Seafair Pirates meet the C-Brats

Those of you at the C-Dory factory party last Saturday heard the Seafair Pirates tell us as we were made honorary members that we had to offer a song. What you didn’t hear was Bill telling them that we don’t sing for no mateys, and they would have to get us some wenches if they wanted us to make music. The Pirates code will not allow me to say what happened later, but we did come up with the song. I thought you might enjoy reading the lyrics:


The Seafair Pirates were fierce and feared
Plundering Puget Sound
Until that day in early ‘07
When the C-Brats came to town

The Pirates turned tail and ran for the sea
But they knew the Brats had got ‘em
When a CD 16 with a Cat at the helm
Put Moby Duck to the bottom

The villagers cheered as the Pirates cursed
They knew their craft was inferior
So they hauled it on down to the C-Dory plant
To get a new molded interior

The C-Brats scoffed at the new design
And gave the factory Hell
But Scott called a meeting and told Jeff and Brett
They had to make the thing sell

So they gutted out the Moby Duck
And glassed all across the beam
The once mighty ship was a party barge now
But at least she was easy to clean

The Pirates and Brats made peace on the sea
And formed an unholy alliance
Now they sail together in their shiny new boats
That look like a bathroom appliance

But the C-Dory hull is still solid and sound
And floor in the cockpit is level
Now the Brats and the Pirates are fighting as one
To ward off the Brunswick devil
 
Looks like a great Sea Chanty (or should I say C-Chanty)....not a bad name for a C-Dory.....rrrrrrr :roll: . Now we've got to get Mike (Tyboo) to sing it for us!

At any rate, I spoke with one of the pirates at the gathering about watching for when they come ashore and invade West Seattle to "kick off" Sea Fair and form a flotilla of C-Dorys to escort them in.

He also stated that they have encountered other vessels in the past that have small black powdered cannons on board and have engaged them in mock sea battles. The only C-Dory owner I know of that has one of these cannons is "Pounder"....where are you Jim, we need you to come up to the Northwest and engage these pirates in battle.

However, I'm thinking that the U.S. Coast Guard and Homeland Security would be a bit leery of a flotilla of C-Dorys with cannons on their foredecks.

Here is the web site that I also placed on the SBS/CBC thread for the Sea Fair Pirates. www.seafairpirates.org
 
Great song! I have a 3/4" black powder bronze cannon which has been in the family for over 100 years. I had it checked out by my gun smith friend who has a real 3" cannon (mighty big sound!--every new years eve it is fired at our gathering. Maybe we should start our own "navy".
 
mike, that is fantastic! :lol:
as for armament...i have a 44mm mortar (black powder, golf balls 500 yards) if i could just get GYPSY up to the norwest.
sure had a blast with the group...no pun intended... this week-end. hope to be able to see some of the brats more often.
c u later,
mike
 
Tyboo,

Dee and I are in stitches!!! :lol: :lol: How many adult beverages did it take to come up with that!! Are you working on the melody so you can sing it for us at the next gathering? I'll bring my camcorder.

C'mon now Don, nowhere in that post does it say who the author of the song is. Maybe it was Da Nag. Or, that does sound like something Byrdman would come up with. And it's possible that it was a mutinous pirate, or possible even it was a disgruntled CD employee who had to give up his saw and screwdriver for rubber gloves and a respirator. It certainly wasn't the guy who showed me around the boat at the show. He seemed rightfully proud of the new interior, although I did get a kick out of him explaining how the Barber chair worked.

Besides, as you can see over on the new Poll thread, I have started making ammends for shooting my mouth off earlier so it is looking less likely that I would share such a digustingly disparaging damn ditty, Don.
 
So I guess it is time to let you in on the "Other Side of Jeff 'n Diane" :lol: . The C-Brats do have a couple of "Wenches" :rose amongst the crew! Georgia :dog tends to drink a bit too much :beer , but the gals tend to keep Jeff a hoppin'.

If we would have had power before the holidays, perhaps these little "Greetings" would have been able to travel across cyber space and "Wish you all a Happy Holiday Season" but due to the curcumstances, we were not able to do that.

So Here Ya go, Tyboo... This one's for You :love
