Did Ye Fight Like a Man, Ye Needn't Have Died Like a Dog!

Arrr, ye scurvy bastards!

As a buddy of mine over at The Art of the Blog
has brought the fact that it's "Talk Like a Pirate Day" to my attention, I suppose I'll get into the spirit of the day. Yes, I did one of those name generator thingies and found that my "pirate name" is "Iron Davy Flint." I suppose it beats "Redneck Davy Hayseed," at any rate.

Why is it, by the way, that all movie pirates have accents that are kinda sorta half Irish and half Cornish?

Oh well, I don't suppose it matters overmuch. At any rate, here's my bit o' pirate patter:

Arr, ye' scurvy dog! An' ye' give me any shite, I'll stuff yer arse with powder and quickmatch fit to blast the barnacles off yer "yardarm"!

G'night.

Arrr!
