So hang on, mine would be, er, "Yo ho ho, Thar she blows. Belay there, Cap'n! |
|
| |
Thar she blows, Belay there, Avast ye lubbers, Pieces of Eight? |
|
| |
Or maybe Arr, Me hearties, Shiver me timbers, Cap'n? |
|
| |
Wow, this one would get Me hearties buns if we could give more than Arr. |
|
| |
So my PIN would be Yo ho ho Yo ho ho Yo ho ho Yo ho ho? I don't think I can remember that. |
|
| |
I don't like Pieces of Eight. It doesn't sound piraty enough. |
|

//I don't like Pieces of Eight. It doesn't sound piraty enough// |
|
| |
It's more pirate parroty I guess. |
|
| |
Bring me spyglass mate! I think I see Cap'n Hippo's ship adrift near the Noidea shoals. |
|
| |
[-] try again. this time, no pirates. |
|
| |
i dunno, pirate shirts had enough trouble making a come-back... |
|
| |
it seems pirates are slipping out of vogue this week |
|
| |
Vogue won't be happy. Have the pirates also been in Paris? |
|
| |
Since you're just saying your PIN out loud, wouldn't someone who had the key to the code be able to figure out your PIN? Or could they just repeat what you said? Or does it only work to the sound of your voice? |
|
| |
[phundug] I don't like pieces of eight either, it's not 5 enough for me. |
