Somebody like "Pegs-R-Us" ought to have something nice that's got scrimshaw on it. Then we'll have to poke one of your eyes out so you can justify using an eyepatch. How comfortable are you with being confined to wicklock pistols and wearing lit wicks in your hair during raids? I don't know about a parrot, will a chicken do?

You're gonna have to rot out some teeth too. To hasten the process, ask a friend to punch you in the mouth repeatedly. Oh, and start drinking rum heavily. Hmmm, that costs $ - maybe take an old radiator and start on moonshine instead. After your teeth are all punched out you can still play tuba using wooden teeth.

Things are tough all over! That 'Capital One' bunch of pillaging Vikings is looking for work, too!

This place isn't cheap, but it is my first go-to for doublet, breeches, and rapiers.

Finally, does anyone know where I could make a good living being a pirate, say, 2/3 of the time and a tuba player 1/3 of the time?

If you're really considering this, the VERY FIRST thing you need will be a pirate ship. You can't do no piratin' without someplace to hang your pirate flag and those pesky crew members.

And no. If you thinking about being a tuba player *ANY* of the time, odds are you're not going to make a good living any of the time...

Windshieldbug nailed it. The first thing you must acquire before the costumes etc... is a fast skinny boat with a black hull. A cannon would be nice!

if you do indeed become a pirate you will have no choice but give playing tuba since it will be very hard to work the valves with a hook. Unless you cut off your left hand.

If you seize any ships with musical instruments on them make sure they are not cheap crap from China. find out which ships have the the Yamahas the Miraphones on them and then give me a call.....

Hey ya gotta sell your booty somewhere.....

If nothing else, it'd make a way cool bell cover.

Pirates don't buy their clothes. They steal them or take them from their dead victims.

Learn the following phrase,

"ARRRRRRRRGH!"

Since there have been a couple comments on lawyers....

So this engineer dies and gets sent to hell (accidentally).
He looks around at th place, sits down, and starts drawing up blueprints. Within several days he's the most popular guy in hell. He redesigned the layout to make the depths of hell more accessable with elevators and escalators, he installed a complex sprikler system to take care of the excess fire, he even installed an air conditioning system to cool the place down to a more comfortable temperature.
Soon enough, word makes its' way to heaven about what he's done and St. Peter realizes that there was a bureaucratic error in the paperwork and the engineer was supposed to go to heaven. So God and Satan have a sit down to discuss the matter.
God- "We made a mistake, the engineer should be in heaven not hell. I would like to take him now."

Satan- "No, he's making it very comfortable down here, you should see what he's doing to my place!"

God- "Fine, then I'll sue you to get him back!"

Satan breaks out into laughter- "Where are you going to get a lawyer?"

So this guy meets a pirate. Pirate's the real thing, too: peg leg,
hook, eye patch.

Man: You know, I've never met a pirate before. If you
don't mind me asking, how did you lose your leg?

Pirate: Arrr, matey, no trouble a'tall. I was sailin' into
HongKong when we hit a reef. The mizzenmast, she broke free
and fell on me leg, trapping it against the starboard railin'. The
ship, she was a-goin' down fast, so I whips out me knife, cuts
off me leg, and swims to safety.

Man: Wow, that's an amazing story! So, how did you get
your hook?

Pirate: Well, I was out fishin' in me skiff one day when I
reached overboard to pull up a great seabass. Just then, up
from them black waters jumps a shark, and bit off me hand.

Man: That's amazing. Well, what about your eye?

Pirate: Arrr a cursed day that was. I was checking the
main rigging one day, and as I looked aloft, a seagull flew over,
and defiled me eye.

Man: Wow, I would have never thought that'd cause you
to lose an eye.

Pirate: Aye, but ya see lad, twas me first week with the
hook...

----------------

A pirate walks into a bar, with this huge steering wheel sticking
out the fly of his pants. The bartender looks at him and says,
"Hey, buddy, you got a steering wheel sticking out of your
pants."

The pirate sighs, and says, "Arr, I know. It's drivin' me nuts."

One way to tell if your kid's going to grow up to be a pirate?
He asks you, " Arrrrrr we there yet?"

Ninjas are so much better than pirates.. I mean, Batman could totally kick Jack Sparrow's ***.
