Red .... it's too late .... you were "press ganged" by the Greedy Cabin Monkey ... shortly , the black flag will be lowered and the red flag raised . Cap'n Greedy will be in charge of your mission.

"There are several theories as to the origin of the term "Jolly Roger", the main belief is that it is a French to English translation. Initially, a plain red flag was flown to show that the no mercy would be given ("no quarter given"), or in another words - death to all. So a ship flying a red flag actually caused more fear because it meant no life would be spared. It is from this red flag that it is believed the term "Jolly Roger" was derived from. In French, "jolie rouge" translates approximately into "beautiful/lovely red" which may have been altered into "jolly roger" over time.

It is interesting to note that just plain red flags and plain black flags were also used as pirate flags - red for no quarter and black for standard battle. It is mentioned in some cases where a ship has come under attack from numerous pirate ships, some flying a black bone-type flag and others with red flags or pennants from the masts. It is also seen that some pirates initially flying a black flag into battle would lower it and raise a red one in its place if the other ship resisted too much. In other cases, the black Jolly Roger type flag was used in combination with red flags or pennants and also standard national flags."

Dear me, we are all doomed... it's a massacre in the making, Greedy's gonna kill us. *giggles*

Pirate... you kinda make a girl get all flustered.

*lip trembling, heaving bosoms, and all that*

No crew vote required .... Instant recriutment to "Captains First Maid" you have learned your signalling well.

I shall be carrying a red flag when I make Landfall on your Island.

I knew it was a movie quote, my reply was a feeble attempt at humor, sowwy

7/2/09??? Feb. 7 or Aug. 2? If I remember right, I think that in Europe the date and month are switched from the US version, so it's still Feb. 7, right?

I sometimes don't have a running vehicle, sometimes I do, depends on working schedules other than mine which is why I said, "try".
Is there an approximate time set yet? Just wondering.

Red hair ..... red face ..... and determined to be there for Cap'n Greedy ..... In the face of overwhelming suspicion ., I will (since you gave the signal ).... submit .... to your scrutiny (scrutiy only .... the full body cavity search is already taken , I cant wait for that bit !) (I get to check for weapons ) . If it is possible to find one .... do you know a translator that can do American to English ?

*flips Switch switch to "on" position*

Yes, Pirate. Your submission to my scrutiny is accepted. I'm tough, yet fair. I speak a couple of languages. I can certainly try to assist in the translation from "Colony-speak" to the "Queen's tongue." I will do my very best, and if need be, I will find someone better suited for the task than me.
