Your pirate name is:
Dirty William 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!
"The Pirates That Don't Do Anything"
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
well I've never been to Greenland
and I've never been to Denver
and I've never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
and I've never been to Moscow
and I've never been to Tampa
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
and I've never hoist the main sail
and I've never swabbed the poop deck
and I've never veered starboard, cause I've never sailed at all
and I've never walked the gang plank
and I've never owned a parrot.
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
I've never plucked a rooster
and I am not too good at ping-pong
and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
and I've never kissed a chipmunk,
and I've never gotten head lice
and I have never been to Boston in the fall
(pirate captains log 2002
who be this band relient k
and why they be so full of contradictions)
we don't know what he did
but we're down with captain kidd
we don't wake up before lunch
but we all eat captain crunch
we don't smoke, we don't chew
we watch captain kangaroo
and I've never licked a spark-plug
and I've never sniffed a stink bug
and I've never painted Daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates who don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything

Honestly, Keira Knightley. I want you to shiver me timbers.
I'll show you why my Roger is so jolly.
How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
You better be prepared to be boarded, cuz I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon!
That's some treasure chest you've got there.
That's the finest pirate booty I've ever laid eyes on.
Okay, I'm done with the Pirate Pick Up Lines

Or talk like a pirate's parrot day?
Sqaaaawk! Walk the plank! Walk the plank! Wanna Cracker?

1. Pirate walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "hey, that's really cool: where did you get it?" The parrot says, "from a pirate ship, of course."
2. Pirate walks into a bar with a hook hand and an eyepatch. Bartender says "that's rough, man: what happened?" Pirate holds up his arm and says "arrr, swordfight." The bartender nods and asks about the eyepatch. Pirate says, "a gull shat in it." The bartender blinks and says "you wouldn't lose an eye from that, would you?" The pirate sighs and says "you would if it's your first day with a hook hand."
3. Pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his shorts, and says, "arr, bartender, bring me a flagion of rum!" The bartender says, "sure, pal, but what's with the steering wheel?" The pirate growls, "I don't know, but it's driving me nuts."
Nostalgia's not what it used to be.
A real pirate would never ask! A quick cut with your cutlass and they are yours forever! Or until you meet someone with a quicker cutting cutlass.

That's because it's widely speculated that FOX's programming plan is "watch what ABC does and then copy it."
But what if teenage == mutant?
Oh wait, it is.
Circumcision is child abuse.
And Sept 23rd is talk like A Homosexual Coming-Out to His Parents Day!!!
Ah yes, talk like a butt pirate day. Can't we just lump that in with talk like a pirate day?
Another year gone by, and a million Slashdotters still haven't "buried their treasure"...
