Oh, after switching to more traditional English, I got my order through to her. No harm, no foul. :-)
Can't do it these days, I don't speak Somali...
Arrrrr, you give me donut, me love you long time.
Pirates were, and remain, LARGELY sadistic thief-rapist torturers whose horrific, utterly inhuman deeds are well documented by the few who survived encounters. I never understood our love affair with pirates.
Obama:....we got you a good deal on the flight back home
Sheik: ....thanks brother
Obama:....and how did your cultural excursion go
Sheik.....the fish noodling competition was interesting
Obama:....did you catch anything...?
Sheik:....yes ...an alligator.
Spoiler alert: You get a free glazed donut at Krispy Kreme any day of the week.
You could probably get away with calling her a wench, and no one would blink an eye.
WARNING!!! If you’ve never had a fresh hot Krispy Kreme doughnut, do not do this. It’s a trap, employed by pushers everywhere. The first one’s free. After that, you’re addicted for life. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about here.
They pulled me and DH into their lair with this Talk Like A Pirate scheme. Now we talk like addicts. Can’t wait for the next one. Can’t pass a Krispy Kreme without checking to see if the Hot Now light is on.
I even downloaded an app that’s supposed to tell when we’re near a Krispy Kreme, and which ones within 100 miles currently have the light on. It drains my battery, but rarely tell the truth. I’m thinking of deleting it, but I just can’t. It would feel like a betrayal of everything I’ve come to live for.
They should call it Krispy Krack.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go watch a marathon of Sponge Bob to cram for my doughnut.
Not at Krispy Cream in Kettering, OH. It closed earlier this year.
YARRR... hand over the sweet confections ye land lubbers!
So, who first started talking like a pirate? Wallace Berry or Robert Newton?(Treasure Island)Yes!
Obviously it was NOT Errol Flynn or Basil Rathbone! (Captain Blood)
Maybe Captain Francis Barclay ( Sir Cedrick Hardwicke) in CARIBBEAN? No!
John Payne? (Raiders of the Seven Seas)NO!
Tyrone Power ( The Black Swan)? No.
Charles Laughton (Captain Kidd) Again no.
There was a pretty good TV series called ‘Crossbones’ which had John Malkovich as Edward Teach.
N.B.: Talk like a pirate day is a creature of the Flying Spaghetti Monster pseudo-cult.
At my local Krispy Kreme I get a free glazed donut for walking in the door. Now I gotta be a pirate too? What if I don’t wanna be a pirate? Is a puffy shirt required?
Who needs Somalian pirates? We have our own in Louisiana, and they are legendary.
Jean Lafitte and his brother Pierre were heroes of the Battle of New Orleans when they weren’t plundering ships in the Gulf of Mexico.
If you take a boat ride thru Barataria Pass, down in the swamps south of New Orleans, you can visit The Temple, where Jean Lafitte held auctions to sell their plundered loot to the fashionable families of Louisiana.
There’s a Krispy Kreme shop not far from there.
And on Boubon Street in the French Quarter, you can have a drink at the piano bar, in what was once the blacksmith shop of Jean and brother Pierre Lafitte. The old building where they worked and lived is said to be haunted by the two pirates and some unidentified women, probably mistresses.

Yarr, wish I’d known about that this morning.
Maybe next year.
