Keelhaul Fowler Sez ARRR!

[filkertom]

All right, ye swabbies, I'm feelin' piratical this mornin'.

First, we saw that new movie last week, an' I ain't had time ta discuss it. If ye hasn't seen it, what're ye waitin' fer? It's fun an' exciting, an' th' script is way the hell deeper than it has any right t' be, given that it's a PIRATE MOVIE. The performances are very good to excellent, and Keira Knightley is a very worshippable goddess even if she needs a coupla damn sammiches, and I love all the characters, and the direction and music and design are all top-notch, and DON'T LEAVE TILL THE BLASTED END O' THE CREDITS, ye bilge rats!

Now then. Me fine wench Beth reminded me of th' Pirate Name Generators, male and female. If I just put in "Tom Smith", I get "Evil Fowler"... but me full name gets "Keelhaul Ivan". So I'm splittin' th' difference, an' ye can call me "Keelhaul Fowler". Aye, I like that. So what do ye get?

An' don't ferget -- less than two months ta Talk Like A Pirate Day!

I be Keelhaul Erin. Arr...

[dubheach.livejournal.com]

I be Mad Pegs.

I knew that.

btw, I've actually gotten permission from work to dress as a pirate here on "Talk Like a Pirate Day" I said it was part of my religious observances, arrrrr.

Good thing I have a boss almost as silly as me.

[siliconshaman.livejournal.com]

I be thinking ye got a very cool boss there!

[dubheach.livejournal.com]

Ye be right there matey! It's one of the joys of working at a University that we're allowed to be more "eccentric"....nay, crazy, I don't have the money to be eccentric, than most public jobs will allow or ignore.

You ought to see what we get up to during Halloween.

First and last name gets me: Jolly Jeannie
Full name gets me: Evil Esmerelda

Hmmm....

[blueeyedtigress.livejournal.com]

Arrrr! I be Mad Jeannie, ye swab.

Buccaneer Buckthorn be my name

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Arr. "Matt Leger" gets me named "Keelhaul Henry," and "Matthew Gerard Leger" comes out as "Cabinboy Bunch." But "Matthew Leger" results in "Buccaneer Buckthorn," so selectin' one o' the three ta use surely is a no-brainer. Yo-ho-friggin'-ho. :-)

[timewalker.livejournal.com]

From the results, I think I'll be goin' with Iron Morgan (http://timewalker.livejournal.com/13311.html).

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

Yarr, I be "Sealegs Constance" or "Keelhaul Jane," the latter of which'd be a fine name fer any lubbers what call themselves a rock band.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Sealegs Jennie. It has a ring to it. (Not the ring Captain Jack stole from Tia Dalma, no, not that one....)

[arucartoonguy.livejournal.com]

I got "Frosty Brigand"... must be sailing the seas a wee bit north of the rest of you.

Did anyone else catch the NPR review of the movie?

They had a Ninja do it, but to be fair they said that the next Ninja movie would be reviewed by a Pirate.

And a friend just posted this link to a Cap'n Jack Sparrow My Little Pony...

"Cabinboy Brigand"?

Avast!

[beldar.livejournal.com]

Ferget?! It's me birthday! (Talk Like a Pirate Day, I mean)

Seems me internet handle fetches me "Cabinboy Bible" -- perhaps that's because if I were a cabin boy I might find meself down on my knees a lot

(to pray, of course! get yer mind out of the bilge!)

Using the name me parents gave me, I'm Mad Badfish! I think I'll keep that one, arrrr!

Just out of curiosity, I looked up who I'd be were I a wench -- Cabinlass Prudence. Sounds pretty, arrrr....

[ravenclaw-eric.livejournal.com]

My usual name got "Sealegs John," and my full legal name got "Cutthroat Sven." Being's I'm Scandinavian-American, I'll go with "Cutthroat Sven."

Ahhr!

[siliconshaman.livejournal.com]

Frosty Rackham I gots... Arrr, either I be a blasted Tavern keeper, or I be sailing the frozen Northern seas, savvy?!

O' course I prefer me own pirtate name... Blackheart Bonebreaker! I even gots me own flag an' all ye see?!

[and for what it's worth, I actually am very distantly related to an honest-to-goodness pirate...Cpt Edward Whyte. A snippet of genelogy that came as no surprise at the time.]

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

Arrr! I be Black Esmerelda!

[janet-coburn.livejournal.com]

And with stunning accuracy, Dan be Mad Goodfellow!

[izzyryu.livejournal.com]

Arrr, I be Blackspot Jeannie. A name destined fer Davy Jones' crew, I reckon. This be a bad omen.

[kshandra]

First name only: Evil Elizabeth

I put in the variation of my name I use most often and got...

Swashy Cancker

WTF? That's a pirate disease, not a pirate name...
.
.
.
OK, let's try the next most common variation...

Cutthroat Obadiah

Ok, sorta better, but it's more like a psychotic Mennonite.
.
.
.
Let's move on down the list...

Deadeye Scarlett - uh, no
Frosty Cruikshank - that's a Harry Potter character, isn't it :)
Geedunk Wench - What's with all the female stuff on the male name gen?
Buccaneer Smythe - hmmm...

Buccanner Smythe - still thinking...

Hey, I LIKE that one - and go figure, it winds up coming from my most common online nick :)
