or hand cannon at them that might still work) - ye hafta use brute force!! Beat th' CRAP outta them.

Sorry fer my rantin', but it's been a good while since I hadda beat crap outta someone & I get carried away.

Shur, I'll join yer crew! An' I'll beat crap outta anyone who says otherwise!

Aarrgh, I want to be a Pirate now too.

the jolly roger manifesto (http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/2006/06/the_jolly_roger.html)

I trust these truths be self-evident.

1. Rum be good. We nae sayin' sake be bilge swill, but any mouth that be praisin' sake is nae gulping rum. We just be sayin'. (Klonopin be a mighty fine thing too, but ye'd better not be givin' none to the coxswain whilst he sits the watch.)
2. We all be needin' more parrots, regardless o'race, creed, or preferred method o'killin'.
3. We be havin' no truck with pirates apologizin' for Ninja atrocities. Nae, no truck. We th' undersigned pledge that any scurvy bastard who e'er dreams o'truckin' with the Ninjamafascists be keelhauled and strung up on the mizzen mast.
4. There be no double standards in piracy. Though we be critical o' the piratical practice o'press-gangin', we be strenuously opposin' any implication that forceful recrutin' tactics be comparable to th' silent killin' o'whole families by throwin' stars.
5. Though the Royal Navy be bent on our destruction, we be brookin' no more scurrilous slurrin' o Her Majesty's Fleet. Every breath spent cursing the Rear Admiral's mother be one breath less to curse the Ninjihadis and their piratical apologists.
6. We, bein' pirates, be acutely cognizant o' the sorry history of apologism within the annals o' piracy. Progressive old salts like us be therefore resolved to maintain ye olde Critical Openness. Aboard our ships, any scurvy dog who be not open to criticism will kiss the gunner's daughter, and right quick.
7. Plunder be the new internationalism!
8. Arrr.
9. Relativism be for syphilitics, Ninjas, and landlubbers.
10. Messdeck lawyers walk the plank.

Well, if you weren't wearing your pirate outfits, then I'm not surprised no one took you seriously - sheesh! And were you flying a Jolly Roger? Or at least a black bandanna out your back pocket or something to strike fear into the hearts of stoned, naked hippies? Like maybe a DEA badge? Or a job application?

Ooh, can i be the 1st lieutenant?
Naw, I wanna be the Admiral of the Red, Commander of His Majesty Ships in the Caribbean, Sir Alfred Lord Fleckenstein, Order of the Knights of the Bath.

HMS Indestructfatigudeceivable
48 gun double deck frigate with 4 carronades and a marine complement of 150 men. 12 pounders.

(hmm. been reading hornblower too much. :D )

Damn you anglosaxon culture and its glorification of pirates...

Pirates were bandits, terrorists, murderers, rapists and monsters...

I guess I'll educate my kids to wear muslim costumes and say "Jihad!, I want to be an Osama Muhaidin!". It could work

WEED! Jeez, must I think of everything?!? :rolleyes:
haha :p

i'd so be a weed-pillaging canoe pirate! arr!! :D


(where's LP when you need him? ;))

My troop of Ninjas could kick your rag-tag crews ass anyday

So true. Ninjas are infinitely cooler and more dangerous than pirates.

Do you know why they're making films called 'Pirates of the Caribbean' instead of 'Ninjas of the Caribbean'? Because if they'd made a film about 'Ninjas of the Caribbean' within five minutes of the opening credits Orlando Bloom would have been impaled by a multitude of throwing knives and shurikens, Johnny Depp would have been cut to shreds, and Keira Knightley would be pregnant with little ninja babies. That's how cool ninjas are, they're related to Chuck Norris you know.

Gar! I want to be a pirate, anyone know of any good places to shop for ships with cannons and such. Plus I need a good eyepatch. Who wants to be on my crew?
Modern day pirates download torrents.

you dont need an eyepatch or any of that nonsens. all you need is to do to be a pirate is to illegelay srecord someone elses music and sell it.

and really, you should reconsider because doiung that will get you sent to jail in almist every country on this world.

Unless you're a but pirate looking for some booty.

Arrr!!!

Maybe in a hundred years or two, there'll be a similar culture of ... hmm... pirates vs ninjas vs jihadists. :p
I can't imagine the debates that would open up in a three way battle. Pirates vs Ninjas already blows my mind... ;)

Naw, being a ship's captain will allow you to have a direct hand in the catching of pirates. Being promoted to flag rank will mean that you will have to delegate. Not good.

i was going for the egalitarianism and such, but that too

Naw, being a ship's captain will allow you to have a direct hand in the catching of pirates. Being promoted to flag rank will mean that you will have to delegate. Not good.
yeah but flag rank has privileges:

1. delegate authority so you cant be blamed. hooray apathy!

2. being old and cranky and slapping the flag lt. on your boat around until he cries.

3. wearing a sweet uniform with medals and a fancy hat and gilded sword.

4. control the lives of captured pirates. if you caught them, i can decide ow they are . . . . eliminated.

5. wield hegemony over people you can just rid yourself of if they begin to irritate you.

Chances are, you probably already are a pirate... Do you download music/movies/files off the net?
