Aarrr!! It be Talke Like ar Pirrate Day, Mateys

My pirate name is:

Bloody Tom 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!
