Ahoy, me hearties! Batten down the hatches and hoist the mainsail! The anchor’s a-trip and the helm’s a-lee! Off we sail to plunder and pillage to our hearts’ content, and mayhap catch a young cabin boy’s eye. The sea is ours and the wind blows in our favor! (Ten gold dubloons to the wench who spots the Mikado reference!)

Blimey, who I be kiddin’? Me skills in pirate speak are black-spotted as Billy Bones. “Talk Like a Pirate Day” be turnin’ into a right disaster when I’ve no time to look up phrases in ordinary conversation. Arrr!

Now, off to SIGGARRRAPH.
