Being a pirate is alright to be,

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free,

You are a pirate!

Hang the black flag at the end of the mast!

You are a pirate!

I always manage to miss this day!  I live near where most of the old famous pirates came from as well.

Yes, and they celebrated International Talk Like a Pirate Day by stealing a ship full of tanks and rocket launchers:

Japan clearly needs to send an expeditionary force of ninjas. But can they stand before pirate tanks?

[Kirby Gotenks absorbed]

Ninjas always beat pirates, especially Chicago ninjas... they pretty much beat everything...

[veK]

let's also add some vikings and spartans... then we have the ultimate battle of the millenium  :P

[Kirby Gotenks absorbed]

Chaos fixes everything. :3

Pirates don't however.

[Dante]

How wonderfully generic.

Francis Drake was the greatest pirate of them all.

[SandChigger]

Nay, good sir, 'tis not so!

KJA is the greatest pirate of all time.
