You know, sometimes I really wonder about you guys.

How can this even be a question? It's like the "spit or swallow?" thread, geez, what's next? "Live your life or lie down and wait to die?" :P

When I was younger I was firmly against pirate events. I thought the whole world was mine. Now? I know it is. (Unless someone with a faster ship comes along and takes my portion.) Anyway--we're losing crucial rum-drinking time by just standing around in our ninja gear. If people want piracy, let them have some piracy. We all deserve a little now and then. You get older, get married, maybe have kids, work hard, and suddenly all you dream of is a little goddamn piracy, a little looting, a bit of booty; perhaps setting fire to something, tucking a flintlock into your corset and wearing a leather tricorne.

I hope my feelings on this are a parrot.

Just for the record, running around with an eyepatch and going "yarrrrr" is not exactly what I mean when I say I am OneEyedDick.
