I challenge all Irregs...

**eGoatBoy** · 04-11-2007, 12:51 AM

...to best Axis of Eeevil in a 1 sentence duel of "Pirate Speak". Now, perhaps I don't have the authority to throw Axis into a challenge against y'all, but what the heck...I'm guessing he'll kick your sorry butts all around this forum. Anyway, onto the challenge:

Translate the sentence below into your best pirate speak. I will bribe Axis to do the same. A winner will be declared by a non-partisan judge (I will bribe a famous ex-Pirate to be the judge). Now, do understand that I have used the word 'bribe' a couple times already...which may suggest that this duel will be as fair as you'd expect on any pirate ship...but alas, all efforts at fairness (or at least apppearances of) will be maintained.

The sentence:

"Lead! Contact, north east, one infantry...err, correction! One bunny hopping smacktard on vacation from the land of Pub!"

Now, just so you all know what you are up against I present a couple samples of Axis' fierce ability:

"Aye, we had a bit O' fun the last Officers' crackerbarrel, and gathered up the blouses while ye were all belowdecks in yer bunks...a "wee" jest fer a faretheewell, mateys!"

"...Nay, don't bother ta put it on you pair o' struttin' popinjay coelocanths! Get yer sorry carcasses below deck and' get ta work cleanin' the bilges while we enjoy a celebratory extra ration of grog! We'll save you the backwash-swilled dregs of the bottle, mateys! AAAarrr hyar hyar hyaaargh! And I want to see my FACE in that brass trim, lilly-gills! Aye, that's them greenish lumps on the bowsprit rail...."

Good luck men!

Arrrrghhhhhhhhhh!

The sentence:

"Lead! Contact, north east, one infantry...err, correction! One bunny hopping smacktard on vacation from the land of Pub!"

"Cap'n! Starboard, ten paces o're the North, a jelly legg'd scallywag...Arrrrr...I be fool'd! There be a yellow-belli'd guppy. A sea-wyrm that walk'd the plank from the HMS-Pub!"

"Arrrrrgh, Cap'n there be a scallywag 45 degrees starboard! He be leaping about like a sword fish. Me thinks he be scared O' Sam Hoy's hook!"

On a related note, last year for Talk Like a Pirate Day I was SL in POE2 and told my squad that they had to start all VOIP traffic with "Avast!" and end with "ye mateys". Typical radio traffic:

"Avast! contact due north, ye mateys!"
"Avast! I'm down, uh oh yeah, ye mateys!"

I was laughing so hard through the entire round that I was even more ineffective than usual.

Arrgh...Cap'n, me Parrot spots one landlubber due north....arrrgh...belay that Capn'. Capn' me appologies, one Jack Tar hoppin' like a fish drownin', Capn' me thinks it may be the infamous ProjectNA! Arrgh...me parrot confirms that the Jack Tar be indeed a pubbie. Rasie the main, turn the guns, notifiy the crew we be boardin' that vessel.

"Ahoy! Dar's a wee rogue off da starboard bow! Nay...me eyes be playing tricks on me! It's a wretched drunken scoundrel that needs a good keel-hauling!!"

**Axis of Eeevil** · 04-12-2007, 03:44 AM

LOL! I just finally looked at this...Goatboy, ye were named fer yer father, but yer mammy must o' looked like one fer him ta drop his anchor in such a port.

I be waitin' ta hear thy bribery, an' right soon.

Hey evol- luv, why do ye look like ya mum was a pussy cat, was it because your pap was drunk and did da first ting he fond, O ya yar patch is fall'in off-ye mights want to pu it bak un before 't star's oozs agane you dirty bugger.

**Axis of Eeevil** · 04-17-2007, 05:12 PM

Alright, mateys, methinks it be time ta show ye how it's done...though ye're all as fine a bunch of illiterate-soundin' cutthroats as ever were born under a gun. Arhyar! An insult an' a compliment that be, if ye no' ken me meanin'!

"Lead! Contact, north east, one infantry...err, correction! One bunny hopping smacktard on vacation from the land of Pub!"

Man o' th' watch, action stations, sharply! Douse lantern! All eyes 45 o' th' north, we got us a Grabbie. Prepare ta come about! Battery, half-powder an grapeshot, every two! Bosun, me glass, and sharply! Battery, prepare ta make range...
What th' devil...Blarst my eyes an' ration my rum! Battery, belay! Stand down, ye pickled herring! The rub's with me, men! 'Tis only a prancin' popinjay of a lubber, fit fer neither sport nor friend! Argh, have at 'im lads, we need th' target practice!

Bc2ID gets honorable mention, if not first prize in my book, though calling a pub-bunny a Jack Tar (lowest rank, but still a fellow sailor) is a bit too generous in my estimation! As well as ShotAlot and Wimp for coming close with the direction, and cluing into the fact that your spot would be to starboard only if the ship's sailing due North! Neither got it totally right, but put both together, and...Degrees o' North is gin-u-wine! Nice job.

Thank you to WhiskeySix for being an impartial judge and picking the Irreg that I paid him to pick. Errr...just kidding.

Bravo Axis!

Cheers!
