The Seven Seas (me thinks, me map has skedaddled)

Avast Mateys,

Arrgh. Must I tell ye everything? Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Blimey, make those landlubbers walk the plank! Keep them 2 paces apart for Social Distancing! Harggh! And mind ye masks! We couldn’t have ye feeding the sharks in an unsafe manner! Next time they will Talk Like a Pirate! If there be a next time! They must outswim the sharks.

Step lively, lads! Keep harvesting those landlubbers! Let’s make the sharks fat and happy! This be my favorite day of the year! But how can I quaff rum with a mask? Curses! Now me eyepatch and mask have become tangled up like a labyrinth. Now where did I stash me pegleg? Me trusty cutlass? Me pistol?  

Do I hear men and women singing Anchors Aweigh? The Navy can’t be here! Lads, hoist high the mainsails. Higher, boys, higher, turn our ship around! Load the cannons! Fire a broadside! Send the Navy ship to the bottom of the sea! Polly, don’t dare desert me! I will fry ye, feathers and all.

Lads, finish off the Navy ship! Lads? Lads? Stay away from the lifeboats! What was in me rum? Me head is about to rot off. No more rum for me. I never learned to swim! Curses! Now, what was I doing? Oh, yes. I do cotton to me exclamation marks. And, it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Now be done with it!

The Seven Seas (I think, for we are wondrously lost)

 

Avast Mateys,

 

Arrgh. Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Landlubbers what ignore me warnings will receive a visit from me lads. Verily, they do love keelhauling those who fail to Talk Like a Pirate. Making ye walk the plank and feeding the fish is also a fine sport.

Lads, sail up the rivers if needs be! Those what show a landlubber mercy will join them in Davey Jones locker. I will aid me lads when I find me crutch. Me eyepatch. Me rapier. Me pistols. Oh, demon rum has messed me with me head. Do I not spy a Navy frigate flying the Stars and Stripes?

Lads, turn your guns around and fire a broadside! We fear not the U.S. Navy! Prepare to board their worm-infested vessels! How dare them play “Anchors Aweigh.” Polly, don’t you dare fly away. Lads, load the cannons with grapeshot! Lads? Lads? Where do ye be?

Polly, come back! Stay off that Navy ship! Me head is reeling. Now where is me rum? Why didn’t I learn to swim? Never you mind, I shall still deal with them what ignore Talk Like a Pirate Day.

 

Now be done with it!

Avast Mateys,

Arrgh, I have been scouring the Seven Seas in search of scalawags who ignored Talk Like a Pirate Day in 2012. Now it be 2013. Must I tell ye again what shall surely must happen if ye fail to heed me advice? I have a full crew and mark my words, we shall ferret out ye what fails to talk like a pirate. And me boys always deal cruelly with landlubbers.

Arrgh, I have already received reports of people foolish enough to ignore Talk Like a Pirate Day. Me thinks they like walking gang planks and feeding fish. Well, me boys takes a shine to feeding landlubbers to sharks.

While we’re close to land, I’ll have me lads fire a broadside at the shore. The ship is reeling in a circle. Another sea storm or too much grog? We’re about to dash on the rocks. Where is my crutch? And why did Polly fly off just when I needed her? One of you scalawags, hand me a cutlass!

Never you mind me wee problems. Talk Like a Pirate or there will be the devil for ye to pay. A cursed navy frigate just showed up. Grapeshot in the cannons! Boys, hoist the Jolly Roger up high and make the cowards quake! Then we shall finish Talk Like a Pirate Day.

 

And so be done with it!

Arrgh, must I remind you scalawags that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day? I have sailed the Seven Seas in search of pirate booty. Now it’s me duty to come back to dry land and make sure nobody ignores this fine day. I have thought long and hard for a punishment for them that ignores this day. How about if I sing “Ninety-nine men on a dead man’s chest” to ye over and over again? With or without rum, me voice is nothing to brag about. Ye landlubbers will regret not Talking Like a Pirate. Talk like a pirate while ye still can!
There is fog over the sea and all over me ship. Or has rum addled me brain and fogged me eyes again? I can’t see. I need more rum! I sent a couple of me lads up to the crow’s nest with spyglasses. Curses! The fog has lifted and navy frigates are approaching. Me lads, aim the cannons. Raise the sails high. We’ll sink the ships of war. Then we’ll make ye landlubbers swab the decks.
Somebody fill me tankard with strong rum. Don’t tarry! And find me peg leg. I have lost me tankard again. Keep firing the cannons! Me parrot has flown off and deserted me. Ahh, the likes of me has no use for cowards. Lads, don’t be afraid of those navy ships. Hoist the Jolly Roger to the yardarm and be quick about it! As soon as the navy ships are swimming with the fish, me and me boys will be after anyone who defies Talk Like a Pirate Day!

And so be done with it!
