Hmm. Before even looking at the comments, I was trying to guess how many would include some variant on ‘yarr’ — I think I was low at three quarters. So I’m not sure how much conversation you can get that doesn’t consist mostly of yarrr.
We astronomers often wear eye patches to see better (because telescopes have one eyepiece and blanking out the other eye really helps), and I’ve been called a space pirate several times.
Haha, this lady at the airport where I work was wearing an eyepatch once, and these are pretty much the kinds of comments we were all making behind her back all day. She works for US Arrrrrways.
I actually went to an interview recently wearing an eye patch. I had pink eye, but didn’t want the interviewer staring at it the whole time…. still didn’t get the job
Absolutely, positively true!!
Yarrrr!
Free 3d!
Off to me office? Hold me calls! Yarrgh! Where’s me meeting!?
Win! I thought Demetri Martin as soon as I saw this graph!
Demetri Martin FTW!
I think David Bowie
“Wear the eyepatch, Bret. Wear the funky, funky eyepatch.”
ZOMG!! my dad has one eye. I want to start a comment conversation…any one in favor??

Basil St. John of that comic strip Brenda Starrrr…

Welcome our special guest, Mister Peter Sarrrrrrrrrrsgarrrrrrrrrd! Best SNL sketch ever.
Absolutely not true! I always think “Big Boss.”

I think Pink Eye…
I think Snake Plissken.

The first thing I thought of was the Mythbusters pirate episode.
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
Oh, what do you do with a drunken sailor?

Early in the morning!
Hey, party in my eye socket and everyone’s invited!
A coworker had eye surgery. I took an eyepatch, painted it white with an off-white apple for him, and hooked a pair of earbuds to it.
I called it the iPatch.
FTW.
Apple WIN!
EPIC WIN.
Agreed. Totally an Epic WIN!!
Just seeing the title made the sound of a pirate pop into my head.
Are you whippersnappers too young to remember the Hathaway shirt guy?
When I think of an eye patch, I think Lady GaGa…
she scares me
wow. completely stolen from Demitri Martin. Fail times Fail plus fail to the failth power of fail…..minus joe pesci.
I’ve never heard of Joe Pesci, is he positive or negative fail?
Oh that reminds me of Kill bill, the girl who dresses like a nurse, with an white eyepatch with a red cross over it.
By the way, some evil movie villains also have eye patches at times.
Elle Driver, aka California Mountain Snake.

Have you been watching Demetri Martin?

I think of Saul Tigh and his eyepatch in season 3 bsg!
“Gods d*mmit, Bill!”
BIG BOSSSSSSSS
Alternately Solidus, but he never really matters.
Haha that true. And sometimes I wanna ask what happened, but that’d be random and meddling ^^;
I wear an eyepatch and I think these comments are in very poor taste. We eyepatch wearers prefer the term “Arrrg!”
