  14. I saw this pirate, he looked the part; peg leg, hook hand, eyepatch. I asked him how he came to be in such condition:

    “Well, this leg, shark got a piece of me when I fell out of a jolly-boat coming back from shore leave. The hook replaces a hand I lost to a cannon ball in a battle off the Dry Tortugas.”

    “And the eyepatch?”

    “First day with the hook”.

    YARR!!!

  16. There was a sea chanty that we used to sign all the time 35+ years ago during summer Boy Scout Camp. It was a wild sing, so here it is:

    Haul Away Joe -

    When I was a little lad
    And so my mother told me,
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
    That if I did not kiss the gals
    Me lips would all grow moldy.
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

    Way, haul away, the good ship is a-bolding,
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, the sheet is now a-flowing,
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

    King Louis was the king of France
    Before the revolution…
    But then he got his head cut off
    Which spoiled his constitution…

    Oh, once I had a German gal
    And she was fat and lazy…
    And now I have a Brooklyn gal,
    She damn near drives me crazy…
    Way, haul away, I’ll sing to you of Nancy…
    Way, haul away, she’s just my cut and fancy…

    Way, haul away, we’ll haul for better weather…
    Way, haul away, we’ll haul away, Joe!

  23. Blagojevich it’s Govern-Like-a-Pirate Day every day. Especially the plundering part.

    Comment by Bemac Wednesday, Sep 20, 06 @ 7:44 am

  24. Arrrrr. All pirates have hero’s- and the only suitable hero for good pirates- is Capt. Morgan. Arrrrrrr- that is good stuff! Helps me forget all the pain that the evil stow-away Blago has inflicted on us. If he were on my ship (the Capt Morgan ship)- he would be forced to walk the plank! Arrrrrrrrr!
