Anyone Have A Spare $750,000 To Buy A Pirate Ship?

by **sigboy40** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 10:20 pm

I will donate 37.50 and a bottle of Captain Morgan.

Of course, if this ends the same way as "help Nathan buy Firefly" I'm going to be pissed.

In for a $20.

I was just thinking ZSS Shrapnel's Shakedown.

I second ZSS Shrapnel's Shakedown, quite the intimidating name, IMO :lol:

I was thinking that we could take it off the coast of Somalia to show them some REAL pirates, and then I remembered the South Park where the kids went there and became pirates.

Uhhhh...maybe this isn't such a good idea. I'm still in for $20, though!

In for $20, and I have a cutlass...

Okay, so it's a Civil War cavalry saber, but it's real. And pointy.

I'm sure that'll be ok.

by **Kutter_0311** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 1:53 am

I have cut-up cammies and an AK, so I guess that puts me in the 'modern pirate' category :lol:

Psht, I'm in for the $150 I got paid in cash the other day. I want to be first mate.

ZSS Shakedown FTW. We can sail around to places in need of disaster relif, pass out FAKs, MREs, ARs and AKs and create warm and goodness in the world.

Hopefully we raise the gold before the Sea Shepard people do. I'm all for saving whales but seriously guys, this ship is for us!

Thus far we're in for $394.01, a house, leg money, a bottle of Captain Morgan, a pirate flag, 64.70 in Mexican pesos, 4 Euros, and a lottery ticket that could theoretically be worth millions. We're doing great! :lol:

by **Doctorr Fabulous** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 3:47 am

And my sword!

by **KentsOkay** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:44 am

And my bow!

I'll start the £ fund with £25 & I'll provide some Old Bushmills straight from the distillery. And also some of the finest mutton

I'm in for $200 if I can be First Science Officer!!

Pirate ships have sciences officers, don't they?
-Blast

p.s. It'd be worth $200 to be able to put "First Science Officer of the pirate ship ZS Insert Name Here" on my resume along with a picture of the ship.

by **White Bear** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:29 am

I'll throw in ￥10,000 but you'll have to come pick me up here in Nagoya. Also if anyone wants to bring me a cutlass and boarding ax, I'll happily repay you with various libations when you get here.

by **RickOShea** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:29 am

And my axe....er....tommyhawk.

by **Doctorr Fabulous** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:30 am

Wait, we can bid on officer positions? $50 if I can be in charge of "Public Relations."

by **wee drop o' bush** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:34 am

Hell if the good ship ZS goes to Japan it can swing by here too and pick me up for a donation of £500 and a huge drinking session...fighting optional

Also I want to be stationed in the crows nest watching out for icebergs, mermaids & manatees

by **ShortFieldBreak** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 10:10 am

I also agree, it must be a ZSS. Heck, I have a ship engineer license and can sail and navigate on the sea. If I kick in $200 does that mean I can be captain? Oh yeah, I'll also throw in another handle of Captain Morgan.

I think we already have a sadistic midget (sorry, little person) as captain.

Helmsman maybe?

by **Regular Guy** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 11:49 am

I'm in for $51.50 and I want to be a deck swabber and a person of generally poor repute.

I´m in with 11.50$ (the half dollar even has some silver in it, Arrrgh!)
200€ and an Austrian Gold Dukat

I can bring two spare pirate flags. :lol:

I´ll helpt the evil good Captain to bullwhip motivate the crew. No wait, i´ll just sit around and drink some Cpt. Morgan.

ETA:

oh yeah, and i´ll bring a Euro Palett or two full of beer. I can get it almost at cost, my buddy is the brewer.

by **Rugger** » Wed Jan 04, 2012 1:32 pm

A couple questions I've come up with.
Can I be in charge of interviewing/hiring wenches?
And do we all have to drink rum? (bad hangovers)
Can I be the official mall pirate?
(eta)Blue wire for rigging/lashing/running yar colors up?
