Inspired by Outside the Box's thread on Piracy ,Taddys Pirate Day, the recent Aaarrs! in Bedlam, and the 'are you a member of a club' thread, I propose a Bedlam Pirate Club.

Aaarr!

Who's in? Sign up mi hearties! (marking with an 'X' is optional)

(all ye who who read and not be pirates, ye can walk the plank! )

anyone?

I be up for it arrrrgggg, people are always calling me a plank, so I may be useful.

Arrr! thats the spirit!

Im hoping ye tiggers will join the crew too, what with he being a dab hand with the paddles.

__

Arghh mi net is slow today...pain in the arrrrrrrr

I am in the middle of divorcing an unfaithful Thai lying thief so I feel qualified to join the irate club.

BASTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDS....I'll join that one too.

I have scurvy and rickets from eating maggot-ridden ship's biscuits and salt pork. This must entitle me to be of a higher rank than other less qualified pirates. Erm,... aaarrrrrrrrrrrrr???

Didn't take long before someone tried to pull rank............

Didn't take long before someone tried to pull rank............

Mate, ok... "shipmate", someone needs to run a tight ship, and designate duties; walk the plank; scrub the decks; receive lashes; hoist the mizzen mast; etc. If every man jack pirate was allowed to do just what they jolly well liked, then we'll never get our hands on the bounty.

A firm hand is required on the tiller, me hearties! Else we all end up in Davy Jones' Locker. (That <deleted> from the Monkees).

A bit like when the careless Red pirate ship collided with the Blue pirate vessel. They were all Marooned,

That was " macarooned " and they were made on Blue Peter..................Jeeeeez, some pirates.

Traditionally pirate captains were elected by the crew, one of the first democracies of the modern era. The skipper could also be dismissed for shirking his responsibilities or getting lost at sea; a crew meeting would be called and a new captain elected.

An exception would have been privateers who weren't really pirates but privately owned warships with "letters of marque" allowing them to wage war on their country's enemies.

Avast behind..........

I goes ashore in search of grog for you scurvy lot, and there be talk of pullin' rank, sounds like mootney to me..... tharl be none o' that on the Good Ship Squeeky.

Back to yur posts....... yarrr.

Yours sincerely

Cap'n Shortbread.

Aye, it sounds like it be mutiny alright...

Eh, an who made you Cap'n! I be the Scot around these ere parts, if anyone should has dat der title of Cap'n Shortbread, should be me!

You knocky-kneed salt lickers can have yer boat, and scurvy, and diet of maggot-infested biscuits and salt pork.

I'll keep to dry land, and run the shops, brothels and pubs in the ports where ye will be spending yer ill-gained booty. And while yer out dodging cannonballs from the navy fleets, I'll be sitting in me well fortified and heavily armed fortress, enjoying all those ill-gotten gains that once were yours (and someone else's before that) !

It might be worthwhile to point out that ingesting large amounts of rum or port, coupled with a rotten meat-orientated diet, may lead to gout-related problems amongst the would-be corsairs and land-lubbing buccaneers in here.

Although the amputating of any painful, gout-inflamed extremities / limbs, such as arms or legs, and replacing with authentic wooden pegs or hooks will be looked on most favorably. Yo ho ho.

No thankie mateys I've garn right arf mucking about on wooden boats rolling arond on stormy seas trying to keep my back as to the wall to avoid the unwelcome attentions of Master Bates and his side kick Seaman Stains.

No, I've signed up with a real gentleman who goes by the name of mister G. Khan. All the fermented yak's milk I can drink and plenty of fresh air chasing totty around the rolling plains of Tibet.

OK all in the brig until yerrr sobah

enjoy
