I mean…Arrrgh!!

This thread be driving me nuts! Or maybe it be the wheel stickin’ out of me crotch! Yaaaarrrgh.

Free “Talking Like A Pirate” Lesson.

I came into work today calling everyone landlubber and matey. The newish paralegal did not like. Of course how was I to know she injured her eye and was wearing a pirate patch because the doctor prescribed it.

I gave her props for going over the top. It’s been a frosty day at work since then.

Talk like a pirate? Amatures.
I smell like a pirate.

You all think you’re goin wenchin? Watch out for the girl pirates!

If she couldn’t take an apology - or even an explanation - she’s not worth the bother. Most adults have understood if they were in the paralegal’s place.

Yeah, I thought it was freaking hilarious and laughed my ass off. And continued with the wenches, mateys, and landlubbers.

I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance
I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance
Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants
I want to sing and dance …

(The Pirate Song by Ray Stevens)

Oh, and today’s Irregular Webcomic.

Avast, now there be a bevy o’ saucy wenches, and no mistakin’! Yarrrr!
