Arrgh! It's ITLAP Day!
It be Capt. Rob here with yet another bold sortie into the shoal waters of piratical parlance. And just in time for the 2016 International Talk Like A Pirate Day! As they used to say on the gallows, “better late than tethered!” or was it “Better a free bottle in front o’me than a pre-frontal lobotomy!” They also said, “Better to standing on the shore wishing you were out at sea than to be out at sea wishing you were standing on the shore.” And “better to be in a boat with a drink on the rocks than in the drink with a boat on the rocks." And as long as we’re sounding the stockpile of sagacious scuttlebutt, let’s not forget that the only time ye’ve got too much fuel on board is when ye be on fire!
Well, I could forge ahead with this bombastic bilge but the sun be over ye yardarm and I’ve got better things on me mind so, rather than plot a course through uncharted seas, I’ll leave ye with a toast from a previous passage:
Ye olde poet pirate, Capt. Rob!
May ye whistle stay wet
May ye powder stay dry
May ye keep all ye parts
When life’s cannonballs fly
With the treasure of friendship may ye ship be supplied
May ye journeying carry ye far
May fortune and happiness sail by ye side
And sustain ye wherever ye aahhrrr!
