ARGH!

[greenmouse]

As a tall ship sailor, this is a public service announcement for ALL of you wishing to talk like a pirate:

Avast means stop -- hold your line, don't drop it, but stop hauling or easing. It is a nautical term, not a generic pirate word.

You haul sails, you don't hoist them

Well missy,

what about SPACE PIRATES?!!

:-D

Sorry I haven't been a great correspondent, but HI CASSIE!!

[greenmouse]

HI WREN! :) I do not know about SPACE PIRATES. I assume that they misuse nautical terms because they are not, in fact, on the water. And that is okay. Do you like the update e-mails? Hope things are going well for you!

But of course! :-D I wasn't picking on anyone in specific, do not feel grouchy.

I'm sad that I didn't realize it was Pirate Day. If I had known, I would've worn an eye patch to work. *pout*

[greenmouse]

Awwww, eyepatch! :-D

[aishitara]

I'm so sad that I missed you guys, by the way. :( I really wanted to hang out. But Faire is sucking away my soul.

"Tall ship sailors do not say "Yarrr!"" ...perhaps they should start. It's a good habit to get into :P

[greenmouse]

Yarrrrrrrrrrr! *grins, pounces*
