    Ahoy, thar! That be a very good weblink, me bucko, so that be!  Arrrr!

    Strangely enough, there was a programme on Radio 4 the other day in which it mentioned that the 'avast, me hearties!' style of pirate lingo was an invention of a particularly famous Victorian actor, and that actually most pirates never spoke like that, but just had the general accents of where they came from – although a lot of the nautical phrases were true…

    Still, pirate costumes are very sexy on women… arrrrrrrrrr….  👿

    Ok – I'll see what I can find.  I tend to only morph things if I find a pic I like that also has potential for good morphing – I'll have a search and see if I can find a piratical-type one to work on, Jim lad!

    Aye, Kulli lass, ye'd be enjoyin' "Gasparilla Day" in Tampa, Florida as well, arrr!

    *SLAP!* (Enough with the pirate talk already!!) Okay, okay! Jeeez…

    Anyway, Gasparilla Day takes place in February, if my memory serves me correctly; some years ago my wife and l lived in Tampa and we saw a bit of the festivities involved. I'm a little fuzzy on the details of exactly why they celebrate it; it has something to do with the fact that a pirate named Jose Gaspar used to operate in the area back in the day. Anyway, it's just an excuse to have a pirate-themed Mardi Gras-type party, with a parade and bead-throwing and all that, and dressing up and talking like pirates and drinking, of course!
