Is my neighbor really a pirate?

[skygazer]

Poll question: Is my neighbor really a pirate?

Here's the evidence. He doesn't have a peg leg and I've never seen him with a parrot. He doesn't drive a Cutlass. But he does holler odd things in the middle of the night that are sort of piratey sounding (something to the tune of "Yaaarrrrgggghhhh!" - though it's been suggested that he might be Howard Dean. I don't think so) and he goes away on long trips for extended periods.

So now I'm wondering if he might really be a pirate and how I should go about finding out. (I'm not bored, honest)

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

14. I rate as "very pirate"

Oh, hell, maybe I'm the pirate and I'm simply projecting on my neighbor.

I really do need help, I guess....

[Phillycat]

15. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you might be. But, the good news is, recognizing that you're a pirate is the first step. Now you can get help.

I have to go home from work now. Thanks for entertaining me my last hour. :)

It is about time I get the old galleon out of the mothballs and bring the bloody british Empire to her knees

7. Honey, if I was close enough to Johnny Depp

to ask him about my neighbor, I would NOT be asking about my neighbor!

[Misunderestimator]

21. For Johnny Depp...

I might not be either.

5. Does he wear a puffy shirt?

[skygazer]

6. Of course! The puffy shirt!

It's tough to see under the long, buckled coat. I think maybe he does, though.

[Phillycat]

9. Hmm. The coat might be a clue...

Nah. Too obvious. Who ISN'T wearing a long, buckled coat these days?

10. "Yaaarrrrgggghhhh --is that Pirate Speak?

I thought it was Argh, or something like that. Maybe he is a pirate from Vermont?

[skygazer]

12. Vermont is known for it's pirates

They simply terrorize the shipping on Lake Champlain.

No, silly, he's not Howard Dean! I'd recognize him if he was! I think he's just an over-enthusiastic pirate, perhaps trying to make up for a small ..... um..... parrot or something.

[MADem]

18. A pirate without a BIG parrot

...is like a day without pillaging, looting, and burning!

[Zuni]

13. Check his garage for silks and spices

I think it is fairly obvious we are dealing with a Pirate, perhaps Bluebeard.

16. Aaaarrrrrrrrrrrggghhh I have me Prate name Mateys!!

Black Mary Rackham

That be me!!

Yo ho ho

When people realize this, noises of this kind will be inconsequential.

28. Good point

And I am! I wonder what my neighbors think I am! I'll have to try to remember to holler "shiver me timbers!" or something next time. That would be fun though I'd best give the hubby warning first. Or not.... :evilgrin:

[Lefty48197]

25. Does he put pineapples on top of the fence post when he gets home?

Pirate for sure.

[bloodyjack]

26. Well have you seen his BOOTY

That's a very reliable indicator

[The Sushi Bandit]

27. No, he is GAY!

[flvegan]

29. Ask him if he's gotten any booty lately

Booty...just another word for pirate treasure.
