September 19th, 2005walk the plank day
So, apparently, according to Dave Barry and god-knows-who-else, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Um, ahoy mateys?
And so, just for shits, What’s My Pirate Name?
My pirate name is:
Dirty Anne Flint
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. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
I take great offense to that. 😛
UPDATE: BTW, she is part of the god-knows-who-else bunch. 😉
oh jebus. is it talk like a pirate day already? and me without my eyepatch. sigh. i mean, yar…sigh.

Red Anne Rackham
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. 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!
You’re still my friend. From afar. 😉
Comment by Anne — September 19, 2005 @ 11:40 am
i was a boring pirate. just call me eeyore-yargh.
Comment by wendykat — September 19, 2005 @ 11:45 am
lol Wendy—nice yar.
😛 Anne. Not fair. How come you got the good name. 😛
Eeyore? No, no.. you have to take the test to play. 🙂

I guess we’re related somehow, Anne. 🙂
Comment by Kerry — September 19, 2005 @ 12:06 pm
Grampa—lol, that’s ironic, isn’t it?
A Rackham and Rackham.. looks like we have pirate relatives in the bunch. Playing to take over the ship, eh?
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 12:13 pm
Insider, I don’t know.
Well. A reason does come to mind, but it can’t be spoken out loud: having just found some long-lost relative, I must now behave.
Comment by Anne — September 19, 2005 @ 12:14 pm
OK, that was the vaguest comment. Ever.
😛
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 12:23 pm
I hope you’re not that smelly in person, sparky.
Comment by grampa — September 19, 2005 @ 12:32 pm
Bite me jackass.
I don’t smell at all.
Damn test.
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 12:40 pm
“you’re hard and sharp”
LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL!
Comment by Augustus — September 19, 2005 @ 1:02 pm
And that’s funny why exactly Mr. Augustus?
You seriously should’ve been whipped more as a child. 😛
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 1:03 pm
You asked me how come I got the good name. I can’t tell you.
Comment by Anne — September 19, 2005 @ 1:05 pm
I’m Dread Pirate Flint.
“Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!”
Argh, bitches, don’t try and steal me goods!
Comment by Augustus — September 19, 2005 @ 1:07 pm
Argh….I’ll whip you and send ya out on da plank you ungrateful pig, I run this ship! ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!…..Now go catch me some grub, chop chop!
Comment by Augustus — September 19, 2005 @ 1:09 pm
And go take a bath, you filthy animal.
Comment by Augustus — September 19, 2005 @ 1:10 pm
Oh, I see Anne. Now share about this relative.. got a pirate in your family tree?
Alright Dread Pirate Flint—you’re most definitely walking the plank. My ship—swab the deck too, while you’re at it.
And that’s a quote from Home Alone. So sad. 😛
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 1:17 pm
Disillusioning trivia for ya:
Pirates didn’t actually talk like that- the whole “Yarrr,matey†thing. That manner of speech was created by actor Robert Newton in Disney’s 1950 version of Treasure Island.
Comment by HarleyWriter — September 19, 2005 @ 1:33 pm
i did take the test. i was red grace booney or something like that. i was the boring responsible pirate which means while ya’ll are boozing it up on grog, and wenching about, i’ll be drinking water since i’m the designated driv-arrrrrrr.
Comment by wendykat — September 19, 2005 @ 1:34 pm
Harley—smarty pants. Makes sense though.. but then again, how the hell do you know? Are their recordings from that time period? Who says they didn’t say “Yarr” and “matey?”
Wendy.. LOLOL. Sure, sure… you be the good one of the group. 😛
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 1:35 pm
Garrr! I be Red Ethel Bonney! Don’t make me make ye walk the plank lass!
Comment by ms. mac — September 19, 2005 @ 1:37 pm
LOL—which reminds me, you’re part of the god-knows-who-else group. 🙂 I gotta go tag you up there now. 🙂 I couldn’t remember! There were so many who were doing it! 🙂
Comment by the insider — September 19, 2005 @ 1:38 pm
By the by, I was Dirty Jack Cash. Although I don’t know why. The decription wasn’t even close. Something tells me the pirate scientists that came up with that test weren’t walking on a full plank.

For those of you who haven’t seen it, there is a lovely theory about pirates (and so much other goodness) in here:

Captain JB Cash
Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. You’re musical, and you’ve got a certain style if not flair. You’ll do just fine. Arr!
Comment by the guest — September 19, 2005 @ 3:16 pm
Anne’s relative is me as we both be of the Rackham clan. Arrrrrrrr! Avast!
Comment by Kerry — September 19, 2005 @ 4:27 pm
You guys are really enjoying the whole talking like a pirate thing, aren’t you?
Dirty Jack—well the name sounds right Harley.. 😉
Grampa—you have way to much time on your hands today.
JB—Pardon me buster, but I am the captain of this here ship.
Yeah, yeah Kerry—you two are taking over, I get it. 😛
