[MOC] Captain Cookie's Only Pirate Gang

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Well, it must have been some twenty years since Captain Cookie has taught his men to plunder.

So, he and his gang are assembling on the peach to have a party.

Being for the benefit of Captain Cookie.

In the background you will find the famous Mozart himself:

.. and I wonder where this is coming from...

Strangely enough I hear some music in my head when I look at these pictures

As usual the larger pics look much better.

Have a nice weekend

"It was twenty years ago today,

That Captain Cookie taught his gang to slay..."

"It was twenty years ago today,

Spot on.

Magnificent.

The titles from the album by beatles could also be fine titles for mocs, but here is a couple of ideas from movies.

The Unsinkables

Scurvy wars

Guns of navy rum

Bone huh!

One flew over a pirates den

Davys hunter

Maroon

[Captain Dee]

Man, talk about a gang of misfits...

Who's the yahoo drinking from the yellow mug? Or the goofus beside him? Or the doofus sitting in front of him? Oh, wait a minute...

Actually that's not a bad crew. And I'm really liking the well-armed monkey.

If you want to talk music, I humbly suggest, based on his recent shenanigans and his current location, that Captain Cookie start up with "Get around get around I get around" by the Beach Boys.

[Plaid Beard]

What would you think if I raided your port?

Would you stand up and shoot back at me?

Give me your loot and I'll leave you alone,

And I'll try not to burn all I see,

Oh, I just steal with a little help from my gang,

Oh, keep it real with a little help from my gang,

Oh, make you squeal with a little help from my gang....

[Capn Frank]

Great crew. Where are you? Or did you teach Captain Cookie?

Who's the yahoo drinking from the yellow mug? Or the goofus beside him?

Goofus? I'm not a goofus, especially when I'm wearing my RedBeard costume.

[Captain Dee]

Actually, Phred, I didn't notice your sigfig until after I'd already posted my comment. I was (jokingly) referring to the ones behind and to your right (left in the photo). I also wondered about the whereabouts of our esteemed Captain B and whether any of you staff would reply... Perhaps KB is napping, or pondering a witty retort, or just busy brewing another cup...

Quite good. I was thinking about the "Guns of Navarone" myself.

Bone huh?

If it's the Beach Boys then we'll all go for Sloop John B.!

Always happy to inspire you guys

Great crew. Where are you? Or did you teach Captain Cookie?

I suspect CB to be a non-pirate. I saw him vaguely associated with the bluecoats.

Or maybe he is a privateer. We'll see.

The whole thing looks like a pirates parade. What are they ready for?

Ok (I had just thought of "dances with pirates")

It is a parody of a famous album cover...

[ArchitectureFan]

Excellent - instantly recognizable.

I like this!

Thank you, sir!

"I'm fixing a hole"

I'm fixing a hole where

the sea gets in and keep

my mind from pillaging...

where it will go...

i'm filling the cracks that

run through the deck that keep

my mind from pillaging...

where it will go...

and it really doesn't matter if i'm wrong I'm right,

when i'm at sea I'm right,

when i'm at sea...

see the redcoats standing there who disagree

and never win and never ask me why i'm at their door?

i'm painting my flag in a colorful way, and

when my mind is at sea,

that flag will fly...

and it really doesn't matter if i'm wrong I'm right,

when i'm at sea I'm right,

when i'm at sea...

see the bluecoats standing there who disagree

and never win and never ask me why i'm at their door?

i'm taking the time for a number of things

that weren't important yesterday

and I still go...

I'm fixing a hole where

the sea gets in and keep

my mind from pillaging...

where it will go...

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Thanks, Murdoch17 - mutual inspiration is a fine thing!

.. and a splendid time is guaranteed for all ...

[Staslegomaster]

I say, Braunsfeld. Isn't it awsome that your unusual creation inspires people to write poetry. I also illustrate my poetry with LEGO creations. You can find here. www.lego-champion.com Khabarovsk. What's the name of the album?

[Captain Dee]

My greatest concern is that it's not some of that (gasp) pirated music...

[bananaworld]

Excellently done!

Have you heard about lovely Rita? Apparently she's leaving home to become a pirate...

p.s. Pirate Paul's not dead!

Lovely Rita? I thought that was the name of the island girl on the right...

You must have read that in the news today, oh boy.

Great job

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Great job

Thanks - I assume you have discovered the monkey with the cannon that John Captain Cookie wanted to have in the picture.

[Captain Dee]

Quick question, Captain B. What's the name of the group? "The Barnacles"?

Apparently the monkey has been listening to the one that was banned by the BBC (Bricktish Broadcasting Corp.) - you know, "Happiness is a Smoking Cannon." Not from this collection, but...

Took me a little, I admit.

Edit: Yeah, anyone who thinks Pirate Paul is dead is more fruity than a nutcake. Wait, I got it backwards...

Yes, you need to look at the pictures backwards.

And no, "The Barnacles" is a girl group.

And the monkey is thinking about "Monkey's Silver Cannon".

[Captain Dee]

Oh, make no mistake, I know exactly who and what this represents. But I didn't know The Barnacles was an actual group (seems like a strange name for a band, but then most of them are I suppose). I just made it up as a way of keeping the beginning and end of the real name intact while keeping it pirate-related. As a parody (I mean parrot-y, sorry) it sounded better than, say, "The Cockroaches."

The "backwards" part should read "more nutty than a fruitcake."

Jumping bands (from Sergeant, er, Captain Cookie's to ABBA) we find that wonderful hit "Monkey Monkey Monkey."

Is this one of the *wink* strangest posts ever recorded on EB, or what?
