If anyone else can make sense of it this early in the morning...

What in the hell is Julio wearing on his head? And where did they get a parrot?

Yaaarrrr, matey. Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day! Cap'n Julio be wearing a Pirate Hat!

So that explains why I can't understand a word Doug's saying today... Not that I can usually when he's doing the computer thing, but there's a lot more "Arrr!" going on than usual.

If you call me a 'wench' again I'm sending George to keep you company for the rest of the day...

[identity profile] x-cypher.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yarr, George'll be me first mate, and we'll make the lot of you lubbers walk the plank!

Why is there such a thing as "Talk Like a Pirate" day? From what I know of history, pirates did not make good role models. Thieving, drinking, sleeping around with multiple women, dying of disease and gunshot wounds.

Although, I can see how saying "AVAST!" all day might be fun.

You've not met Pete and Remy yet, have you?

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I have not had that honor.

Are they pirates?

[identity profile] x-juggernaut.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't go thinking that being introduced to those two's an honor.

Pete and Remy ain't so much pirates as... men of formerly questionable moral integrity.

Though the idea of Pete Wisdom in an eyepatch is funny enough to keep me laughing for the rest of the day.

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that would make them reformed pirates.

Anyone in an eye patch is funny.
xp_daytripper: (laughing)

And there goes my tea, all over my screen...

YAAR! If ye spill yer grog, you have ta walk th' plank!
xp_daytripper: (silly)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-19 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have a plank. I have a desk. Can I walk the desk? I'm sure Doug will "Yaaar!" a lot behind me and poke me with a ruler, if that helps.

And now I have this urge to sing the "Pirates of the Accountant-Sea" song from Monty Python...

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You should! And I will sing with you!

Tricky considering I'm in New York in the office and you're at school. ;) How about we give them a chorus on Saturday's bus run, if you're coming into New York this week?

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's on my calendar for the rest of the year. "Saturday in New York. Never skip. Good for sanity."

You've so made my week. *grins* I love the smell of validation in the afternoon...

[identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
So long as validation doesn't smell like any of those weird things you used to mix up as "alternative herbal medicines".
xp_daytripper: (mischievous)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-19 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
If you thought they smelled bad, you should have tasted them... *snorts* The woman who taught me, mad old baggage by the name of Homily, she used to say if it didn't reek, it wasn't doing you any good.

These days there's definitely less stink in my life. Be nice if I could work something other than George the Happy Glow-Ball. Even if he is a hit at Silver. Which reminds me, you owe me a rain check for clubbing.

[identity profile] x-blink.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
IIRC Homily is a pirate wench named WISDOM. so she's almost a pirate!

does she do ballet too?
xp_daytripper: (confused)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-19 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
*blinks* You lost me there, Pixie. The Homily I know is a mad old Earth Mother type living somewhere in the Cotswolds these days. And definitely isn't a Wisdom.

And no ballet. She's more into that naked dancing to celebrate Spring and the rest of it.

[identity profile] x-blink.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought she was Pete's sister?
xp_daytripper: (headtilt)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-19 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd be ROMANY. Definitely not the same person.

And I don't think Rom does ballet either. ;)

[identity profile] x-blink.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Homily, Romany, potato potahto. ;) see my blonde roots?

Pete doing ballet in his rumpled suit, cigarette hanging out his mouth has just broken my brain all week. ALL WEEK! aaarrr!

Is that like the smell of coffee in the morning?
xp_daytripper: (tea cures all)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-19 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as I don't drink the coffee, yeah, it is. I'm English, we have tea running through our veins...

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-20 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I make some very good biscuits if your tea is lonely.
xp_daytripper: (hungry)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
I never turn down biscuits. :) Especially home made. Which reminds me, had a thought for Russian practice - I'll email you.

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I will deliver biscuits this coming Saturday then. They can keep your tea company in your stomach.
xp_daytripper: (bag of tricks)

*grins* You're my favourite bus-tripper, you realise...

I will cherish that title forever.

according to some, Nathan is a ninja. a really really tall, nonasian ninja.

NINJAS VS PIRATE SHOWDOWN!

yarrr!!!

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-20 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I do not think I want to see a showdown between the pirates (Remy and Pete) and the ninja (Nathan). Sounds painful, bloody, and stupid.

[identity profile] x-blink.livejournal.com 2006-09-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
oh GOD NO!!!!!

BAD! BAD! BAD!

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. Very, very bad.
xp_daytripper: (scared)

[personal profile] xp_daytripper 2006-09-20 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
'Bad' doesn't even begin to describe it...

[identity profile] x-wildchild.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Arrr, real pirates war scur'y dogs. (They had the scur'y too!) but fake pirates be fun. Today... tis' just about bein' goofy and I thought if I already had t' dress like a dork, I might as have fun with it.

And Julio's hat is awesome.

Talkin' like a pirate be hard thirsty work. Yaar. I need a cup of grog. Or water since this pirate thinks the grog smell like bilgewater.

[identity profile] x-molten.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...

That was brilliant. Julio's hat is brilliant. The gym uniforms are less brilliant. Whose idea was it to make them yellow and black? We look like bloated bees.

[identity profile] x-wallflower-.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I think the uniform looks alright. But I do like the pirate accoutrements. And the fact that I get to use accoutrements in a sentance is not the only reason I typed out this entire response...really. *grins* YARR!

[identity profile] x-wildchild.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Th' gym outfit looks good on lasses or wenches. Us manly pirates look like scurvy demented bumblebees in 't.

[identity profile] x-rictor.livejournal.com 2006-09-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye, that it 'tis.

Bow before me awesome hat!
