Yar, fer shits an' grins I loaded me user bio into th' Pirate Speak Translator (thanks, zugenia). Here's what I be gettin':

Who: Book vampire. Fallen academic. Equal parts geek an' nerd. Works in a public library but be a barista, porn clerk, actress-fer-pizza, dorm mom, bookseller, caterer, an' general jill-o'-all-trades. A wee bit obsessive about certain things. Some-time gamer grrl. Hopeful purveyor o' literary (or at very least literate) fiction. But more than anythin' a reader.

What: Anythin' I want. Th' only guarantees be 1) buccanneers an' 2) books. If ye hang around long enough ye will encounter at least one o' these things.

When: Anytime between 1979 an' th' present

'ere: Portland now, but Anchorage then.

Why: On accoun' o' we like ye.

HENCHMAN 21: Who`s yer date?

TH' MONARCH: I met th' lass' on th' LiveJournal, which i kept in prison. I ben bloggin'! after postin' an especially attractive picture o' me prison sculpted abs, she commented that i be nay only "Pwn", i be "Teh Sex"... whaterethat means.

Also, fer them o' ye lookin' fer a pirate title, here be a Swashbuckler Name Generator to help ye. I be Captain Jenny Rackham by this accountin'. Thas right, I'm the captain. Bitches.

So drink up, me hearties yo ho. And don't forget to eat a lime.

arr! that thar generator be splintered like a barrel twixt port an prow.

ye did yer part, sendin' them as wants to go to sea and live th' pirate life to plunder it. they be pillagin' for their names. arr! but there be more pirate wannabe traffic than a landlubbin' generator can bear.

so i be choosin' my own name! Eyes O'Malley, that's what they bin callin' me fer the eyes in the back o my skull what helps me run em through when they be sneakin' up on me from behind like scurvy yellow bellied ratties.

may i take service on your ship, capn? i'm a great bitch to have atcher side in a brawl. my eyes'll watch yer back.

The generator be an imperfect art regardless. I know not if "Rackham," after that wretched yellow-bellied bilge rat too drunk to hold a sword, be the best nom de guerre for such a stouthearted lass as meself, but so says the generator. And, it be true, it be a fun name to say, says I.

Aye! We'll watch each other's backs, me girl, and lovely backs they be! Glad t' have ye on ship!
