The upside down pirate at the end of the sentence
means:
"Stop reading like a pirate." the same as the way Spanish
people use question and exclamation marks only
inverted. (The upside up/down bit inspired by Pertinax's
post)
Here's how you'd use it:
So I picked up my date and said "(right
side up picture of
pirate) Arrg, ya be a
fine lookin wench. Let's have a flagon o' grog and I'll
show
ye me parrot. (upside down picture of pirate)" and she
slammed the
door in my face.
You'd have a menu of cliche characters but pirate's the
only
one that comes to mind. I'd leave it on most of the time.

Right attitude but too fat, gross teeth and no eye patch.

I don't entirely get this idea... |
|
| |
Arrr! A flagon o' GROG?!?! |
|
| |
(Note to self: Best not dwell too long on [doc] showin' the lassies his parrot after they see a picture of me... think about baseball... think about baseball... think about baseball...) |
|
| |
Thanks Boom. Effected the change. |
|
| |
I'll work on clarification in the morning. I'm trying to
watch Dancing with the Stars and think at the same
time. They don't
go well together. |

//read this sentence like a pirate//
Most pirates were illiterate so would I be corrrect to assume that your emoticon is instructing me to slowly point at each word, whilst quietly mouthing a guess at it's sound and then after, say, about thirty seconds of this, give up in frustration and blow away the ship's cook with my flintlock pistol? |
|
| |
//Most pirates were illiterate// but fortunately their parrots were often quite well read. |
|
| |
Wouldn't that have left them with curly edges? |
|
| |
Yes, and dirty fingerprints all over their naughty bits.
(Hey, it gets lonely on those long sea voyages, OK?) |
|
| |
All the pirates I've seen have been excellent readers.
Teleprompters, scripts, add copy. Many probably do
their lines perfectly on the first take. |
|
| |
I only deal with the idealized, modernized, sanitized
and glamorized, hook/patch/peg/parrot/arrrrg
pirate. If
you don't say "Arrrg", swashbuckle, then laugh and
jump off things you're not a pirate in my book. |
|
| |
A bit like those inverted question marks and exclamation marks in Spanish, then? |
|
| |
Ya, know, I like that better. |
|
| |
I'm changing the idea pertinax, thanks. You'll share
the
credit/blame. |
|
| |
This could be a good idea if emoticons weren't so well hated. Maybe using something like musical notation would work. [see link] |
|
| |
I agree that emoticons have always been despised
but look at them. Little smily faces with their
tongues hanging out, eyes bugged out of their
head,
crying... ugh. |
|
| |
I'm only suggesting this for pirate speak. Although
it
would probably work with other cliche' characters,
I
wouldn't be interested myself. |
|
| |
By the way, Apple has expressed interest in
installing a
designated pirate key on all it's future computers.
I'm not kidding, I'm super cereal about this. I
swear to Ra, Thor and Zeus combined! |
|
| |
//I wouldn't expect my bank to send me a
repossession order covered in non-smily faces...// |
|
| |
As inappropriate as that would be it would be
you'd
have to admit it was hell-o' funny. |
|
| |
I actually use the keyboard based ones myself ;)
=0 etc. (that last one's a scared manga character),
the ones I despise are the little smily faces that
nobody uses. Being a pirate this would be at the
opposite end of the spectrum. |
|
| |
So I picked up my date and said: ";∆ Yadda
yadda
yadda arrgh. ∆;" |
|
| |
Ok, that most decidedly doesn't work. I typed a
delta that kind of looked like a pirate talking out
of the
side of his mouth because he's mean. Instead of
an eyepatch he's squinting one eye. The delta
comes up jibberish so, no, that doesn't work. |
|
| |
Okie dokie, speaking of work. |
|
| |
Well, show us the pirate then [doc]!!! I guess I'll bun since the edit...argghhh. + |
|
| |
This (link) is the only pirate I could find with the
attitude I'm looking for but other than that it's a
pretty sorry pirate. Too fat, no eyepatch, I don't
really need rotten teeth to complete the effect. |
|
| |
BTW, here's a product to help you with your pirate
"arrrrg" face. (link) |

//So I picked up my date and said: ";∆ Yadda yadda yadda arrgh. ∆;" // |
|
| |
You silver-tongued rascal! |
|
| |
;-> This is going to be a nice anno. You can tell by my lead
in emoticon. I like this idea. I hate surprises. |
|
| |
For example: an email from your boss that sounds nice at
first but ends up being the bomb. |
|
| |
Boss should start it with an angry emotie [':( |
|
| |
I meant angry pirate boss, you know. |
|
| |
;-> [blissmiss] Best example/argument for this idea
yet! Excellent. A bun for you and one for [doc]. |
