Cutlasses vs Pistols

[Deck Hand Sharkchum]

YYYaarrrrrgghhhhh

I jus' use anythin' oi can get me baaarrrrggghhhh hands on.... I've even been known ta use me oin parrot in a pinch.....

[tanguerra]

Well, I always swears by me cutlass when there is heavy work to be done. Nothing like a good double-handed back hand with a cutlass in the gizzard to end any argument quick smart.

Naturally I never goes anywhere without a dirk in me boot, one down me strides, and another in me girdle. You never knows!

Then, of course a pistol is a fine thing indeed in its place, but they be new-fangled gadgets what don't really take to gettin' seawater and any other muck and filth what you typically experience at sea, and so on in 'em, so I really thinks they be more of a lubber weapon and just as likely to prove unreliable in a tight spot (that's when your cutlass comes into its own! Yaaaaar!).

ARRRRRRR...Knuckles O'Shuffle's cutlass often comes into his own!

[tanguerra]

Just more muck and filth to be found aboard a pirate vessel for sure. I hope he wipes it off after!

[black bart]

ARRRRRR, Knuckles has been a wee bit quiet of late...they opened a sperm bank in Portsmouth!

[tanguerra]

Har har! Soon Portsmouth will be positively swarming with wee pirate urchins! Little wee peg-legs and eye patches in the shops an all! Dirks R Us opening up on every street corner. Does bring a sentimental tear to me eye!

YArrrr...

Tangie, Dan, Chow, Rowan - speakin of toys and little-uns. What's your availability on Xmas Eve?

We be recruitin a new crew for a speshial mission on this big red fat b-stard who ruins kids special day by givin 'em 'the presents 'they deserve'.

Have you ever heard of a Bofors Anti-aircraft gun? Would yer like to?

I just missed the bugger off Sydney Headlands last year, after Oi drunk lotsa rum and ate too much pudding.

Well get him this time!!

[Rev. Rowan Redbeard]

Sorry, but I don't work on my birthday.

I think I might be able to run down a munitions supplier for you though...

[tanguerra]

Yaaaar! DaveL - hitting a flying target of that nature takes some skill, a dead eye and a sober gunner - perhaps too big a call?

We could dig a pit trap for 'em? Do yez think? We could bait it with some wee urchins? We could also try a little booby trappin'? I'm thinking some explodin' fairy lights, that kind of thing. That's using yer scone.
