ATMouse Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Aye, sir! The crew agrees that you need to finally show these scurvy bunch your true powers, sir! We will make a commotion just out of sight of those thugs and you can climb to the highest tree and fly over them, sir! Edited June 25, 2009 by ATMouse
+Carbon Hunter Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Purrfect - we seem to have a problem. This just makes me want to spit a hairball!!!! http://www.mypicx.com/06252009/Pirate/ Well this is going to take a bit of doing. But this is the plan. 1) Take off my wooden pegleg and throw it North East (yes you liver lillyed landlubbers - the map does have north at the base). That silly half brained dog will chase it thinking this is the worlds greatest game since cutlass crossing and pugilism. 2) The phesants that were quietly performing their courtship dance will "jump up in fright and take flight like a kite" (now say that quickly 10 times you tongue tired terror of the tepid turbulence). The will fly towards the tallest point (the flag pole) 3) The Pansy Pirroetting Pirates from Penznace will flee westward Ho - and run straight into a waiting rattle snake! Ignoring the age old "Don't tread on me" - these guys will be toast - leaving me to grab the booty and head north 4) Taking the waiting get away car - we move from a Pirate story into a great getaway. and make off. You'll find me and my matey living on a small fish shaped island in the Carribean. Eating fish and birds (Jack Sparrows in particular). One dubloon and a piece of eight goes to the dogs for their help. Of course we stopped for a bit of milk from the cows on the way past too. I love it when a plan comes together.

+Jackalgirl Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) <ahem> First, Harlots & Scurvy Dogs, let me direct yer attention to th' map and th' associat'd scale bar(rrrr). Note, if'n ye please, the wordin': "SCALE IN FEET" This be yer first clue. Let us be lookin' at feet, shall we? The Cap'n - may we call ye 'Tripod', Cap'n? - she still be havin' her stylish and functional peg leg and perfectly poised paws. But our passle o' four-water grog-drinkin' stage monkeys be cut off at the knees. The squirrel, me mateys. Aye, look at the squirrel! The pirates' knees? Oh, give or take two feet off the ground. The squirrel's height (judging by th' scale bar)? Two feet. Coincidence? I think not! Yes, our clever an' wily Cap'n, she be parlayin' with those scurrrrrilous Sciuridae an' charmin' 'em into kneehaulin' those tune-blubberin' landlubberin' excuses fer pirates! An' now that the Cap'n has defeated [HAR HAR HAR!] those cheatin' sons o' biscuit eaters, she can simply walk to the treasure! [step-step-step-THUMP! step-step-step-THUMP! step-step-step-THUMP! step-step-step-THUMP!] "Rrowrrrrrrrrrrrrr"* *"The treasure be mine!" Edited June 25, 2009 by Jackalgirl
+SgtMikal Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Me plan is a simple one. Me thinks you should walk up to the scurvy lads, holding a plank. Lay it on the ground beside the goup and look each of them in the eye, muttering nere a word. As soon as one of them starts to ask a question, shush them like that scene in Austin Powers. When someone else tries to ask a question, start singing, "Let me tell you a story about a man named SHH!" When they look at each other in confusion, pick one who is still looking at you, and say, "SHH! That was a pre-emptive SHH! Just know that I have a whole bag of SHH with your name on it." As they all mill about in bewilderment, tell them, "I have a simple question for you. The first person to answer it can watch as the others walk this plank. The question is this: What is the difference between an egg?" As they all mutter in confusion, simply walk around them and get the treasure that you have been seeking!
+Team CeDo Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 For this task capt'n Kita knew there was only one thing to do.....call upon the back up ship "the flying dutchman", and Spongebob square pants and the not so courageous Patrick star. With the help of the two, capt'n Kita was able to confuse the pirates and sneak past them grabbing the treasure before the pirates even knew what was going on. Thank you for an awesome cointest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
+fuzziebear3 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Arrrr mateys, we go around. Thar be some bushwackin, but that is what our handy cutlasses (Pirate Bushwhacking Swords) be made fer! We start to the NE, where we can pick up the lovely Compass Rose, which will be handy on the rest of our Journey. Continuing NNE, we get some Peaceful Doves (suncatchers), useful in calming any negotiations. A bit NW to pick up some GeoGold and GeoGems in them thar hills. Then back on track to the NE to meet up with the Eclectic Penguins, who must be useful somehow. Continuing to the N, we will come across the Cache Critters (cow edition). The penguins can round up them cows (the Mystery Bandita might come along and help), while we parlay with the ladies who are having an Event and have offered us a feast of MWGB Chicken and spaghetti. The cows, now corralled by the penguins, will be incited by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and will charge up the road, scattering the pirates to the 4 Corners Benchmarks. They will even drop their Pirates of the Caribbean Doubloons. We can then head up the road (just be sure to Look Twice) and pick up the nice Traveling Case for all of our booty. Don't forget to stop at the Mailbox on our way by. Along the road, there is an Earth Turtle crossing, so we should help any of them along too. As we head back to the port, we can grab that Betsy Ross from the pole, and that Rattlesnake from its lair. And I hear there are Trilobytes along the shore by the port. Before we board, we can refresh at the Celtic Tree of Life, and I saw the Fox and Hound nearby too. Then we need to sail off in search of Neptune's Compass for our next adventure.

