Arrr, me hearties! This day be not fer ye lily-livered, land-lubbin' privateers, but fer all ye scallywags an' buncanneers with scurvy an' a right fear of Davey Jones' Locker. (An' I don't be talkin' bout the Monkees - tho I be takin' a monkey o'er a sprog any day.) Avast! This gentlewoman of fortune be ready to commandeer ("it's a nautical term") an' plunder a beaut o' a ship an' go in search of booty.
