Some say that Piratemania is a cult...
Following on from last years BONKERS Flash Mob "Pointy Pirates FM", we're opening up a whole new can of whoop-ass this year...
YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN A FLASH MOB EVENT?
Becoming a pirate is an arduous task! It naturally lends itself to those treasure seekers amongst us, but even muggle landlubbers can be converted...
THE TIME
Sunday 22nd July 2012, Midday
THE PLACE
Ashbourne Square
THE MISSION
In a square full of hundreds and hundreds of pirates, only a brave or foolhardy landlubber would walk where cachers fear to tread. But there's always one, ready to give it a go...
At the posted co-ordinates will be placed A TABLE, and on the table at midday will be placed an open BOTTLE OF RUM, and beneath the rum will be a sign saying TAKE ME.
When a muggle decides to take the bottle of rum, they have grasped the nettle and become... A PIRATE!!!
They will hear the sound of the PIRATE HORN which inducts them into a lift of piracy.
Then we adorn them with gifts as a celebration of their new life!
BRING ALONG A GIFT FOR THE NEW INDUCTEE...
MEDALS, GARLANDS, BUNCHES OF FLOWERS, CERTIFICATES, TROPHIES PERHAPS!!!
We will bow to them and clap and cheer, and take lots of photos and curtsey to them, and they shall, like last year, end up in the local newspapers!
"O-M-G, there's, like, a new pirate in town, wawaweewa!!!!"