+GATOULIS Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That is easy For a Pirate with your fame!!! a good captain must have a plan and a backup plan and a way to escape if things will not go as you wished! I can help in that!!!! I just want a share from the treasure.... do not forget I am a Cat too!!! Plan A! Remember.. you are a captain of Pirates!!! Go ahead and face them! they are just crue! start talking about adventures and gold (do not mention abut the treausure!!!), and take them in your side! they only want to go back! they need a ship and probably a captain! You are the one! And.... remember... you have 9 lives!!! Isn't that enough to convince them that you are the best captain they can find??? Emergency case, PLAN B Never forget that you are an animal!!! A real animal, not.... It is time to activate the animal alliance!! Bring all the animals of the island and talk to them! According to the Alliance, they are obliged to help you! Animals rule!!! Attack the pirates with your new army! Animals know the place! they know how to attack and surprise the enemy! On the other hand... do not forget to ask them if there is an other way to avoid the pirates and go on the other side (find an excuse...like you want to see these strange machines with the name CAR you can see in the map (what are they doing there????) .... do not say anything about the treasure!). Then thank them and leave, taking an other way! Do not go direct to the place the treasure is! Be sure that you are not beiing watchd first and then go! Escaping plan and red allert plan! If you can not convince the other animals to follow you (some may understand that you are hiding something some are more clever.... Do I see a fox in the map???) just ask them to lead you from a safe passage to the USA camp! I can see a USA flag in the map!!! Go to the head officer and tell him that terrorists, (Somalian pirates??) are close to the camp that they are dangerous! then let US army do the rest!!! Now the treasure is yours!!! What do you think now?? Did I convince you with my plans??
xpat-021 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I rrrecon me matey, that you befriend them on yrrrrrr way!!! Offer em some good ol' rrum. Wait tell they drunk and head off underrr the coverrrr of night. Don't howeverrrr forrrrget to nick their GPS and ditch y'r map so that you can find the treasure without any hassels. Make sure y'r out of there quick though as ya don want no trouble when they awake...
+fuzziebear3 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Time fer ano'ter joke, mateys!! So, there's this pirate ship in the midst of a long voyage. The men have grown terribly bored. A pirate amongst them happens to know a bunch of magic tricks, and he decides to put on a magic show. His parrot, however, is quite gossipy and can't keep it's mouth shut. The pirate begins his first trick, and tha parrot gives it away by saying "rawwk, the coin is in the other hand, rawwk!" Frustrated, the pirate tries another trick, but again, the parrot gives it away by blurting out "rawwk, look under the table, rawwk!" This goes on for some time, to a point that the pirate can't manage to perform anything spectacular to entertain the crew. His anger towards his blabbermouth parrot eventually grows so phenomenal that one night he gets very drunk and accidentally crashes the ship into some rocks. Sobering up the next morning, he finds himself adrift on some wreckage. The parrot, ever the attentive sidekick, happens to land next to him looking quite puzzled. It says to him: "Rawwk, Okay, I give up, What'd ya do with the boat?"
+surteb Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Yo ho ho! It be an easy task luring those scallywags away from yer treasure. Ya just start singin' a tune from another pirate musical, "The Pirate Queen"! In no time at all, they be forgetting all about swashbucklin' and stealing yer booty. Aye, they'll be too busy dancin' on their peg legs and singing along with the lassie who's a singing to them. This method ain't be for the lily-livered, though, cause a pirate's voice ain't none too sweet. But it be worth it for you to be back to countin' your doubloons!
+LadyBee4T Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Here's what Capt'n Kita said of his dramatic grabbing of the treasure-- Ya gotta be outta ye mind ye wench if ya be thinkin' I'd reveal the secret of the trip to the treasure. We felines are known as crafty creatures and I'd not be wastin one of me 9 lifes on that motley crew of 17--nary a one would I waste I tell ye. But since the treasure be all mine I'll give ya a hint. Keep to a bearing of SSW and creep along on their bad eye side. They be brawling and partying up a storm but ye can never be too careful. Once you see the One-Eyed Jack then head SSE and scurry along the side of the Hill until you see the X you won't see the treasure though because I have already plundered it!! Roar Roar!!
+anne.and.eli Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 HAHAhahahahaha these stories are just getting funnier and more awesome. Once again I'm off to no-internet land, but I'll be back in time for the dramatic conclusion! Thanks everyone for playing.

+Team CeDo Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Pirate goes into a bar and says me parrot can sing. I pull his left leg, he sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I pull his right leg he sings Appy Birthday. And sure enough, the parrot does it. Someone asks What happens if you pull both his legs? and the parrot says I fall off my perch you idiot. A pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, an eyepatch, but what bothers him is one day he notices he has a screw in his bellybutton. He goes to the doctor, the doctor gets out a screwdriver, and takes the screw out. Then the pirate's butt falls off. I know too late for cointest, but still had to post em!!!!

+anne.and.eli Posted June 26, 2009 Author Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Okay, looking through everything, and you all did such a fantastic job, I REALLY wish I had some sorta token prize I could give to you all! Sadly, I don't. You all have really made this a great week, getting pirate speak in emails and all. Okay, but I had to pick. So I did! Fuzziebear3 gets the Quartermaster secondary prize!! Not only because they changed their icon (hehe) but also because I loved their pirate story answer to #4 which incorporated tons of geocoins into it!! The whole thing had me laughing out loud by the end, so I decided it counted. So Fuzziebear3, send me your address and I will send you the Quartermaster secondary prize! Thanks again a ton for everyone who played. This was a TON of fun! Also, thanks to google and the internet for all the graphics and riddles I "borrowed".
