Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket have even provided a short YouTube video to help those who might be a bit more pirate-speak challenged. Even Google is getting in on the action, those swarthy dogs.

    Today is also trade like a pirate day. Since the administration has just ruled that all the shorts should just hand over money to the longs.

    This is the most egregious example of willful market manipulation since 1929. We have ringside seats to the greatest act of sanctioned piracy since the french "blessed" william kidd.

    Oh and... Arrrh.

    How did you get your old account back?! Lost the password for my old one years ago and would love to get it back.
