Arrrrr. Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day!
According to The Pirate Name Generator, I am:
Mad Jack Flint
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
Here be some other Piratical resources for ye:
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (the book, not the movie)
- The original Talk Like A Pirate web site.
- The Dave Barry column that made the day famous: Arrrrr! Talk like a pirate — or prepare to be boarded
- The Wikipedia Talk Like a Pirate Day page
And a tip of the tri-corner hat to Captain Squish for most graciously pointing out that I had linked to the wrong Talk Like a Pirate web site, but also for providing the link to the Pirate Name Generator. Thanks also to Lady Katie for passing along the link to The Pirate Cat.
I’m looking forward to hearing what their piratical names are, and yers too mate!
Your pirate name is:
Dirty Ethel Kidd
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. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
