PREPARE TO BE BOARDED

Avast yer surfin' ye scurvy dogs! Today be Talk Like A Pirate Day, an' I be takin' yer Friends page prisoner. Ye'll all be steppin' off yonder plank less'n ye hand over all yer doubloons, pieces of eight, joolery, arrrrtworks, and Alan Rickman if ye've got him.

While I've got ye captive, here be a most edifyin' link to one of my writin's from ages ago... Pirates of the Interwebnet, posted at that there blueyondaaarrrrrr. Pay no mind to the pistol in yer gut... I'll wait to send you to Davy Jones till you've finished yer readin'.

Tell ye what: since I've taken a shine to you, I shall spare yer contemptible life if ye'll agree to join me crew. Show yer assent by makin' yer mark here below with the name ye'll go by aboard ship, and yer qualifications for the life of a pirate. If not, it's the rope's end for ya... and afterwards, Mistress Plank be a-waitin'. 'Tis entirely up to you.
