Fiddlehead Fern Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Tomorrow, Sept 19th, is "Talk Like A Pirate Day." (No, I'm not kidding, look it up!) Since the concertina is often part of the general smush of popular "pirate-related" things, how are you planning on celebrating? Yarr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well on this most holy day to all followers of His Noodlyness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I would just like to say "Aharrr, it be the Black Spot for 'eee, Fiddlehead Fern". But perhaps I won't. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_freereeder Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Ahoy there. Is there an easy pirate song I could learn me hearties? Yaaarrr. Well - it HAS to be the Trumpet Hornpipe (aka the Captain Pugwash tune)! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7XIIO-fyUEw http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hpIlLqfd_xI&...feature=related http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9lU6TluWRM0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiton1 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Tomorrow, Sept 19th, is "Talk Like A Pirate Day." (No, I'm not kidding, look it up!) Since the concertina is often part of the general smush of popular "pirate-related" things, how are you planning on celebrating? Yarr! I am always talking like a pirate; swearing and spitting on the ground every minute or so But it would be in Dutch (the swearing not the spitting). Yes there were many Dutch pirates as well. People tend to think that they all spoke English and that their main port (or nest) was in Hollywood - the greatest pirate being Johnny Depp of course But what worries me is who made up such a silly day (Hollywood to promote their films?), and why does this thread appear on concertina.net (does Fiddlehead Fern has connections with the film industry?), but that what worries me most is why the hell I bothered to reply myself!

Mark Evans Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) You mean there is a special day? I thought every day was talk like a pirate day for concertina players! (I guess that's just me) . We played the Sailor's Hornpipe on Wednesday for the folks and our sponsor, the Crusty Crab (Original location in Bikini Bottom) requires a comercial plug. I do my best Mr. Crabs voice and the rest of the Lads (and one lass) do hearty "Aarghs" through out the pitch. That's pretty much pirate stuff for the Obi's. Hope it counts. I shall endevor to pass the word to me colleagues today. Shiver me timbers! Edited September 19, 2008 by Mark Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what worries me is who made up such a silly day there was a guy in Treasure Island who started off the hollywood version of pirate talk and its something to do with his death I think...it was on QI.
