8 firefinch 09.19.08 at 7:05 pm

My grandmother told me I’m related to Captain Kidd (Kidd was her grandmother’s maiden name). No pirates in recent generations of the family, though.

9 Trisha 09.19.08 at 7:11 pm

What is a Pirate’s favorite letter????

10 kar 09.19.08 at 7:11 pm

19 momof2kitties 09.19.08 at 7:27 pm

Oh, and Nom-Tom? About those Depends I asked you for the other day? I be needin’ ‘em again, sir. I thank ye kindly.

20 ThreeCatNight 09.19.08 at 7:27 pm

Arrggh! And who are ye callin’ a ’scurvy dog’, Capt’n Catt, when ye can’t even keep yer litter box neat? Why do ye thinks we call it ‘the Poop Deck’ anyways? Avast yer hide!

21 Boomer's Babysitter 09.19.08 at 7:33 pm

Ye ol’ human companion of the kitteh there, may be needin’ a hook to replace the soon-to-be chomped hand/foot/what-have-you when she gets her evil revenge. Just look at the eyes!! She’s plotting, I tell you!

22 CoffeeCup 09.19.08 at 7:36 pm

kar, methinks the jaunty angle of kitty’s hat is more due to the fact that kitty has a big head, and the hat probably only fit over one ear!

23 emo 09.19.08 at 7:37 pm

Check it out. If you like cats in outfits (today’s is pirate) this is the site for you:

Brwaack! Polly want a cracker? … Oh, wait. That’s for Talk Like a PARROT Day.

47 Captain Armaty Tharbegold Irabouts 09.19.08 at 9:44 pm

This whole idea is silly. I was educated at Oxford. The fact that I ocassionally forcibly commandeer goods from those I encounter at sea does not mean I am unable to speak properly.

[*snicker* - Ed.]

48 Dianna 09.19.08 at 9:50 pm

58 Juniper Jupiter 09.20.08 at 1:06 am

Oooo…sorry aboot that, Erebella!

Dr. Pepper is pretty harsh on the nosehairs, LOL!

As for Shadyman, it’s a good thing I WASN’T drinking any! That’s Pirate’s Gold right thar!!!LOL!!!

59 jenjen 09.20.08 at 2:51 am

You know it’s not just interNATIONAL talk like a pirate day. It’s actually interPLANETARY talk like a pirate day. I follow the Mars Phoenix probe on Twitter and today it reported in pirate-ese from MARRRRRRS. It was digging for treasure. I assume it was cute, but we’ll never know.

60 berthaservant 09.20.08 at 3:51 am

I wonder if in 300 years people will have “talk like a drug mule” day and dress their pets up as cartel bosses and armed mercenaries.

61 Aesthetica 09.20.08 at 6:21 am

What does a Dyslexic Pirate Say?

RRaaaaaaaaa!

62 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 09.20.08 at 7:47 am

OMG, those are CLASSIC! :D DD

63 PJ 09.20.08 at 8:00 am

Ahoy–I’da been here sooner but I was gettin’ me grog on. There’s a Pirate Festival here in Portland, so I get to be a pirate all weekend long. YAAAAAARRRR to that!

64 Katrina 09.20.08 at 10:44 am

Thank you Berthaservant.

65 darkshines 09.20.08 at 10:55 am

I have the best pirate joke ever,its a bit long, but worth it.

A pirate walks into a bar and the bar tender is delighted to see him. “Hey man, I haven’t seen you in a while WHOA…what happened to you?!” said the bar tender. “Whaddaya mean laddie?” says the pirate. “Well, when you left for sea a year ago, you were fine, now you’ve come back with a wooden leg, a hook for a hand, and an eye patch!”. “Well” said the pirate “you see, I was sailing around the Caribbean, and a spanish fleet started attacking us. A cannonball came, blew me leg clean off, so I had a wodden one put on”. “Wow” said the bartender, “thats pretty hardcore, so whats with the hook?”. “Well” said the pirate “I was chasing the great white whale, and the bugger jumped out of the sea, bit me hand clean off so I had a hook put on instead”. “Wow” said the bar tender “Wooden leg and a hook for a hand, so whats with the eye patch?”. “A seagull pooped in my eye” replied the pirate. The bartender looked shocked “I don’t believe that, a mighty pirate like you takes one poop to the eye and you need an EYEpatch?!”. “Aye” said the pirate, “well it was my first day with the hook!”.

*gets her coat and leaves*

66 momof2kitties 09.20.08 at 12:00 pm

ooohh… GROAN!!!!!!!

Good one, darkshines. Good one.

67 Gail (the first one) 09.20.08 at 3:54 pm

@darkshines: Good one!!!!!

My favorite pirate accessory I’ve seen is a Skull n’ Crossbones flag with the words “THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES”. I wish I’d bought it!!

68 berthaservant 09.20.08 at 4:27 pm

Darkshines — there’s a homeless man in Isla Vista (UCSB) called “The Pirate,” a friendly sort with an eyepatch and a shopping cart, who always tells that joke trying to get $$ from the students. Not a bad joke.

And Katrina, you’re welcome. Not trying to be a nuff, but it’s odd how we’ve mythologized and venerated murdering, raping criminals (not just pirates, but gangsters, gunslingers, used car salesmen, etc.)

69 Katrina 09.20.08 at 6:23 pm

I used to work with South East Asian refugees, and I read just today that the Gulf of Aman is filled with Somali pirates- so no, pirates aren’t funny. If that is nuffing, so be it.

70 Katrina 09.20.08 at 6:24 pm

Mind you, I have a 1984 beauty with low mileage…..

71 Tbone 09.21.08 at 8:02 pm

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! He’s KILLIN ME WITH HIS REDONKULOUS CUTENESS! I AM KILT FROM HIS CUTENESS! I CANNOT SURVIVE HIS HILARIOUS CUTENESS!

72 Totalee Puppy 09.22.08 at 11:42 am

Me and Tony-Pup wanted pirate hats to wear for Hallowe’en…Got them at the one-stop big pet shop.
Berthaservant, we are not
worthy…ARRRGH! (or is that Charlie Brown?) Our timbers have been shivered…the plankton awaits us…For Katrina:”For you are beautiful…and we have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell”…

73 Katrina 09.22.08 at 4:01 pm

UUmm, thanks, Totalee Puppy, that is very sweet. I just have a lot of life experience and some very strong opinions, oh, and I read a lot.

Hey, whenever you read this, have a great day!

74 Noelle 09.22.08 at 4:25 pm

Why is the rum always gone?

75 Lucas 09.22.08 at 7:16 pm

You’re the devil.
