For some reason, I was curious to see a pirate giving the Gettysburg Address:

"It be rather for us t’ be here dedicated t’ t’great task remainin’ before us–that from these honored went t’ Davy Jones’ locker we take increased devotion t’ that cause for which they gave t’last full meaayeo’devotion–that we here highly resolve that these went t’ Davy Jones’ locker shall not have went t’ Davy Jones’ locker in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birtho’freedom, and that government’'t’people, by t’people, for t’people shall not perish from t’earth. "

And the kid replies “On the sides of my buckin’ head!”

Damn, I just heard about this on NPR not to long ago. Glad I checked in here.

I’ve always thought that pirates sound best when they’re saying stuff that pirates just don’t say.
