Well, thar, me Bucko, this simple little quiz will tell ye - and everyone else - just what kind o' Pirate ye be

Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You're mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that's his problem, now isn't? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

Please correct me...I thought OTLAPD was September 19?
I am pretty sure that is the day. Arrr.
Arrgh, ye are correct it is on the 19th.
Aye. Then ‘tis a but a warm-up and teaser for the real day.
Arrrrgh, preparations must be made, maties!
We have a real pirate in our family tree, not a direct line, but close enough to be interesting. His name was William Moore and he was the chief mate to Captain Kidd, the chief mate that Kidd was hung for killing. Moore was allegedly the guy who started the mutiny on Kidd’s ship and Kidd killed him to end the mutiny. There were songs and stories about him that were passed down for generations.
Glad to get advanced notice.
They're right about the tapioca.
It’s “Talk Like Robert Newton With an Exaggerated West Country Accent Day” already?

'Tis a different time now, a different Navy. If a toff wearin' a sash comes up to ye and sez, "I'm the ship's LGBT Diversity Officer!" ye'd better not ask him to shiver yer timbers.
Aren’t we all?
I remember reading about Moore. He was trying to raise a mutiny against Kidd because Kidd wasn’t pirating enough to suit him...
Yep. And at the end of next month it's 'Dress-up-like-Margaret-Hamilton' day.
Yeppers! What a great actor!
Are are you going to Scararborough Fair, Matey?
