    I found out last night that Sid Meier's Pirates is programmed to have talk excessively like a Pirate on TLaP day. Even the barmaids say "yarr".

    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!!

    Arr! Be it a cutlass duel or a drinking one, ye scurvy dog!? Did if ever tell you the time I was in Havana, and I killed fifty of the King of Spain's men with one arm broken and with only a sharpened spoon? Or when I sunk the French fleet off Tortuga with only a sinking sloop, half me men dying of scurvy, the other half infected with the clap after being to a dodgy whore-house in Barbados. 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!
