The latest craze sweeping the country. Just like line dancing, but in pirate costume. Just like a hornpipe, but with linked elbows.
Parrots optional, for a whirling, joggling mess of humanity, each having the time of his/her life.
AAHRRR!
Didn't Gilbert & Sullivan do something with this?

Now just gather a bunch of friends and go to a city where people haven't heard of this yet, and watch the looks on their faces. |
|
| |
This is just an excuse to use pirates in something. + |
|
| |
Actually, it came about because some nasty people wanted to start a bit of line dancing at my birthday party, on Saturday. Yesterday (Sunday) was my 41st anniversary. |
|
| |
Did the Honourable Member from Queensland receive my salutations regarding his anniversary, Mr Speaker? |
|
| |
Indeed he did. His joy at the receipt of such tidings was palpable. |
|
| |
UnaBubba, you may be disheartened to know that not only do we have kids that are nearly the same age; our birthdays are one day apart and there is one year difference. |
|
| |
<The outer limits> doo dee doo doo, doo dee doo doo </tol) |
|
| |
Well, it's just a big birthday weekend. Mrs [angel] had her 44th last Friday. |
|
| |
Compliments of the season, [UB]! |
|
| |
(edit) And [Ling] of course. |
|
| |
Ling, - your kids are nearly the same age as UnaBubba? |
|
| |
//some nasty people wanted to start a bit of line dancing// In my book, that's a capital offence. At the very least, you should shun them. |
|
| |
//your kids are nearly the same age as UnaBubba?// If so, then MFD: "magic" |
|
| |
Van Harte gefeliciteerd [UnaBubba]! |
|
| |
Happy belated b-day, [Bubba]! |
|
| |
//This is just an excuse to use pirates in something.// True, but it would be very funny. |
|
| |
I've put candles on your croissant, [UB]. |
|
| |
I wonder how they powered the Electric Slide in those days. |
|
| |
With electricity. They attached wires to various highly conductive parts of their anatomies, then rubbed dozens of cats the wrong way. I know, because Andrea Deicke told me so. |
|
| |
Belated birthday wishes UnaBubba. |
|
| |
(anyone else noticed that the pirates ideas have lost their aye/arr/narr buttons? Methinks bakery support for pirating has been withdrawn) |
|
| |
Not before time. It only encourages them. |
|
| |
//bakery support for pirating has been withdrawn// I understand it is due to anti-discriminatory pressure from the International Federation of Footpads, Brigands, Bandits and Cut-purses. |
|
| |
You just have to have a profile page that
says 'Arrrrr.' *wink* |
|
| |
'Just like a hornpipe, but with linked
elbows.'
Ain't it always. HBUB |
|
| |
The last contra dance weekend I went to was on Halloween, and several people chose pirate costumes.
//a whirling, joggling mess of humanity, each having the time of his/her life// That pretty much describes a good contra dance. |
|
| |
If you like dancing pirates, find the Stratford, Ontario, version of Pirates of Penzance. |
|
| |
I like Pirates of Penzance, I think I saw it
live once in my hometown. |
|
| |
Too bad Jack Sparrow didn't do a
musical number. Oh well, high hopes
for the sequel. |
|

"Let's see..was it 'stagger stagger crawl..."
"We Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we're dead" |
|
| |
I tried to organise a group of griends to help me gatecrash a line-dancing club this weekend, dressed as pirates. They all chickened out. I may still go alone, out of spite. |
|
| |
I'd have done it, Una. Sometimes I
pretend to be human, how is a pirate
any different? |
|
| |
Pirates tend to be missing bits. Go on, you try line dancing with a wooden leg. |
|
| |
Obligatory "I thought this was about": I thought this was about selling bootleg copies of line-dancing videos. I couldn't figure out who would be interested in *that* kind of video, but now I know. |
|
| |
Felicitations, young pup. Hope you see many, many more. (PS also [Ling], Mrs [angel], and anyone else I missed) |
|
| |
//bootleg copies of line-dancing videos. I couldn't figure out who would be interested in *that* kind of video// |
|
| |
A glimpse of pale thigh might be appealing, but not if it is made from Ash. Who says pirates have to be male? Thanks for the felicitations. |
|
| |
//A glimpse of pale thigh might be appealing, but not if it is made from Ash.//
I suspect that Paul McCartney may not agree. |
|
| |
Very Good [angel].
belated Hippy Bathday to [UB], [Ling] and [Mrsangel]. |
|
| |
it seems as though the swords are getting in the way, slicing people's legs and other body parts as they are swirling and twirling, what a bloody mess, slipping all over the dance floor |
|
| |
If the Jamaican Bobsled team from 'Cool Runnings' can learn to line dance...so can I. |
