YAR! I be **Mad Jack Bonney** they describe me as: “Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate’s life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!” ARR! indeed, mateys! Now let’s go plunder us some latte sippin’ land lubbers! ---

“Iron Jack Bonney”. Hm. I sense a theme. ---

Ok, I went back and answered the questions a little more honestly this time and got **Mad Jack Flint**. “Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr.” Either way I turn out as Mad Jack. I’ll take this name though, since “Flint” was the name of the pirate in Treasure Island who put the treasure on the island in the first place. Now then ::clears throat:: ARRGGH!! Let’s go buckle some swashes! ---

Apparentely my pirate name is **Red Jack Kidd**. My description says that passion is a big part of my life, which makes sense for a pirate. Even though I’m not always the traditional swaggering gallant, my steadiness and planning makes me a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! When do we sail to kill, maim, plunder and mutilate ? [sub] **pcubed** , are we related ? :D[/sub] ---
