This is a statement from the society. Any questions can be directed towards myself, Marty, Cambridge, Kev, Andy or Fester. This is the only press release at the present time. Further announcements may follow.
There is even a chance to WIN A PRIZE.
A little while back I was talking (doesn?t matter who with) about the type of jobs that would be a good career choice to make. The usual came up like plasterers etc. Then I mentioned that being a pirate would be impressive and how that industry seems to be on the decline, even though the possible opportunities would be fantastic.
You notice that if you go onto jobserve.co.uk or similar that there are never any job vacancies for pirates? I think that there is definitely a niche market available there.
Think of how fantastic it would be to have a massive galleon sailing through the ocean praying on small tourist boats and trading vessels. In fact I bet rich people would pay to have their boat pillaged and looted just for the novelty! Modern ships don?t take into account pirates and so don?t have any defenses at all!
It obviously has its downfalls as you would be away from friends and family for long periods of time and you would be shunned by the rest of the world. But you would be rich, drunk and happy. What more do you need?
Modern technology could be used in conjunction with?old school? pirate technologies like cutlasses (or cutli is the plural lol) would be used with the occasional musket.
You would also all sleep in hammocks and have a captured female as the ships cook.
Modern technology would allow features such as remote sail control, cannon targeting and ISE (in ship entertainment), as well as parking sensors etc.
You would have to find a cove to dock in though as landlubbers don't like pirates and you could burry your treasure there under a big X. On the ship there could be bucket seats with harnesses and under ship neon?s (for the max power chavs) and the ship would have remote central locking for when we dock lol.
You would have to live on a rum diet and a usual day would be to sail to a port, pillage and loot and then move on. Sounds great.
You could also get a parrot, although in the end I decided I wanted an ostrich on my shoulder and Mr Marty wanted a flamingo. Camb told me he wanted Big Bird from Sesame Street. Have you ever noticed that pirates never have bird crap down their shoulders? I will have to look into how they stop their birds from doing this.
To start with, as money would be tight until after a few lootings I thought you could start off in the countries canals, attacking fellow canal boats. It would be so easy! How many people expect to be boarded? None, exactly! It would be too late when the saw the skull and cross bones. Of course it would be so easy to board another boat as they go so slow, but the get away would take hours though :(. However if we ever mess up the boarding you could easily put your blades between your teeth in true pirate fashion and swim to the enemies ships.
The whole pirate lifestyle would also allow you to wear bandanas which are terribly uncool, unless you are a pirate. You also get to wear long johns!
I have already got a friends mum to start making our costumes and we are on the lookout for a fine vessel to commandeer.
We are also assessing people for our crew. We already have captain's and a cabin boy (Cambridge). And maybe a sea wench (my mates mrs, even though she objected lol).
We would also be available to hire as mercenaries. If you have a problem and no-one else can help. And if you can find us, maybe you could hire - the pirate team (*cough ripoff *cough)
Think of the attention you would get if you were a real old school pirate with a few modern twists. It is definitely a career worth following.
The pirates of yesteryear used to possess and respect a very sacred item ? The Hannifin. This is a mystical entity of great power and of which few have seen. That is all I can say about it for now. If anyone knows what the Hannifin is or where the entity or its name came from either pm me or Marty (and the reason) with a picture of what you think it looks like, what it means to you and how you would store and use it.
The first correct entry will win a mythical Visteon, which is a rare joo artifact.
