    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    The oddest thing is that my little brother had to borrow my bandanna to dress up for talk like a pirate day in school.

    Oh, Arr, war's yur women and booze? Argg!

    Here's my Pirate name:

    Dirty Davy Bonney
    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 can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

    I don't get it though. I answered I bathed daily, because I do... Why am I dirty? I'm not dirty, and the coolest pirates weren't dirty, they were sophisticated... Mabye it was the whole Muppets thing.

    Just becuase I was Grandmaster of the Anti-Jamster Crusade, tried to recuit people for a cybernation, I thought Discovery1 wanted to jump into drops of water and spoke like a pirate does not mean I am crazy.

    Then again it probably does.

    Arr! I be Iron Harry Cash. I be the true sacker o' Portobello, o' San Juan and San Agustino! Ye land-lubbers ha'e ne'er seen a pirate the likes o' me! I sacked Havana with a boat and my cat, sent the Spanish runnin' with their tails 'tween their legs I did! I sacked Cartagena with a few stolen Royal Navy frigates! YARRRRR!!! *grabs sword, puts on tricorne, and fancy uniform* Ha'e any o' ye fellers been to Manila? I ha'e as well...sacked it good I did! With me crew, I plundered the galleons and took dubloons by the barrel! What about Cadiz? Y'ave ne'er plundered Cadiz? Ahhh...I was so close once, but the arrival of a few Spanish boats under a laddie named Don Juan Meija stopped me before I could get off a shot! TIS NOT WHAT I WANTED!! YARRRRRRRR!!!!!

    But have ye experienced the misfortune of mutiny? HA'E YE?! Ye haven't experienced wha's like to have the men...who you've served with for a long time...and they betray ye and take yer posessions, and leave you! LIKE THEY LEFT ME!! They left me in Puerto Rico, in a cave tied up...and I escaped...by biting my way through the rope around my neck...and by scrapin' me arms on the wall to untie the rope on me wrists! AND THAT BE HOW I'M HERE!!

And all our powder was wet! There is no man on the Seven Seas, alive or dead, who can outdrink me, outroger me or outfight me!Arrrrrrrrr!
