Piratical Proverbs - Let's cross Zen with Arghhh

[Bluenose]

Never kick a fellow Pirate when he be down, 'nless he already teld ye where his treasure be burried an no one be wotchin, yarr!

[anthrobabe]

A wise and well brought up Pirate always wears clean underwear.
One never knows when a shipwreck will happen and then the rescue will think ye was broughts up in a sty.

[Opsa]

This is wonderful! It needs to be on one of our t-shirts!!!

[goat starer]

I thank you!  makes up for being called an ageist racist by the prejudice tests 

[DaveL]

'The pen may be mightier than the sword, but a cannon ball can give you a real headache.'

[Pachyderm]

Piracy is life made visible. And if you cannot pirate with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your ship and sit behind the bar of the pub and take alms of those who pirate with joy.

[DaveL]

'A young wench knows a potential pirate partner by the size of his mainsail, the cut of his jib and the use of his cannon.'

[Opsa]

Old wenches know that too, but are more forgiving if the jib is cut a bit on the paunchy side!

I loiks this one by Henry Miller (Bloke musta been a poirate):
"The aim of life is to live and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware."

[anthrobabe]

Pirates of the female persuasion do well by having a well adjusted clevage at all times.
It distracts the male pirates something fierce and leaves a lady free to pillage to her hearts content.

[Opsa]

Y'arrgghh! Oi foinds that just the act of adjusting it is more effective than havin' yer parrot dive-bomb 'em!

[DaveL]

Blessed be the art of decolletage. For the Playbilge reading Pirate would be most lost indeed without it.

Blessed be the decolletager (fullstop).

[Black Bart]

To eat too much Fish Head Stew is as bad as to eat too little.

[anthrobabe]

In all things-share and share alike. This might not apply if said all things are booty- then one might not need to share alike.

[Pachyderm]

As the zephyr blows, stay upwind of those who have consumed Stoo.

[Bluenose]

Diamonds may well be forever, but gold is for long enuff!
