PotBS Pre-Order Giveaway!
| 
Another giveaway here at The MMO Gamer! Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming early this year! Take your favorite quote from a move and translate it into pirate-speak. How easy and fun is that?
Here are a few examples:
Gone with the Wind: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
Pirate translation: “Avast, me matey!, I don’t give a damn!”
Sunset Boulevard: “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”
Pirate translation: “All astarboard, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for me close-up.”
There is just one exception. You can’t use the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2, or 3 because that is just cheating. 
The contest will end on Friday, January 11, 2007, so reply to this post with your submission! Four winners will be selected, and will receive a PoTBS pre order containing a pre-boarding party key, a landing party key, and a PoTBS game soundtrack.
What a fantastic opportunity! Hurry and get your entry in today!
The MMO Gamer would also like to thank Sony Online Entertainment for sponsoring this giveaway!

The Hawley-smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or loward?… raised tariffs, in an effort t’ collect more re’enue for the federal king’s men. Did work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper int’ the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate o’er this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Cur’e. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the re’enue cur’e, you will get exactly the same amount o’ re’enue as at this point. This is ‘ery contro’ersial. Does anyone know what ‘ice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Somethin’-d-o-o economics. “Voodoo” economics. Gar.”

Gunnery Sgt. Hartman: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human ****ing beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian ****. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on ******s, ****s, ***s or *******s. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?
