Iron Roger Roberts A pirate’s life isn’t easy; it takes a tough person. That’s okay with you, though, since you are that person. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes – but who really cares? Arr! [Take that!](http://www.vcn.bc.ca/acadia/photos/pages/BBQ%20002_jpg.htm) ---

**Calico Anne Read** Often indecisive, you can’t even choose a favorite color. You’re apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You’ve got taste and education. Arr! Is Anne the only woman’s name?! Hey, we can all meet up at one of [these places](http://piratescove.net/locations.html). ---

And I be the Dread Pirate Kidd. “Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!” What makes this funnier is that last week I discovered a sty on my left eye, and went to the nice doctor, who drained it and gave me… AN EYEPATCH! I’ve been listening to this all week. Doesn’t help that I have black hair and a goatee, and, being a fencer, have one wall in the house covered with swords. One more person asks me where the parrot is, I’ll have them keelhauled, so I will. God, I miss depth perception. STEWARD! Grog for the men! Arr… ---

I be Mad Anne Bonney. 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! I must have a whole buncha long lost relatives around here. My grandfather was a Captain Kidd, for real. ---

Yeah, THE Mad Anne Kidd. The devil that spawned me and my sisters didna have much imagination. Here’s fair warning: The first slitherin’ sea-dog to think o’ layin’ a hand on this buxom lass will be tied to the mast and taste me cat o’ nine tails!

Arr! Who am I to argue in the face of such great truth. **Captain Jack Read** Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge.

**Bloody John Vane** Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s definitely the fighting. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that’s okay, because it’s much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr! ---

**Captain Anne Bonney** See that? I’m a _captain_. Me! Wait, I meant to say, "Swab that deck, you bloody teetotalers!’ Arrrrrr **RRR**!
