Bugger the cabin boy! (Did I say that?)

There's strong onshore winds building .. you'd best weigh anchor now if you want to get clear o' the foul weather!

Ahoy, milady Peggy! I fear yer good wishes won't bear fruit, at least not til well past noon. But all is not lost! Carousin' th' next cove over me ol' mate (an' sometime sweetie) Captain Sir Joshua J Crutchpits (Pirate: Retired) is sniggering quietly on th' poop o' his pretty little pearler. In our younger days a Jolly Roger 'ad an entirely different meanin', as 'e reminded me earlier this evenin'.

Sir Joshua J. regaled me with many anecdotes (truth be told, I'd heard several before!), in 'is own special style. Well, you'll soon 'ear why I was rollin' out o' m'stays wi'laughter! He's that funny, is Sir Joshua J. An' still so han'some, if bald as an albatross egg. We might be becalmed fer much o' th' weekend, lass, but I reckon might be some rollin' action in 'is cabin if I get my way!

Listen fer yerself! (An' thanks ter Rod Goodwin fer permission ter share both his recording an' his emoticon wi' Ye all)

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! We be quite becalmed an' almost beached on this otherwise fair festive morn! I see naught fer it but ter raid th' town, pressgang some likely lookin' lads, an' take 'em as booty ter ol' Sir Joshua J.

Need ter find some way ter distract 'im if I'm ter beat 'im at "cards"! Yar! question

The verry scurrilousness o'th'man! In 'is cups, Sir Joshua J. fergot hisself an' shewed me "this fetchin' wench I once knew" -me verry self! Able-Seaman Bilgeknackers it was wot papped th'pic th'first time th'Cap'n 'n' I met. Well, 'e was no great looker hisself!

I have no idea what you all are talking about.

I also have no idea why that Donut company thinks it is Friday and

Until now never knew that I was born on International Pirates Day, but being that as it may, thanks for this image:

Tis okay, we know perfectly which photo ye meant, Cap'n LOST. 'N' a very happy piratical birthday to ye!

Lost, can't Ye see that photo of a scared young wench in scanty rags? If not, I'm relieved; 'tis a mite embarrrrrassin' now, ter shew such frailty. If ye heard that tale o' woe wot led to Bilgeknackers' escape, ye'd unnerstand better why Cap'n Joshua filled me wi' fear an' squirmy terror...

A happy birthday to ye, Sir! May yer future be Golden, may Fortune continue ter shew you her winnin' face, an' may Lady Love whisper sweetly in yer ear!
