Mad Sam 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!

Dread Pirate Vane
It appears I like Dread Pirate Roberts have a taste for blood. I have the ability to blend into the background which makes it easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them... That would look good on a resume....

What was the name...
... of the pirate in one of my all-time favorite movies "The Princess Bride". Was it the Dread Pirate Roberts? "He" ran his piracy as a business. As soon as he made enough money he retired, and passed the business and the name to a protegee, who repeated the procedure. Anyway, I want to be like him! A great zany comedy in the spirit of "Young Frankenstein", "Men in Tights", etc.

Now, Now!
Brent & R.W., lets not fight amongst ourselves! We Rackhams gotta stick together so we can take over the Pirate business!! Maybe Mama Rackham just ran out of names, like George Foreman named all his boys "George"! Dick

Abhast ye lubbers...
...(whatever the hell that means), it's time to act like the gentlemen (and ladies) of the sea that we are. I'm calling a summit as the sun sinks over the yard-arm tomorrow on NoMan's Island (south of Marthas Vineyard) to divide up the US coast between our families. I'm taking the eastern seaboard from Maine to Key West for the family Roberts, the rest of ye can squabble over what's left. Arrrr.... And don't ye forget - my hull speed is over 1200 knots (see my reply on "hull speed for multihulls") so ye'll not get away easy-like! My Dread Wife Marge says take no prisoners. And whatever my Dread Wife says, I do without question. Yo ho ho (and all that) - where's my bottle o' rum? Dread Pirate Roberts (p.s. I'm retiring soon, and looking for somebody to take over the business. Also have some franchise opportunities available. Send a resume if you're interested.)

Shiver yer timbers, Dready m' lad...
(I dunno what that means either)...I've already claimed all the waters south of the Chesapeake and west to the Rio Grande...and MY hull speed is in excess of 4000 knots--nothing goes to windward like a pair of 454s! Plus, our macerators have a 1,000' range at 15,000 psi. Needless to say, we don't take any prisoners either! So unless you want to be DEAD Pirate Roberts (if we don't kill you, Dread Pirate Marge will as soon as she gets downwind of you), you and the rest of your scurvy namesakes will stay on No Mans Island where you belong!

Annie - get your gun (or macerator)
Well, Cap'n Anne - as long as I stay within three miles of the coast you can't use those dreaded macerators.... especially in discharge-free states like mine. And what's more I know that you use KO and CP, producing the sweetest smelling effluent in the world (as long as you have sufficient oxygen flow in your holding tank to encourage the growth of aerobic bacteria. I recommend a vent line of at least 1" diameter, less than 3 ft long, and without any bends). So you don't scare me! Arrrrr! Dread(locks) Pirate Roberts ps - I'm wondering if you could give some advice on the best brand of marine tissue to use. The stuff I have now is just a tad scratchy, and I would prefer something lightly scented and ever so soft to the touch... I'm a very sensitive person

Since when have pirates EVER been concerned with
legalities???? K.O. and C.P. notwithstanding...If I were you, I'd start buckling down my swash and figuring out how to swash my buckle--not to mention any other exposed parts. As for your tender behind (a friend actually named their tender "My Tender Behind")...There's nothing arcane about "marine" toilet paper...it's just VERY flimsy--so flimsy that it starts to dissolve as soon as it gets wet. So if your current choice is rubbing you the wrong way, you can use any TP--provided it passes this test: tear off a sheet and put it in a glass of water overnight. If it's still an intact, or mostly intact, sheet in the morning, keep looking. But if you stir the glass and all you see in it is "snow," you can use it aboard with no problems. I can save you some effort: confine your search to the cheapest TPs...none of the "premium" brands that advertise how strong and soft they are will pass the test, 'cuz they're all impregnated with creams for that softness, and have extra added fibers to give it the strength.
