YARR!!! Listen up, ya bilge rats! If ye've kept yer deadlights open, yer've no doubt cotton'd by now, t'is Talk Like a Pirate Day round these parts. O'course, the scurvy dogs in America will have to wait one more setting of the sun for their chance. Aye. T'is true, me buckos.

As ye've no doubt noggin'd from the de-cor 'round me cabin, I been known ta hoist a black marooner's jack. T'is also true. I e'en leave ya a map to me booty! But step smartly 'round me bounty or ye'll meet rope's end, ya lubbers!

Now, gather round yer little freebooters and heartys, ya cowardly rats and weigh anchor. Thar be much talkin' ta do whilst keepin' yer mainsheet steady. So stay smart as paint, mateys, and keep ye far from the gibbet, ya quiverin' urchins! Or I'll bilge ye whar you sit!

May yer sails stay full and yer powder dry!
Cap'n Black Tank


Thar be new loot in honor o' this fine day!
