Shiver me timbers! Here’s a quiz from Long John Silver himself, and he ain’t hocking fried fish either!
It’s a proper treacherous quiz too, by thunder. Some of the answers have no questions, leavin’ you as much in the dark as Blind Pew.
But I got 10 out of 13, I did.
Arr! I saw no answers without their questions, sir, but I did see questions too slippery to answer. I only managed 8 of the 13–the salty dog.
I must admit, I find pirates to be vexatious to my spirit. Being a woman of a certain age, and inclined to appreciating proper hygiene, I have no scruples in raising a huzzah for the officers and gentlemen of the navy who protect us from such barbarous men. (And women if they are so inclined.)
This being Talk Like a Pirate Day means I will have to endure Hugh Hewitt “arrgging” throughout his show.
Truth to tell, I’ve always drifted to the Royal Navy’s side, meself.
But talking like a pirate, that be another kettle of porridge.
‘Tis a guy thing, belike.
Yeah, real pirates are evil and nasty. Fake pirates are fun villains.
Confession: When “Peter Pan” with Mary Martin was shown on TV during the mid-50s, I (a very small boy at the time) always ran out of the room when the pirates showed up. So I only knew of them by reputation. Never actually saw them.
