  6. Dirty Sam Rackham

    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. 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!

    Pleased to meet you... I mean ARRRH, welcome aboard laddie! I am going to go swab the deck, walk a plank and call it a day.

  13. Arrr. Was dat decapitating flowers or deflowering them? Or both?

    Those poor flowers don't have a chance, they're rooted to the spot.

    I can't even do "pirate speak" that well. Sorry. Interesting read, though. :)

  17. I am Captain Grace Roberts:

    "Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr! "

  29. 'Kitne admi the sarkar?' is a line from a very famous Hindi movie called Sholay.The fame of sholay is legendary.This is a dialogue uttered in the movie.There is a dreaded villain called Gabbar singh who is not a pirate.(I guess you can call him a dacoit)
    Sarcar literally means Government--but here it is an expression for a don. admi means man.
    So basically "kitne aadmi the?" asks how many men were there.
    I guess you have to watch sholay to get the full meaning!!
