Talk like a pirate

Guys,
I just sent an email to Stu. He relocated to Canada (AARGH the traitor) & got in yesterday.
I sent him an email today & mentioned that today is, "Talk like a Pirate Day."
In the Tampa Bay area today, if you walk into a Krispy Kreme donut store & talk like a pirate,
you get a free sugar-coated donut. If you walk in wearing a pirate outfit, you get a dozen donuts.
After all, we celebrate Gasperilla every year in February. It is our form of Mardi Gras. The day hinges on a
a fictitious sailor named Jose Gaspar & his sweetheart Anna Mariah. There's even an island named after her called........Anna Maria Island.
Hey, use any excuse to drink some Grog right?

HEADMISTRESS,
I plead for your forgiveness dear. You're correct, not all pirates were men.
As men, we are but a limited sort. And I know this because a woman can better steer a boat MUCH BETTER than us lowly males can. I think it has something to do with, wait for it........................PATIENCE?
And, a female pirate always adds more color to sailing, not us knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.
Please forgive us low-life males, as I feel we were only fixated on the free donuts today thus, we are but a limited sort. Basically, us men are REALLY nothing more than Neanderthals however, women are the true Goddesses. Thankyou for clarifying this distinction. I know it because I learned from mom to never talk back.
Roland,
funny, as you mentioned Sea Dog. I buy their shirts & if you fish and/or dive, check out the "Iron Jaw" shirts they're pretty Kool.
Pretty nasty pirates on here Peggy, Oh the search for the right forum.
SBO, I'M THINKING REALLY, maybe it stands for Stupid Boy Orangutans! Usually a simple slap on our nose is all it takes to make us Cower & beg for forgiveness.........Real men know their place, others should be whipped into submission.
PS: Please don't tell Phil I said this.
To my fellow Gorillas............AARGH MATEY.................I don't know about you but,
I got my donut today.

Served in the USS KIDD DD661 "PIRATE OF THE PACIFIC". She flew the Jolly Roger just below our flag on any excuse such as refueling, taking on supplies, in and out of port. She is at Baton Rouge, retired museum and tied to the pier. Chief
That's Claudio. He owns the clam bar in Greenport, NY. No wait. That's Captain Morgan. He's the new owner. Claudio just met Davy Jones.
