Ahoy! This here's yer captain speakin', an' I'll be sayin' like so:
Today's th' most glorious o' days! Today, we be celebratin' th' wonder o' salty speech an' salty dogs! Curs an' wenches all o'er th' wide blue seas'll be shiverin' ta th' sounds o' our names!
The day's been a good one to me - all o' th' world bent their heads to me greatness, an' I won me duels. (No man can stand afore Dirty Anne Bonney without shakin' in 'is boots!) Th' fare o' th' galley is done gone bad, an' it went down me gut like poison an' rotgut, but I lived ta tell th' tale, an' spit on anyone who dares say any diff'rent!
I commandeered a fine vessel (bluer'n th' great wide seas, an' twice as beautiful, I tell ye!) an' sailed fer home, wind in me sails an' gold in me pocket. I'll be comin' home triumphant today!
