July 6th: PIRATES DAY

[U4ea]

Argh, me hearties! While I was on my unexpected (and thus unannounced) LoA, National Pirates Month occurred! To fix my grievous error, we are going to celebrate it, anyway!

 

So, we have a ship and we have a Captain (Kyn, btw...). Where are we sailing and why?

 

Also, let's make this fun and dress up!

 

This is my costume for this little trip:

 

[Auld Manriva]

OH!! It's OWN baby girl!...

 

Cap'n Riva

[Mystica]

ROFLMAO Riva, that's SO you!!!

 

 

*runs off to put on her costume*

 

 

[Guest Cealestis alDyren]

omg! Pirates!!! I LOVE pirates  :o lol, I've a total obsession with pirates :P

 

*Dresses up*

 

Here I am!

[Nynaeve]

 

Why is the rum gone!?!

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Torrie]

**Waves her hook around and sings a swashbuckleing song**

 

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Drink and the devil had done for the rest

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike

The bosun brained with a marlinspike

And cookey's throat was marked belike

It had been gripped by fingers ten;

And there they lay, all good dead men

Like break o'day in a boozing ken

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Fifteen men of the whole ship's list

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

The skipper lay with his nob in gore

Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore

And the scullion he was stabbed times four

And there they lay, and the soggy skies

Dripped down in up-staring eyes

In murk sunset and foul sunrise

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

Ten of the crew had the murder mark!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead

Or a yawing hole in a battered head

And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red

And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes

Looking up at paradise

All souls bound just contrawise

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Fifteen men of 'em good and true

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew,

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

 

 

 

There was chest on chest of Spanish gold

With a ton of plate in the middle hold

And the cabins riot of stuff untold,

And they lay there that took the plum

With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb

While we shared all by the rule of thumb,

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

More was seen through a sternlight screen...

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Chartings undoubt where a woman had been

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot

With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot

And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot

Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid

That dared the knife and took the blade

By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

Drink and the devil had done for the rest

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

 

We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight

With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight

And we heaved 'em over and out of sight,

With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell

Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

 

 

 

 

Sorry no pictures yet, I'm at work!

[Leane_Shariff]

[Torrie]

[Daruya]

[Mayleigh Aes Sedai]

Arg, it do b a fine crew,we'd b gathering here!!!!

[U4ea]

*grins* I just knew ya'll would jump all over this one!

 

Who would you like to be raiding for our resupply of Rum (thanks for bringing the first round, Leane! *grins*)? Think we can shanghai Sam and make off with his Org's stash?

[Auld Manriva]

Sam is hauled into Kin Central booking and his Ogier are informed (by some dangbody, I got 'im here) to bring ALL their rum to bail his quite stylishly accoutered self (for an Ogier) out of our Brig.

 

*note large furry feet and baggy clothing suitable for book toting. His large feathered hair ears are hidden by the hood of his riding cloak

[Samuraiflip05]

 

WTF!!  Getting up to appropriate mischief I see.  :P

 

BTW, there isn't any rum at the Ogier...although we do have a fine assortment of flavored ale's. 

[Mystica]

*swings down from the mast and grabs herself a Manny pin* MINE! ;D

 

never gave me one, so leave me no choice but to steal one, Pirate Style. :P

[Guest Cealestis alDyren]

I have to say we are quite the sexay bunchc of pirates  ;D

[Nynaeve]

yeah... and apparently I'm blond!

 

 

Nyn

[Auld Manriva]

ummm.... should I? or shu'dn I?  8) .... Oh I shud...I shud! ... Nyn my sweet, I never noticed. Distracted possibly ;D

[Mystica]

LMAO she counts on that, Riva!

[Nynaeve]

Maybe it's cause your monkey's eye is covered with some goo? :P

 

 

 

Nyn

[Auld Manriva]

Hmmm.. Goo? No, my dear.. That's the 3 stooges in his eye, my cosmik sign so to speak.. M'thinks I might have to publish the story of the Silver Ter'angreal Monkey Head Tattoo someplace around here sometime soon...

 

I will however right now send a small sample of Mr. Zappa's inspirational tome from which I've borrowed liberally over the past 30 odd years or so.

 

From Cosmik Debris ~ Frank Zappa

 

.........The mystery man got nervous

And he fidget around a bit

He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe

And he whipped out a shaving kit

Now I thought it was a razor

And a can of foaming goo

But he told me right then when the top popped open

There was nothin his box wont do

With the oil of aphrodite, and the dust of the grand wazoo

He said you might not believe this, little fella

But it'll cure your asthma too

 

And I said look here brother

Who you jivin' with that cosmik debris?

Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway?

Look here brother, don't you waste your time on me ....

[U4ea]

So, is Ale enough of a reason to go pirating the Ogier or should we set our sights elsewhere?

[Samuraiflip05]

Swing on by, a good pirate invasion should be fun.  ;D
