**I have no idea what you’re talking about :sure: **
My work here is done.
So, National Talk Like A Pirate Day… Who thinks these things up, I wonder?
real-life pirates would be my guess… 
there are LOTS of wei- cool people out there who think this stuff up. take one of my sister’s friends for example, he ran a site that streamed videos of sock puppets through his webcam… these kinds of sites are what make the internet fun lol

**Arrrrh! Scurvy dog! Shiver me timbers! You there … hoist something! :sure: **
You have British pirates too? I guess that’s where most of the pirate game started. It’s late. Oh yeah, fell out of my chair again when I got to “you there… hoist something”. :sure: I was just picturing a british guy saying that. Funny stuff. You people kill me.
“You there, hoist something… Then get me a cup of tea, it’s freezing up here.” 
Very British pirates. :rock:
Arr me heartys! I be the scurviest sea dog that ever sailed these seas, arr! Avast, shiver me timbers, I shall be cutting ye scallywags into ribbons i shall, arr!
HOW TO TALK LIKE A PIRATE
Any pirate worth his salt needs to be able to talk the talk. To instantly become “pirate-like,” just add “arrr!” at the end of your sentence–it’s the one thing EVERY pirate says. Here are 10 more words any scoundrel-in-training must master:
AVAST: A nautical term meaning “What’s up?” or “What are you doing?”
Example: “Avast, me matey?”
PIECE OF EIGHT: Spanish silver coin, often cut into pieces to make change.
Example: “We be searching the high seas for Long John Silver’s lost Pieces of Eight.”
WALK THE PLANK: A dire punishment in which one must walk off a wooden board on the side of a ship and fall into the ocean.
Example: “The scurvy scoundrel stole me favorite pirate hat; I’m going to make him walk the plank!”
DOUBLOON: A gold coin minted by Spain or Spanish colonies, worth about seven weeks’ pay for an average sailor.
Example: “I’ll be saving my doubloons to buy me own pirate ship. Arrr!”
SHIVER ME TIMBERS!: An expression of surprise or fear.
Example: “Shiver me timbers! I just saw a ghost ship!”
SEA DOG: Experienced sailor.
Example: “Blackbeard is one famous sea dog.”
JOLLY ROGER: The pirate flag with its skull and crossbones.
Example: “After looting the island, we left our Jolly Roger behind, flying high in the sky.”
SCALLYWAG: Bad person.
Example: “Although Sir Francis Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, his fellow pirates thought he was quite a scallywag.”
SEA ROVER: Pirate ship.
Example: “Look! On the horizon, there be a dozen sea rovers heading this way!”
ME HEARTY: My friend.
Example: “Ahoy, me hearty, will ye be helping me look for buried treasure?”

No, in theory, the british were always the navy with their flashy ships and fancy wigs, chasing down the evil plunderers o’ the seven seas! strangely… pirates were generally american… [COLOR=silver]gotta tv and cinema ;)[/COLOR]
but yes, british pirates would be soooo cool! how about we commandeer a ship and set up a british pirates association (we’re british, we have to have an association ;)) then we can set sail for the high seas, taking the ideas of chivelry and proper tea-making to the lawless american sea bandits! Arrrr!
Anyone fancy walking the plank? “after you” “oh no, I insist” I:-)
a top idea Cap’n Anderson. Lets set sail right away, tally ho!
Then we can all sit down and enjoy some ginger beer. Spiffing idea wot?
Oh such splendiferous fun! What a gay day!
