At any rate, I think it's all good fun really. A chance to get into the pirate-y spirit, ya know? Of course, some of us sound pirate-y every day *le pat for potr* so this should be like any ol' day for them.

*dons pirate hat*

I must say though, it makes the "What Be Ye Listening To?" and "Lyrics!" threads quite... interesting.

And I often use song lyrics as the subjects of my PM's, so my inbox is all
Re: "bilge rats have hope..."
"Say your goodbyes if ye've got someone to say goodbye to"
"Oh, be the crew gonna make it?"
"Ahoy, I'm too tired to smile today."

"Bilge rats have hope"- that one cracks me up!

And...major pirate points go to potr!!! (By the way, congrats on your new position as Official Tolkein Scholar! )

Haha! Those are really funny timx4! The Announcements and Introduction threads are really funny too, with the mod's official threads sounding all pirate-y.
