Version 2.0 - completely revised for 2007!

Arrrr! So, thar ye be, sittin' all a-lonesome on the poop deck. Comely lasses (or lads) don't notice ye, mates smite ye with thar belayin' pins ... not even a parrot to call ye "Bob." What's a pirate to do? Are ye the talk o' th'dock? Cock o' th'walk? Do the mates want to be like ye and the beauties want to be with ye - or vicey-versey? Well, thar, me Bucko, this simple little quiz will tell ye - and everyone else - just what kind o' Pirate ye be

You are The Cap'n!

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.

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.

You are The Pirate

Do you remember the last time you took a chance? It was when you decided to leave the security of your mother's womb and headed for the bright light. It's time to head for the next bright light, my friend. Creativity is not your strong suit. You are good at doing what you are told to do and that, in itself, is a gift. It's not a gift to you, mind you, but a gift to those who will be there to tell you what to do. You like long walks on the beach and cuddling, but would never admit that to your pirate pals who think you are okay but can't always remember your name. Tapioca pudding seems a bit extreme for someone such as yourself, what with all the bumps and stuff. It's a good thing you are on a pirate ship, otherwise, you would be walking because you are positively pedestrian. Have a nice day.

They're right about the tapioca.

Yarr har, Matey! We had us a nasty little history pedant here who sez, "they didn't talk like that," he sez. We keelhauled the buggerblaster off of high Jamaica, we did. Now they do, ye lubber! Spit that out yer barnacle-infested gob, begar!

'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.

[heartwood]

Aren’t we all?

[Little Ray]

I remember reading about Moore. He was trying to raise a mutiny against Kidd because Kidd wasn’t pirating enough to suit him...

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

It’s “Talk Like Robert Newton With an Exaggerated West Country Accent Day” already?

Yep. And at the end of next month it's 'Dress-up-like-Margaret-Hamilton' day.

[Little Ray]

Yeppers! What a great actor!
