Calico Sam 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! Educated and boring [sigh] ---

I am… **Mad Jenny Rackham** Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr! Heh. Rackham family reunion, anyone? Actually, I took this once before and got Mad Anne Bonney, which I think I like better. ---

Your pirate name is: Dread Pirate Flint Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr! ---

Dirty Bess Kidd You’re the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean – not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! What?!? I bathe daily! _Daily!!!_ ---

**Dirty Tom Morgan** You’re the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean – not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Other pirates know you to be a drunk, unreliable, greedy person. And they’re all very jealous, since that’s as perfect as a pirate can get. Arr! Heyyy! ---

Mad Charity 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! What has this got to do with Muppets? ---

Captain Anne Cash Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. You’re musical, and you’ve got a certain style if not flair. You’ll do just fine. Arr! ---
