Hmmm wonder what probity means in Pirate?!?!
Goes in a deep trance to speak to the ancestors....
Okay. "probity" in pirate means "It is likely, but I won't commit to saying it is definate."

where is the butter?
I can't live without butter.
Please pass the butter.

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.


I've got plenty.  Let'r rip.

Arrgh it be that evil scheming blaggard Black Spot. I as ad to change me name and go on ter another site but still the varmint tracks me down.  What be the chances that Black Bart will join up and have 1000 postings by teatime.
Today everything is different; there's no action, have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food, right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody, get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

YArrrrrr...(does that count as chanting?)

It's nice to see all the scurvy dogs making their way over here. Oi's be keen to see Black Bart will be over 'ere too.

Oi'll be looking for a nice monk with an eye patch avatar to replace me Pirate Boy Band one.

Wow that's so Zen!!  ;D

YArrrr...it be truly charitable of youse monks to share yer humble monastery with us. We'll be putting a large slice of treasure in yer charity box. You'll be able to build a king size squiddly tank with the dubloons we's be given yers.

Keeping the lads away from Fif's might be a hard one to enforce though.

Opsa

Y'aaarrrgghhhh, just wanting to chime in on the welcomes to the pirates.

Everyone is welcome in our sanctuary, as is the case with any good monastery. We won't ask the pirates to be monks, however if any want to be, they're welcome to apply, once we figure out how to set that up. Otherwise, all we ask is that the other place (which I'll not mention) be mentioned as little as possible, so as not to cause bad feelings between the sites.

The monastery was begun by a few who met over there and began to grow in another direction from there. Now we've outgrown them and would  like to move along with no hard feelings. Some people here choose to be in both places, and that's fine. Peaceful communication is the Toadfish ideal. Humbleness is a method we've found that works well.

I joined TOP* because the pirates were so entertaining. Then I stayed for the politics. I would have added a lot to the pirate threads except I find typing in in a consistent piratical way to be difficult. I do enjoy their colorful stories.

Teripie - write yer Pirate in plain speak then copy paste it into the Pirate translator and copy and paste it back here.


Fer example, Oi ran the above threw that ther translator wot gives:

The pirate speaks,"Teripie - write yer Pirate in plain speak then copy paste it into t' Pirate translator and copy and paste it aft here"

See, yer know it makes sense.
