    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.

    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.

    A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

    Talk like a pirate...?

    Hmm.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Dude, I saw a guy walking around in a pirate outfit last Friday. I thought I was getting the DT's until some girl confirmed she had seen him too.

    No wonder.
