I just got back from a week on Bald Head Island, NC.
The Pirate Force is strong with some folks there!

The black flag gave a selected victim 15 minutes or a quarter hours to surrender (good quarter).
Then the red flag (jolie rouge) went up. No quarter.

“Hmm...well, my granddaddy Aloisius “Pegleg” Drill was fond of getting wasted on absinthe and sliding down the bannisters with cutlass in hand yelling “Keelhaul the Bos’n’s Mate!” but I thought it was a holdover from his time in the seminary...”
I like that! A clever bit of ironic humour there.

My pirate name is:
Dirty Bartholomew Rackham
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

“Sesame Street of the Carribean” was brought to you today, by the letters “ARRR!” and “AYE!” and by the number, “Pieces Of Eight!”

Iron Jenny Vane here. Love the sneaking and disembowling part, lol.
“A pirate’s life isn’t easy; it takes a tough person. That’s okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that’s okay, because it’s much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!”

My pirate name is:
Black John Cash
Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!
