Arr! Toonbots Be Hard, Let's Go Shoppin'
Avast and oho! Tis a merry little bit of booty which has been brought forth on decks before us this voyage. Aye, the use of vernacular and dialect, particularly that related to the noble profession of nautical re-acquisitionist, blows through the mainsails like a right bonny zephyr says I. Belay all the plans fo the new vessel to be christened SCUMF for the moment, this old sea-beast be up to many a new cruise on her own, to the alarm and delight of tipsy merchant marines. Aye, arrr, arf, vast, and swashing the buckles to mast the pivot of the tiller and yo ho ho and merrily we roll along!

I'd join in on the talking like a pirate (my first thought was 'oh crap. I missed it again. And I do so love to yell 'Yar!'), but I'm busy catching up on St. Patrick's Day 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. I've got a lot of drinking to do.
Emmy, hats off to you yet again. That was so nautical that I didn't understand it at all!

Aww, you be too kind to an old seadog, ya rodent-like wench. Does me old heart more good than twenty barrels of miedicinal rum to be spoke to with such kindness, aye, and not a hint of the black spot, beyond that which be currently on the larboard side of yon moon, in that vast ocean of blackness what no sailor has dared to cross in even the sturdiest rowboat (due to pirates' notorious fears of distant, elevated outposts and havin' one's compss burned to a crisp upon re-entry, amongst other vile and perilous happenings, aye, it be so).

... Apparently I was right, because I've already written another. And I believe I have a third bubbling up through the ol subconscious even now.
