Being braindead, 'zany', student types, my friends and I have decided to have an honest to god Pirate night sometime soon. ARR-HARR!

Jonny Dean Martin would kick everyone's ass. While drunk.

Not everyone's. Frank would leave him dead in the fountain.
And No one fucked with Frank.
Humm
Mob, pirates or Ninja?

dammit. that john masefield poem happens to be one of my favourites ever, but right now i'd take sushi over beer. beer makes you fat and flatulent, and makes my psoriasis worse and my sinuses hurt, sushi makes me feel good and is ohhh-so-tasty.

but pirates have shanties. and a rowlocking good time.

hmmm...decisions, decisions.

wait. i bet japanese pirates had sushi. and seashanties. and eye patches from stray shurikens.

yay! ninja pirates can exist! we can start a whole new clan cult. woohoo! everyone will want to be one of us....

There's a problem with your statement there.

See, not all japanese people are ninjas. Thus, a japanse pirate would not be a ninja pirate.

not all, but some, i bet.

and even if not, i still say we should start the first ninja pirate scene. we're already trendsetters, after all..

You have read Rat Pack Confidential, haven't you? Frank fancied himself a mobster, but he was as big-league as a small furry ninja-dog that runs around making high-pitched barky squeaks.

Or something like that.

Dean Martin is so a pirate. So very much. A swingin' pirate.

It's Official: The Hoobs are Pirates. Anyone stupid enough to be up at half six this morning will have seen it for their own eyes - all three of 'em going "aaarr!" and running about in hats, trying to find the answer to the question: how does a pirate stop other pirates stealing hir treasure?

Hoob - noun; Hobo spelled wrong.

Damn straight. Sinatra couldn't even beat the Nevada Gaming Comission.

Dean was the only one who would stand up to Frank. It's a good thing they were buds. They would have torn Vegas apart with a war of who's cooler (Dean, in case you were wondering).

Hell yes, Dean Martin was a pirate. The best kind of pirate, in fact.

I believe Sammy Davis Jr was also a pirate. Sadly he could afford a glass eye instead of the awe inspiring patch that the debonair pirate of today wears..

Saki: Proper booze.



Grog: Horrible watered-down rum. With a lemon in it.

I trust this clears things up.

I think the lemon adds a bit of sophistication to the grog. As everybody knows, we pirates are a sophisticated lot.
 
 
Saint Keggers
19:07 / 12.05.02
Thats not grog!!!
Besides, we all know that true grog is served in steins. Or druk straight from the keg.

It is grog. And you are a big liar. A big lying piratey liar.
 
 
Trijhaos
19:35 / 12.05.02
It is served in steins. That's a picture of near-grog. Near-grog doesn't have the alcoholic content of real grog, thus the lemon.

I did a poll amongst my friends and family, and outside of my mother and one of my sisters, everyone wanted to know how there could even be this argument, cuz ninjas are that much fucking cooler than pirates.

22:22 / 12.05.02
Its simple really. Everybody who said ninjas are better than pirates are crazy.

Pirates have better fashion sense and better liquour. What else do you need?

You know, a poll amongst my friends and family revealed the exact opposite. All say "pirates!" without hesitation, which is a sure sign that I have the right friends and family.

But then, I live onboard a hi-jacked Spanish frigate off the coast of Jamaica, so maybe there was a certain bias at work..

There may be more vocal support for pirates on the board, but ninjas are the silent masses.

Pirates need to argue there better, where as ninjas just know.
 
 
Trijhaos
13:53 / 13.05.02
I don't know where you're getting this silent mass thing from. The majority of the support is for pirates and its not just because the pirates are the most vocal ones.

Ninjas need to stop falling back on that whole real ultimate power stuff. Pirate supporters give reasons for why pirates are better and what do the ninjas do. "Oh we have real ultimate power". Bah!

You know what? Pirates care. Ninjas don't give a rats ass. It's enough they're ninjas.

End of story.

If we have to go for clans, then I'll serve my time on Captain Edward Teach's poop deck.

Haharr! We've got Dean Martin on our side, as well as Dennis Mortimer, Lemmy, Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton and Rolf Harris! Haharrr for the hiiirsute!

Bring on the pussy foot clan, or whatever the ninja tribes are called. I'll fight you all, pissed, with a smashed pint pot in each hand, a cutlass in me belt and a blunderbuss shoved down me pantaloons!

"Is Barbelith really a pirate Isle? And why?"

i have thought some more, and come to the conclusion that it's all in the name.

ninja: "....."

pirate: "bARRRRbelith"


so there we go.

i'm a pirate with a nifty shuriken-throwing hand, though.

I'll fight you all, pissed, with a smashed pint pot in each hand, a cutlass in me belt and a blunderbuss shoved down me pantaloons!

Given that a) a blunderbuss is a trumpet-shaped weapon loaded from the muzzle with just about any crap you can shove down there, all of which will fall out into your pantaloons if you store the thing there, and b) they're somewhat notorious for exploding rather than firing, and c) they're over a meter long, and hence might rather impede your movement, particularly if you have a cutlass in your belt as well -

Any ninjas around (who obviously won't tell you who they are) would likely sit around and wait for you to fall into the water and get eaten by sharks, or explode.

What's that behind you?

And, as I believe I've mentioned in Books, I bought a book today called "Hunting Pirate Heaven", a travel book about this guy going round Madagascar looking for old pirate stuff. Arr!

Piracy never gets old. It just gets more intoxicated.

And old pirates never die, they just get pickled in a barrel of grog, thrown overboard and drift away into the sunset.
