<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> all ye pirates and buccaneers! SirChristopherMings, Mad_Jack, and myself have a bit of a spooky surprise for ye - it's a piratey graveyard full of `old-timey` tombstones with our own piratey epitaphs in limerick format...

Since William and Keith have been VERY busy, and have not had time to put this feature up on PiratesAhoy, I thought it would be good to make the DEADline (ooh, pun!) and put these up before Halloween, Day of the Dead, All Saints/Souls day &tc...

So here is the link, have fun, and maybe if you aren't too careful, you MIGHT learn something about how these famous pirates met their timely or untimely ends... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />

Glad you're enjoying it, we had fun putting it together. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Hopefully when William or Keith can find half a moment it'll become an "article" in our history section of the site. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
 
Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic. Although I had thought that L'Ollonais wasn't eaten, but met a more poeticly just ending at the hands of the Darien. It mentions it in this article about him:

<a href="http://www.cindyvallar.com/lollonais.html" target="_blank">http://www.cindyvallar.com/lollonais.html</a>

not at all a good fellow I would say.
 
Ahoy Diomed,how ye been doing mate <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Hi Diomed, how's college? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> Good to see ya! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Lady Cat, in her own inimitable manner, is being far too humble; she has neglected to mention that all of the beautiful graphics are entirely her clever and creative handiwork. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />

Now it should be abundantly clear the very real benefits one receives when one indulges in a plethora of rum beveridges.

That's all that's needed, I mean, it was a group effort! I wasn't able to contribute as many limericks as I might have liked...

Thanks, nice to be noticed... I guess since it's coming up on "that time of year" again (Halloween) we should make more of a mention of our little piratey graveyard. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
