This Byatch goes to the people who keep asking me whether I knew , currently Know , or currently hang out with people who know pirates. Listen up dumbfucks, Just because I am of Somalian origin dosen’t mean that I’m associated with such bullshit. And one more thing, if anyone called me Jack Sparrow again, I will pimp slap u to next week.

arrg matey
Next time someone asks, haul out your rapier and tell them to surrender their booty.
Leave the parrot at home.
Shiver me timbers!!
Just tell them that you’re now a retired pirate and that you work at Arrrrrrby’s. You can also tell them that your peg-legged pirate girlfriend works at IHOP.
These are probably the same people that consider Africa a country. Unfortunately you will probably have to deal with this every time there’s a media flare-up, because people are insensitive morons. I agree with the other commenters that you should have an arsenal of clever retorts at your disposal to cut down the douchebags.
OP: that sounds like something a pirate would say!
I’ve got my eye on you, Pirate!
Play along with it, change your facebook to pirate english, and whatever else you can, If they are idiotic enough to believe it, than use it to your advantage.
Never Wrong, you made me blow soup out my nose – the chunky stuff too – fucking A comment.
Way to brag, OP! …we are all jealous.
…and by the way, do you wear a nametag 24&7 that also mentions where you are from? If someone has that glint in their eyes that makes them look like they are full of pirate quotes, just don’t tell them! If they ask, just answer with an “Arrrr, matey!” and beat them to the punch.
oh snap
TTFN: Thank you! Thank you! *bows accordingly*
I LOVE cheesy pirate jokes. They’re some of my favorites. I’m all about bad puns and cheesy one liners. There’s even a new pirate movie coming out. I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called, but I know it’s rated Arr!!
haarrrdy harr harrr…that’s a wooden leg slapper
Oi, No Dogma, To tell if someone is Japanese or Filipino do you usually check their name tags first ?
I’m sorry, Dubaimoon. I wasn’t aware that Somalia had its own unique race.
…idiot.
To err is human, to arrrrrrr is pirate.
No Dogma, ofcourse you weren’t aware, you wear clown sweaters for f**k sakes like a circus hobo, please do yourself a favour and go back to the valley with the rest of the hicks.
douchbag..
OK, Dubaimoon… Let’s take a poll:
How many Haligonians can racially discriminate a Somalian on sight? …hands, please.
…I’m waiting…
…didn’t think so.
…douchebag idiot.
I can barely tell a Somalian from a Samoan.
What the fuck, ok just noticed the clown sweater in no dogma’s pic that dubaimoon was referring to…fucking EPIC I love it! where the hell did you get that!
lol Thanks.
I don’t remember where I got it, but when I first saw it I almost had an aneurysm…of awesomeness.
When I joined this site (just a couple of weeks ago! time flies!), I tried to think of the best picture to share with the fine folk at the Coast, and somehow I remembered that picture from years ago and tracked it down.
By the way, if this helps blow your mind a little more, the guy in the sweater is Will Wheaton…’Wesley Crusher’ from Star Trek The Next Generation. …Qu’est-ce que fuck?!
O Lordy your a star trek fan…;)
No, I’m a tight clown sweater fan.
…although I might like Star Trek a bit more just because of its loose association with this.
Ha ha ha.. He looks like he just cut one only to discover that farts aren’t supposed to be lumpy.
I know, eh? …priceless pic for so many reasons.
I wish I could re-create it.
OMFG………………..I read a TTFN post earlier today where she mentioned crocheting (that’s like knitting, right?). TTFN, if you’re reading this…do you think you could do it??? Would you have the fuzzy stuff for the arms??
hmm, I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t think you could do that by crocheting, could be wrong though.
LOL @Miles
I certainly can’t tell a pirate somosa from a potato one.
Thank you Never mind…You are the pun master!.
No Dogma..the tight clown sweater fan..I’m at a loss for words…. I think I’m going to learn how to knit just so I can take on the challenge of re-creating that thing!
REAL CHICK,
I’m a 40. …and I want to show a little midriff. 😉
Well I guess it’s a good thing I have a Fabricville discount card cause I’ll need a lot of yarn. I’ll start on it right away…do you want to keep with the original colours and theme of the sweater?….it is a classic look
no dogma- you reek of ignorance. people of different ETHNIC backgrounds look different even though they might be the same race. Swedish people that have (notice i’m not saying all swedes – just so i don’t have to defend myself later against some dumb cunt who didn’t read my post properly) a traditionally “nordic” look are white people. Italian people with a more Mediterranean look are ALSO white people. Do they all look the fucking same to you? Do black people from East Africa look the same to you as black Nova Scotians? Do West Africans from Nigeria look the same to you as East Africans from Somalia or Ethiopia?
Now maybe that is a bit specific, and if someone has not commonly been exposed to people from different cultures maybe they wouldn’t be able to tell always. Still, even if you live in Nova Scotia you should be able to tell that different black people from different places look fucking different. For fucks sake.
maybe the OP has an accent. That’s not a fucking racist assumption to make either, cunts. That’s normal, if you’re born in another country that has another another native language, you may have an accent when you come here and speak english. anyway, maybe the OP has an accent and people fucking ask him where he’s from.
Dogma, you sound like an insecure cunt, telling the OP that he’s bragging. Just cause he has a culture doesn’t mean he’s bragging about it.
Never Wrong’s comment fucking made me snort boogers down my throat…and not the tasty ones.
onetime,
“maybe that is a bit specific” was my entire point. Thank you for driving it home.
Also, if you think I was serious about the bragging thing…sorry I didn’t add the “j/k” for you. There is where you reek of ignorance.
I meant to apply my comment about specificity only to the last example I gave. That last example, was about being able to tell the difference in physical/facial characteristics between Nigerians and Somalians. I was NOT trying to say that telling the difference between ALL ethnic appearances was too much to be expected.
I do however, realize that it didn’t seem like that. So let me make it explicit that I am not driving any of your points home.
Like I said before, if you live in a populated region of Nova Scotia and think it is acceptable to say (and actually believe) that ALL black people from different countries look the same, then I can smell your ignorance.
And in light of your comment to me, I take the whole ‘specific’ thing back. It follows that if you can tell the difference between a black guy from Nova Scotia and a black guy from Somalia, then most likely you should at least have an idea, that there are differences between how a black person from Nigeria looks and how a person of Somalian descent looks.
If you claim without hesitation, that it would be impossible to tell, then not only does your ignorance reek, but it’s attracting flies.
