Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 10, 2016

Tony asked on facebookWhat do pirates say?-

“Stick ’em up, and give me all your money and jewelry!” – if you’re very lucky.

What Brit is the boy trying to sound like? London, Birmingham, Manchester… just like the States, England is chock full of various accents!

BevOh I say, that’s a smashing idea. What say we pop down to the pub for a pint?

Please, NO!!Nothing annoys the English people I know more than hearing Americans using what they think are English expressions, most of which English people never actually say, in a horrible, fake English accent.

It even makes me cringe.Especially when they meet an English person, and start saying that stuff…I want to sink into the floor.At least Maria seems to get it.I also love it at Renaissance Faire or on Talk Like a Pirate Day, when they put “eth” on the end of every other word, and throw in a few bad imitations of modern Cockney slang, thinking it’s Elizabethan.

Bad enough that the English will never forgive Dick Van Dyke for his accent in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”

Talk like a pirate day should be called talk like Robert Newton day. He’s the only actor to use the “arrrgh” and the rest of that inflection.

@TonyWhat do pirates say?.What kind of pirates?Video pirates. Get the DVD before it’s in the theaters.Software pirates. Freeware for all and all for freeware.High Seas pirates. Sorry Redbeard we just elected Blackbeard as our new Captain.

The “pirate” accent is a Somerset accent.

Darned if I know what they say. I don’t speak Somali.

If you want to know how the British speak, watch a British-made movie or TV show. I already have several TV shows. I’m now working on the classic British movies.

What do pirates say?.“What do you mean I can’t copy this music???”

Arggh…..sorry

“Keeping up Appearances” is my favorite. My grandmother made over!

Don’t you know the Queen’s English…..him him him.

Tony asked on facebookWhat do pirates say?

Two pirates are battling it out when one says to the other…“Those are rather handsome ear rings you have. What did you pay for them?”“Two dollars” replied the other pirate.“Not bad for a buccaneer!”

I believe that was from a very old Miller beer commercial

What do pirates say?

“Welcome to Walmart… how may we take your last penny today?”

My all time favorite was “Are you being served?” And at one time the local (Huntington Beach) station ran “East Enders” The program was several years behind the "real time’ version and one day they decided to catch up. They sent us a long rambling letter explaining what happened in the meantime, but not who died or moved or why. It was, of course, confusing and then they abruptly stopped airing it! Arrrrgh!
