Step right up and don't be shy! We have a fresh batch of Romans to dunk into frigid waters. Who's your choice?

Event runs from September 28-September 29.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.

Roll The Old Chariot Along:

For this years annual Talk Like A Pirate Day we are gonna keelhaul us some Romans! What in th' bloody 'ell does Keelhaulin' have ta do wi' Meso, Pirates (Arrrr!), water and Romans? Well ye see, Romans were nothin' more'n elevated plumbers, and we Mesopotaymian's loik ta put 'em back in their natur'l element. Add in th' hoigh seas, and ye git KEELHAUL* A ROMAN! Now, how're we gonna be able t'keelhaul multiple Romans multiple times? Well, that's the easy part. Wot's hard is gettin' them plumbers inta a small barrel. Ye see, we put 'em in this barrel wi' lotsa air (at least we believe it'll keep 'em breathin' while they're under t'ship). Then ye gives us yer pieces o'eight an' we allow ye t'choose which Roman ye want t'keelhaul. We seals 'em up in the barrel and ye have t'shoot 'em down, so t'speak. Ye take aim wi' these rotten potatoes (compliments of our Idaho connection) and try t'hit the target next t'the barrel. If'n ye hits the target, the barrel will fall inta the water and be pulled under t'ship. If'n ye fail, ye need to cough up another pieces o'eight. Translation for you landlubbers. Meet this yar's victims: Diantha Livius Julilla Sempronius Laurels Curius Titus Longinus Tobius Tullius                                      Xtreemli Curius *For ye landlubbers what don't know the word "keelhaul" (from dictionary.com): 1. Nautical. to haul (an offender) under the bottom of a ship and up on the other side as a punishment. 2. to rebuke severely.
