Avast, ye mateys!
Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! If you don’t believe me, check out TalkLikeaPirate.com. (See, I don’t (always) make this stuff up. :pirate: )
I have to admit, I was a little worried we’d miss being able to celebrate such a noble holiday this year, but now that The Dungeon is once again firmly under the point of Captain Mistress Heidi’s dagger & cutlass-sharp boot heel, we can get back to partying like it’s 1799.
So first, I offer ye scalawags a boon from me very own vast treasure chest. The first five privateers willing to walk the plank & throw themselves into the spirit of talking like an extra on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean *snicker* will receive a
simply awesome skull & crossbones eye patch. Just like the one Captain Mistress Heidi wears when she’s weary of looking at her sorry shipmates. :ZZZ: (If only they made such cute earplugs, too, huh?)
Bonus points go to any sailor(ette) willing to share a daguerrotype (that would be an old-fashioned photograph) of themselves dressed in pirate garb. For that, Captain Mistress Heidi will dig even deeper into her booty box (yeah, yeah, you heard me) for yet another fun pirated—I mean pirate—prize.
Second, I offer you a galleon of inspiration that might just get you talking like a pirate, whether you want to or not. Or, as Captain Mistress Heidi calls it, booty of another sort. :pirate:
Let the aargh-ing begin!






















Arrgh! “Where’s t’ captain? There’s a storm about t’ hit.”
Arrgggg…how i’d like to lay me hands on some of that bootie!!!! Avast matey and shiver me timber!! (specially the 1st ones timber!!) :pirate:
[Right now my timbers are shivering because I'm trying not to be nervous about my job interview tomorrow. *Keeping my fingers crossed*.]
i’ll cross mine too and you’ll be fine Dee!!! :fingersxd:
Thanks!
crossing my fingers for you too!!
Thanks, Laura!
Good luck, Dee! I’m sure you’ll be great & it will go really well. You’ve got the whole Dungeon rooting for you. And if they don’t hire you, we’ll send Mistress Heidi after them with her whip. :zombiekiller: (Okay, that’s a gun, but it’s as close as I can get right now. *g*
Thanks, Heidi!
Yo,ho ho ho and a bottle of rum. [To do body shots off the pirates' chests?]
Ahoy all, tis’ a fine day t’ sail. me need me some money and I want t’ find a treasure Aye.
Ahoy, mateys! And a fine day it ’tis here in The Dungeon. (Which has of course been transformed into a mighty galleon for one day only. :pirate: )
It’s proud I am to see ye getting into the spirit of things. I’m watching a wee bit o’ The Count of Monte Cristo (hey, there are pirate scenes!) & singing the Spongebob song meself.
And also, I’m laughing me arse off at Privateer Hollie’s “shiver me timber” remark. I wouldn’t mind shiverin’ the timber o’ one of those fine lads meself. Or Count’s Jim Caviezel, either. :beauty:
I am not even gonna try. I suck at talking like a pirate. You guys crack me up though. Thanks for the laugh, Heidi and Dungeonettes. I really needed one. I love pirate booty, btw…LOL!!!
Peace and love,
Paula R.
Oh, come on, Paula, you can do it! At least say, “Aargh!” :pirate:
And I’m all for pirate booty, too…just not *this* pirate booty: http://media.photobucket.com/image/pirate%20booty/nogg/NoggBooty.jpg?o=89

Okay…just for you, one before I go to sleep. Ahoy matey….aarrgghhh!!! That pirate booty is not worth it at all. Now the ones you have here today on the other hand are definitely worthy.
Peace and love,
Paula R.
Yo ho ho, she did it, laddies! Good job, Paula. Now we don’t have to make ye walk the plank. :sweat:
