    Call Me...



    My pirate name is:


    Iron Sam Roberts



    A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

    I don't get it. Maybe I'm just getting old. But pirates don't really amuse me. Don't care.

    Re: International Talk Like a Pirate Day



    My pirate name is:


    Bloody Harry Rackham



    Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

    Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

    Perhaps after some heavy drinking they will be more amusing?

    I'm with John. Personally, I think it's quite stupid, unless you're still in grammar school.
