The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"?
"Well...", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and I was battling the other sailors with swords. One of them cut my hand off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"?
"A seagull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.
"Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."

basic pirate lexicon
Pirate lingo is rich and complicated, sort of like a good stew. There are several other sites that offer glossaries that are pretty good, and you can find some of them on our links page.
But if you just want a quick fix, a surface gloss, a "pirate patina," if you will, here are the five basic words that you cannot live without. Master them, and you can face Talk Like a Pirate Day with a smile on your face and a parrot on your shoulder, if that's your thing.
Ahoy! - "Hello!"
Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"
Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."
Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."
Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!

Top Ten Punchlines To Dirty Pirate Jokes
- "Brokeback Mutiny"
- "He's all cannon and no balls"
- "Thar she blows!"
- "And that's why Roger is so jolly"
- "Yes it's curved, but it ain't no hook"
- "That's not what I meant when I said I needed some seamen"
- "Now that's a booty!"
- "So that's how my wife got termites"
- "Arrgh, we call it 'The Aristocrats'!"
- "If you won't go down on the ship, will you at least go down on the Captain?

Was ESPN always this shitty?
by Brendanukkah on Sep 19, 2007 9:56 PM EDT up reply actions
My crazy idea...
I think that ESPN was forced to change their focus significantly with the rise of the internet. Their competition for solely sports was not only local sports, but websites providing instant access to scores, analysis, highlights, rankings, etc. The new focus took on not only other forms of sports media, but news media as well. Hence, the switch from "Alex Rodriguez is a hell of a ballplayer," to "A-Rod is a choker, and 5'-2" albino David Eckstein is the guy you really want up in a playoff game."
You (and me) are attempting to learn what's important in baseball without bias or subjectivity, while ESPN is trying to appeal to the largest number of people by pandering to the least common denominator among sports fans. Unfortunately, the best alternative we have is Fox Sports, whose TV programming is infinitely worse (though the morning radio show is much better; Steve Czaban is intelligent, entertaining, and objective; can't say the same about Mike and Mike).
Sorry for the rambling; the bottom line is that you're trying to get smarter and smarter about baseball while ESPN strives to get dumber and dumber to reach the maximum number of people.
Sorry...

How does that work?
I don't have wireless here
When I go on vacation, I check and make sure the hotel has free wireless. It's a must-have for me. Forget the pool, sauna, gym, and room service. I want free Internet!
But I don't understand how that works in Bulgaria. Will you be staying a hotel with free wireless or something?
i'm renting a room
At least
I'm living in a small city. I had to wait forever to get broadband. They said the old wiring in my building - cable and telephone - wouldn't support digital. And there aren't a lot of hotspots in my area. There's a coffee shop a couple of miles away, but most of my neighbors secure their networks these days.
In China awhile back, I ended up paying per minute at Internet cafes and "business centers." CNN.com and other news sites were blocked. o_O
Yeah...
I'd heard that the U.S. really lags the rest of the world when it comes to broadband. Not only do we not have as much of it, our broadband is really, really slow. So slow it wouldn't be considered broadband in many other countries.
Kinda depressing that we're worse than Bulgaria, though.
We had it first
in the US you still have people looking to make a quick buck by starting their own dial-up companies and offering them at insanely low prices. consumers see $9.99 per month! compared to $29.99 per month and all common sense flies out the window. it's like those people who buy a gallon jar of pickles at walmart for $3.99. sure, compared to the smaller jar, that's a great bargin, but the pickles will go bad before they can eat all of them. in reality they're only using a little more pickle than they would have with the smaller jar. not much of a savings.
the pickles got me off track

I wonder if it's our pattern of settlement that's the problem. Europe and Asia have much denser settlement patterns, because they were settled centuries or even millennia ago. Much of the USA was designed around the car. We invented suburbia.
