Yarrr, ye may call me **Dirty William Cash**. Not too shabby, says I:

“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. You’re musical, and you’ve got a certain style if not flair. You’ll do just fine. Arr!”

I talked like a pirate a bit on TLAPD, I’ll confess, including with my family, but I did nae do it when I opened court… though tempted I was, 'tis true. Savvy?
