Arr, mateys!

Ok, that made me laugh and I get the feeling I’m the only person here that hasn’t heard it before.

'Tis either the Filthy Whore or the Raging Queen, but I’ve quaffed so much rum I can’t be sure anymore, ye poxy doxy.

You’re probably right, ironically enough.

Arrggh… That’s what it was! Yesterday wandering through Melbourne CBD and a huge crowd of pirates wandered past (and later hung around Southbank shouting Argh! at random intervals). We thought it might have been to do with a sporting event, but the teams here aren’t the Pirates. Good to know!

'E keep a weather eye open for that one-legged seafaring man! Aargh!

Here’s another (one who hadn’t heard it).

Here’s another: “It’s yer turn in the barrel, matey!”

In the unlikely even someone hasn’t heard that one…

A lad put to sea in the days of Wooden Ships and Iron Men, on a two-year Journey of Exploration. As the ship sails, he notices there are no women aboard. Worried, he addresses the issue with the captain.

‘Sir, I… uh… just noticed that there are no women aboard.’

‘Yes?’ replied the Captain.

‘Well, sir, it’s just that we’ll be gone two years, and there are no women aboard!

‘Ah,’ said the Captain, ‘I catch your drift. Do you see that barrel sitting on the deck?’

‘Aye, Captain.’

‘And do you spy the bunghole in the side?’

‘Aye, Captain.’

'We use that, whenever the need arises. Go ahead, laddie. Giver ‘er a try right now.’

The greenhorn goes down to the deck and has his way with the bunghole in the barrel. Satisfied, he returns excitedly to the Captain.

‘Sir! That was fine! I’m going to do that every day!’

‘You can do it every day, but Thursday.’

‘Why not Thursday, sir?’ the lad asked, confused.

‘Thursday’s your day in the barrel!’

A pirate walks into a bar with a piece of paper towel on his head. The bartender asks, “What in the world is that?”.

The pirate says, “Arrgh, there be a Bounty on me head.”

But it takes a true bad-ass to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day to the end of the month.
Yarr!

You must be in the barrel, there’s an echo.
What’s a pirate’s favorite drink?
Wat-AARRR!

How’d you know…
