We sail at noon, come high tide. The Queen Arisol, finest ship you ever did see. There’ll be no debate here on that I tell ye.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

And prepare to weigh anchor, ya scurvy-addled swabs! I’ll be in the cap’ns quarters readyin’ the ropes for the keel haulin’ today. Set sail for Congress, and may hell itself put the wind in our sails!

I forgot about talk like a pirate day! Let the drinking begin!

A guy goes into a bar and the bartender is dressed like a pirate.
Peg Leg, Eye Patch and a Hook where the right hand should be.
After a few drinks he asks the bartender “How did you lose the leg?”
The bartender says “Arrghh, by a cannon ball on the Spanish Main”
So the guy asks ” How did you lose the hand?”
The bartender says “Arrghh, by a Spaniard’s cutlass”
So the guy asks ” How did you lose the eye?”
The bartender says “Arrghh, a sassy wench spit in me eye”
So the guy exclaims ” Her spit blinded you?!?”
The bartender says “Arrghh, no. I’d only ‘ad me ‘ook fer a couple o’ days”

Their fave restaurant is ARRRRRby’s.

Because they really know how to Arrrrrgue a point.

today, a band of highly-spirited pirates from a local talk radio station (WROW.com) are taking over the Village of Green Island, a small town next to Albany, NY. Plying up the Hudson River aboard their pirate ship, the Albany Aquaduck Amphibious Assault Vehicle, they will land at noon and meet up with the rest of their maties, intent on taking over Green Island as the first step towards reclaiming NYS from the bad pirates (Gov. Paterson and the NYS Senate malcontents).

What started as the talk show hosts’ joking around about wanting to do something dramatic about taking back NYS, has led to a unique NYS-focused “tea-party” event, complete with political and “joe taxpayer” speakers.

From the WROW website:

The NYS Senate not only made fools of themselves, but they are willing to make fools of the voters when they ask for you to re-elect them next year. Over a 6 week period, the New York State taxpayers lost tens of millions of dollars over a circus-like power struggle between the democrats and republicans..

We need to stand up and shout “ENOUGH!! YOU WORK FOR US!!! WE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE IT ANY LONGER!!!”

Join Steve and Jackie on September 19, 2009 at noon in Green Island at River Park for the “Recall Revolution” . Steve and Jackie will arrive on an Albany Aquaduck Amphibious Assault Vehicle at high noon and “invade” Green Island to the cheers of the residents of the Village. There will a surrendering of keys to the Village, a proclamation, speeches from various political figures and taxpayers. Assemblyman Jim Tedisco will be collecting signatures for the Recall petition he is proposing, which would give the citizens the opportunity to “throw the bums out”. The No New Tax Party and Primary Challenge will be there as well.

No longer will the citizens of this State enable an out of control government.

first mate aboard the Lady Enata Killer of the North. I be the swab that counts to eleven on a split thumb given me by a scurvy dogfish as third mate aboard the Arctic Albatross. Justice be served hot with a side of chips on my plate and my fill of ale that fine day.

Today we sail with Cap’n Polar Bear Beck for bigger quarry, lads. The rotten Acorn and her flea-bitten crew have sailed to the Americas for plunder! We sail to overtake and board her after she’s had her fill, liberate the treasure from her coffers, and scuttle her with all hands. Never has there been finer booty on the high seas, and it ours for the taking!

Are ye friends to the Captain, sea dogs, or be ye foes?

Me Master O’ The Galleon asts me to post this bit o’ scuttlebutt to share with ye. An not wantin’ to be keelhauled for disobeyin, this wench doth comply:

“Aaarrgg” of course has always been the good ol’ standby, but this year, in celebtation of the most accomplished pirates in history, we have some new pirate sayin’s to accompany the good ol’ Aaarrrg, (as Aaarrrg is a living and breathing statement, subject to change just as the winds blows!).

Aaaarrrrg,….“Deficit neutral she be”!!

Ahoy,…we be coming along side, flying the jolly government roger,..errrrr we be here to assist ya now!! Just trust me we says!!

Aye,..I know ye’ve plundered hard fur yeself, but it’s really best fer the whole crew that we split yer booty and make it all real fair like!

Avast,…I have me a health care treasure map drawn like no Sailor nor Wench hath ever seen, (because no man nor lass has really ever actually seen me “plan”).

Sooo as ta be paarfectly clear,…yee can tracks our spending,…every shilling of yar hard earned stimulus treasure,…arrrrg ok,…skip that one,….forget what me ever said that,…arrg.

Try these new pirate phrases on your friends, office workers, and family,…they’ll laugh and say,..”hey, I heard that on the news but they didn’t have the Pirate accent!”

— empty out “First Name” and “Last Name”, and put your full pirate name in “First Name”
— scroll down to the bottom and hit the “Update Profile” button
— now go back to the name section. Where you see “display name publicly as …” and select your pirate name

— save your profile again,

Yo-ho blow the Obamaman down. I just had to give it a try.

Who needs health care reform, just bury them at sea after ye lop off their heads and all.

Bush would of sunk our ship and sent us to a watery grave without a moment’s hesitation. But Obama sails de’ same flag iz us, an’ shares ‘ar moto: “lie, cheat, steal!”

He would not confirm that it was about ACORN.

I’m guessing it’s the Chicago Olympics bid. Now, that is a veritable swamp of potential corruption, and…

“President Barack Obama has long been known as an enthusiastic supporter of the Second City’s bid to host the 2016 Olympic games. Now we know how enthusiastic—the White House is sending its biggest guns to bat for Chicago: Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett.

The first lady and her old friend will travel together to the International Olympic Committee’s annual meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 2 to make the case for their hometown…”
