I always wanted to sail with a Buccaneer Crew out of Tortuga.

2. You been playing Sid Meier's "Pirates!" ?

[texas1928]

5. Nope

watching Pirates Of the Carribean.

13. That would'a been my guess!

I LOVE that movie. And not just because Johnny Depp is hot, though that helps, but the comedy is great!

15. It is a great movie.

and the comedy is not to over the top, but is very subtle.

8. Very cool game.

I haven't played it in a couple months at least, mainly because I got tired of going on the same sort of quests over and over again. I've been into the 'golden age of piracy' for quite a while and though the game isn't incredibly accurate in presentation, there are some very good details at the same time. It was great fun... for a while.

3. I tell you, mate, if every place was like this, no man would EVER

feel unwanted.

7. But all the Rums gone.

That is what I would be saying. And I would have used the pistol on her.

9. Pirate Joke

An able-bodied seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they they take turns recounting their adventures at sea. Noting the pirate's peg-leg, hook, and eye patch the seaman asks him, "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate replies "We was caught in a monster storm off the cape and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out a school of sharks appeared and one of 'em bit me leg off".

"Blimey!" said the seaman. "What about the hook"?

"Ahhhh...", mused the pirate, "We were boardin' a trader ship, pistols blastin' and swords swingin' this way and that. In the fracas me hand got chopped off."

"Zounds!", remarked the seaman. "And how came ye by the eye patch?"

"A scurvy seagull shat into me eye", answered the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?", the sailor asked incredulously.

"Well..." said the pirate, "...it was me first day with the hook, you see..."

I just knew someone would post it.

17. Excellent job on your post...

I could taste the salt spray in the telling! (Aarrgh)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

11. Oh heck I do that every day...

I live on a boat in the Keys and drink rum all the time. And pillage my husband's check book every chance I get!

[texas1928]

12. 21st century pirate.

Poor guy getting pillaged all the time.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

14. maybe the word was "plundered"

I get my pillages and plunders mixed up...

[texas1928]

16. No you pillage the account

and then plunder the shops.
