I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times were tough and though I tried, the money wasn’t there
'Til bankers came and took my land and told me “Fair is fair.”I looked for every kind of job, the answer always “no.”
“Hire you now?” they’d laugh and say, “We just let forty go.”
The government, it promised me a measly little sum
But I’ve got too much pride to end up just another bum.But I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone.
I’m gonna be a pirate on the river Saskatchewan!I don’t know the tune, but it works to Banned from Argo.
Nice try IDF
A [*squints*] ~20 gun frigate with a crew of only 30-50? That’s sounds like a startup nightmare. You’d probably want double that to be comfortable.
“Get in on the ground floor of our fast paced, dynamic environment! Must be self starter willing to work watch-on-watch for the team. No sick days.”
I can’t play any of those instruments but I know how to make hard tack edible and can reef a sail.
I’ve also got a copy of Lobscouse and Spotted Dog for making authentic sailor meals
I’d cut off my leg to attach a peg for the opportunity to be a pirate over my current job
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.
Honestly, rope blisters don’t seem as bad as what I’m working with rn.
Objectively better than my current job
Do you have a need for programmers?
No concertina? It’s like the piratey-est instrument!
The concertina has historically been a favorite instrument among people who travel often (due to its small and compact size), leading it to be a common instrument among soldiers, sailors, and cowboys. One was even brought aboard Robert Peary’s 1891 expedition of the Greenland Arctic. Despite the pop-culture association of the concertina with the Golden Age of Piracy, the concertina was invented approximately 100 years after the heyday of piracy in the North Atlantic.

Shiver me timbers. Me whole worldview be built on a lie.
🎶 What will you do with a drunken sailor, what will you do with a drunken sailor? 🎶
Do they offer free limes in the office?
Gotta keep that scurvy away somehow
Literally the only thing that would prevent me from saying yes is the lack of air conditioning.
I can not tolerate the heat, at all
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now…
