Okay... It's International Talk Like A Pirate Day

Not really sure how this works, but this plugin takes plaintext and turns it into pirate talk.

It sounds sort of fun... in theory. But then again, so did Joe Millioniare II.

But if your timbers need a shiverin' (and let's face it, whose don't?), then by all means, go ahead.

Thanks to Ultron for the tip.

Maybe... "Talk Like a Paul Anka Pirate" would better suit this site.

Aye, and when I fix meself to a-movin', I slice like a scurvy hammer. The mates get blouses and pantaloons!

I don't think I want to install this on my work machine so can somebody tell me how you would say "Michael, blow me" in pirate talk?

Naargh! Yer be given' me full value mateys or ye be feedin' the sharks! I be the only importan' one on the deck, me shwabies!

"Hello" usually works for me.

Posted by: ace on September 19, 2005 01:25 PM

No Ace, in Pirate not normal everyday conversation.

Narrgh, Mikey matey, shiver me timber like a good whore.

AAAAaaaaaaarggggh!

lol! Of course. What was I thinking?

Posted by: BrewFan on September 19, 2005 01:27 PM

Um, I LIKED Joe Millionaire II. It was like Plan 9 from Outer Space, only with 100% more Euro-skank goodness.

Posted by: The Atom Bomb of Loving Kindness on September 19, 2005 01:28 PM

Yarr, I be the dread pirate Steve! Garrr! Joe's be the only place for me!

rinkworks.com has a dialectizer that will translate text or even websites to Jive, Redneck, Cockney, Swedish Chef and a few others.
The Book-a-minute is pretty good too.

From some undergroundy-type '70s comic that I'll attempt here to dredge up from memory:

Pirate 1: How old are ye mate?
Pirate 2: Old enough to quaff cup after cup of this here grog!
Pirate 1: Just tryin' to strike some gentle conversation. Mind if I fondle your tool?
Pirate 2: It's ungodly big, wanna see it?
{Aforementioned tool is flopped out}
Pirate 1: By thunder, what a whopper!
Pirate 2: Biggest on board this here ship. When I pop it fills buckets. Want a taste?
Pirate 1: Don't mind if I do.
{draws his sword and lops it off at the root}
Snikt!!
Pirate 2: Ugghh!!
Pirate 1: The head tastes best!

The risk I take sharing humor from an MIT frat.

Posted by: geoff on September 19, 2005 01:53 PM

Damn... MIT humor, that's too sophisticated for someone from utexas.

Posted by: canuck on September 19, 2005 01:58 PM

MIT humor, that's too sophisticated for someone from utexas.

Not so much sophisticated as completely whacked-out quirky and usually impenetrable by the better-adjusted masses.

Posted by: geoff on September 19, 2005 02:00 PM

Geoff, the "artist" for that little masterpiece was S. Clay Wilson. I remember seeing that circulating around my school when I was in fifth grade, which probably explains a lot about the subsequent development of my personality.

Posted by: utron on September 19, 2005 02:03 PM

Thanks utron, both for the catch and reassuring me that it wasn't monsters from the Id.

Posted by: geoff on September 19, 2005 02:08 PM

Don't know exactly but have a feeling that Thar she blows would have to fit in there somewhere.

I think they're using the Pirate Keyboard you linked a while back, Ace.

{draws his sword and lops it off at the root}

This is incorrect. If I remember correctly, the, uh, member was lopped off just back of the tip.

I can't believe I know this stuff. Zap Comics. S. Clay Wilson. Cap'n Pissgums and His Pervert Pirates. The shame of my misspent youth. Wilson was probably the most perverse illustrator of the lot. He had another character named The Checkered Demon who pretty twisted, too. I wonder what Mr. Wilson's been up to lately. Or maybe I don't want to know...

Arrr!

Posted by: OregonMuse on September 19, 2005 04:42 PM

Thanks, guys. The last thing I need to be doing is looking up useless information on the Internet.

But of course I had to check up on his S. Clay Wilson person that you old geeks are mentioning.

Well, I learned something today.

Posted by: Bart on September 19, 2005 04:54 PM

Arr,Matey

Posted by: ArrMatey on September 19, 2005 04:57 PM

Continued

Wilson is an interesting character.
Yes, he is still alive at age 64. Wilson lives in San Francisco.

Here's a link of Wilson getting interviewed by someone convinced that S. Clay is an artiste of the avant garde sort.

Bart:

S. Clay Wilson was a contemporary of R. Crumb - if you haven't heard of him or of Vaughn Bode, run, don't walk to an underground comics shop and treat yourself.

Posted by: geoff on September 20, 2005 03:08 AM

Geez, what a bunch of boomers. I cannot believe I'm here at Ace's and people are discussing the alternative comic artists of my youth, very weird.

I could never stand Wilson, too disgusting. Bode OTOH drew some excellent and depressing sci-fi books.

Posted by: vonKreedon on September 20, 2005 10:15 AM

Vaughn Bode hanged himself, didn't he? Possibly accidentally, if I recall correctly, in an auto-erotic rope harness gone horribly wrong.

I traded an email recently with M.K. Brown (warning: website plays an annoying sound effect), my favorite underground artist of the period. She has a terribly small output for somebody who was around for so long, though she had a near miss shot at fame: Doctor N!Godatu was the other animated series that ran on the Tracy Ullman show.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
