Top 10 traits that show your new baby has great potential to be a Pirate

(10) When mom’s water broke, the baby yelled, “I sail with the tide!”

(9) When the doctor slapped your baby’s bottom, the baby slapped the doctor back and then grabbed the doctor’s head with the forceps.

( In the hospital nursery, your baby stole blankets and pacifiers from the other infants and then denied it.

(7) Other babies’ ankle bands say “Baby Girl” or “Baby Boy.” Your child’s says “Baby Pirate.”

(6) When the hospital photographer took a picture of your baby, your baby asked if it was for the “wanted posters.”

(5) You found your baby in the hospital cafeteria telling stories about his most recent voyage.

(4) Your physician asked, “Do hooks run in the family?”

(3) Your baby doesn’t have any teeth—just like most adult pirates.

(2) During labor, your spouse shouted things you thought only came out of the mouths of pirates.

(1) By the time your baby left the hospital, the doctors and nurses were calling him “Captain.”

Yo man where can I get that torrentz. I have sum kewl xvids and screener copies. I gots warez too.

A pirate walks into a bar & orders a drink. The bartender notices a ships wheel sticking out of the pirate's pants. He says to the Pirate, "Do you realize there's a ships wheel in your pants?"

The pirate says "Arrrrgh! It's Driving Me Nuts!"

Don't forget the new movie about Pirates:

It's Rated ARRRRGH!!




Old, Cheesy Jokes. But I still laugh at 'em!

I doubt my minuscule post count affords me this privilege...but

Bree winz!

Yeah Bree, that was...great (I think, as I open limewire)

But I have to add on the "who wins the thread on piracy issue"

...I'm about to give birth to a little girl (as many of you know I met my RL love on SL and I'm having his babay. pic: http://sl2rllove.blogspot.com/)

...and...because of a nickname for our little bub that stuck even before we knew the sex--the nickname coming from my boyfriends and my preoccupation with piracy (the SL and Pirates of the Burning Sea kind)--we're planning to name our RL baby "Pyrate Ruby Passell".

The reactions to this from my cool friends was absolute adoration, and from the "older generation" such as my mom was...well, they took some warming up to the idea.

I told them she can always go by Ruby, but with a name like Pyrate, she'll be guaranteed a life of advenure, or at least rememberance in a resume pile.

It is my hope that by doing this, she never becomes a Chartered Accountant.

Anybody that does have a comment on this I'm completely open to hear it!

If I could physically roll on the floor, I would have.

They're all Robert Newton, the ultimate pirate.

Some ideas for making some pirate gesture sounds.

Arrr shiver me timbers.... ☠

Ahoy maties. Have yeselves a mighty Friday.

Arrrrrrr

Most days are like all of the others,
Go to work, come back home, watch TV,
But, brother, if I had me druthers,
I'd chuck it and head out to sea,

For I dream of the skull and the crossbones,
I dream of the great day to come,
When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trade me computer for rum! ARRR!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
When laptops are benches God gave us fer wenches,
And a sail ain't a low price ta pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed,
We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we're sloshed! Yo ho....

Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello,
Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed",
Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow,
"AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!"

Ye can't keep this fun to yerself, I bet,
So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man!
We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet,
But a damn good retirement plan!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin'
And bein' polite is passe!
When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty
And let out a hearty YO HO!
And if this offends you, hold y'r breath as we sends you
Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho....

We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!"
Buy latte with pieces of eight
We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun
The loser, o' course, is worst mate!

When we hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er,
We fill 'em with loathing and fear,
We'll plunder and pillage each city and village,
Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer!

There ain't no computin' or morning commutin',
No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me,
No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin',
I'm knowin' the pull of the sea.

The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face
Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls,
I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon,
Verizon can hold all my calls!

To wear a red coat full o' buckles,
To earn a few duelling scars,
Well, at least we can get a few chuckles
By filling the office with ARRRs!

And maybe we'll never get closer,
Than watchin' 'em on the big screen,
So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow,
And every damn one in between!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
That time in September when sea dogs remember
That grown-ups still know how ta play!
When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy
And a soft-wear patch covers your eye,
Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs
And buccaneers all till we die!

So hoist up the mainsils and shut down your brain cells,
They only would get in the way,
Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party,
It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day!
