No doubt ye know about the rash o’ pirate attacks in the last several months. They’ve been robbin’ an’ plunderin’ to their hearts’ content–except for when the U.S. Navy shoots them. In any case, these pirates be givin’ pirates a bad name, so says Cap’n Slappy, one o’ the founders o’ International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
He said that these pirates have little or nothin’ to do with the free-wheelin’, rebellious, swasbucklin’ pirates we all know and love. Instead they should be called terrorists or sea-thugs.
Now, technically, the Somali pirates be the real definition o’ pirates, but Cap’n Slappy has a point. Can ye imagine Jack Sparrow with an AK-47?
