Would HOT accept the Pirates?

[DaveL]

Guys, if I can persuade the others, with your permission, I think the others would make a fine additions to HOT. All good fellas and wonderful story tellers. If yes from both parties we will leave the old place for good.Whaddya say?

[beagle]

I'd certainly vote for them all anyway. Anyone who can run the London Marathon for charity, for example, certainly outdoes me on the altruism front.  Don't recall any of them picking a fight with, or flaming anyone (what sort of pirates are these?).
One for Darren and Sir F I suppose.  Make Black Bart promise to leave his cookbook behind though if all goes through.

N.B. not attempting to entice anyone away from the Venganza site. Personally I'd be proud to have them here whether or not they still use that site. 

[DaveL]

Thanks Beagle.

I don't want to lure them away if they are happy either. But you're right, I don't think we've ever fought...ever. We are a jolly bunch and the threads are always good value.

Right now those guys are the only thing keeping me there. But I've seriously had enough. Forget being a Mod...it's like working for Captain Barbossa.

I'll PM Griffin too...she knows them in person.

[Vita Curator]

I also would vote for your swarthy band of brothers.  Just ask Black Bart to not simmer his fish head stew whilst he is online, sometimes the odor makes me a little queasy. 

[Aggie]

AYE-AYE CAP'N DAVE!!! 

Oi miss the Pirates!  They've gone silent on Venganza as well.  They won't have the "mythology" link here, but that's hardly needed with those lads and wenches, as they've created their own.  If the Toadfish hold to the sea floor, the top o' waves be open for plunderin'!

[Calico Jack]

Hi Dave L it is Calico Jack formerly known as Walk the Plank.  If Prince can change his name then why not I.  Lets hope we can get the Pirate Board up and running here.  It might be worth checking that there is sufficient bandwidth before Black Bart joins up.

[beagle]

Welcome aboard the artist (type indeterminate) previously known as WalkThePlank.  Loads of people here have changed their names having run away to become pirates to forget.

The first thing they forgot was that it was supposed to be the Foreign Legion.

Black Bart's padded cabin is bein' prepared.

Arrrgggghh.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Yaaarrr... Welcome!

Oi'm very 'appy the pirates are accepted 'ere... But make sure bart leaves the stew behind. The cute squidlings are very sensitive...

[Sibling Chatty]

I miss the pirates.

That's the one part of that forum that I could always read strictly for enjoyment, thus generally the last one read on a full day's reading. The Pirates embody a unique view of individual libery and an uncommon position of equality and personal tolerance of differences.

YAAAARRRR, sez I, bring th' scallywags on!!

Dread Pirate Chatty!!

[Calico Jack]

I have not been on FSM for over a week but looking at it today without Dave L, Black Bart and The Black Spot most of the creativity on the Pirate Board has gone, though my infrequent ramblings will hardly be missed.  I have emailed Spot and Bart and I will phone Spot tonight and try and persuade him to join the revolution.

[The Meromorph]

I'd welcome the scurvy rascals, as long as they promise not to have rowdy parties inside my head... 

[beagle]

Aaaarrggh. That will teach you the dangers of keeping an open mind.*

Glad to see The Black Spot on the crew list (I did too meet Elvis in that East Grinstead Burger King).


(  *  Ok, that's unToadfish, but it's only a joke...)

[Outis the Unready]

HOT pirate love! As my son would say "w00t!"

[Aphos]

AARRRR, I say, AAARRRR, let come, but leave the cutlasses at the door.

[Griffin NoName]

Oi've bin wooryin mesel sick o'er them ther Pirates. Especially with a brand new case in the Scurvy Disciplinary Court which may need to be ruled inadmissable to preserve the probity of Pirate life.

Hmmm wonder what probity means in Pirate?!?!

I very much support Beagle's sentiment - not wanting to encourage anyone to desert Venagnaza but extending a warm welcome to anyone who is humble and wishes to visit here.

Pirates seem to me to be extensively humble. Goes with the territory. One has to be humble when faced with the Mighty Ocean.

We may need to make it clear to Black Bart that Toadfish heads are off limits.
