camwyn'Tis Talk Like A Pirate Day, so 'tis, and shiver me timbers if I won't live up to the bloodthirsty tradition of the scalawags and privateers that sailed the seven seas. . .
although blow down the mast an' call me Scurvy Pete if it's not bloody hard t' think properly piratical thoughts when the day's finest plunder comes from Oxford University Press. That's no pile of doubloons, matey, only a fine slender volume on the treasures of the mysterious East* by the good Roy Bates, all on that legendary beast, the Chinese dragon. 'Tis a treasure I've awaited a long, perishing time now, so 'tis. I'll be celebrating in port this night, you may be sure of that!
*Sweet God Almighty I can't believe I just typed that. Please excuse me. It is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arrr.
