A quick question:

How does one talk like a pirate in Spanish?

It is, after all, international talk like a pirate day.

I believe I have seen rules on how to do it online

Hm. You'd think that they'd have a Spanish section on the site, considering there WERE a lot of Spanish pirates... clearly, they are lacking.

"Me llamo Inigo Montoya..."

Hey, why not? He was practically a pirate.

(Also, if I've mixed up Italian and Spanish again, I apologize on behalf of both countries.)

[3rdragon]

(no, that's Spanish.)

" . . . mataste mi padre, preparate para morir?"

My own taste is more towards the DPR, but you do have a point.

For those who are concerned, I've found a few:

arriad la mayor - lower the mains'l
grumetillo - little cabin boy
marinero de agua dulce - freshwater sailor
al abordaje - the boarding
que le cuelguen de los doblones - that they hang him from the dubloons (yeah, I know, but I'm pretty sure that that's the correct translation.)
dónde está el botín - where is the booty?

Damned! You woke Ramon up!

Perhaps he will be helpful on Friday?

[3rdragon]

Well, Victoriana will be starting again soon, won't it?

I was thinking of Ramon. Actually, I was thinking of Ramon twice, for different reasons on two different days.
Yesterday when I was looking for those, I came across what seemed to be a Spanish pirate LARP. They had links to the Pirate codes and such, which made me think of the research you were doing last year. And then, in History of the 19th Century this morning, the prof mentioned that the costal cities had originally be undesirable because of the "piratas berberes" - pirates from northern Africa.

And, what with Friday being Talk Like a Pirate Day, I rather suspect that it was inevitable.

Mm I guess.

As for continuing Victoriana I am not sure. I had fun but it depends on my schedule and to be honest I have not heard anything about if it is starting up
