There be some that thinks they are safe from pirates since they dwell along the Ohio River. Cave-in-Rock was a river pirate stronghold on the Ohio River near Shawneetown, Illinois. Beware. Landlubbers, ye are only safe if you talk like a pirate.

Me granddaddy, Alonzo Pait, once lived in the town of Cave-in-Rock, Illinois a mile or so from the pirate stronghold. Was he a pirate? Me lips are sealed.

The Seven Seas

Avast Mateys,

Arrgh. Tis been a whole year and we are still roaming the Seven Seas, punishing ye scalawags who ignore Talk Like a Pirate Day. Ah, the sharks and fish have feasted on ye who walked the gangplanks.

We are nearing shore, and we’ll show the landlubbers what a broadside from our cannon feels like. That’ll teach them they can’t ignore right and proper pirates like me. Lads, double-quick, don’t let one landlubber get away! Oh, I shouldn’t have taken last tankard of rum, me head is swimming.

A frigate flying the Stars and Stripes is giving chase. Me lads, hoist the Jolly Roger and fire every cannon. We’ll give the US Navy what for. Polly, don’t desert me! When I catch you, I‘ll fricassee you feathers and all. When we’re done with this frigate, we’ll deal with ye what pays no attention to the likes of Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Now if I can just find me crutches, me sword, me eye patch, and me spyglasses, I’ll be the terror of the Seven Seas. Get ready to board the enemy vessel and show no mercy!

Now be done with it!

The Old Seadog
